You can use isopropyl alcohol to remove the sticky residue from the interior trims, then either leave them, get them sprayed Matt black to look OEM or if they absolutely have to be carbon you could get them carbon skinned by someone like this lad...

Thanks mate, you finished yours yet? You came up in conversation the other day when I was talking cars with Pete B

Last seen 18th December, looks like he's done the shithouse shuffle out the back door.

Overall the car is really nice, I'd be more than a bit annoyed if the seller has misrepresented it, especially if you've specifically asked for pics/info of 'the bad bits' , I'm not taking the piss here, but did you collect it in the dark? Blisters in the paint looks like solvent pop, which is...

Bought the Clio a little Xmas present, will have to wait until post-MOT to be fitted because I don't want the tester crying about it not having an airbag. I love Nardi wheels, had a Deep Corn in my MR2 Turbo years ago, this is my first 'Personal' and I'm really happy with it.

Loctite 518 for the cam cover Clio R3 maxi build Manual specifies DowSil 732 for No1 main cap, but Loctite 5980 is also suitable.

Personally, for what they cost I don't see why you wouldn't while you've got the sump and windage tray off. At least pull the caps off the rods and inspect them

I'm assuming you mean front brake pad slider shims? What model is your Clio? What's the chassis number?

That's really nice, can't argue with the results there.. it's still on my list of things to do but at the moment I'd rather spend the £2k on an exterior blow over first

Yes you can do the rod bolts with the engine in situ, it is possible to change the rod bearings at the same time.

Soda blasting removes paint etc, I just want the 20+ years of gearbox oil leaks, underseal and road grime removed from the underside

Frostworks.dryice on Instagram TBH if is was a 20k car I wouldn't baulk at the price, but i don't think it's worth it on a Clio, I'll probably just get it as high off the ground as I can on some tall axle stands and attack it with some chemicals, a drill brush and the pressure washer.. then...

30kg of it in pellet form is <£100, I've got no idea how much you'd use doing a floorpan 🤷‍♂️ I fully understand there's a cost of doing business, I may have been optimistic/way off the mark which is fine, it just felt a bit spicy when you can get a full body shell media blasted for around...

Anyone had the underside of a car dry ice blasted recently? Had a quote from a local place to do the underside of my Clio.. just the blasting, no post blasting treatment or underseal etc. They want £1100?! Seems like strong money for what can't amount to more than a day's work, I was...

Got a few bits done this weekend, airbox is fitted with new Flexi hose for the cold air feeds, Skoda front splitter fitted and front bumper fitted properly Got the back brakes done today.. new brembo discs, powder coated pad holders, I stripped and plated the mounting bolts and retaining...
