Now I have finished uni, I could get round to giving her a clean.
It wasn't a mega wash, but it took a couple of hours!
Also fitted new side repeaters last week too, looks way better.
Hoping to get some 172 wheels soon I think.
Enjoy
I will probably come along!

It's coming from the door-ish area though, maybe the roof, maybe below the car, so unsure if it'd be a wear bearing. i will take a drive tomorrow and listen out!
Windscreen wipers are crappyish ones I think, standard with what came on the car i'm guessing!
Red Clio Sport, maybe a cup/trophy, i dunno, going down Cheyney Road (down by the side of the uni) at about 9ish?
nice looking and awesome sounding car, few near pops as you went over the speed bumps, and you hammered it a little off the lights ;)
Was it anyone?
Right, I have had this on my Clio since day one, but it was really annoying me last night!
Basically, when I go over about 50mph, there is a 'wind' kind of noise.
I'm guessing something is sticking out of the car a little to make this noise, but nothing is obvious after having a look.
It...
Going towards the motorway junction round about coming from Two Mills direction.
Think you had speedlines and a carbon splitter? Looked lush!
Anyone on here?
Cheers again for the good comments!
I don't think I am going to colour code guysy.
I have done/doing my badges (side, front and back) in Ford Graphite Grey and my wheels will be the same colour, so it might all go with the bump strips anyway!
They're great mate!
They were brand new, so no worries about wear at the moment.
Feels a lot more comfortable going around corners now too, which is always a good thing.
Finally got it lowered yesterday with help from a mate.
It's currently on 60mm Apex springs, until September (birthday) when it shall
be on coilovers!
Excuse the missing badge, it got sprayed today :cool:
Next things to do are:
-Headlight correction
-Brakes
-172 wheels and change the colour...
I'm still not sure about this game. Playing with mates on the demo, it was fun.
Being the Marine is ok, stick together with shotguns ftw.
Graphics are a bit hit and miss, but it's only the demo.
Oh and being Alien is far too fun :D
Love stalking Marines and hissing above them then dropping on...
Kneel - I will have a look over everything you've mentioned, I reckon it might be the earth to be honest. The wiring kit isnt new, but I had a look over it, changed the fuse etc, and it should all be ok.
Brown Bear - Cheers, I shall have a look for that shortly.
Yeah, I wanted something a bit better, but being in uni, I just grabbed something as cheap as possible!
Ive got the ground hooked up to the little bolt behind the back seats.
I was going to use the larger bolt on the rail behind the seats, but couldn't get it off after WD40 galore!
Need better...
I felt like buying some cheap ICE last week, so I purchased a FLI Trap 12 off Ebay, with a wiring kit etc, got it all for £48, not bad!
Fitted it today, got everything done fine, until i got to testing it out...NOTHING.
The unit doesn't seem to have any power going into it at all.
Now the...
It's quicker top end than the VTR, only because of the 16v's.
Feels boggy down the low end because of that too.
My VTR was pretty nippy anyway with the Manifold, exhaust system etc etc
So there's not that much difference overall!
Cheers for all the good comments, and the pictures posted of other 1.6s look great!
It's so solid compared to the VTR, which seemed so highly strung all the time, felt like it was going to break 24/7!
