Got hold of a pair of these earlier in the week to finish off the (epic) cup spoiler nicely. :o
The pictures are fairly self-explanatory.

Hi CS.
When opening the door to get into the 200 after unlocking, sometimes it beeps, as in *beep, beep, beep, beep*, but stops after 4 or 5 beeps. The lights are not on btw.
What's the reason for this? It's doing my head in and the computer only says push brake and press start.

Near Cobham, Surrey, on the M25.
1.3 million litres of Fuel, 36 pumps, 141 nozzles, 3,400 customer capacity per day.
Is petrol taxed that much? Really?
Me and my dad travelled up the night before and stayed over, so that I could be up detailing the car at 6:30am before the show, ready for the Detailing World Showdown..
I thought it was one of the best car shows I've been to tbh, met some really decent people as well.
A few photos of the Clio...
After long deliberation over which exhaust would give the 200 the best sound without sounding like an absolute tool, I decided on the Ktec Pro Performance Exhaust.
After dealing with two really decent guys on here, Matt (Matt5687), who sorted me out with the exhaust and Dan (Danlp6), who fitted...
I will be picking up a cat-back exhaust at the end of the week for the 200, is anyone in Bristol or the surrounding areas able to fit it for me?
In return for a few beverages of your choice of course...
PM me if you are interested! Thanks.
How can I do it?
I want them off, completely off.
The rear one keeps smearing the dirt on the back window when I put the car in reverse and it hacks me off.
Also, the front windscreen wipers start going at the speed of light when there's a light drizzle and only on setting one.
Thanks!
Just a few shots of my detailing bay in the garage, hope you like!

A friend has just acquired a Mazda RX-8 and asked if I could give it a good going over for him to maintain.
It wasn't in a bad condition at all and I was impressed with the paint condition, only a few marks all round, but I had it in on Sunday to do my best.
A few before's:

Doesn't look as bad as I thought it would be tbh.
I wonder if they use leather cleaner/conditioner instead of shampoo!
Thoughts?

Thought this may be of interest to some people, Definitely worth stocking up on a few AF things at those prices!
As a spur of the moment thing and because Adrian (Ado) is selling his 200, we decided to get some photos of the cars together.
As Kirsty (KirstyRB197) wasn't far away, she popped down with her boyfriend and we quickly had 3 197/200's to play with!
Here's the photos, I'm not a photographer and...
I had this in for a one-day enhancement detail at the end of last week. Such a lovely car and it was a pleasure to work on, despite how deceivingly long it is!
The colour is a flat colour but had some great reflections and seemed to have a pearly tint to it.
There are a lot of photos, but...
Some of you may be aware of the new ceramic sealant that Autoshine is developing, and I was sent a sample to test, so I thought what better to compare it to than G-Techniq C1, arguably the most durable Ceramic Sealant available.
I took some photos of the application processes and I will be...
When I try to send a text in a low signal area (my house!), I press send, but the text doesn't always send and I don't realise for ages as I normally leave it to send.
Is there an app to automatically re-try sending a text until it does? Even old Nokia's used to do it FFS.
As I had a large G-techniq delivery on Saturday, I thought I'd have a play with it on the interior of the 200.
No pictures of before, but the interior was like an operating theatre anyway so there wouldn't have been anything to show. :o
The products used:
AF Spritz and C6 on the dash...
Well as a last minute thing, I decided to drive back home to take the 200 out tonight as I hadn't driven it in a few weeks, so I snapped a few photos along the way.
It hasn't been washed for around a month but Zymol Carbon is still shining through. :o
Comments welcome...
Seeing as I've neglected it for quite a while since the arrival of the 200, I treated the Clio to a day of pampering.
Some before's:
Had a helper today!
Pre-washed with Citrus, left to soak.
Intricates cleaned with ValetPro brush and APC while the car soaked...
Spent today cleaning and protecting the 200 before going up to Manchester tomorrow.
With it only being a few weeks since a full decontamination, polish and seal, the car has only been driven a few times since so didn't need much doing to it, but a few new deliveries meant a few new products to...
As title, I think it is the Bilberry wheel cleaner that does it.
I know not to spray directly towards brakes and don't intentionally, but when the car is completely finished and you stand back to look at the finished result, it's annoying that the disks are bright orange.
The orange goes...
Anyone got a picture of them on a 200/197?
I know they are satin black originally but they aren't as rewarding to clean and I need a wheel refurb'ed, so I fancy going gloss all round.
Is there a trim dressing that doesn't smear on paintwork? I've only used AG Bumper gel but it has to be wiped off paintwork when it's been applied to trims.
I know most other dressings won't disappear on paint but I was wondering if there are any exceptions to the rule.
Sorry if this is a...
Went across to Adrian's today (ado) to get the projector lights and HID kit fitted to the 200.
Had it all done in around an hour and the lights change the front end massively.
Anyway pictures tell the story:

Well done Renault for making such a straight slam panel...
