    What have you done to your car today ???

    cheers. Wheel was £80 and knob was £25. Boss came with the car so saved £50. I do have a cheap mountney corsa d shape wheel for sale I interested! £20. Bought as a toe in the water before getting the omp. Its a bit flexy but miles better than a standard melty wheel.

    Black Badges

    painted mine. Front diamond must pops off with gentle prising. There rear one requires the boot handle to come off to do it properly but its only 3 x10 mm nuts to undo and unhook the boot release.

    Newbie to RS Clio 172 cup- advice on car

    Blimey that sounds dog rough. Belts and de phaser time I think. There's better examples out there ready to drive away I'm sure. £800 is cheap but add another couple of hundred and you'll find one in much better nick I reckon.

    Coil Pack going? - Flashing ECU light, hesitant, sounds like 3 cylinders, high idle revs

    sounds like a problem I had. The easiest way to check is to remove one ht lead at a time with the engine running. You'll see the spark bridge the gap. If their is a spark missing then its the coil pack.

    Clio 172 cup or 182...will it work?

    I use my cup as a daily. 14 miles each way 3 or 4 times a week. Makes driving to work fun, especially at 5am when the roads are nice and quiet. As with any car irrelevant of brand you get good ones and bad ones. At least a Clio is fairly cheap to fix compared to most brands. Should be able...

    Jordan Racing Blue 182 Sport

    Yeah it goes on like water. I used humbrol enamel paint. Just to warn you. You can enamel over cellulose car paints but not usually the other way round. The enamel sometimes reacts and bubbles when sprayed over. If you ever spray over it you'd probably have to sand it back first.

    Jordan Racing Blue 182 Sport

    I used a fine modelling brush. Took my time. 6 light coats to build it up. Light heat gun between coats to speed up the drying time. If I over painted I just wiped it off straight away. When it was fully dried I just sprayed some of the manifold colour in a small pot for any touch ups around the...

    Jordan Racing Blue 182 Sport

    Found it on here. It was a naff carbon effect so just painted it mondial blue, then masked the lettering before satin blacking it with a rattle can. Had a spare Cliosport decal to finish it off.

    Hello - new Clio 172 Cup owner

    Welcome. This forum is brilliant. Is it mondial blue or a rare iceberg silver? Might see you around as your fairly local:wink:

    Jordan Racing Blue 182 Sport

    should be ok. My inlet is just halfrauds silver for some rover. Just picked a colour I liked. Yellow on black would look awesome.

    Jordan Racing Blue 182 Sport

    sorry for the slow reply. I just painted by hand using some humbrol enamal paint I had left from my Tamiya kit making days. Its camel yellow if your old enough to remember Nigel mansells Williams fw14b f1 car circa 1992. I had a huge model I made years ago. It did need 6 coats though!!
