Braved the cold and the rain and gave her a clean today. Cracked out the digi camera to try and get some slightly better shots this time. Not much of a detail, but will do for now :)

Yeah it's literally about 12 screws, 3 in the windscreen vents, 3 above the glovebox, 2 under the steering cowling, 1 to the right of that, 1 each side in the door shuts ish, and then some persuasion :) And because dude my headunit has so much wiring, I need a hand in from above to feed it down...

Very little to report again, I'm literally running the car on pennies at the minute. Student wages plus Christmas really don't mix! But I'm hoping things will pick up in the new year ;) I managed to get my bloody stereo to sit further back where it should do. Involved removing the top dash...

Not worth doing. For the time and expense you're better off selling the 1.2 and buying a diesel.

Problem I have with mine is that it doesn't allow it to sit flush, the wiring for the buttons above the headunit, get in the way. So when I push the headunit back, it pushes the wiring back and disconnects the plugs. Might be the same for you. Not sure if there's a way around this without...

Had to keep it down since the neighbours are all OAPs. Has a nice tone :)

Here we go chaps, sorry for the delay. Struggled to find the time to do it, life's gotten a bit hectic lately. With the sagging issue, I've just replaced the rear mount with an OEM replacement and it's all good, so that's solved. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xz43b60CvM

I will admit I love the overrun noise haha, but I've been trying to be good! ;) Just seems I'm constantly chucking petrol in but that might be because I'm used to using a moped which took £3 to go 90 miles! Also the short journeys to work and college won't do it much good. Cheers chaps :)

This has probably been covered before or is a bit of an obvious answer, but I'm a bit confused right now. About 2-3 weeks ago I fitted a sportex cat back to my 1.2, and my MPG on the readout has been a steady 39.5 ish MPG. Before I fitted the sportex and had the standard system on, I was...

Ah I bought mine on 34k and it's now on 37! Cheers dude! Lots of plans but no money, which is always the problem haha

Does look like it but from the side on profile, it sits flush with the bumper. And it's awesome dude, found out that I've done more miles in 2 months with it, than it did between 2010 and 2011 :P

I'll probably look into that powerflex trick when I've got some spare moola, but at the minute I'm pinching every penny for Christmas haha. Student wages don't go far on car running costs + girlfriend + Christmas presents! Although I will probably do it at some point. Have had a fiddle and a...

Looks like I need to replace the rear mount and have a reposition then! Any suggestions on any specific ones to get or just an OEM replacement? Video will be soon my boy;) total cost including delivery and some new clamps was about £58 ish

Here you go dudeeeeeee. Get ready for the piss poor iPhone shots ;) It's also sagging near the cat too, not sure why...

Put a brand new middle rubber hanger on for it dude, backbox hanger seems a bit worn but sufficient. I'll grab some pics after work;)

Fitted my sportex yesterday, everything's all tight and fitted properly but the back box sags on the right. Anything I can do to sort it?

Got a couple of things done recently. Tinted the fogs last night in a moment of boredom, didn't come out too badly! And done! Also my Sportex system turned up this morning, so I'll probably chuck that on either tomorrow night or sometime at the weekend.

Just for the sake of this progress blog, this is how the car looked 6 months ago, and now how I want to return it to...

What's your instagram dude?

You got any pictures of it with those on?

Yeah that's another thing that's putting me off! Yeah still rolling on the standards, saw you had gloss black 182's on it at one stage?

Nothing much to be honest. Got the bra to go on, still a bit undecided. Got a sportex centre and backbox on its way to me. That's all funds are going to allow right now as my wages are low at the minute!

Aye it's only a used one, but still not a bad price! Cheers :) Haha well what are the chances of that! She's good mate, running sweet as a nut :)

Not yet dude, told I'm supposed to let it lay flat for 24 hours to let the creases disappear. Will pop it on tomorrow before college and grab a picture :) pleased with the exhaust bits though, £50 delivered instead of £140 new!

Have to admit I did a terrible thing... I bought a bonnet bra! But having seen a pearl black 1.2 on white turinis and a bonnet bra, couldn't say no! Also ordered a sportex centre section and backbox which should be here sometime this week!

And me!

Ah I found this far too late haha. Would be good to meet some local members

Indeed mate!:) about 110 miles today and yesterday!

Passed my test yesterday morning! Taken me just over a month to pass my test, from turning 17! :D

Not sure what mods to do to my wee 1.2 next. ICE is pretty much sorted but apart from that everything is standard. There's a shittonne of Clio's in my area too so wanna do something to make it stand out. Will probably just start with wind deflectors since I find them useful, but want to do...
