They are indeed but he was running stud conversion

If anyone is still following..... Where is the best place for longer wheel bolts? These wheels have steel inserts in the holes so I can only get one turn on the standard length bolts. I don't want to run studs as lots of horror stories on here about them either snapping or just coming loose!!

Then re-fitted front lights after a polish and tested fitted my new 15" alloys, they need a clean but I couldn't wait to see them fitted. Happy with how it's turning out. Front brakes and suspension re-fresh next on the list.

So little update: Decided to have a day on it over Christmas after spending some money on a collection of parts. First up it was on the ramp and make a start on the cambelt. I don't have any evidence of it being changed and it's just turned 120k so for peace of mind I changed it along with...

Great project, well done for sticking at it. Look forward to more updates.

Faulty door seal or badly fitted replacement screen at some point?

Very nice, you not removing the passenger airbag?

I'll be removing my seats at the end of this week to replace with bucket seats. If the nuts are not corroded you can have them for cost of postage?

Thanks, is it on top or bottom?

Check out the aux belt!! Fitted a panel filter Then generally had a look about. Anyone know what the rectangular box below inlet is? Is it some sort of dampener/ balance weight? I then had a quick go at wet sanding the headlights. Still needs a fair amount of work but a big improvement for...

Then decided to remove the front bumper to loose the headlight washers and fog lights. One light was cracked anyway so I want to make them into brake cooling ducts. Both bolts inside each wheel arch were seized and the clip just kept spinning round, couldn't get a grip of the clips so I had to...

Next up was a set of new Bosch wipers. Anyone know which side the spoiler wiper should be on?? I guessed at passengers side? Then I removed the A pillar trims, front door trims and door cards.

Managed to get some more time on it today. I measured the front strut to hub assembly bolt centres, they measure 60mm which I'm led to believe is cup suspension. This ties in with the original sales invoice I have too. For some reason it just never had the rear spoiler or front lip. First up I...

Ok guys, thanks for the help, now we are certain it's not a cup. Nevertheless progress will continue.

So I stripped out the rear seats, all rear plastics, headlining & seat belts this afternoon. It's amazing the crap that gathers under the seats. I found a small puddle of water under the rear bench, is there a common problem I'm not aware of? The rear footwell carpet is also wet?

Box of goodies from RPD. Cambelt, pulley, water pump, locking tools, aux belt, tensioner & all other associated parts.

These are the seats....

Sooo..... Managed to pick this up very cheap so thought it would be rude not to buy it and turn it into a dedicated track car / trailer queen and hopefully take Part in the Tricolore series next year. It's a 2004 182 cup so I'm told but a few have already pointed out the lack of boot spoiler...

Thanks for comparison pics. Will get it on the ramp at some point this week and measure the front strut bolt centres to confirm what suspension it has.

Ah that's a better picture, I can see the difference now.

Does this not look like a cup spoiler from this angle? No sat nav

I see, thanks for info. Just looked through paperwork. Original Renault sales invoice states that its a cup so unsure why it doesn't have spoiler. Not really bothered tbh.

Haha, maybe not under lighting for the Clio, unless it makes it faster of course. I see, so cup spoiler is raised profile slightly. I was led to believe it was a cup model so I wonder why it doesn't have it?

Thanks. what does the cup spoiler look like then? I build camper vans for a living, this was just a panel van around 6 weeks ago. It is for sale

Got it, thanks guys.

Hi all, Back in the fold with a new 182 project. Had a few mk1 'valvers' around 10 years ago so I've always had a soft spot for the Clio. Had some great fun in them and even went over to 'the ring' with a group of members which was great fun. I picked this up yesterday, it needs some work but...
