Hull for me, only down the road! :cool:

Getting the wheels fitted tomorrow. Test fitted this weekend. Spacers need to come off the back, possible that the fronts will need to be swapped to 20mm. Also cleaned the arches this side whilst the wheels were off...:neutral:.. just a tad mucky! Also clayed the car and brought the DA out...

Big write up, firefox crashes, c*nt. Once again. Hoping to book the car in the bodyshop from Friday this next week, but they never got back to me last week to confirm, so fingers crossed.. New sidelights fitted as one died. Didn't last very long. Will get a pic at night one day. Decided...

Next 2-3 weeks should finally see some progress! Mocked up a quick logo for a local car repair/spray company (who did some work previously on the Clio a while back) so getting a decent deal on the next bits of work I want doing. Not far away at all which is a major bonus. For anyone...

Terrible pic quality alert.. Done the drivers side - Door handles and this bit all laq'd up. Door handles to fit at later date when the other one is done. Look pretty smart. Interior is coming on well now. Soon time for the headliner...:neutral: Ready for malton tomorrow.

Steering wheel top done. Tidied the bit poking out slightly. Will be going over any crappy bits that come unstuck at the end. And the drivers side, er, whatever you call it. Doing the other tomorrow. Ignore the rain. One more coat to do. Turned out good so far. Just need to get some...

Bottom part of the stereo done. Need to work out how to sort the heater area as parts of it have flaked off. Not sure what to do there. Also have 3 other handles, no idea how, lying around so took one apart and gonna try and spray this. See how it turns out. And yet another bit that's...

Spent a vast majority of this weekend prising more bits out the interior, spraying and trimming parts. Made a nice long list of things to do also. Never ending project.. 2 back strips trimmed and the passenger seatbelt bit (which was a right cu**). I'll try and tackle the drivers side another...

Started on the passenger visor this weekend. It's going quite well, so far. Now just need to put it all back together. Somehow. :nomouth: Visors split, trimmed and platics bits sprayed (first time ever spraying). Waiting for the paint to dry then onto lacquer. Did have it pretty damn good the...

Think I had a black car somewhere :/ MOT done. Passed ok, couple of advisories - suspension arm rubber bushes deteriorated. Front lowered again a touch. Pretty much spot on now. 1mm camber shims to the back. Doesn't scrub at all now on the tyres. Feels a lot better. Befre/After...

Looking tidy. Out of interest how have you relocated the boot popper? Im looking to do smooth the back aswell but unsure on what to do there.

Tickets booked :) Any stipulations on passengers on track - need to bring a helmet etc? If someone's got a spare seat would love to experience a track [emoji106]

PM'd :)

It's pretty similar, just a tad darker but same sort of material. Just less worn! It was on offer from eBay a while back. Loads around. I plan doing the roof as well one day but need some more practice first. Can imagine it's a little tricky due to the size.

Finally started doing some trim this weekend - pillars/centre light. Came out pretty well. Also tidied up the dash cam wires so they now run neat behind the pillar. If anyone has any guidance on how the hell to tackle the sun visors or the gear gaitor please shout :) Next on the shopping...

Won't be anytime soon but if your in no rush and still interested in a few months I'll shout :)

Fairly sure it was eBay. Around £20.

Haha, wish it still was that clean 😢

Bit of a sweeping statement as that won't work for everyone. Last year I tried a 182 and was around £900 alone. But I'm wondering due to being 25 next month the price has come down a fair chunk so it's looking like I'll 'upgrade' later this year as won't be too much more. Surprised me though as...

Insurance was due this week. Crazy renewal and crazy quotes on the car, was looking at around £800 for brand new quotes with 3 years no claim. Was getting cheaper quotes to insure a 182...:grimacing: But in the end, managed to get it just over £500 (Multi with Admiral) for both the Clio and...

Ha I wish! Im happy with the little engine.... for now :) Next year saving up for a 172 or 182.

Reet last update for a while. The DA I bought that I'm using for the next few steps. After the white pad/400. As said above did this quite light and not overly fast as still learning the DA. Took a couple of scratches off here and there. Swirl marks are hard to get in pictures so nothing to...

Get them! I'm fairly new to using the Polisher/these products and have a lot to learn but they've given amazing results. I'm still a bit wary of the 400 and using the hard pads as I dont want to screw the paint up, but using it lightly and at a slower speed has taken out loads of swirls, minor...

Carrying on with the clean... When the tyres were done stuck some of this on. Really rate this. Nexttt. Seen very good reviews online for this so forked out seeing as I want to protect the Rotas as much as poss. Wish I got this before I stuck them on the car though. Hindsight. Didn't put much...

Haha cheers dude!

Right start of the winter mega clean last weekend. F this rain now. Using some of the new products I've ordered on CYC and learning the DA. After a foam and wash. Not bad.. Next up wheels. Little bit of this. Then main is this. And some of this on the tyres. Pretty decent even if its...

Decided against them. £60 for brand new black inserts or 100 plus just for second hand xenons. Granted they do look smart though! Haha. Never getting rid of these. Im sure some pop up for sale now and then but seem to be quite popular when they do.

Been a while. Slowly building up bits and pieces (and working OT to buy sh*t). Next day or so will post up the massive cleaning sesh I did this weekend with some new bits 'n pieces. Did 300 ish miles the other weekend going round Haydon bridge area/Hadrian's wall. Just about managed the hills...

Looks smart dude. Liking the colour of the wheels, stands out well and suits it imo.

I have a powerflow on my 1.2. It's one of their smaller ones and is pretty much perfect in my eyes for noise. Not stupid loud, just more throaty/sportier. But if your looking for a twin for the future I'd personally wait.
