Finally got around to cleaning and polishing today.

I used all Britemax stuff, and I've very happy. All done by hand and by a relative valeting novice, the results after 4 hours :)

Ohhh and a big thank you to you Mr Imprezaworks :up: Solution Finish is amazing on all the plastics :)

Just need to do the interior tomorrow. After that fit the Fabia Splitter and then get the wheels refurbed and I'm happy :)

Finally got around to fitting the new bulbs today.
Got 2No pairs of Philips Silver Vision, all in they were £26 off ebay.
Got a pair of smoked side repeaters for the front wings too, from eurocarparts.
Also got a new number plate light too, old one was looking tired, I will fit this once the new brighter bulb turns up.

The side repeaters need cutting down though. There are 4 small plastic fins, that support the bulb tunnel thingy. I butchered them with a stanley knife to get them to fit, easy and quick to do so no drama's.

Used the discount code and got the lot for less than£12.
Pics are a little too close, does look much better from a distance, very subtle, just what I wanted :smile:
The red around the new front is not from the bulb, its a reflection from a red car opposite.

I may be being blonde, which is a high possibility... But I was thinking of getting these for my Clio... From what I can tell, they only change the look of the reflector, am I right? Or am I missing something...

Correct. They still flash orange when the indicators are turned on. I just did it to change the look.
Be careful not to get clear indicator bulbs, that go with orange lenses :)

Very interested in that complete steering wheel setup. You got a rough price including everything? And links too please?
Thanks in advance

Bit of a late reply.....? I got the wheel from driftworks.

Personal Grinta 350mm wheel

You’ll need this spacer, the Personal bolt holes are rotated differently to the more common Momo/OMP wheels.

Hub adapter

The boss is a Momo K7218

Altogether it was about £180, that was a while ago now

I’ve added a few more subtle tweaks to the car now.
  • Turinis refurbed in anthracite (bit too dark but loads better than standard)
  • Michelin PS3’s all round
  • New Cup front dampers (already done rears last year)
  • H&R 20mm lowered progressive springs all round
  • Power flex front ARB bushes
  • Boot badges removed and replaced with RS badge
  • Alpine ide-178BT headunit and SWE-1200 underwear sub (followed @Gus thread link Here??)
  • Rockford Fosgate front door coaxial speakers
  • Full belt service with genuine belts, dephaser, Elf Evo synthetic 5w-40, Type-D coolant fluid etc
  • Full clean, polish and wax with Britemax gear
To fit
  • Powerflex exhaust mounts (still ?)
  • RS front grille - tried Solution finish and it’s still blue/grey.
  • Full front bulb set - fit these when I put the grille on.
Next things planned:
  • 10mm rear stub axle spacers and front hub-centrics maybe???? Kind of like the standard look, but also like @OssPoop motor ?
  • Alpine SPG 13CS components speakers - Rockford’s don’t seem much better than the previous speakers.
  • Might add an Alpine KTP-445A power pack if I add components.
