Love it mate. For some reason when Mk3's are at the right angle the front end looks really long and I get SLR McLaren vibes (Don't ask?)
After a set of Projectors myself atm. Have got a drivers side, just need the passenger side now. HID kit eventually after that.
Thank you for the detailing today mate.. If anyone lives in the west midlands or close to Nuneaton I would recommend Tom any day!
My tatty old black paintwork is now free of cat scratches and swirls and looks and feels like glass!
Thanks again buddy!
I forgot to mention as I was driving home, especially down your street, I had a lot of people on the side walk looking at the car. Probably using it as a mirror haha!
Better example of the glass like paintwork.
I was about to explain the same but you summed it up!
You can buy the Pojector headlights James from the upper market mk3's. Personally I think they look miles better then the reflector headlights we have and once I've got my passenger side projector I'll be installing HID's too :)
Today I popped up to visit TomGarvie (check out his thread if you haven't already!) again in Nuneaton where he would show me how to do car washing/detailing with his new equipment and products. I got a little hands on myself but Tom did most of the hard work! :)
Thankfully it didn't rain...
They are amazing to sit in mate! Ask Tom lol. I'd advise anyone to get a hold of a set if you have the spare funds.
A bit to add to my thread Today. Couple of days ago I painted the rear drums from Red to Black. Looks much better now and less in your face Ricer/Tacky. Drums aren't really there...
My mobile hates this site. Would love a mobile friendly version. Commenting is terrible on my wp8.
That's defo something to think about Matt!
Seats are incredible Tom/Kieran! Good improvement over Dynamique seats but super improvement over my old basic spec ones.
Haha great idea Tom. Have...
Nice car mate, do you have custom springs on the rear as my ap coilovers don't go that low on the back? (I don't dare go any lower anyway. I've already lost my plastic tray under the engine somewhere. No idea how you manage lol.
Didn't think I would like your current alloys but they actually...
Cheers Matt. Likewise! Not a lot I can do to make it go faster so may as well just make it handle the best it can.
Your Clio is mint and there's so many things I would love from your car too haha. Projectors, keyless start etc etc :)
Managed to splice together the 15 or so wires together today under the seats. 4 of the wires under the drivers seat had the same bloody colour so I had to guess. As you would expect the last possible wire combination worked and turned the airbag and service warning light off... Success! :)
Big...
Oooo. More mk3 owners now on the scene. Brilliant. Do you have a project thread Matt??
Tom/Kieran. I finally tracked down a set of RS 197 front seats in a Norfolk scrappy yesterday. Picked them up and fitted them and I am in love with them! Check my thread :P
They also gave me the rears in...
Right so I haven't updated in a little while. I've fitted smd led bulbs in the interior light, side lights, boot and number plate lights. Last week I managed to track down a scrap yard and Renault specialist in Norwich that had a set of front RS 197 seats in stock. Drove 150 miles there today to...
I'd keep the wiper mate. The amount of crap my car picks up and flips onto the back now it's low and spaced on the rear is silly. Was contemplating the OEM mk3 mud guards (the discreet ones) you could choose as a option but I can't find them anywhere lol.
Sounds good. Same with the detailing. I would like to get into it when the summer comes around. All I really want at the moment is a front set of 197 seats and then I'm happy and the rest will come in good time.
Cool stickers. Wonder if there is any for the west midlands group... West side is da best!! haha ;)
Do you have a list of cleaning products for the car? I'm interested in learning to do it all myself eventually. Most likely after I get a wheel refurb. I'll be rolling around on mk1 scenic...
Sorry for the late reply mate.
I don't know it came like that. I think it might have been a leather steering wheel option that the previous owner ticked.
I'll sell it you first if I ever buy a RS wheel haha :)
Definitely going to get some projector headlights with the black inserts in the future. There is a picture of my 20mm rear spacers fitted on the first page.
My turni's are ET 38.5 and the standard non sport mk3 alloys are ET 50. If you don't understand ET it basically means my Turini's stick...
Right so today I went and collected my RS 197 rear seats that I won on ebay. Bought them from Jake_197 off of Clio197.net. Bought his 3 roof handles off him while I was there so I now have some for the back :)
Really nice guy but unfortunately he's not a member on Cliosport..
Anyhow I...
Kieran I will check how many coils I have left for you today :)
Craigie, I live in Canley, literally right next to you haha.
That's a good idea NKTA and welcome to the site! :) I have 2 coats of Lacquer on it already and once thats fully set I'll give it a polish..
Thanks CLIODARIUS.
Thanks. At first the Turni's look lost in the arch but like you said once lowered it pulls it off really well. I'll probably paint the drums black when I next have a car jack on hand.
Haha I would like it lower but it kinda becomes impractical and crashy. A coke can would be crushed if I drove...
No worries.. They are definitely worth it and there is always the resale value of them if you go to sell the car. Someone is always after a set.
Haha smart man. Make the gf happy first then buy parts for your car ;)
You should definitely do it at some point. I feel we need more MK3 content on...
