Last night I was cleaning around the engine bay while the engine was off and cold. I didn’t start it up until today in the afternoon and it sounds like it’s running on 3 cylinders since. I just had a look at the coil pack and the leads into the coil pack and everything seems dry as a bone. I...

Making full use of the clios impressive storage capacity 😝

Sprayed the bilt hamber S50 wax inside both rear quarters today…

Well this is good news as it must mean that Renault are still making them?!

…and sprayed with 2 coats of bilt hamber electrox…

Passenger side after surface corrosion removed using a little brush on a dremel + a fair amount of bilt hamber deox gel. Good result I think considering how it started off (see above for before photos). Will wait until this is completely dry and then spray some bilt hamber zinc primer (electrox)...

Drivers side inner rear quarter surface rust completely removed and bilt hamber electrox zinc primer sprayed. Will be finishing off the passenger side tomorrow which had more corrosion but I’ve managed to take care of it all thank goodness! Will share photos of that too. Once the Electrox zinc...

Thanks a lot for the recommendations guys. I’ve been using the built hamber auto wheels and have gotten rid of 90% so far. Will just keep using it until I get 100% removed. Good stuff and not damaging to the wheels.

Have others used bilt hamber electrox on the bare metal followed by the bilt hamber S50 anti corrosion cavity spray wax?

Started tidying up inside the rear quarters today with a steel wire brush on a dremel. Then smeared some bilt hamber deox gel over the area to get rid of the remaining corrosion. First 2 pics without gel, second 2 where gel is starting to react with the rust.

Yeah these are 16’s. Eibach red lowering springs on standard cup shocks. Would look better lower but it’s my daily plus I’m getting older so don’t want to look like a boy racer 😝

Wheels cleaned to as best as I could get with the products I had. Need something stronger to get the baked on brake dust off. They need a polish to get a bit of shine back too. This is them fitted. I really like the design, lightness and the fact they allow a lot more cooling for the brakes...

I took delivery of these 16” OZ Ultraleggeras the other day. Over all they are straight and in decent nick, however they do have some brake pad deposits which are completely welded (rock solid) to the rims - see photos. For those of you running an aggressive track pad, what do you use to get...

Purchased an old set of OZ Ultraleggeras off eBay size 16”. They are in good nick apart from some welded on brake dust/deposits. Anyone got any ideas on how to remove this stuff? I was thinking tardis wheel cleaner or dry ice blasting. What do you guys think?!

Anyone got any recommendations on where to find this part now? I still haven’t had any luck…

900 for bonnet, both sides of car, side skirts. Included inside petrol cap, sills, removing rear bumper and removing and painting side bump strips. I wouldn’t have gotten all that done because it just wasn’t needed, however I decided to try and paint it myself to start with and I couldn’t blend...

Ended up getting these from b&q. Will see how it goes.

That’s great thanks. I went into the RS website and found a kit which should do the job nicely: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/multitool-accessories/6129551/ or in B&Q they have this but I’m not sure it’ll get into the cracks...

A few more photos of the underside and interior for the record… need to tidy up a few bits and pieces but it’s a daily and not a garage queen!

I removed the rear quarter panel interior cards to have a look at the inside of the arches for corrosion and this is what I came across. The drivers side has no corrosion but passenger side has some which I will attempt to remove with a dremel this week. I’ve already given it a wire brush but...

Update on the clio… had both sides of the car resprayed along with the bonnet. Added small mud guards to avoid gravel rash. Gave it a wash and wax and cleaned the front seats for the first time.

Thanks for your help everyone. I’ve gone ahead with a second hand set of these. Hopefully they look good and the car drives better with them on due to the reduced weight vs standard alloys (5.9kg vs about 8kg).

I thought they were superleggeras

Cheers for this Gus! Car looks great on these wheels. What spacers are you running? Is that B14’s too?

Cheers. I did search and came across this but still no silver clios with silver oz ultraleggeras.

There must be a few out there surely? Probably the best balance of looks and lightweight for the Clio 182 in my opinion.

Does anyone have a photo of a silver 182 with silver 16” OZ Ultraleggeras?

Anyone have photos of a silver 182 with 16” silver oz ultraleggeras?

Nice work! Can you give your opinions on how the pure motorsport solid top mounts and strut brace change the driving feel/handling/overall experience? Cheers.

You got me there 😝
