This locking feature has caused me endless annoyance when picking people up. Luckily I haven't managed to encounter any problems like this haha atleast you got a spare though!
Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
This actually looks pretty good, The carbon wrapping seems a little over the top on everything but the quality of it is some of the best wrapping i've seen, nice work. I think with the splitter it looks soo much better.
pretty sweet mate :)
Edit: You said you got the...
Not that I have much buying/selling experience with cars but I think if there was anything big like a dent in the bodywork or chip in the windscreen etc. then I would sort that out before selling but for small chips and scratches its kind of expected on a car that isn't brand new so I wouldn't...
My 1.2 seems to do this too? although i think it may be something to do with the sun roof.
going by the other replies I think its something clio owners just have to deal with lol
hmmmm true, my grandad used to work in a body shop/mecahanics (on the mechanics side) and he seemed to think he knows what hes doing lol but yeah i think i might get a quote for everything first then depending on how much it is i'll see.
Oh right haha well yeah I think me and my grandad might take a crack at the dent in the rear door with a panel beating hammer but i'm definately getting the bumper sorted by a professional and i'll probably end up getting a new splitter too :)
Yeah i know thats why i asked here lol but eurorob was saying 'why not do the simple sensible thing and simply let him take a look at the car and let you know streight rather than making this post and getting advice from people who dont have anything to do with the trade, and end up getting...
Yeah true, is there anything i could put over it? i know in some cars they have like a thing you can slide across it that stops it condensating (is that the right word? lol)
and yeah the backs just cold not wet or damp
Wow that looks amazing, not too keen on 500s but abarths look soo much better and for some reason i really like that steering wheel haha sweet car mate :)
Yeah I saw that thread but wasn't sure if the advice would be different because my sunroof isnt actually leaking really, and I just checked the car and nothing seems to be wet or damp at all. The sun roof is absolutely covered in condensation but the seats, floor, pillars all feel cold but not...
well as Im not in the trade either I had no idea whether I could do anything with it and I was just trying to save some money but ill get it looked at by my mates dad, cheers for the advice.
Hi, I tried searching but couldn't find anything specific to my problem which is....
.... I got in my car tonight to come home and outside temp was ~1c and as you would expect my car was fairly cold but since i bought it there has been a horrible damp smell in it and i noticed the sun roof was...
Very true so would I. But at the same time I also think its always good to try something yourself ... maybe I shouldn't start with something this major though lol
I'll get it done properly :) getting a quote from my mates dad soon if she ever rings him...
Ouch that must suck :/ but hey atleast you got a place to get it cheaper haha
And yeah thats what i was afraid of lool :( I'm getting it looked at hopefully some time in the next week
Yeah I don't know bout the hub caps, I prefer them without but it does look abit like i'm too poor to afford hub caps? lol so yeah i'll put them back on and colour coding is next on my list of things to do, you know where i could get an aerosol can of renault paint?
Think the wheels look absolutely perfect mate, fit the car soo nice and I like the tyres too, the white writing gives them a proper racey look and I agree with the calipers being black the yellow is kind of clashing with the wheels. The carbon wrapped stuff looks good too, pretty nice for such...
wow thats pretty decent, i've heard halfords mix paint in any colour code you need but i'm kind of dubious as to how well it would match? and how much it would cost?
haha yeah erm well i'll have a word with my mates dad about it and if i need to do it myself you guys know anywhere to get ready mixed renault colour aerosol cans? other than renault dealerships because im not made of money lol
thanks
....oh dear lol
Reckon i could just sand down the front bumper and then spray it with renault platinum aerosol? and cant i just bend the dent out in the rear and use a touch up stick or something?
I know i might sound like i'm tryna do things on the cheap but I'm only a student and don't get...
Ok cheers i'll try T-Cut and my mates dad is a panel beater and body work repairer so hopefully he'll be able to do something with it on the cheap :)
What do you mean by better pics? closer or further away etc.?
Was tryna find a thread about your car yesterday haha looks really nice mate. I really like it, I agree with the OZ rims though they'd look really decent in black or dark grey. I'm thinking about wind deflectors for my car too, quite unique on clios but still looks pretty decent. I think you...
Hi all, As some of you may know I got my 1.2 5 door expression this week and it had a bit of damage around it but I thought hey its worth a try to sort it out but i'm not entirely sure how to fix the problems. Theres only really 2 major problems I'd like to get sorted, firstly the previous owner...
Ok so today I went to my mates lockup to work on his Lupo with him (more like just look busy whilst he does the work) and get some pics of the cars.
I also took my hubcaps off and to be honest i think it looks alot better with steelies, especially black ones even though they need a respray. It...
Haha yeah ill buy it for 30 quid :) you want me to bid on the eBay auction or what? :) if ya do mind sending me the link as I doubt id be able to find it on there Lool
oooooh right i get you, I was thinking wouldn't it fail its MOT for no side lights but yeah i see what you mean. I think i'll leave them in though, seeing as i passed my test last week and I only had the car like 3 days so far I need all the help i can get in the way of vision on the roads haha...
