Definately, engine de-greaser at the ready. Strange seeing as the exterior and interior as so well looked after but the engine bay forgotten about! Bought some blue & black high temp paint. Will crack on this weekend, fingers crossed it comes out well!

Still undecided, Was thinking blue rocker covers and black inlet mani. But maybe yellow and black to go with the brakes? Not sure! Thanks man. Yes I'm happy with how the callipers turned out. Doing the work yourself is so much more rewarding, and cheaper! Plus keeps me busy now the nights are...

Not getting many comments but may as well keep updating this thready just for my sake! Started stripping down the engine bay in order to change the spark plugs, clean the throttle body and begin to painting the inlet & rocker covers. Seems most of the engine and the bay need de-greasing and...

Changed the Oil & Filter last night, took me an hour and a half including flushing the engine-not too bad considering it was my first time and I spent ages scratching my head how to actually get to the oil filter! Swapped the murky black oil for some fresh Shell Helix, should hopefully help it...

Think I saw that advertised on gumtree a few weeks back? Looks clean. Considered viewing but it was too far away from me. Also seemed very well priced considering the advertised spec... hope it turns out a bargain for you!

Oh dear, hope it's not too expensive, otherwise it might not have been so much of a bargain after all!!

Been busy over the weekend! Gave it a good clean. Would like to get it professionally detailed soon, but is there much point considering winter is coming and it's not a garage queen? (You can see my trusty assistant on the left!) Brakes painted yellow, as promised :relieved: (And...

Beautiful car mate, sitting perfectly on those coils. But as above - crying out for a cup spoiler!

Good man, thanks for the heads up. Spent the last 4 years playing with only 106 GTi's so still got a lot to learn with Clios !

Too late, yellow paint purchased!! Inlet & rocker covers needs doing as well, Will probably go for black / yellow engine. Quick question, I can take the inlet off to paint - but do people paint the rocker covers in situ? Saves me taking them off and trying to reseal them - which I've always...

This is stunning mate. Love the engine bay paint as well.

Cheers guys. Thanks matey, Got a Sparco steering wheel on order, looking forward to fitting that. Also needs an aftermarket stereo with AUX in etc. Also planning on painting the brakes, probably yellow? Then will soon be after an induction kit and decent exhaust.

Hi guys. Signed up to this forum what feels like 40 years ago when I had a gold Clio 1.2RT as my first car, but never posted anything. Anyway, I'm back now with a 172 Cup. Got it back to mine yesterday so haven't even had a chance to clean it yet, never mind start changing things. Here's a few...
