The jack holding the Clio up is a Jag item so more than man enough :D The trolley jack was used to lift the wheel up in the arch a bit

Cheers, and apologies :o

The locking wheel nut came through the post yesterday (Thanks Christopher :D) so i thought i'd trial fit the OZ Racing wheels 1: To make sure the centre bores were ok (were machined out from VW 57mm) 2: Make sure they clear the GAZ front strut 3: See if the Graphite Grey suited the RB They...

Today's the first proper day having a look round the 182 since buying. It might be right but i thought i'd check but the Coolant Temp Sensor plug has 2 wires and what looks like a 3rd (green) but seems like it's been cut off... Is this right? I couldn't see a green wire further back on the loom...

That satin grey looks awesome :) shame you have to sell

Renault Wolverhampton listed on E Bay, they have quite a few parts for sale. While browsing i came across these, £26.56 plus £3.60 postage. Considering NGK for 182s are £10+ each i didnt think these were a bad price for genuine plugs...... Just thought i'd post em up...

I kind of see where you're coming from, maybe if i put white O.Z Racing decals on them they would look better? I'm still undecided on grey or white for wheel colour. When i took the decals off i did actually think it changed the look of the wheel and lost some of their identity, the flip side i...

You can tow on the motorway, i'm the 1 who's had probems with a recovery company. I hired a trailer on a full weekend for £70, day rate is about £50. If you have something that can tow then it's a mornings work getting it to Budgie, i can recommend a trailer hire company i've used twice and...

Was behind an 05 Racing Blue 182 about half past 8 this morning, it turned off Noak Hill Rd into Laindon common road going through Little Burstead. Looked like a nice std example

Cheers, there's things to do and arrange in the next week or 2. I should have a thread started after that.

Yes, rattle cans from Halfords :D The bus is on the driveway awaiting some TLC, can't wait to get it sorted and out on the road :cool:

Another decision to make, was thinking if i did to maybe fit red or white decals.

No dramas :D

Cheers, yes we did.... 500 miles, 13 hours :D I'd love to fit them but the locking wheel nut isn't in the jack bag lol

I've had these knocking about the store room for 6 weeks, as the weather was good today i decided to do a bit of work on them to have them ready for colour. TBH i'm still undecided on whether to do them in the Graphite Grey or just Gloss White, but to see what they'd look like in the grey i...

Re: A few new additions to Trophy 147/500 Perfect

The beauty of Shiply is having companies based fairly close to the car, 1 company comes down to Essex twice a week. Dan, i did notice the fee next to the qoute, it makes sense to stay within Shiply.

I guess i'm after a little reassurance really. I'm looking at having a Clio delivered to me and have had qoutes from recovery companies on Shiply.com Has anyone used them? What's the deal once you accept a bid? A couple of companies have sent me messages asking when to pick up etc, Shiply...

The brackets are cheap enough from Renault, i ended up buying new M6 threaded dome headed bolts to go with them from a nut/bolt fastener company for about 10p each

Offside

Everyones different :D I think i'm entitled to be a little picky, agreed i'm not a fan of car hunting either. The last time i bought the first car i went to seeit ended up being a disaster..... I'm trying not to do it again. Anyway, i just wanted to put it out there about this RB

I DO ask the questions but some people like you to get there then to find out for yourself. I spoke to somene 2 days ago about a BG 182, telling me about all the good things about it, i said "Look i'm about to do a 200 mile round trip to view this Clio , i have cash and WILL take this away, i...

The dealer for that RB jacked me off too but that's another story

Over the last 4 weeks i've viewed 6 Clios. Spent £75 in petrol and done 400 miles.... Nothing What jacks me off is when you drive 100 miles to view a car, only for them to start telling you stuff like (Oh it crunches in 3rd!) WTF

I looked at 2 Clio 182 cups today this being the 2nd 1, the 1st needed some TLC Chip in the windscreen, cigarette burn mark on drivers seat, seats a little dirty, couple of scratches, scuffed wheels, dephaser sounded a little noisy.... Asking £3200 It's a fair chunk of cash to potentially hand...

I went to look at this Clio 182 cup today, the advert to me comes across as a half decent car and looked after. Lady owner, after speaking to her last night we agreed a time to view. Within 30 seconds i spotted that most of the rear quarter had been repaired and painted, also what looked like a...

What a story, so sorry to hear of your problems. I'm in the market to buy a Clio and really worried about buying 1 regardless of FSH, cambelt done etc etc... You just never know. I hope there's some light at the end of the tunnel

Photos are brilliant and the Clio looks spot on. What suspension do you have?

Nice looking std 5, i've had 4-5 of them already. Love em and wouldn't mind another but hard to justify it as a daily!

Welcome to the club Matt! 2 of my old Clios in the club... None on my driveway :D
