Re: 2118's center caps (kind of)
Thanks all. I know they can be a bit hit and miss on here as the majority like them without but they don't look bad imo. Not to sure about show car though bobs!
Oh a did eventually wipe off the decals fletch :o
You on about the caps? Ill get a pic if so.
Ordered these a few days ago. Had some left over Nissan techno grey so gave them a quick spray. Not a colour match but better than black.

Only the ones above Ian. I'm on a shift change tomorrow as we're out to a suit and dress do tomorrow eve. Providing I don't have to much to drink ill be doing some tinkering on the bg on Sunday so ill take more pics then. Its not a major change, just a subtle widening.
Each to there own mate. I think if I was to do it again then I wouldn't have so much carbon, but I got carried away! :o All I did today was go over the headlights with 2000 then 2500 grit. Needs a full going over. There's a 3m kit that's rather popular on here and cost around £20. Certainly...
Also had a go at fitting the headlight film. Took the headlights off and indoors, got all prepped up, then spent about 30mins trying to do one headlight and then gave up. I guess you don't know unless you try! Lol
Fitted the spacers today. Took loads of pics as clarkey-ph1 wanted to see the studs before and after.

Cups only came in racing blue and inferno on 182s.
You've probably got a 182 ff. Half leather, front splitter and larger rear spoiler, climate control, xenons and 60mm hub bolt spacing.
Thanks brad :)
Looked at my blanks today as they had set and the lower corner is not completely flush, so I'm going to going to try and smear a little silicone in the gap and g-clamp them. Hopefully that will hold it flush. Seeing them on the car, im pleased with the finish of them though. I...
Thanks Jamie, i'll probably attack them Sunday if the weather holds out.
They do come up for sale dan so keep an eye out as they go super quick. Try and make sure the clips/threads are intact as it pulls the blanks in towards the bumper for a better fit than just tiger sealing them on.
Thanks...
Ollie you should have a look at gtechniq c4. It's a great trim restorer and saves sprying everything. Also you'll need to get a puller on the rear wiper to remove the blank. Had to do this on mine (well dan@519 did) as my rear wiper was seized onto the thread.
Re: CS Saturday 13 Convoy (Essex/South East)
Gonna be a good convoy looking at the list above. Still got another month to get more names on too. Got to break the 50 barrier.
Brad, Rob is sweet as a (hub) nut. (See what i did there? ;)) He'll have all the tools and sort you out, don't worry. He'll be cheaper than taking it to a garage and knows he's clios. He will return call/text/pm/reply on here, probably early hours of the morn :)
Ah ok, ill do the same then. Mine need a going over with some wet n dry again as there starting to look murky again on the edges. Is it a simple case of bumper off, 2/3 bolts holding the actual headlight in place and un-clipping the bulbs? I've never taken off the headlights before.
I did. Went down my local spray shop and got a rattle can of bg. They do a really good colour match. Gave it a few good coats of paint and lacquer to make it look oem. Looks really good I think.
£20 plus fees mate. Found a member on here that was selling a cup bumper and I asked if he would sell just the blanks, which he agreed to. You thinking of doing the same to yours?
Fitted my washer blanks today.

Thanks Jamie. Looking froward to putting them on, think it will tidy the front end up. Also cheers for the heads up. Yeah ill just take my time on it I think. Got instructions so ill just follow them rather than jumping straight in. The roll only cost £12 in delivery so if it fails its not going...
I ordered some 5mm spacers off Dan@Mad on here to go all round on the car. Ordered them on Friday and they turned up sat morning! Top service there :) I decided to go 5mm just to give my wheels that little bit extra, being et43. I was originally looking at 15mm/20mm but seeing loads of pics I...
Yeah and so does n2grafix but I'd need to lacquer over them to keep them from coming off and I don't want to ruin the finish of the wheels with my lacquering skills. Ill just leave it and stop being anal about it!
