I have this problem Got the car on the ramp and a friend turned the steering wheel and we could see some play in the wishbone bushes (car is on coilovers so its just worn) although the noise is was isolated to the end of the steering column to where it meets the rack or whatever you call it. We...

Questions about the seats: A) how do you get creases out? specifically one of my headrests B) my passenger side seat doesn't latch onto the runners (the cable for it has lost tension and wont latch properly) C) theres some sensor which goes into the runners on the driver side. I think its the...

UPDATE!! Never planned on upgrading the interior to the sport one but some cheeky haggling and got some 172 half leathers for next to nothing the condition is superb! few kinks but who can complain! at night Looks lovely!

Easy to wrap the dash trim done myself took me about 30 minutes. Can PM you my own guide (no pictures though)

Depends which alloys your talking about. If its the ones I got with it then its Plasti dip if its the 172 alloys pictured above then they were sprayed by the spray guy ahaha if that helps. The colour is BMW black from a 2008 3 series BMW. Are you planning on spraying them yourself?

So basically I have the following equipment: Hertz HDP5 5 channel amplifier Audison Bit Ten D Signal Processor 12" generic subwoofer (will get audison or hertz) I am looking at Audison/hertz components and was wondering to go either 3 way partially passive or 2 way active? The reason because...

I dipped them myself not to difficult. Costs about £50 from car dip UK buy 4 cans and use one on each wheel don't use one at a time other wise the pressure dies down and you get different results. The plasti dip is self leveling paint so dont worry about over spray. The wheels have been abused...

The door cards seem darker and the fabric is suede. Can get the whole interior just cant shift the old one I dont think

Contacted someone on here but never got a response. Might go scrappy to get them. I want to get sport interior for mine but have no idea what to with my old interior. Even if I let the whole thing go for £40 don't think anyone would buy it 😧

Your car might be flame red dude don't think I have seen a 55 plate cherry red clio. It cost me £400 to get the wheels, trim and whole drivers side and bumper resprayed. However there are marks where the sprayer 'forgot' to spray. Although its just some scratches.

ahaha a maraca rattles less than this car especially with the coilovers!

Sorry for late reply dude! Havent checked CS in a while :) A lot has changed since CS and yeah will deffo be heading up this year. Your gonna love your car even more after the colour coding. My door handles are still being done (primer stage) thats pretty much the last thing.

Slight update got rid of the front plate. Looks much better, going to get a small one on the side similar to jap or like an evo style numberplate. Getting the front smoothed but for now it will remain without a numberplate.

Mine does the same some mornings, I do wonder if I have locked it the night before. I wouldn't worry about it unless it does it while your in the car.

Getting started on the BIG 3 UPGRADE first of all got my 0 AWG wire for my ground and the superb 0 AWG terminals! For those who don't know the Big 3 upgrade is a wiring upgrade in the car audio world which basically means that the alternator ground and positive, and the battery ground are...

Before any further mods I need to fix the sunroof leak as the carpet is drenched in water which sucks! Emptied a bucket full of water on Sunday evening. Going to slightly tint the rear lights. Enough so that the clear circle goes slightly dark. The electric system is getting the Big 3 upgrade...

Small update got the rear spoiler resprayed, rear window tinted and the Michelin PS3's fitted! Looking almost complete on the exterior, door handles are being spray atm bought a spare set of iceburg ones for £10 posted bargain! New number plate added to our collection (ford Ka) love...

@masekwm small world! I drive past this everyday to get to work! I come from the left way (in your first pic) and go towards the right. Many people cut this round about. The three lanes on your end make it even more confusing. With regards to your insurance issue it might be a bit late to push...

bid and dont pay that will really wind him up lol make it £100k if need be ahah:tearsofjoy:

Yeah as said above taking the dash out is super easy. You should run your new speakers with tweeters (it would still work without) just for better high range. I disconnected my rears to allow more power to go to the fronts and it sound so much better!

@JoePeps It zooms in to allow for the 3d effect just look at the bottom of the screen and it should say (something) zoom: ON/OFF just turn it off Hope this helps!

UPDATE! Got my coilovers installed last week and I am loving them!! Get my michelin PS3's put on this weekend so that will make the front wheel fill the arch better like the rear. Car is looking really smart, the ride isn't to bad either its just back breaking lol. Proud of how far shes come...

Been offered two pretty much new Michelin PS3's although one is XL and one isn't. If I use this setup on my front wheels will I notice any difference? Or should I go both XL or non XL ? Regards, Jay

@DaveDreads I have done about 30 miles with the fuel light on and it didn't seem to be coughing or showing any signs of an empty tank although I have a 1.2 and it would probably be 15miles before you should find you nearest petrol station.

@danfisher looks really good! should make a tidy profit if it comes to sell :)

Thanks man! had some offer to buy it from me the other day lol unfortunately it wont be for sale :tonguewink:

Also got some new bulbs to replace my silly array of xenon white, blue and yellow. Before: After the new sidelights and fogs:

Coilovers ordered should be here next week! Cant wait to see her sitting lower also getting the spoiler and door handles colour coded at the moment so that should be ready for next week when I also put the coileys on :) Need to get my new tyres and change my cambelt as I am 14,000 miles over...

@MarkCup do your cameras start running when you start the car or do you have to manually press record? p.s that was close!!

Would a mk1 front strut brace fit a mk2? Just making sure! Cheers!
