Finally got my car looking nearly finished, now that it's all back to one colour!
Massive thanks to Matt (Mx1_champ) for painting it for me, looks amazing once again. Would quite happily recommend him for any spraying of parts, colour coding etc...
Before...
I'm on first name terms with the lads at ATS now, I've been there that many times with my exhaust, the b*****d won't stop rattling or blowing, every time its fixed, it just starts blowing again! Might aswell not have an exhaust there at the moment, its driving me insane!
The two rear mounts...
I'm after the radio code for my clio, not had it for a year, and driving round without music or radio is starting to do my head in. I cant really get time off work to get to the nearest dealer with all my details and ID and everything. If anyone is able to get hold of the code for me, I'd be...
Right, got some bald patches on my car, and need the bumpers painting inferno to match.
After Adams input, I'm considering getting Halfords (is a motor factor a better bet?) to mix the paint up, and put into some rattle cans for me to have a bash myself.
As far as I can see, I have nothing...
Just noticed that my nearside xenon is dead:dapprove:
the latest addition to the list of stuff that needs sorting
Quite a bit of condensation inside the headlamp too, could it just be that this has shorted it in the wet weather?
What's the worst case senario? Cost of new bulbs, ballast...
Right, as per http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=354330&page=4
My cam belt will need replacing:dapprove:, car's done 38K and can't see evidence of it being done.
Anyone have any ideas on how long past the 36k service they will last? or is it russian roulette? Funds are really...
To the driver of the silver 182 that overtook me, my mate, and 2 other cars in the middle of a 40 at the top of matlock, congratulations on being a first class prick.
Putting yours, and others lives in danger to be first in queue at the traffic lights FTL
Had the car coming the other way...
Well, I guess my car has reached project status, so as pointed out by addz, it needs its own thread.
Basically my cars life started out in the hands of some chav, who'd put a charming body kit on the car, and proceeded to drive into something a lot harder than a clio. So I purchased the car...
Finally, I've removed all of the body kit!!! Burnt both thumbs in the process, but it's done, and it looks so much better for it :D
starting to come off...
First time I've seen my cars bumper:approve:
Custom plates supplied by Addz
So pleased, now all i...
Well today i managed to get some more done to the car, and its starting to look a lot more standard:)
took 5 hours to swap round the exhaust, the bolts for the mounts had turned to rust.
Anyone ever tried using these as jacks?
Note to self, never try and start the car...
Im off to pick up a second hand exhaust in about half an hour, but can any one tell me the price for a 182 exhaust from renault? Quick replies appreciated:approve:
is 85 too much to pay for a used full system?
Thought I'd share with you all how much I've done on getting the car back to standard.
Started taking off the old side skirts and front splitter, which were an absolute b*****d, the stuff they were glued on with was stronger than the plastic, so I broke 3 knives, blunted 2 and snapped the...
Due to insurance purposes, (apparently having a 19 year old driver on a modified Cat C 182 is risky) I have to remove the mods off my car, so the kit that the last owner put on is coming off. (Awaits the cheers from CS)
Started on the front splitter with a small snap off blade, to try and cut...
I'm bored, cleaned my car today and polished it, but left the camera at work... in the mean time, I'm posting these pictures up so you can all comment on my splitter. Clean pictures to follow tomorrow
As said, hard cornering and any sort of bump is making my front wheels rub on the top of the arch lining. Bit alarming when your hammering down a country lane and all you can here is scraping every other 10 metres.
Wheels are 17"s and not sure of the drop on it, must be about 40mm. Is there...
As said, didnt pass the MOT so couldnt drive it down to it's VIC tomorrow. Rented a trailer from Bridges, cheers Paul and Matty J, and loaded it on for tomorrow.
Twas a nice sunny day, so tried to catch some of that inferno shine on camera;)
mmmmmmmmmm xenons
then...
Right, some of you may know that I bought my car crash damaged, and have been having it repaired for the past month. Basicly the guys asked me to come over tomorrow morning, to see what i want doing with the body.
It's got a k-tec body kit on, and i have a parental figure on my back saying get...
seen some awsome pics using this, and thought id have a go at it... first off i assumed it was just an effect in photoshop, then searched the site and found its more complicated, so eventually found software (no prizes for guessing which) and had a go on the forklift at work while i was bored...
