Would be new steering wheel / get the whole thing retrimmed and leathered over, or buying some carbon fibre items to stick on

Smoothed washer jets - Would end up cut into the scuttle, looking wrong, out of place, and performing poorly for use
Smoothed number plate recess - The number plate would end up in the windscreen or the bottom grill and look tacky for daily use
Smoothed aerial - Not a bad idea but you would...
Re: The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy [& Fred's V6]
Thanks Richardos
I feel this has turned into a chat room thread lol..
I will ask around a few painters however so far they have looked at me with a blank face and asked what make the car is !
I'll be honest, I thought the Trophy must of been a garage/track project or perhaps a car you had years ago and kept the same thread for the V6, not it was your courtesy car !
Things like this are always a learning curve I guess, but hopefully after BTM it won't need anything !
I would love to...
I was up till midnight reading this thread.. I got to page 40!
Tonight I have finished it..
I think you are crazy, and should of chucked another low mileage engine in, however knowing your luck it would of ended in tears again, so you have done an amazing job!
Seeing the photos of your brand...
Hose joiner is a 5 second job.. cheaper than buying filters/catch cans/additional hoses IMO
Just all seems a bit pikey and trying to save pennys when another £40 or so could get you a samco that would save all the hassle over an oil breather pipe problem
That doesn't sound bad at all tbh.. I have had my Clio little under 5-6 months and must of spent near on a couple of grand my now... I thought when I saw someone right this about there Clio they were joking but I can believe it now... and ive done all of it myself bar the cambelt change work...
For the hassle.. just buy a proper hose, or buy a hose joiner where you drill a hole in the hose itself and insert the nipple and use a nut to secure it on the inside
My rear washer pipe was crushed under the spoiler, when you used the rear, the front would squirt, I assumed as the rear was blocked. Renewed it and works now...
However using the front washers or rear... THEY ALL SQUIRT REGARDLESS
My old horn used to sound like a dying walrus
I replaced it but the connection was also bad and caused intermittency so renewed that and its been peach ever since
So she made it worse by cleaning scratches into it, reversed into things and broke the bumper, refers to it as "that f**king car" when you want to work on it..
She is trying to trick you into getting of it IMO and buying a sensible people carrier or diesel estate of some kind
Does she drive...
I once went to take off a wheel on the misses 225 using the boot wheel nut bar.. It bent and folded like it was made out of plastic on the first bolt which was a locking wheel nut ... :S
Went and fetched my average wheel brace and came loose easy as you would expect, which now lives in the...
Thanks Dan, however that would have to be a last resort I think, would end up setting me back £100 with fuel etc on top of the config :(
Will have to explore further tomorrow and check some obvious bits then probably accept it needs a new module or something lol
Since I've had it, but the seats had been swapped around a few times when I fished the history..
Today swapped my Phase 1 RS Seats onto Phase 2 DCi bases (without airbags and easily access to the rear seats with the higher lift forward handle), now matchs the Cup wiring (non airbag), wired up...
:cheers: Thanks banther, still have lots to do to it :)
Renault Glacier White repaint dude, everything, complete shell repaint, underneath, engine, arches, floors etc, I will happily prove that upon request lol
