Not a massive amount to up-date with but progress is still happening.
On Sunday 11th December I had an early start and drove o Goodwood for the Pistonheads Sunday Service, was a great day out and was great to actually drive the Clio since owning it. Overall I'm really pleased however the...
No real up-dates to report however this weekend (Sunday 11th December 2016) I'm going to Goodwood for the Pistonheads Sunday Service meet, so will be the first real drive of the car since I got it home.
Therefore this weekend I gave it a quick going over, to give credit to the previous owner...
Its the Pistonheads Sunday Service.
They are usually really good, although as mentioned above best to get there early, I'm aiming to get to Goodwood around 7.30am.
Perfect, I didn't know if you used High Temp paint or "normal stuff". I'll get together a few bits over the next week to give it a go over Christmas.
Another question, how did you know what size bolts you required for the slam panel, inlet cover, etc?
I suppose when you think about it you won't see the holes so not an issue if not that neat around the hole.
What paint did you use on both the inlet and covers?
That's the part I'm unsure about. Mine has already been painted badly so I was worried about old paint flaking and falling down the spark plug holes. I have a few days off over Christmas so I may look to give it a lick of paint.
Cheers
Really good work, I did see this earlier on IG.
Do you have any pics of the steps you took? I'm mainly interested in how you cleaned/painted the "rocker covers".

When I got rid it didn't look this good. They are so much fun on track, so easy to handle and learn about lift-off over-steer! I just hope the Clio is half as good as the VTS.
Nothing major to report. I'm still not totally happy with the headlights to be honest so they need doing again at some point in the future, I also cleaned the seatbelts the other week, using the bucket, washing powder and AG shampoo and they came up a treat, I soaked them for a good 30 minutes...
I'm in Billericay, so if I book it up I may join you for the drive up there, if you don't mind that is!
To be honest I put off changing the heater control as I've read a few horror stories! I was going to try and give it a go one night this week, but like usual I'm running out of time before i...
Long story short, I got held up at work and didn't make it :rage:
I just saw your other thread about 11th December 2016 at Snetterton which I may book onto.
Providing you mask the area well not much can go wrong. Just put a load of masking tape around the light and have the bonnet up. Not much can go wrong then.
So this weekend I completed a few more jobs on my Clio.
First up was a couple of quick jobs, to start the day I changed the rear numberplate light, here you can see the difference between the new and old:
I also fitted an LED bulb:
This was a really easy job yet made a really really...
Looks like a good project and I agree with he OP, most of the comments on here have been very unhelpful or critical.
I'll spend more than I paid for my car over the next year no doubt, I think people miss the point its not always about money, some people, including myself, enjoy the work that...
