Pictures required please. Just bought a set and they arrived this morning but no car to put them on yet. Just intrigued to see what people have.

Hi guys
The cars going to the garage tomorrow for an alloy refurb. Now there's lots of surface corrosion which is common on the turinies. My question is, is it normally just on the face of the alloy or does it petrude to the back side of the alloy?
Scott
Having the cars camber sorted tomorrow after having coilovers fitted.
Can anyone advice how long a job this is and likely to cost on a standard mechanic hourly rate. Just so i know and the mechanics cant rip me off by fobbing me off with this and that.

I would class myself as a car cleaner enthusiast but not a detailer. Yet. And now I want to take it to the next step and be able to do a 2 day detail on the car.
But heres my problem.. Im lost in it all. Theres so many procedures and processes i dont know where to begin. So i've joined DW and...
Hi guys, quick question.
The car hasn't been started in two days, I start it today and leave it idle for about ten minutes without moving it. When I return I found all the stones around the exhaust have gone darker as if they are wet? Is this right? Is there a problem?
Had a leg injury on Monday and im not going to be able to drive for a month. Is there anything i need to do to keep the car ticking over ok. Just start it up for a couple of minutes every other day? Its not even at my house, its at the g/fs and ive not seen her (the car) since Monday :( Sad times.
What splitter options do i have. My cup doesnt have one and i want one. Ones ive regulalry heard of are
Standard cup splitter but they cost £'s
Skoda Splitter
Cupra splitter
Any other ones?
Always fancied some of those bright white/blue leds to replace the yellow bulbs that light up the number plate. So few Q's....
Are they legal?
What type of bulb?
And where do i get them?
Does anyone have a picture with some changed over?
I think they add a fresher look to the car.
So last night i tried my hand at shooting the car at night with some LED trickery!
After a full day cleaning the car here are the results. First at sunset and then at night fall.
Cliosport 172 Cup.

Going to do a photo shoot of the clio tonight for the first time, any tips from the pros?
All shots are going to be static and i have a tripod already. Anything i need to consider?

So when i bought the clio the bonnet has been scratched in a circular motion.
I was going to get pics but my camera died :mad:. The scratches are so shallow its litterally laquer removal and not displaced the paint at all.
I dont have a machine polisher and the surface area they cover is too...

Well yes another MPG thread but since owning the cup and sorting the speedo sensor im getting an average of 38.9 on the trip computer. Even when i give it a poke from time to time.
I would just like to say how impressed i am, as my old megane coupe 1.6 16v i would be lucky to see 35mpg. I just...
On Sunday the 8th of August 2010 after selling my beloved Megane Coupe 172 project i set upon my next task.
Those of you who know me well, know that my passion for the Megane is followed closely by the Clio Sport, and particular the Cup. So after many weeks of searching and last minute...
Do you hate detailing the most?
I detailed the clio for the first time this weekend after a week of ownership and theres always one part of a car that i think urgh... I know some of you clean freeks love it all but personally for me i found the front end a b**ch. With all the different angles...
This is my second post about this problem but buggered the topic title first time.
My problem is my speedo works some times and other times it doesnt... I could be driving along at 40 then all of a sudden a little jolt and the speedo is a 0. The rev counter works fine always, along with temp...
Well picked her up on Sunday in Cardiff off of my brother.
I have lots of little plans for her, but the first thing is to get everything sorted and running right. Gave her a quick splash yday and here are the pictures. Full detail in the near future.

Spotted last night at Newgale Beach, Pembrokeshire at about 8pm.
Silver 182 with black wheels. Parked in the car park over looking the beach. Very nice looking car sir!
Picking my Cup up on Sunday and just curious to know if there are any active members in Pembrokeshire? Just so i know for future we can have some local meets pics etc or do i have to travel further West.
Just intrested in what setup people have out there?
Im looking for a small drop just to fill the arches a little better. I had a set of coilovers on my Megane but if there are good enough spring setups then i may consider just that.
Oh and is the 172 torsion bar or springs on the rear? As the...

Been knocking about the forum for nigh on 2 years now but never actually owned a clio. Anyone who knows me knows i have a passion for them. So after owning a Laguna 1.8 16v Dynamique and a Renault Megane Coupe which i dropped a phase 1 172 engine in and failed misserably i am now picking up my...
Looking to buy a 172 cup off of my brother but the other day when driving on the motorway his speedo just dropped to nil and the car jolted? Any ideas what the issue could be?
I am doing a cliosport 172 engine conversion into my megane coupe with Craig at APD.
Today he rings me to tell me the car wont start but has been starting and running fine the last few weeks. He worked back his wiring and believes it to be an ecu fault.
I have the ECU decoded and an emulator...
Who are you? Because i want to say your car for me was the car of the show. It was gleeming. Got a nice little shot of it, and you stopped for petrol in Stretham (sp) services? I was chuffed when i saw it again.
I currently own a ps3 but after many of my mates have swithed to the dark side I'm after a cheap xbox unit to play mw2 online with them. Been offered an arcade practically new with about 8 games for £90. Anygood as I'm a noob when it comes to xbox's
