Your welcome.
Oh yeah, i totally get that. The interior is personal, but the engine will always look better with paint.
Have a look a my thread if you get time as ive recently painted my engine parts the same colour as my dash strips and clock bezel. You can get a better idea of the colour...
Haha, ive just done the exact same!
No not really. Its a dash top removal job. There is a guide on here. Then you unplug the 2 clock plugs, t10 torx for the back screws, unclip the screen and then use a small flat screwdriver to prize off the surround around the edges.
Scuff, primer, paint...
So as the new clocks were here, i decided to stay afterwork to paint them.
Bezel removed, rubbed down, etched, painted and lacquered. It did come out a bit peely but i left it over night to fully harden before i wet and dried it.

Top mounts are here so hopefull have a day on the suspension parts tomorrow as i have to work Saturday. Clocks from @cs_dave turned up also so i'll be spraying them soon too. May even start tonight.
Yeah, my missus bought that for me when i had the ph1 :smile: Ive had in my cars since :smile:

I changed my ball joints on my 182 recently and needed/fitted12mm. I believe its non sports that are 10mm.
I got mine from GSF.
Fai are a fine brand. You cant buy ball joints from renault separately, they come fitted to the lower arms.
Dash strips have been sprayed. These are done in the same colour i've done my engine parts in, which is Peugeot Graphite Grey. They've come out really well, i'm very happy. They also need flatting back a tad but it'll be very fine as they look good as they are.
Its hard to capture the...
After leaving work one evening, the sunset was out and i thought it would make a decent few shots so i snapped away
I bought some LED bulbs for the boot and glovebox
Decided to remove the back paint off the spacers as it was chipping in places
My glove compartment has been...
