Had a minor incident today with a c*nt on a ped. If he got any closer he might aswell been under my wheels. Decided to cut me up when overtaking in the 30 zone and then stop later on and thurl some abuse. Then caught him going through a red light.. I really hate everyone on...
Cheers dude! I try ;)
So this weekend.. its been cleaned again.. thats a given..!
Buuuut.. have tested and managed to fit the bike rack. Owned one for a while now and just not used it, but should hopefully be going dalby in a couple of weeks (plus the plan is to do more trails this year)...
Thanks guys :smile:
Just a quickie. Not much happening. Audio guys are very busy atm so car going back in to them has been delayed.
Had a very quick play with the spray/vinyl on my day off today. Vinyl wrap is deffo too dark but I think the spray when properly done will look spot on. Tested it...
Technically its not even a 1.2 🙈 1149cc...

Clio mk2 - Front by Simon Hubbert, on Flickr
Thanks guys.
Yeah I'm looking forward to when i finally get them sorted. Can then finally get it sitting right.
Boring update.
1. Replaced the back bulb that failed the MOT.
2. Removed the front license holder as wasn't happy with the 'bucktooth' effect going on. Pressed plate hasn't...
Mats in. Gonna regret putting them in early but too impatient.
New caps. Ignore the sexy drum :pensive:
Before people cry at the below..... :wink:.... don't worry it's only going to be used for long journeys/motorways. Bonnet is stone chipped to hell and the plan is for it to be resprayed...
Sun was out so did the rest of the trims/plastic/interior etc today. It's probably the cleanest it's ever been.
Will edit up a few pictures later but for now these will do >
Frozen beading.
Short motorway journey equals, perfect! >
Supar shiny!
Thanks guys!
Wheels have transformed the car. Loving it!
Tyres are incredible. So grippy/planted and feels so responsive now. Made a massive difference, plus with the new suspension bits, so good! 10x better than before.
Had half day at work so decided to do a big first stage clean today...
Mot done. £130 lighter.
2 new front ball joints - 1 excessive, 1 slight play
Direction indicator had less than 50% illuminated light source.
She did well!
Sneaky pic of new wheels. Also lowered more at the front now. Can't get the centre caps on though as not enough room for them without...
Cheers pal! Yeah, in the sport models I wouldn't but in this... weight isn't really an issue haha. I thought the sub would be heavier though, surprisingly not that bad.
Thanks man much appreciated. Glad to see people are liking it :)
Got a few new bits added to the collection.
Air impact...
Now have a breaker bar. Just need the socket bit to arrive now as I didn't have any 1/2 inchers in the collection. Hopefully try again this Saturday.
Got some shotgun shells to possssibly stick on the new wheels..
Saw this beauty Sunday morning at the mini garage in Hull. Guy soon came out...
Cheers fella! Yeah I can't wait to get them on.
Right. Pretty unproductive and frustrating day.
Good bit = De-bobbled the seats. Got up quite a bit of crap.
Bad bit = When fitting the coilovers, the garage have obviously decided that when tightening wheel nuts its best to tighten them up so you...
Oh hai...
Scuse terribad quality picture. They look amazing in the flesh.
Bronze Grid 15s.
Trial fitting this weekend (weather dependent).
Now on the hunt for locking wheel nuts + covers.
Boringg. Quick clean. Soon shines up. All the work detailing in the summer payed off!
Bought these the other month. Will fit them around March as these cost way too much to see mucky shoes!
Plans:
- Insurance next week D: Both cars coming to about £850. Will do a project thread of the...
Quick clean today. Scuse crappy iphone pics.
Looks and sounds great. Really happy with the recent progress, exhuast isn't loud, nice and subtle.
Probably the last update (bar some sport mats I've just ordered) for a while as need to save up again.
Coils fitted. Bit low on the back but will let it settle and see what happens. Cant raise it much at the back unfortunately due to the springs. Next Monday - bodyshop time. Busy busy!
Came back from the garage with the ignition coil fault. Apparently quite common.
4x new spark plugs and new coil fitted.
Blacked side repeaters fitted.
Coils arrived.
Big clean last weekend. Now completely filthy as driving over 200 miles this weekend visiting the folks.
Now for...
Good news - FK lights on.
Also fitted one LED reverse bulb, need to buy one more.
Bad news - Now off back to the garage asap as the engine is spluttering/engine light on and has a complete loss of power. Fingers crossed it's not a big issue :/
Long overdue update.
New battery now in.
Car recently had its service. Replaced the oil and fixed a cracked ABS ring as brakes were knocking. Also got them to fit the sport interior whilst in.

After -
Next was the second audio upgrade. Went back to the boys at Bass for 2...
I won't be selling bud, pretty much due to the fact when I do sell the car Ill probably put the old radio back in.
Not yet, I'm looking to get the 172 back bumper on and a few more bits colour coded June/July. It was around £110 for the side strips, front/back strips to be colour coded.
Audio done, now stating to bed it in so can't really comment on quality yet. It also sort of all died after 2 days of getting it fitted, well I say died, basically power was there but no sound. Went back to the guys at Bass and they found the amps going into protect mode as the battery has no...
Cheers, good point, forgot about the skirts!
Quick 2 hour clean yesterday.
The 2 French gals.
Fitted the front plate tonight. Decided that the front sport bumper wont be going on for a while, mainly due to money. Back bumper and colour code other bits first.
Domo!
Before pic of the...
Right... after lurking these forums for god knows how long thought it's time to post up.
Owned now just over a year. 1.2 Extreme (totally extreme) model. Was sitting on 54k. Now just under 60k. Really nice car so far, no major problems so far. Flew through MOT recently with only tracking to...
