This is probably not in the right forum
I'm sure there's a guide somewhere on this, but I can't find it! I'm looking for a guide on what to look for when buying a 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 and 172/182!
Or if the Clio's are retivatly similar across the models then what would I be looking for on a Clio...
I love this, makes me want to get a Volvo myself in the future. I didn't realise I could read until I found this project!
You've done really well with this, Volvo's are fantastic cars, reliable and a great project car! Definitely underrated! Subbed
Blue! Not sure which sport 172 or 182! Had turinis parked at the front right near the aquarium!
Was a gig in Lowestoft last night and saw 2 blue sports! Niceeeee
I don't doubt spray shacks work not at all I'm sure it's of the highest quality but if you want to save money and you're a diy kinda guy, then go for it. If you get the technique right DIY spraying can open a whole new world of saving money, a lot of it
I'd DIY it, if you practise and practise spraying you can get a really nice finish. Getting your time In between coats right and spraying technique right you should be happy with the finish. After the lacquers dry and you think it's not as shiny as it could be lightly sand with 2500 grit 3000...
For anyone interested, bullets up close. They don't look as great as they do off the car, big shame. If your eyesight isn't as good or you squint while looking at the side of my car, they look like a really light shade of pink! I'm thinking of getting them done a nice grey and black writing just...
Did @markerboy2002 's headlights on Sunday, and his wife's! Both lovely people. Sadly didn't get many before pictures, but they were bad haha. Only a few after pictures. Literally only 2 before pictures
Two before pictures of the same headlight. Probably the best condition one too haha...
Not permanently, just illustrating what its capable of, im not a A$AP Rocky type of person with the bass constantly shaking the whole car! i just like to hear the nice low ends of a Royal Blood song!
i only have the gain and boost on about 3 or 4/10!
Know exactly what you mean! i just...
I have but they're so expensive I think really, mine was a fiver and it's absolutely insane! Over 1200watt sub powered by a 100 watt amp and it still shakes the interior mirror so you can't see in it anymore hahha, can't imagine what it would be like if amp power was matched to the subwoofer...
that's a really good idea that! Hahah I love the badge! It's so cool! I just wanted to go something other than black but black with red dots might look nice. I have gloss, satin and matte, hmm what do I go for!
Good idea mate, I love ideas
Cheers mate, yeah me neither, black is very common on badges, but then don't like chrome! But I'm happy with that!
They look really really good off the car, just like In the first pictures, but just don't look as good on the car as they do off! Not sure what to do about them! I want it too...
Fitted the badge and bullets! I love the badge, but the bullets I'm not a fan the idea was cool at the time haha! Moment of madness;)
Yes I know these photos are crap, my camera lens was very dirty (unknowingly) just literally got in front work, popped them on, took a few pictures then had...
little update;
These arrived in the post today! It's about time I got some of these considering the price!
Was so worried when I saw offset pins on the packaging, I thought Clio's were normal pins, literally sh*t myself
Before (mm fried egg)
After (mm poached egg)
Rear makes a slight...
BG 182 Harleston town center, just now!
french flag on the grill too, sounded lovely!
starting to see a lot more Clio Sport in around harleston now! There's 2 182's in harleston, One LY and the other Silver, both live in harleston! dont think either are on here! i want one:tired:
Can anyone recommend a good exhaust place? I've sent 3 emails around to 3 various companies in Norfolk that I could find on google, but I'm sure there must be more!
That's very true! Hot day? What's that?! 'fully use the 65hp' that's fantastic were you really? Should've said, would've kept my eye out! What time was that? What did you pick up?
Coilovers? Christ that's way out of my budget would there really be that noticeable difference? The alloys came with really decent tyres so I'll be using them till I need new ones but I do want either sport line or pros by eibach as I heard that makes a big difference! Looks and handling! He...
Forgot to add to the update;
I managed to fix my sunroof, my sunroof leaked so I fixed that!
But my sunroof also creaked and rattled like mad, so loud you had to shout to passengers anyway, remove the glass and seal and then discovered this underneath the headliner just sitting there...
hahaha:smile: thanks a lot mate, appreciate it! just so keen to get a nice exhaust now! it has come a long way! but still got a lot planned, i dont want to go over the top, just want to keep it respectable:wink: cheers, i enjoy spraying too! so pleased with the colour coding on the front im not...
Thanks a lot! Glad someone likes it
Yeah I must admit I have been looking at new alloys despite how pleased I was with my ones, I've been looking at Turinis and 182 wheels, I'm more of a Turinis guy but the price difference is swaying me towards 182 alloys, looking for some on the cheap tbh...
Done a good job on the colour coding! Personally I'm not a fan of the tow strap and stickers but it's your car and that's what makes it your own!
You may have already done this but it looks like your drivers side headlight needs a refurbish. Your passenger side looks to be a Brand new headlight...
