Whilst I agree with the chipping comments, and I'd not usually paint anything on a car unless its a last resort, the front grills on 172/182s goes blue instead of the usual faded black. All you do with any form of restorer is make it shiny blue instead of mat blue. IME.

I took mine off on the weekend. Washed it down with hot fairy liquid and water, left overnight to dry properly, painted with a can of satin black... Looks brand new!

Make the car as standard as possible. Modifications appeal to about 10% of buyers, whereas the other 90% of buyers will be put off.

Worth that all day long. My dci 65 (87k, fsh, 54 plate) is advertised for £2295 and has had 3 phone calls in the first day. A dci 100 in that spec and colour is £2500 to sell all day long.

No! I was gutted. It had 18 inch tsw diablos on it, and was crammed with JL and Phoenix gold audio. Could shake a can of coke off the roof playing Daniel beddingfield! Lol!, that's how long ago it was! I sold it to a technician at Renault who wrote it off shortly after his mate barfed over the...

Both?! If I've got an erection it won't twitch. I'll update the thread later with some better cars. Even out the imbalance.

Remember that bath full of vomit?

Horses for courses mate. You drove round in a corsa where as I'd rather bathe in my own vomit! Lol. I've put pics up of the scoobys, m3, Audi, evo etc before. I just thought I'd share some of the cars that I had no digital pictures of. .

s**t thread is s**t.

Adam at Renault Wolverhampton will be your best bet. He's got a traders section on here. He gets me stuff, posts it, and its still cheaper than what my dealer can do it for. (because they're c***s)

The car will benefit much more from spending the money elsewhere imo. It's a case of what you prefer tbh. I'd rather spend £400 on sorting the handling out so that you can use whatever power you've got to its maximum.

Mr Gerbil, you are stark raving mental. Completely lost the plot! But I love it. I love the amount of work and effort you're putting in. Well done sir.

I can't help thinking those photos do the car no justice at all. Shame because it looks to be a nice example.

If I could guarantee it wouldn't rain, i'd bring it on saturday. But I can't. So I'm not.

Personally, I'd just buy the best car I could for the money I had available. Regardless of it being a 65/80/100. Lets be honest, you aren't buying it for out and out pace so IMO i'd try and buy something that needs little to no money spending on it.

What an amazing couple of days!! Looks awesome!

By the time you tell your insurance that your 1.2 clio now has a 1.7 turbo engine in it, it will be cheaper to insure a 172.

You can try a new foam seal. (Remove the sunroof, scrape off the old one, refit the new one) But the chances are it will be the main rubber seal in between the glass panel and the main frame. On an old T reg car, i'd personally silicone it all shut. Make sure it's bone dry, open the sunroof...

Nice car. Shame you call it a 'vert'. You have just lost 8 million man points.

It's going into storage for winter but you're more than welcome when it comes back out.

They're awesome. If you're ever in/near Bristol, I'll take you out in mine. Yes, I still have one. 16 years on! :D

Congratulations! Your advert is horse s**t.

Yes mate they were! Completely the wrong offset, and scrubbed like a b**ch on the back.

Driving like a penis. I did it about 500 yards from Bristol Hippodrome.

Who the f**k is this?! ^

Re: STOLEN: CLIO 182 M555 JEH The family behind we're giving me some disgusting looks! Lol.

Re: STOLEN: CLIO 182 M555 JEH Lawro, let me pop by work later, see how much room I've got. I'm at pizza express with the kids a minute but I'll let you know either way. Very pleased for you though mate.

I think I remembered every reg plate as I sat there in the hideous traffic.

Not if you're disciplined. As in buy the engine, then bin the card. I wouldn't do it personally, because I have the will power of a Basset Hound and i'd be maxing it out in no time.
