Looks seriously clean
But in your eyes I guess its filthy 😂
Good decision though man. I've only had the clio a few months and I already know my next car will be an EVO of some shape haha! It's a step in the right direction :blush:
hhmmmm, spent all evening looking through supercharged threads thanks to this haha!
I think, in the not to distant future, it's a must!
Nice ph1 though man! I look forward to seeing you charge it :wink:
haha it's all good!
I've not had to spend anything more than expected. I'd have given it new plugs regardless at some point.
And I planned to uprate the brakes anyway, this just means sooner rather than later.
Didnt need a new waterpump, so that money saved covers most of plugs and mount :up...
Been lacking in updates lately, probably because I've done nothing :smile:
But yesterday I visited @MicKPM At Diamond Motors for a belt change.
The car was a bit of a t**t to him I think haha! Found a couple of bodges with alternator mounting/bracing and even a loose nut in the belt housing...
Had to drop out from this, gutted as it would have been my 1st show with you guys :(
Unfortunately it clashes with a roadtrip up to Scotland (highlands) that I'm doing.
I saw some disgusting rumours being thrown around on facebook just, thought I'd check to make sure they were just rumours
:weary::coldsweat::confounded::cry::disrelieved::fearful::mask:
They weren't
Seriously gutted, but yeah... been there and done that.
I sold my polo of 7 years, something I...
I've been informed this is a fault with the switch, just looking to confirm before I buy a new switch.
They work fine when the keys in the ignition, however nothing once removed.
On a ph1
haha yeah, that's fair enough.
In regards to the wheel, I couldn't live with suede/alacantara. I too often drive with mucky hands lol. Would be black before you know it.
Not practical fr day to day use, but as Scott says how little he uses it, be fine.
I'd keep wetwipes in the glovebox though...
Few mates of mine had Cooper S, beware of turbo bearings and chain tensioners.
Common fault the tensioners go and the chains stretch. R56 this is.
They are pretty nice cars besides that, plenty of mods you can do too. loads and loads of parts available.
Cheers dude!
They're not all that different tbf. I do find the colour better in real than in a picture though.
Hopefully getting paint correction done on it, possibly next month if funds will stretch. Bring the shine/metallic out a bit more in the paint.
Had an extremely lazy week off, but slowly tackled the headlights.
Because I wanted to stay warm thought I'd do the headlights off the car inside... what an operation 😂
After much faffing and head scratching, eventually got there.

Before...
Ask when you take it to get the belts done ;) at least they will know what's actually up with it at a specialist. Rather than trying to rip you off like 99% of the garages out there.
We can do suspension anyway.
Cheers guys!
Get them fitted tomorrow once the paint has hardened more.
Week off work next week. Hopefully be able to get a bit done, although I'm pretty skint so not a lot I can do that costs nothing really.
Painted...
Basecoat reacted when I put clearcoat on.. these handles just don't want to look pretty haha.
Still a massive improvement, enough to keep me happy.
Cannot believe how good a finish I've got out of a can with the lacquer, I amaze myself at times 😂

Forgot to mention I'd fixed the fog symbol issue.
Pretty much just cleaned up all connections and it sorted it.
Will be finding out how easy the bumper comes off tomorrow. Going to remove so can get the headlights off for sanding/polishing.
Easier and warmer doing them in the house.
Primed...
lol yeah, or remove the bumper every time.
Joking about the vent? I asked on one of the FB pages and everyone was saying couldn't get them and had to replace the lot.
I'll drop Adam a msg, see if he can get a hold of one for us.
And yep, it took me hours to do the centre bit, and another...
Been having a bit of a tinker with it over the past couple of days
Gave this a good clean, God knows what this coating is all over the silver trim bits, but It's a pain in the arse haha
