Another update! Hasn't been one in a while but this is what the update is:
Got the 182 Alloys in Anthracite.
Anyway as ive recently had my brakes changed, the garage who done them tightened the bolts back on so hard, the efforts of 2 man powers couldn't even budge the nuts and locking nuts on...
So today its been pissing it down, driving around all day (obv sunroof closed lol) parked up at home tonight, looked up and ..
If you cant tell the dark grey patches means its wet, I obviously have a leaky sun roof, only above my side though everywhere else is fine..
so I need help!
What do...
Ive got the exact same feeling im going to do the same mate! After ive spent a ton (already have) doing it all up.. once ive completed it I think ill get bored and just get a BG 182, has to be BG. But that will be probably next year before I make that leap. Hopefully I wont and be content with...
Im willing for meet ups to get to know people from around the area! Except I need like a week or two notice before hand to book the days off work. Work sat and sundays from 3pm onward. Thursdays and Fridays I have off though, but like most normal people.. they work those days haha.
Done this a few days ago, cars been like this for a few days now but heres the update!
Rear Bumpers gone on.
Heres the before pic, as you can tell my front end is completely different than what the rear looked like!
Heres the man himself in action.. again. hahaha
Bumper off..
Shiny ass...
172 bumper will fit easily.
In the UK I got mine 50pound delivered.
Arch liners aren't a problem, the 172 rear is ever so slightly wider, you can screw them back in near the front but the back youll have a gap of around 1cm.
As for fitting, 2 Screws when you open the boot either side of the...
Friggin loads of you all, around 7/8pm today around Mcdonalds Mansfield/Odeon.
Grey 172 with Purple wheels.
Another grey non sport with random purple bits.
Parked up black 172.
and loads of non sports probably owned by oldies.
Just got sent a photo of the Door handles all done and ready, as he just said, theyre looking well BlackGold under false lights.. and this is the NV676 black paint code as well!
You can see the old Monaco blue they were originally in on the far left side too. Not a problem as this part of the...
Another big-ish update today, not that big thinking about it but anyway:
Got 2 presents in the post today, Fabia splitter and new wiper blades thank god!
Old wiper blades, as I mentioned before probably haven't been changed since factory fit.. instead of clearing the screen they just smear...
All I want to know is what was the excuse from the van driver?!
Just not paying attention?
This is the only thing that worries me, I see t***s speeding up full force catching me up and only slowing down when theyre about 15 inches away from me, I just wanna get out and slap them a few. The day...
Yeah brothers painted them as you can see in earlier posts, we put one on but the 2.00L ones currently on are pure Aluminum, theyre much more brighter and reflective, we consoled in this and decided to take the 1.4s off and re paint them in Gloss to get them as close as we can to the 2.00L ones...
Yes it is matey! haha couldn't agree more.. its also and expensive learning curve! so far the main lesson ive learnt is don't even let your car see a crowbar nevermind take one to it. Nothing good ever happens from crowbars.
Quick update for today.
Somehow managed, no idea how, thing just magically did it, but got the sideskirts to sit on the car with no attachments what so ever haha!
Took advantage of this and got a few shots of how the car would look with the skirt(s) on.
As you guessed they eventually just...
I don't know mate, as you already know clios don't weigh anything at all and sure yeah this isn't a 172 or a 182, it'll never compete with the higher spec cars, but with this being a 1.4 its quite quick, bearing in mind most people own a 1.00 or a 1.2, this floors those cars easily. Nothing to...
To be fair ive seen quite a lot of PH1s on here that look pretty damn good! better than mine.
You could just buy a ph1 sport bumper and get it colour coded, might set you back something silly but at least you don't have a friggin cracked windowscreen -.-'
For the side strips ive got 2 pairs...
Yes mate! that's the plan anyway, its going to be about 2 or 3 months before I get them though, either find them local on here or just use ebay.
Got quite a list to do to this yet, new alloys would be a finishing touch.
I was wondering this, but don't you have to have Glass Cover under your insurance or does it come standard? to be honest I have no idea what my insurance includes at the moment. Planning on changing companies soon.
Quite a big update today!
Got quite a few things to talk about, especially how at one point I wanted to buy a noose and hang myself from a tree. but we'll get to that.
Got a present in the post today! here the sexy thing is!
Couldn't just stuff this in the garage along with everything else I...
I swear I saw this on ebay not so long ago, was checking it out, thought it was pretty nice! bet you loved that as a 21st present! I would've been screaming like a child.
If I owned this.. I couldn't think of anything I could want to do to it! Pretty much perf! Even the engine bay looks better...
Right quick update, slow progress..
Had this for ages, just didn't bother to mention it, although today I was reading up on RS Grill fixings, apparently its easy, I thought you had to remove the whole front bumper but wrong I was, broke one of the fixings holding it down, the others fine but it...
Basically I cant undo the two bolts on either side of the.. I don't know. These Bolts:
No Matter what way I turn them, clockwise or counterclockwise the loosen... but then tighten back up?!?!
Tried Manually at first, using brutal strength I just couldn't do it, so went down to the brothers to...
Right, one of the main reasons why I joined this site is to post my clio project in here! I have to admit if this website didn't exist I more than likely wouldn't even bother doing this, but im glad I am, so here it goes. This is unfinished as the date of this first post but its going to be...
Thanks for the welcomes! and no not a bronie,, just a stupid username I like to use (;
Ill look out for your inferno 182! think ill be drooling when I see it haha.
As for the paint work! My older brother is a Bike Sprayer/Airbrush Artist, he's pointed out to me that its black gold, as upon...
From the Arnold area, pretty much right next to Nottingham City Centre. Ive seen only a few 172s Driving around, about 3 in total. However ive seen plenty of 182s in Arnold.
In Mansfield however... its Clio heaven, not for sports just every Clio in general. You go to the odeon cinema or pure gym...
