No danger with me then Jon. I think i've only pushed the limiter once on my BG and that was accidental 😂

I can't get 99 on my fuel card, so I either mix it, or take off the road.

I've been mixing half 95 and half 99 all last week. Not noticed any change in MPG or performance.

The market is nuts. I bought my RB last year for £5,400. Began restoring it and during the build a genuine buyer following the progress offered me £7,500. It’s not for sale though. 2 months on the buyer still hadn’t found one he liked so increased his offer to £9,000. I was so tempted but I...

Lovely colour when the sun’s shining ☀️ Are you using it as a daily or keeping the mileage down?

I ordered some injectors off them years ago. Took nearly a month. First and last thing i've ever ordered off them. ADDED - would you not be able to get a deal out of your local dealership - with you being in the trade? I can get up to 25% off stuff but generally no less than 10% which makes...

I wouldn’t even mention it, paintwork is either good or it’s not. My RB resto is going in for corrective work which was done in a ‘spray booth’. You’d think that was done in the Gobi desert with Halfords spray cans. It has more runs than Mo Farah.

Maybe put Sport and 182 in the title and correct the engine size too, as it indicates it’s a 1.0 litre. I stumbled across it looking for bits and pieces. So might help get more views. Looks a nice car 👍

There's another one advertised on Facebook Marketplace strangely only advertised as a 2004 Renault Clio - link here 👉 Petrol Blue 182

Just a lovely project build. Proper commitment. I'm sure many Clio Sports owners will be thinking they wished they had the skills or facilities to do this, but it's definitely doable on a driveway if it's done in sections. Sadly we're going to see a lot of these cars taken off the road in...

Owned my BG Clio Sports (2 up until a few weeks ago) for 5 years and counting..... For me that's outstanding as i'm normally swapping after 3 months.

I’ve got a lovely restored BG you can have for say…..8,650?🤑😂 Gutted for you but if they pay out that’s one hell of a result. At least you’re more knowledgeable about Clio’s now and have an idea what to look for. Providing you go for another one of course.

They’ve been going for daft money at the start of this year. Seen them sell anywhere between 3 to 5.5k. A lad on here paid the latter for one recently (and it turned out to be a turd). I think prices in general are cooling a little but if I were to hazard a guess I’d go for 4K and see what...

You’re a Pro now 👏

New rewebbed belts were doing my head in so set about trying to clean my old ones. It’s not that I don’t like the quality of the new ones, it’s just that they remind me of Rylan Clark’s teeth 😂 they’re that white. Bought some Vanish, filled a large bucket with hot water and soaked them for a...

Aye. A lad who I know had a BG and did a Trackday at Croft. Backend collapsed as the springs went through the chassis legs due to rot.

You won’t see that rear panel anyway. Glad I did mine when I did and got it out of the way. Horrible job. Yours doesn’t look too bad at all.

Yeah and add in 17 years of sunlight. I dare say the colour’s probably not a million miles off from when it was new.

A bit of love hate going on with the belts. Originals aren’t too bad so I’m going to soak those and see if they clean up. I suppose they match the piping on my car mats 😂

I have written to their head office and sent video evidence, proof of recovery etc. I’ll let them decide what to do. The manager’s a proper clever arse. I wouldn’t care he asked why i didn’t do the swap where I work and I explained the service manager was too scared to damage my newly refurbed...

Small updates today. Firstly the paintwork isn’t happening for a few months now due to our bodyshop having too much on. Belts arrived back from Kolour Koncept. Only took a week from sending off to getting back. They’re not great at replying to Facebook messages but I can’t fault the workmanship...

This is all you need. https://www.toolstation.com/led-ip65-flexible-strip-light/p43662 Just remove old led's, diodes, capacitors from circuit board, then stick this part on top of that. Use a block connector (halfords) to connect the wires and that's it. Fixed all mine that way, spot on.

I agree 4k all day long as it looks unmolested, not many aren't these days. Probably won't appeal to a lot of buyers on marketplace etc...who want ow't for now't, lowered springs, seats out (twack/road car) and would probably ruin it anyway. But there's definately a buyer out there (possibly on...

Just ban the Welsh from driving. Job done!

A few pictures i took last night as i was leaving work. I think i'm quite settled with the alloys now and looking forward to getting on with the next part of the project. My mate saw the car yesterday and asked why i hadn't been to work in it sooner. He spends most of his time on Mars, but it...

I took the easy route though and just bought the rear stainless steel braiding kit from proline

I used to do this when I left school working for Fleet Factors. It’s surprisingly easy to do as long as you have a vice, pipe, fittings and swaging kit. There’s a video on car building solutions which explains the process. You’ll also need to shape the pipe and there’s a tool for that as well.

Positively salivating over that heat shield 🤤 Awesome work!

Very true!

I tend to limit the amount of copper slip where I can because there’s lots of evidence that copper based anti-seize compounds can cause galvanic (bimetallic) corrosion, particularly involving stainless steel or galvanised fasteners. Basically it dries out exposing it to water, which in turn aids...
