haven't done the rest, but after seeing what a diff it makes, I'm keen to get the bumpers done too.
only one problem, after I picked it up I wrapped it in bubble wrap for the trip home and the bubbles have left a few tiny marks.....weird.....will give it a good polish next time I wash the...
primer's for rat rods
removed

back from the body shop
they even painted the top too
light refitted, looking good.
much better
much much better
can't believe its taken me 4 years and 10 months to get it done....
bought from a local hardware place (not in UK)
was looking for plastic primer and satin black spray paint, but could not fond any primer, and I stumbled upon that product.....
I'm sure there are other brands....otherwise call em
Northern Europe - UK, Netherlands, Germany, Scandinavia...
I used this stuff, no primer, just a few thin layers. Just the standard balck option.

you just unbolt the wiper, just clip the cover up and then you need to wiggle it off, it won't oull straight off, use wd40 leave for 10 mins...
so it comes off (the light that is) from the spoiler - cool, can never trust these guys with masking up....got a good uote, won't take it in tomorrow as they always rush things on a friday so will take it in on Monday.
will take a pic tonight of the wiper - looks like new, was worried it...
I've decided to get my spoiler colour coded.
can someone tell me if when you remove it, can you remove the plasic part with brake light? or do the painters have to mask it off so as to not paint it ?
thanks
I know I know, but I'm unable to see them or try em before I buy, seller is 1000 miles from me.
maybe I must try and get him to send 1 wheel to me and take to a expert to check fit ??
ja but 2mm isn't as bad as 8-10mm as I was told that wheels for a clio should have an offset of 35-38m.
now, mk1 172's have an offset of 43, culd my "clio sport 1.616V" as it was called in south africa have the same track as a mk1 172 ??
I had a look at my rims - Renault Taurus (Rsi) - 6 x 14" and they have this written on them "4CH43" - could this mean the offset is 43 ?
there's nothing else on them hinting to the offset ??
ok, I know I'm gonna be labelled most anoying poster, but please confirm I'll only need spacers at the rear ?
why don't the front need ? Will it be ok with 40mm drop or am I better off with regular springs ?
really need to be 100% sure about this - otherwise I'd be betre off buying new...
those have an offset of 43 right ? you use any spacers ?
you meaning they rubbed at the back only ? how much is your car lowered ?
all I need is a definative solution/answer.....
would be great if someone can give me a confirmation on the spacer issue...
I have searched and 5mm spacers at the back only seem to be the answer...so the front go on with no hassles at all?
what happens if you don't have the 5mm spacer ?
anyone with a ph1 got 182 wheels on ?
