Quickly took the headlight covers off today, they were glued on with sealant of some sort, took some persuasion to get them off.
Will need to start on restoring them tomorrow, heat gun to get the sealant off and start sanding/polishing them up!
Taken me until now to really to sort the...
Sweet! Will give it a go when I get chance.
These dark nights are so annoying, never get chance to do anything.
Just picked up some F1's, will get them painted up and on the car asap.
Got it back :smile:
Few niggles, every time brake lights/indicators come on, my fog light light on the clocks comes on haha. Fogs themselves don't, just the symbol in the clocks.
Will look at the bulb trays in the rear lights tomorrow, probably something shorting out/corroded I expect.
Also...
NO don't do it!
PH1 stuff only. as a few have said before, theres only a couple of acceptable ph2 items
Wouldn't want any more than that has tbh, 30 would be way too much
20 is about right imo, It's what I'm going for.
No they did, but I'd already left before anyone knew there was an issue.
Got there and was told it'd be a little wait, which I was fine with, then they realised the 2nd alternator was wrong also.
I shouldn't have gambled with going before it was 100% sorted. However if it wasn't for euro...
So, today I went to collect the Clio, today I returned on the same train that took me 😂
Alternator issues, I knew it was at the garage but they had assured the dealer it'd be done before the afternoon. Thanks to Euro car parts sending 2 wrong alternators and not being able to get the...
Going to have to get to grips with paint correction to get it that mint, will invest in decent cleaning/polishing equipment for sure.
Really looking forward to spending too much time and money on it 😂
Looked around at prices and whatnot, really cant afford it all in the period I have before belts need doing.
As much as I'd love to, think it will have to wait. Stag weekend to pay for as well as other things :coldsweat:
@Pearce that's so clean! Shame about all the ph2 stuff on it :wink: Does...
haha, I can see where this is going already 😂
Could I smash cams in now without getting a remap? So at least cams are in ready for ITB's etc? or will it run shitty without remap?
What cams are best for road use? Where do you guys recommend going for the work?
And @Chi what haven't...
Then I might aswell get ITB's too.... 😂 Also the story of my life, its how the polo tended to go lol!
But no, I shall resist for now, that can all come later on.
Possibly diamond for the belts, not too far from me and are forum sponsors so seems only right. Everything will get done...
Cheers @PP172
Yeah, if I remove either I'll be keeping them stored in the garage. Think I'd be stupid to get rid of any of it.
Cant help but look at those wheels and think they look like halfords specials haha.
The OZ's suit the car so much more, unsure on a colour for them yet. Silver or a...
They found out a problem with the alternator so had to put off collecting. Going tomorrow now.
And yeah, I found your thread earlier. Have shown it to Jon :up:
After making the difficult decision to part with my polo (of 7 years) I decided a Clio sport was the direction I'd be taking.
At 1st I wasn't sure weather I wanted a Ph1 or a Ph2, but thanks to @Phase1sr build thread, it was clear a Ph1 was the ONLY way to go.
I was won over by titanium...
@dmallett Your car is one of the reasons I'm now here and collecting a Ph1 tomorrow haha!
Friends with the previous owner, maybe who you bought it off? Jon Shilling?
Nice to see it kicking about on here anyway, looking good still :)
The clio is my 'next' car
However after the clio.... hopefully a Porsche!
Not sure on which, i need to save (lots) for a 912 or something of the same era.
An actual exclusive.
Love the colour, just cant say the same about the interior and wheels. Luckily that's easily fixed.
I'm already shopping for interior and wheels, not bought it yet :smile:
haha, I can't take that seriously. sorry
Original colour and wheels are standard as on a G40. I've been into polos for many years, I know its worth what it's up for :)
I could sell the engine and suspension setup for more than a grand alone ;)
Thanks tho :up:
That's what it's all about man!
Think I'd rather something that's not too mint, id be too scared of driving it otherwise haha.
Ebay link to the polo... can actually see the add on there unlike clubpolo.

Decent! Defo gonna consider that, looking to be an expensive year, 2015 haha.
Just realised too, I was looking at your ph1 thread when I 1st came on here, also an inspiration :hearteyes:
Yeah I've realised that. ££££'s spent only to see like a 20bhp increase, forget that lol.
Induction and exhaust/de-cat are my only plans tbf.
I've seen people fit a 182 4 branch, worthwhile or?
