You're a gent, thank you buddy :up:

 

[Alastair.]

Got the standard air box finally sorted thank to @Jamie86

Cleaned up the plastics and pipe work.
Re-sprayed the brackets and bolts.
Fit a new air filter.

Managed to sell the KTR for £99, happy with that.

Removed KTR.

Fit new filter.

Much better.

I fitted a new battery to a cup today. The need for a cup is strong. The sun was out and the mineral really had a nice fleck to it and they really do look great with the silver turinis.

I know what you mean. This was after I clayed, polished and waxed the Cup a few years ago. Took all day but was worth it!

 

[Jamie86]

That air box and pipework has come up rather well

 

[Daniel]

Needs the inlet/rocker cover/Cambelt cover painting silver now. And a new coolant bottle.

Ordering a set of those mats now, proper cheap!

 

[Alastair.]

Yep that's on the list, I my just do the sanding process as I don't really want to paint it tbh.

Clean it with a degreaser and paint it with Autoglym wheel silver.

Just trust me, mines been like that for about 7 years and still looks good.

Cool I may give that a bash then, no clear coat just paint yea?

 

[Daniel]

Yes sir. It retains the OE finish but keeps it looking clean.

 

[Gaz_]

I re did mine

Then when you've done the engine do the calipers

The get some new ones of these (makes all the difference)

Should be about right then

 

[Alastair.]

Lovely

 

[yeecup]

Can't beat a mint oem cup

 

[Matti_f]

@Gaz_ where did you buy the bullets ?

Your cup is how I want mine to be when finished looks so clean!

 

[Jamie86]

I'm pretty sure I have spares of them Ali if you want to do them off the car prior

Cheers

They were new from Renault

Can't beat a nice cup. I've been hankering after another one as a toy lately. Mondial blue in the sun with fresh silver turinis is an awesome combo

What's that mate?

 

[Jamie86]

What's that mate?

Inlets and can cover/engine mount

 

[Alastair.]

Managed to get the Standard headunit sorted thanks to @Daz... I swapped my spare update list headunit which wouldn't work in my Cup for the Tuner list version.
Looks so much better.
Sold the old Alpine on here unit which was a bonus to.

Old unit

Original unit (slight upgrade from standard being Cabasse)

Quick bath and back in the garage.

 

[MarkCup]

I get all emotional every time I come in here! Sniff.

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

You know you want to @MarkCup

Can't believe how box fresh these look!

 

[Daz...]

Looks good mate, much better with the standard headunit :up:

Hopefully yours will come today, excuse the packaging, yours was very professional!!

This is one tidy car. iPod connectivity is on my list as I don't do piles of CDs everywhere lol.

 

[Alastair.]

Took the Cup in to work today, absolutely dead so I gave it a polish and cleaned up the exhaust.

Polybushed bits.

Polished the wheels up.

 

[Stefan.]

So nice!!!

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Gets better every time

I do love you threads Ali. I've got no need or use for a Clio but I'd buy this in a heartbeat

 

[andy_coops]

Too clean. Like it lots.

 

[yeecup]

Stunning.

 

[Alastair.]

Took some pics under lighting, lovely colour.

 

[Matti_f]

Car is looking very fresh Alastair, great work so far

 

[Ads29]

That is stunning, a lovely example of how clean a clio can be (quite ashamed of my old battered one now lol)

 

[Alastair.]

Lovely little package arrived for me today.

 

[yeecup]

Brand new original?

 

[Alastair.]

Brand new original?

Brand new original, £138 deliverd :smile:

 

[clembo747]

Absolute beauty :up:

 

[Alastair.]

fitted my new genuine steering wheel, thanks to @*renaultsport172

before

After

You may notice the new gear knob aswel, I will be spraying the cap back to the original blue eventually. The leather on the old one had worn through.


Going through the history I found an old Advert for the car from back in 2005.

 

[VIICarCare]

Lovely example! The colour is just stunning, isn't it! I adore mine.

Get some bumper stickers if you're trying to continue OEM!
