I go to France a few times a year and so thought I would post up pics of two quite funky cars I found:
First one has that rat look to it - purely unintentional as the owner was an old mussel fisherman . Really like it though.
Second one I really wanted to buy. This is a first edition...
I was thinking of buying a new wet dry vac for the car but dont know which one to go for. I remember a year or so ago the EU put some new rule in about making them all ECO so now a days they are all really weak.
Is there one that is fairly decent for car use. I was hoping to give my seats in...
Hope this is the right forum, it involves cleaning but not cars....

Fitted a few new bits this weekend:
New trophy spoiler (ebay special)
Also got this amazing set of carbon dipped dash trips off @-Danman- . Cant stress how good the quality is, even the...
Just popped in to Spray Magick to have my trophy spoiler painted and saw a lovely silver 182 outside.

They have loads of nice stuff for Clios. With the favourable exchange rate it it makes them quite cheap.
Ordered some braided brake lines a week ago and am waiting on delivery. Have spent a while on the site this evening looking at carbon bits and various other...
Im needing something to blacken the plastics on the car, I have used meguiars trim detailer in the past. Im not happy with the meguiars trim detailer as when you apply it to the plastics that hold the wing mirrors I find that although it looks nice, next time you wash your car the grease from it...
Just wanted to get your advice before I do anything. In the past I have washed the car with something strong like fairy liquid to strip any wax and then clayed it.
This time I have got Collinite 476 on the car since autumn so intend on snowfoaming to begin with with citrus power.
I have...
I want to buy some wax for my BG 182 for summer use. It doesnt need to last ages as I like car cleaning in the summer. I dont want to spend stupid amounts. I spotted this Chemical Guys back luminous glow wax http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/chemical-guys-black-luminous-glow-wax/prod_1174.html...
Im a bit stuck at the moment. I need somewhere that would be able to use a lathe to take 2mm off the diameter of some brake discs. I have tried to google everything I can think of but nothing is coming up.
Ive got some 300mm discs and some 4pot calipers and mounts which are great but there is...
Im going to be swapping my calipers for some new ones on my 182 and wanted to check that what I am doing is right:
-unbolt old caliper and carrier and leave the braided line connected, placing it on something so the line doesnt tug.
-remove old disc and fit new disc
-fit new caliper and pads...
I need some help with the resistors as i am going to swap my seats today. If anyone has done this can they have a look at my pic and tell me which wires I need to bridge with the resistors.
I have the right resistors just dont know where to brdge them.
Here is a pic of my seat connectors.
My work computer was left on for a few days and when I came in this morning the screen output is all corrupted. There is green lines all over the place and even when booting up the Dell post screen/bios is corrupted where any ascii text is jumbled. When it boots into windows its running 640x480...
Im wanting to get a steering wheel retrimmed. I have got a spare 172 mk2 steering wheel that doesnt have the cruise buttons on the wheel. I was hoping to get this wheel retrimmed and then take the cruise buttons off my 182 wheel and fit to the new trimmed wheel. Is this possible?
Im in a bit of...
Bought a livingcolours Iris a couples of years ago and have been slowly adding and building up a collection of these lights. Added a Hue bridge a few weeks ago and have them all linked together. They are awesome lights and make for such a cozy living room. There is some pretty cool features like...
Been driving around in Renaultsport Clios since I got my first 172 in 2003. Ive never really done much apart from general maintenance with my previous clios but have enjoyed every minute of driving them. Seems everyone posts their old cars so here are mine:
Clio 172 - ran it from 2003 - 2010...

then look for : WR A3 205/55 R16 H (91)
£48 for some really decent winter tyres. Not for everyone obviously but cant deny its a good price.
Will 205 55 r16 fit in the arches or will it scrub?
Is anyone else following Project Binky on youtube?
The attention to detail and fabricating skills are amazing. Is there any other projects like this on youtube.
