Not yet, I'm worried it'll look too high. I should have more time next weekend so I may get them on. I need to get them on as the Turinis need refurbishing badly but yet again the tyres are OK so want to use them up before I remove them.

No need to apologise. If I'm not happy with the finish on either the dash or fuel rail guard its not the end of the world, I'll simply re-do. As said I'm not totally sold on the matt black dash inserts but they are painted too well, I'll stick with them for this summer at least, I think silver...

So today I had a few hours spare so I continued my tidying up of the ending bay. I had some paint in the garage so thought I'd give it a go: After giving the fuel rail guard a clean: Also cleaned and sanded back the engine hoist bracket (I assume this is what it is) I run out of...

Some small updates. Firstly I purchased a new dogbone mount from FB which already had powerflex bushes fitted. I've not yet fitted as I run out of daylight at the weekend so I'll do this in a few weeks time time: I then wanted to make the engine bay a little impressive, the engine bay was...

A great read yet again.

Thanks for confirming the paint. I really like the colour tbh and its looks like you've done a good job.

Thanks, I personally love the flat/matt finish.

Great read. Do you mind me asking where you got the paint for your inlet from, it looks like a lovely colour and I would love to copy!!!

Have you purchased a set of the VR2's before Graham? and if so do you mind stating what outlet you used? Thanks.

As stated before a great read and I look forward to future up-dates.

Great opening post. I look forward to reading about the events moving forward. Tom

Great work. Scrubs up well.

I TBH thought you were ahead of me! Funnily enough last weekend, when I went to collect the wheels, my lights behind the heater controls started working again. I was pleased I didn't need to take the heater unit out again as it was a bit of a pain however it wasn't as bad as I was expecting...

Great progress. You seem to have the same idea as me with the 182. Good luck moving forward.

Great updates as always!

For some reason I don't seem to get notification on my own thread! :rage: Thanks. I agree having had a look around I also think it will be a little OTT if I paint the dash inserts in RB. Still not sure weather or not to go silver or a grey. IIRC I had a set of wheels painted in Peugeot...

So its been a busy weekend. I picked up a set of 2118's from @Duck Hunt yesterday (top bloke). As he had work Saturday I left Essex at 4.30am to get to him before 8.30. I arrived around 7.30 and was home again by 10.30am, which included a quick stop for Breakfast on route home. It also gave...

Sorry for the late reply, for some reason I get get notified. The bolts where just shy of £40 delivered, however I think I got them at an older price, I think they want an additional £4-5. If you email them they may do them a few £'s cheaper. If you don't ask you don't get!

I've contacted my local Kwik Fit to see what they will do, but I wont hold my breath.

I saw someone on FB the other day get a set of 195/50/15's for £40 per corner from Kwik Fit.

I think i've got it sorted! I think it was a connections, the lower green connection. I'll double check it for a final time tonight before putting it all back together!

I've successfully changed over the heater control panel on my Clio 182 Cup however I can't get it to light up. I've checked all fuses and all appear fine. I'm about to change the bulbs to see if that is the issue but after this I'm all out of ideas! Any help would be great. Thank. Tom

So I've got the new unit in place and all working, however I can't get it to light up again :rage: I've also noticed that I'm unable to get either the aircon or recirculation light working. TBH I don't know if these were working before. I've checked the fuses and all appear fine. I'm just...

Thanks again. TBH I didn't buy any locking wheel nuts, the car will only be used for track days and when not in use should be in the garage, I have a set of locking wheels nuts for when I do venture afar!

A small update. After a long wait TPI received stock of the polarised wheel bolts. I wont fit these until I get my wheels refurbished but I can't wait: I then gave the car a quick wash this morning as it hadn't been touched since the day it broke down, so was filthy: This afternoon...

Sorry, only just noticed you replied to my thread. They are Sparco Gamma KB-4 Kart Boots Black. I got them form Demon Tweeks and cost around £75 delivered. I've only wore they around the house so far, however they are very comfortable. I'm in Billericay BTW. Thanks for the offer I've recently...

So the Clio has had an eventful couple of weeks! Firstly a fitting me personalised numberplate, the new plates make the car look newer IMO: Rear after much cleaning. Fitted: I've since lowered the number plate as i felt it was sitting a tad to high. I had arrange to meet a few friends on...

With the winter set in full swing and the thought of working on the car in the cold, I have spoken to Engine Dynamics and arranged from them to complete a few jobs, namely the following: Fit front Brembo HC disc Fit CL RC5+ pads Fit new rear dics & pads Fit braided hoses Fit new stainless steel...

I don't think I'll be able to make this one unfortunately.

I'll try and pop along to this, may only be a quick visit as I have a million things to do this weekend.
