So yesterday i went and brought some autoglym rapid detailer and super resin polish. I snow foamed the car and sponged it down then dried it then clayed the car fully using rapid detailer as lube. I then rinsed it again and dried it and polished and buffed the car with super resin and a polish...

so after being bored on my night shifts in work and watching hours worth of detailing videos and coming to the conclusion i need to get myself a machine polisher, i realised the Clio is not as clean as it looks. By hand the car feels smooth but with the baggie test the paint is still extremely...

Orderd some more bits that the car desperatly needs. Hopefully order some dogbone inserts and rear shocks next week. Spent far to much on things this month as it is. Next month ill change all the filters on the car along with gearbox and engine oil flush and change. In theory if this new...

ino driving me mental . cant go anywhere without having to turn it on and off constantly. ordered a throttle body last night of ebay so hoping fingers crossed it should sort it out

Finally had my new tyres fit. Orderd 2 hankook k120 evo v2's for the front and the difference is night and day. Put my old hankook k110 on the back along with a practically new goodyear eagle f1 untill i replace the rears completely with another set of v2's. Not broke them in properly yet but...

Ah I get you. It sits funny because its parked on a hill with the handbrake on so the backs lower than the front when its on the drive. Ill be on the look out for some 15 inch team dynamics or turini's if i decide to keep the car for a little longer.

not to sure what you mean ? please explain

Gave the car its 1st proper wash inside out yesterday. Give the car a full clay and treated it with aqua wax. feels smooth all over now. Never seen dirty water come off a car from claying it. Treated and conditioned the leather on the interiour with star guard and looks like new now. Shame it...

its on some form of lowering springs not too sure which ones they are will have a look next time cars in the air. How much for the rear bench would have to be posted im in mancehster ?

Give the clio a quick wash in work as it was filthy. Ordering hankook v12 tyres and brembo hc disks for the front and brembo pads all round along with a polybushed dog bone mount on friday as driving it in this weather is shocking. Have wind deflectors on order aswell. A mate will machine...

Haha that waterless wax works a treat. And yea that wouldnt supprise me. Hopefully ill get a chance to clay the car fully next week. Its badly in need of a machine polish looks terrible up close

Got bored while waiting for fallout 4 to arrive in the post so decided to give the car a quick wash while it was dy with some waterless wax

QUOTE="canky, post: 10931523, member: 18434"]That wouldnt suprise me when i rang him (toying with the idea of buying it back at the time) he told me he was keeping the engine cover as he paid a lot of money for it and cig burn was done by a previous owner this was before he knew it was me the...

bottom of it doesnt look to good atm had a good luck when i had it on ramps a few days back. it looks like its been sat around for abit longer than the lad i puchased it off let on. Going to wash it off and seal it up next week

After Will be giving it a proper clean next week if the weather holds out this time but its better than what it was. defiantly need to give the interior a wet vac. engine bay still needs detailing also and headlights need polishing. Starting to get used to driving the car now and it...

Before The cleaning products Cleaning

Got a chance to wash the car today. Shame it started to rain while i was in the process of claying it so i just ended up aqua waxing it and leaving it at that. Took it out to get some fuel and it came back dirtyer than it was before. Definatly need to clay the car fully next week if its dry...

yea going of your pictures they are the same mats ha. They are tatty now and have holes in them on the drivers side plus they dont line up properly in the foot wells haha

My aim is to have it as clean as it was in your pics. Needs a good wet vac on the inside. By the feel of the paint its not been clay barred in a while either. Going to get the car on the ramps hopefully tomorrow and jet wash the bottom of the car and underseal it all. I guess the alloys could do...

Iv also changed all wipers on the car but the back one only cleans half the window. Anybody come across it before ?

Lukily its not gone in limp mode today since i fixed the missfire hoping it stays that way but i heard the sensor on the throttle body was a common problem ?

Currently at mates garage getting tracking done and the bottom of the car checked over. The trackings way out so hopefully getting it tracked properly will sort the handling. Also needs new disks and pads on the front which explain the scetchy stopping

So last nite i fixed the missfire. Changed the coilpack , ht leads and spark plugs and missfire gone. I have noticed the far going in limp mode from time to time and pluged the car into the computer and it says throttle positon sensor so ill be ordering a throttle body in a few days. Not had a...

N No conditon isnt amazing tbh. Looks like its missing its braided lines aswell. Ill be getting it up to a decent standard and yea come feb march its there if you want it

Haha i had launch control, hard cut limiter and an anti lag map on the astra. I got used to the pop and bangs and i do miss them now. Still not made up about getting it on the clio tbh, main thing atm is getting it up to a suitable standard

Hi all purchased this Clio 182 yesterday after days of looking around. Brought it due to needing a cheap runaround as my mk4 astra gsi needing a rebuild again after 2 months. Only planning on keeping the clio till feb/march when i plan to purchase a 335d e90 bmw and cant save for one while...
