I know its not a real F1, But vinyls were on car when bought from Renault, and the door one is missing as it needed repaired, cant justify the expense of a new vinyl, so will be taking the other door one off to, and just leaving the front & Rear as i like them.
I have a set of H&R Springs...
Been waiting on an update, one of the few i follow, the split on the HT lead def wont help, i had a set of Magnecor on my old car and causing no end of miss-fire, then threw the OEM ones back on and boom, problem solved!
Oh i forgot to mention, dont throw your old pads out yet, need them so you can push the caliper back against the new one so you dont damage the new one! also best way to clean the calipers up - i'll give you the dremel and a wire brush attachment then you just need some caliper paint and jobs a...
Right to start with i know its not an R27 - and i don't pretend it is, it has come from Renault with the F1 Stickers already on (Previous Renault Car)

Cheers for the heads up on the AG, that may be in with a shout too, always had AG products and cant fault them, and as you said much chaeper on Amazon than anywhere else i have seen it, INC eBay!
Like everything - cheaps as possible ha ha, although to be fair i will be collecting stuff over time, so its not so bad, my basket is sitting at £60 so far lol
Still to get myself a decent wash mitt, and also drying towel too, oh and iron x and some more billberry lol, the list can be endless :(
Just had a read over, i think i will prob go for the Red Mousse, The last thing i'll be needing is a wax, i know you get what you pay for but will prob end up with some PB Nattys Paste Wax? Whats your thoughts on the PB stuff?
I read your mind Sir :) got pads you recommend in the basket lol, i've seen that Red Mousse Glaze mentioned a few times, more research first i think lol
Yeah thats what i'd like, Been looking at getting some Menzerna Super Finish (PO 106 FA) - Still looking at the numerous Glazes etc, What would be Best for UR Paint?
TBH i just want to take most of the swirls etc out the paint, i would love to try my hand at wet sanding the thing, but i think before i even attempt that, i will go through a good few scrap panels!
Cheers buddy, been looking over at DW for a good while, but could never find out anyones experience, i appreciate without a pro assessing it that it could be anything really.
Just got to get myself some bits and bobs ordered, got a spare panel sitting and off i go and tackle the car!
For the Detailers in here,
What is the paintwork generally like on these cars, hard/soft etc, i know without someone seeing the car its hard to tell. But the general paint job on a clio.
Cheers
The differences between the 197 & 200 i am led to believe are the certainly the front end, rear end, steering, tweeked the gearbox, and also done some head work on them, hence being better low down than the 197. 95% of parts from the 200 will fit the 197. So for me IMO i could not see me...
I believe they only have to be the same size. Which in his case were, but on the same token every tester interprets the MOT regs differently, and in your case you failed it. (No i am not a tester - but have a fair understanding)
Hi there,
I can bleed brakes fine - not an issue on single nipple calipers - but as the Brembo 4 Pot has 2 nipple, whats the best/correct way to bleed them, i have searched through various threads/forums to see, and its conflicting.
On one hand i get bleed in this order, Outer Nipple - Inner...
Switch of traction controll and should help a little, it''l be because its cold, and if it does it when warm get it checked over. But they will say there aint nowt wrong with it, i mean i took my 197 up cause of the kangaroo effect and said to them about the update for the map, they never hada...
Re: Z4 - Perfect No More (But it's being fixed so it's all OK)
Forgot to add, as petty as this is, if you have centre caps make sure these get sorted too, i had to fight with my insurance to get them done, they said they were not part of the wheel lol!! Insurance companies can be really bad...
