You must be due another by now Paul anyway !!

Well this is it sitting on the standard wheels. I fully intended putting turinis on when I bought the car but since then I've sort of moved away from the idea. I fancied something different, probably black rims but a lot of these wheels only good when they fill the arches out. I envisage I will...

Forgot to mention the car is RB wth gordini stripes

I love the standard anthracites I've got on the car but fancy a set of something else to put some tyres on and swap over now and again. I know there's the usual choice of turinis but what else would you go for. No outrageous colours please. The car is on standard height suspension so something...

There you go Chris, sticker gone and new bottle. I'm pleased with the wrinkle finish on the engine top Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

k Ah yes the grill sticker, it's the original one after first service so didn't like pulling it off :smile:

I painted them Chris, I cleaned them up on the rotary brass brush first, primer then did the in alloy paint, it's supplied by autosmart the valet supply people, it's really good paint. I left it to dry a couple of days then just put a cloth over the heads when tightening with the socket to stop...

No, that one is an opaque cream colour from new looking at photos, the expansion bottle is clear originally though

Oh crikey....another job

I've posted a couple of threads with the product of my efforts on the Cup I bought a couple of months ago. I've done all the paint correction stuff and finished the bodywork after having a new bonnet fitted and sprayed due to the usual leading edge rust. Had the front end painted and re striped...

I've finished the interior and this week I've spent every night in the garage with the Spin Doctor rotary on the outside and well pleased with the results. Today I've had the steamer on the door shuts and they have come up like new so just got engine bay to do now. It's generally very good but...

you're looking for something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320960725771

I'm just intrigued to know whether my gas struts are as good as they should be. I have just swapped them for another used set and there seems little difference in the way in which the hatch closes. The struts hold the hatch fully open without a problem, there is some damping and support right...

Guessing you would just have to use gloss black or Matt black

Yes, just buy black vinyl and do the same. Here is some in A4 size sheets https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361063374783

Solvol Autosol chrome polish worked in with a toothbrush, it was the only way I could get into the edges of the lettering. Worked really well

I made myself some chip protectors for the rear quarters in front of the arches. I did this on my other 2 clios but forgot to take any pics. I bought a roll of the adhesive stoneguard film off eBay, other items are a cereal box to make a template, modelling knife, scissors, pen, IPA cleaning...

I've spent the last few evenings with the rotary polisher. Racing Blue is a fantastic colour to work with, seems a lot easier to correct than the red of my Trophy. I did the sides today, especially satisfying taking the side trims off and giving it a good fettle. Here's a few photos of my...

Ah yes, forgot those little bits

Keeping it standard as possible, even more so if I can find a cup splitter anywhere around £100 ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ooh nooo, the tailpipes are polished stainless, you can nearly see your face in them, nice finishing touch Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've owned the car a couple of months now, the condition of it inside and out was very good when I bought it with the only downsides being the bonnet which had the classic front edge rust, half a dozen car park dings, some road rash on the front bumper and a couple of scrapes here and there on...

It's ok Paul, I appreciate you offering, you will find it when you're not looking for it !

I'm also keen to get the right stripe finish, the ones I'm taking off are more of a satin/matt white rather than high gloss, now whether that's due to weathering or not I don't know. If anyone can comment ?

Can anyone recommend a source for the white cup stripes please. I'm presuming I could possibly go to any vinyl place really but wondered if anyone has any recommendations

Impressive, just had a quick google search and found a place only a couple of miles from me

A bit linked to the previous post on powder coating but I'm wanting a nice untreated finish and wondered if anyone had gone for a simple bead blasting and whether it presents and problems to the mating surfaces etc. Also in removing and replacing are any new gaskets or seals needed
