Consumables on better cars - Self vs Garage?
Discussion
Good evening all,
My question relates to replacing consumables on an RS 250 CUP with pads and discs being the main ones.
The car has got 24k on it so will need the front pads and discs replacing soon.
I've replaced discs and pads on the old car and also do servicing on the motorbike and just write it in.
I wonder, due to this being a performance car, would it hurt resale value's if I did it myself?
Obviously you don't get a stamp saying 'discs and pads' changed by dealer, would a simple receipt suffice?
It just seems pointless paying someone to do a job at £100ph or however much for a job I can happily do myself.
I still intend to keep a full renault service history.
Thanks!
Adam

Stating the obvious but use genuine or upgraded items, not motor factor generics. Keep receipts, etc.My question relates to replacing consumables on an RS 250 CUP with pads and discs being the main ones.
