Are these renault cup wheels or aftermarket turinis with renault centre caps? Car looks great 👍🏻

Thanks guys I've had the car since 2010 when I bought it with 32,000 miles for £3,200. It's now just about to turn 80,000 miles. Great fun and very practical so would like to keep using and enjoying it for years to come!

Further photos of the work done at the body shop.

Been a while, but car is almost complete at the body shop having both driver and passenger side rear quarters, sills, side skirts, bump strips + front portion of the bonnet sprayed to remove the usual corrosion patch and the lower portion of the front bumper which was scratched sprayed and clear...

Does anyone know the price of 2 rear quarter windows for the 182?

If I get some I'll let you know how I get on with it.

Your sleepless nights may be over 🤣

Have any of you guys tried lanoguard for protecting the underside of your cars? I'm keen on giving it a try for both my cars since it's clear, organic and is extremely easy to apply by the look of things. About £65 for a large (5ltr?) tub which should do a couple of cars. I've been looking for...

Bit of a disaster with the paint job I carried out on the Clio. Turns out that since it was water based paint and the climate at the moment is cold and damp, the paint turned a milky colour under the clear coat and ruined my many hrs of hard work!! 🤦‍♂️ So lesson learned for future will be to...

Sills protected with wax before I stick the sideskirts on...

I edited the post including a photo with the area I'm referring to circled 👍🏻

Also noticed while doing this work that the area where the panel skins meet at the bottom corner of where the rear lights sit had surface corrosion on mine which I removed. Any others on here seen the same thing?

Got the drivers side rear quarter and sill painted/clear coated today. Here's some pics to give an idea of what can be done with spray cans in a normal garage. Obviously very orange peely but I'll wet sand and polish which should mean it ends up half decent. Main thing is that the sills and...

Okay great info thanks buddy. Will refer to this little guide when I go to take a look 👍🏻

Thanks for sending through! So it's the bracket holding the front bumper on. Looks like surface rust on yours and you caught it well before it became an issue. How easy to remove the front bumper?

Do you guys on here know much about the corrosion on/around the front brackets holding the front bumper on? I've heard a little about it on here but not seen and photos of the corrosion. Just want to address all potential areas now before any corrosion progresses.

I'm actually doing it all myself with spray cans. I was not originally going to spray the rear quarters, but there were a few veryyy tiny bubbles (1mm at most) in the paint at the bottom of the rear quarters so thought it best to address while I was there. I was surprised at how good a finish...

Bits still to do: - buy and install JMRS intake - install battery cover along with intake - install new powerflex dog bone mount - check inside rear quarters for corrosion - respray and clear coat drivers side sill and rear quarter panel - dynax UC sills, under rear bumper and behind fuel cap -...

Not sure if anyone knows this, but I read somewhere that the Bilt Hamber snow foam also lays down a corrosion barrier on bare metal to delay onset of rust. Similar to built hamber atommac corrosion inhibitor.

Passenger side rear quarter/sill fully painted and clear coated. Note that the more dull part under the bump strip has not been polished yet.

Been doing some small restoration stuff on the Clio during lock down. Just trying to refresh and repair any signs of corrosion at the moment. Will post up a few more of the finished results.

Oh and I'm using nylon washers to spread the load when tightening to avoid bending the plastic side skirts...

Looks great with these! Anyone know how much the 16" weigh as opposed to these 15"?

The holes in the skirts accept 5mm fittings. I just bought some dome headed bolts for Allen key along with nylok nuts (both stainless). There are x5 holes on each side of the car. Great idea for removing on a yearly basis to check every year for any corrosion and give a good clean out and wax...

Cheers I've got them now. Just need to finish off the paintwork before fitting the sideskirts back on again. Will be handy to be able to take off every spring to give it and behind the fuel cap a good wash out 👍🏻👍🏻

Ok thanks. What a pain!

Cheers buddy!

I can take a photo tomorrow guys thanks 👍🏻

Could you provide the details of the "dome headed stainless bolts with unlocks" so I can get a set. Your idea is a good one so I can keep the maintenance going and keep an eye on things every year or so.
