front bumper is going in for a respray next week or the week after.. all grills and surrounds smoothed and colour coded along with the front splitter smoothed in & carbon fibre blanks to be bonded on you can see why! stone chips :'(
black headlining:
excuse the dirty engine bay! this...
cage should be back next week with front and rear braces.. some SLR pics of the lights n headlining are just being uploaded..
all the grabhandles have been removed and replaced with blanks... managed to get a load from a breakers yard and carbon fibre wrap them like the ones in the picture above ^
The track lights...!
Before anyone screams as I'm hacking apart xenons these were really stuffed after being dropped :'( and I have brand spanking ones!
Cut a section out and flatted the lens back..
Fitted a CAF.. Made it out of some plumbing bits in b&q!!
With the sprayed front on...
It's not bad to take the manifold off to spray it tbf if you are handy with a socket set!
I would recommend using some b&q stove paint.. Really good class finish!
Will post pics up later of todays progress :) :)
Roof lining and finished the track lights :)
Managed to scratch my old lights beyond repair and broke the bulb holder off the back in one solid meeting with the garage workbench then the floor..
So.. I got bored and started to make them into track day lights! Save my nice new ones!
Work In progress...!
manifold will look like this...
its a heat treatment.. keeps heat in the pipes and lowers temps in the bay... basically like heat wrap but much better and wont crack your manifold!! will upload pics when its done :)
sent the cage and braces off today! bumper respray next week and heat coat the manifold
Can't wait to see how they turn out.... few before pics..
quick engine bay shot without the brace;
matt black floor and cage before coating;
cant really see the front bumper chips.. but it is bad...
see i asked the same question on my facebook and everyone said yellow.. with black headlining and maybe a really light smoke tint on the windows!
ah decisions :P
yeah ive still got the old lights.. i may put them up for sale.. they still work and everything they're just not in the best...
LMAO!!!! hah!! that is perfect!!!
recaros would be ace.. we'll see! :P
opinions please :)
cage + front and rear braces
RS Yellow or gloss black.. im going to take it out tomorrow so i can send it to the coaters..
heres how the new sprayed rear looks...excuse the crappy iphone picture quality...
For anyone searching; the problem was the lead on the alternator had come off!! Such a simple fix I can't believe I missed it!! Just required unscrewing new ring connector putting on the cable and reconnecting!!
So happy that it was this! Never had any problems with it until then! All running...
I presume the problem may well be a bad earth.. I resprayed all the back of the clio where the back seats were boot floor and by the locking mech in Matt black..
After a short drive down the road.. No issues..
Serv light popped on and my stereo went off.. So did my heating and abs light came...
Awesome pm'd
FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS PAID!!
We have catering there on the day who will supply breakfast sandwich and a burger/chips or whatever for lunch and as much tea/coffee as you want for £10 so bring that on the day if you want food/drink
sprayed the floor where the seats went matt black today.. looks much smarter till I get round to building a false floor!!
fitted new plugs n performance leads as well, bit of a service, just smartens up the bay a little more.. yellow OMP Strut brace coming soon :D
also... Brand new...
all slots are now full.. I will be organising a Renaultsport day too some time after this event due to the amount of interest Ive got from the forum..
