After fitting a ph1 172 interior to the car I have been wondering if it is possible to restore the leather at all?? I know with sofa's you can get coloured leather polish and then give it a clear coat of polish to get scratches out, would this work on a car? The interior is in pretty good nick...

Ok so I decided to refurb my wheels… After a lot of deliberation and catching a glimpse of my car in a petrol station, I decided to go with silver wheels. Largely due to the way the silver in the dual optics goes with the silver in the wheels very well. First off, had to take off all the...

Just finished the refurb on my wheels today, and was really happy until I applied the lacquer. I chose a very nice bright silver etc, and was happy with how even the covering was... then today I came to lacquer it and it has gone VERY dark. Is this going to become lighter as the lacquer...

Ok so I've done bits and bobs of spraying in the past but just wanted to clear up a few questions before I set about refurbing my own wheels for the first time... Firstly, I know you sand down after filler, and primer, but then if you sand down after painting even with a 2000 grit, do you not...

So I'm gonna refurb my wheels come monday, I'm just really not sure what colour to go for tbh. I am really liking silver, but it feels like a waste to do them the same colour, my wheels are just a bit tatty so I will be re-doing it even if it's just silver. Silver... Anthracite...

Ok so I've owned the car for about 4 years and have been slowly modding it over all that time so I thought it deserved a thread. This car as a whole has been done on a pretty strict budget as during my entire ownership I've been a student, and since leaving uni I'm currently unemployed. I've...

Ok so I look out of my window a few days ago and theres a squirrel in the middle of my grass having a bit of a laugh. I grab my camera and hang out of the very little window. For some crazy reason I decide to try and coax it, much like you would a cat. To my suprise, it worked! The little git...

Recently fitted dual optics to my mk2 ph1.... Got everything working fine now bar the headlight adjusters? Taken them both out, both are working i.e moving... but i can't seem to get them to actually move the headlight bulb positions at all. Is there some sort of trick to getting the adjusters...

Posting from iPhone so please forgive mistakes. Fitted these following the guide, pretty happy but two questions. What light is supposed to be illuminated as headlight? Closest to the centre of the car or the further one? In the guide on here it says that all clios have the fuse space...

Fitted ph1 sport seats to the car yesterday, everything fine, driven it a few times. Then... Get in the car to drive back from a mates and get a high pitched noise, which gets higher/louder as i get higher in the rev range, same when in neutral. First thoughts are bad earth?? Too many wires to...

My Clio has a cobra alarm fitted, locked the car last night at a mates, tried to unlock this morning, and nothing! Press the button on the remote, nothing at all, light on the remote still flashes so its not out of battery, tried disconnecting the cars battery for like 2 mins, nothing. Alarm...

Need to get an MOT today, my old mechanic fell ill some time ago so can no longer take it to a "friendly" MOT place. I'm pretty sure its gonna fail on the following but it has passed with all of these in the past.... ;) One headlight does not have adjuster in, so unsure on how even they are...

Has anyone added their missus or anyone on a provisional to their policy recently? Preferably 1.2 owners, but anything will give me an idea, shes bugging me to have a go in her car to learn the absolute basics before she does lessons so she doesnt feel like an idiot. Does it cost a fortune as...
