If you're on a budget then buying secong hand off her is probably the best way. A set brand new range from £200 (mickey mouse off ebay) - £1000 (leda or similar). Lots of people on her regard Ph1 172 suspension as pretty good as standard though!

Oh, by the way. To diagnose a head gasket, the engine will mix the coolant and oil. This will make the oil coffee coloured. Check under the oil filler cap, you'll be able to see. The engine could also feel under-powered and may well make a "clicking" or "puffing" noise....

If the head gasket goes, the engine oil and coolant/water mix. The engine will still run, but will overheat. Make sure you don't run it for too long or let the engine get too hot, because the head may warp. If you take it to Renault, it'll be a fair few pennies to fix. The part itself is no...

Taking your time is also key. If you try and rush it there is far more chance of something going wrong. Also, most prople will suggest that you leave the wheels to properly dry before you put them back on the car.

Gorgeous.

Bit too much. Less is definitely more in LY's case.

Jesus. ^

Yep. This one was filthy. Travesty.

Looked to be standard. Number plate was L3 W** I think...

As above. Anyone?

Car looks a beaut as it is... No harm in looking though...

Nasty stuff.

Best flamer there is, soon to be made better.

Looks good. As for the tyre stuff, I either use AG tyre dressing or the Megs one. My preference normally falls in the way of the Megs.

Just caught a quick glimpse as you flashed past on Minley Road. Awesome, to say the least. Anyone off here?

How many nice cars in your road?! 182, Vee, Meg 225, 172, Z3 and MkV Gti. Very nice.

If I had a car worth nicking, my keys wouldn't be hidden. If they're that intent on nicking you car, who knows what they'll do. Cars are easily replaced, and there are some fecking nutters about. Gutting though. Hope it gets recovered safe and sound....

With adequate sanding and primer I see no reason why the paint wouldn't stick.

Lol. Orange...

Wtf?! Most days at work, I have full signal in the office. Occasionally, it just goes for a day. No real reasoning behind it. Now, being that the building never changes; What sort of variables will affect it? Weather? :S

C'est horrible!

Gorgeous before and after!

Sold mine this week to a family member for £3.2k. '05 plate. 39k miles.

Feckers. I'll keep my eyes peeled whilst out and about.

Depends on how bad the swirls are. For example, an old red car with faded red paint, a more abrasive compound would be more suitable. Yet, a newer paint won't have as much work to do to bring it to it's best, and srp would be perfectly adequate.

I would have thought so.

Just try a general clean up. If not there are plenty of people on here who are breaking mark ones. I'm sure they wouldn't want much for a new one.

You're taking advice from someone on Corsa C?! ;) Seriously though, 16" would look better with a subtle drop, IMO. The momo wheels just look a bit halfords... a bit chavvy.

Lolz @ pimping your clio. Jay-Z and P Diddy are after it for their next videos, IIRC. As for the beading, get a coat of polish and a couple of coats of wax; It'll bead up a treat.
