Anyone know the actual paint code for Antracite? Ive trolled the tinterwebs trying to find it but failed. That or ill have to go down to my paint shop and use one of those colour charts and find the closest match.

Hahaha! yeah im fine with the dress thanks (; Ill bring it to you then mate, ill PM you when it comes closer to the time for me going to do it. (around 1 or 2month or so yet) I'll imagine its going to be costly in the sense you'll might find a few things wrong with it that I'll need to start a...

Haha bought it from 1 previous owner who had it from new. Cars got full history never seen over 5K a year in its life and its a 53 plate. Bought for 1,500. Nothing wrong it with! pretty much new! Hence why I want to give it a proper service. Edit: May I point out to anyone reading that I have...

Right, Come to a point where the cars been that thrashed and only visually loved that the insides are starting to cry. Well theyre not im just guessing they are. My clio project is soon coming to a complete point. After that im going to treat it to a proper service.. but how much is it going to...

Usually! I have "Mad interweb skillz" and can google/find things at the speed of light.. except this, I have somewhat an idea for keywords but knowing me id order something completely wrong. So! Im in need of a fresh new plastic housing for the rear boot light (under the rear license plate)...

Why the postman insists on coming as early as half 6 in the morning is beyond me. However this finally arrived: It didn't arrive like this, I started to hack into it. Dog even got some enjoyment out of it as he loves popping bubble wrap: Behold! So off down to the brothers for me to...

Heading toward Mansfield. Need to Autosol that exhaust ;)

ive actually booked the week off work when this comes out. Serious no life dedication.

Springs are on! To my shock the lad that did it (friend of a friend) was only my age! Bit worried at first but this guy knew what he was doing, full credit to him. Pointed out things that's wrong with it that I didn't even know. Apparently my rear engine mount is either gone or on its way out...

All I used was 1200 sandpaper, sanded the whole light down, hazy as balls. THEN you T-Cut the whole thing back up. Done.

Nice mate! all good mods so far loving it. Although you've beaten me to the refurbed alloys! mine came in Anthracite but curbed badly on 2. Some point in my money burning spending life ill save to get the done then invest in one of those alloy protector rim things in black. At least you have...

Right this is annoying me beyond my sanity.. I changed my front discs (1.4) around 3 months ago. This past month whenever I come to a slow break I get this serious loud, friggin annoying ass squeal! even with my windows shut I can still hear it! people turn heads sometimes too! my question is...

One of my coil packs went on me. What I got in return was: Violent juddering, Engine management light and SERV light pop up, and it was horribly un-drivable. Wont reach revs, massively sluggish etc. Sounds like you have the same thing. Hopefully. You can get aftermarket pencil coils, I...

Another update: Springs arrived in the post today, WHY the courier dude had to come at half 6 in the morning is beyond me, had to shout from the upstairs window telling him to hang on as I fail at putting clothes on. Happy days right? Went to go get them fitted.. quoted me 120 to fit em...

I own a 1.4, my brothers best friend Is a senior Renault mechanic. He told me theres quite a lot of difference between the 4 and the 2. With the 4 being a lot more nippy. Although I don't want to admit this im shocked at what mine can keep up with or overpass as standard. Beat my friends 1.8...

80-100quid! whaaat that's mad. I would rub it in and say my brother professionally paints all my stuff for free haha but if you know someone local in the spraying trade they'll hook you up. Life really though, its all about who you know in the end! Gonna look good in the end though all worth...

Haha did you have your eyes on that same one too? I posted a wanted ad on here for one, as idealy I wanted it already in black so I can receive it and whack it straight on rather than the ball ache of sanding it down and re-painting. Guy did me a deal of 115quid for it.

Pressed plates looking good! Don't know whether to do it to mine? Recommend it? Whats going off with your cup spoiler! got it painted yet? or got a quote for a paint job?

Havent updated this in LOOOONG time! I had a plan and got it all booked in and sorted out to get a custom made twin 182 exhaust with a local company for 400 big ones. I waited weeks for the date and when the date came, I turned up and well.. excuse of the year award goes to this guy " Mate im so...

I know this, id never cut into the well, weaken my whole rear quarter for an exhaust? Norrr aha. Can someone clarify whether the 182 bumper actually hangs lower than the 172?

On the recommended vids on the 30-100 vid. Theres a vid of "Supercharged Clio 182 335bhp" is this also yours? either way that video is friggin mental. Also love how you get from 30-60 in pretty much 2 seconds hahaha. Bet you've spent a few shiny coins on this!

May I also justify my description of the Longlife dude.. Powerflow today were all, well welcoming, talking to me all sound and getting feedback from each other etc etc. your standard GoodGuy! place. Longlife, is this much older, rougher looking dude, short answers, looks at me like "wtf are...

Haha not intending to sound like a dick but I am 22 and have a questionable sense of humor! Just needing advice on this as I personally have no idea as I basically suck at most thing car wise. Whats thrown me off today is that powerflow have told me the 182 rear bumper hangs slightly lower than...

Right I started a thread about whether Longlife exhausts are any good, got 90% positive reviews, however today someone recommended a powerflow dealer to me in my local city center! went down today.. and well.. I have no idea anymore, im confused as balls, heres my situation: - Own a 1.4 172...

Also theres a cut out for the exhaust but I don't know whether you can see but the cutout is too far to the left so it don't sit flush with the exhaust either, just hangs under it aha.

haha its a dead give away! my brother even said if I want to go over the top with this replica I mayaswell take it out and weld a steel plate on top aha

Only took the one photo, and that was with an iphone5 haha. But! im actually impressed with the reflection ive got on this! so thought id share it. No fancy camera work or nice location (because I suck), just admiring the shine and relfection (;

Tiny update, got Chrome indicator bulbs all round now! theyre the cheap 3quid ones off ebay, seem to do the job! all work.. so far. Before: After!: Also I did the mistake of waxing the whole car in the scorching sun, so after 2 hours and sunburn later I have this! I call it.. the mirror...

Not the best photo as I was driving. Saw this questionable PH1 and had to get a pic, not sure whether theyre a member on here? Edit: Just pointing out that under the Clio badge is a Sport Badge and the Renault logo on the left had the cut in half and diagonally placed like that.. never seen...

Ah! yeah forgot that one to put on my list lol. 1.4 badges were (in older posts) sprayed straight silver, look good yeah but these 2.00s are pure gloss aluminum! So eventually my bro will respray the 1.4s in gloss silver and get them looking as shiny and as cracking as these 2.00 ones are...
