I've had one of these for the last 4 ish years. Been an absolute god send!

'Black wax' is a firm favourite with my car dealer customers, it hides a multitude of sins...
I personally hate it as yes it hides chips, but it's like sand and scratches s**t out of the paint.
Like this;
If the car is a mid blue (Cup blue for example) colour or darker then something...
You rang.....?
Whilst I'd absolutely love to go to it, I've never been before, but my wife will have had a very recent c-section so I'd imagine I'll be needed at home.
Why did you decide to clean the boot shut after you'd polished the car you lunatic?? :S
Great write up though, the colour looks amazing!
Can I assume cliosport.net has lost Chi now? Is he off to an MPS Forum seeing as he's now got a his n hers??
My mate has a. 1.2 clio, 2002 16v thing.
Every now and again as he changes into second gear, the revs rise to 4000rpm. As soon as he changes gear or switches off, it's fine for ages. Then out of the blue, it will do it again.
Anyone had this before?
Make sure you have a mate/slave helping you when re fitting it. I know how anal you are about paintwork and the bumpers scratch the wings very easily if you try and refit it on your own.
The yellowness seems to be inside mate. I did them twice and it made no difference. :(
I'm using Auto Finesse sealant at the minute. Seems to be pretty good tbh.
I have to disagree. I've yet to see a set done by hand that don't look crap. Either that or they weren't bad enough to warrant a heavy sand and then machine polish.
Masking tape all around the headlight.
800 or 1200 wet and dry paper and keep going and going and going until the whole face of the light is smooth and not patchy.
Get some Cutting compound (heavy polish) on a machine polisher and use plenty of water as the plastic gets mega hot. If you burn...
That's a £5-6k car if whoever restores it does it properly.
The downside is, I expect it will sell for £2500+ leaving little to no room for profit if you're intending on punting it on. If you were planning on buying it to keep, you can buy a reasonably tidy one for £3500.
I bet the wheel...
What would I get for these mods? I'm not usually into mods so i'm a bit unsure/out of touch with second hand values??
I'm jacked off with idiots on ebay so I think i'm going to break it.
Wheels/tyres, exhaust and decat, coilovers, HID's, 172 rear beam with discs and pads, ph2 172 front and...
Proper hard sellers they are!
2.0 non sport means that;
25 year olds would rather have a 197/200.
Old people want fuel economy
and young people can't insure them.
All I can say is, good luck! Lol.
Authentique (base model, avoid!)
Dynamique
I don't think they went any higher than that in a 1.2.
They did some Ltd edition ones too; RipCurl amongst others.
