Agree that Tar Remover is a good shout. With regards to polishing, you’re not going to achieve much by hand in terms of correction so unless you have a machine and know how to use it, I wouldn’t bother. Polishes that appear to make a noticeable difference by hand are largely full of fillers...

Either will be fine. All depends what kind of finish you like. Personally I don’t use waxes anymore but that’s just my preference. I tend to do the following: Wash Decontaminate Clay Wash Machine correct IPA wipedown Top with a Si02 spray such as Carpro Reload or Gtechniq C2V3. But for...

Crack on yourself. Its straight forward enough and unless you're using a very very aggressive clay, you wont do any damage. Far more rewarding when you stand back and admire the fruits of your labour. There are 2 absolute golden rules to using a clay bar: 1) Use plenty of lube and keep the...

Lovely seats and great install, its just they seem to wear faster than a set of F1 Super Soft tyres. A leather set would be lovely :)

If you’re careful you can heat plastic up and the oils will come to the surface. That should rejuvenate the colour and lose the milky pink look.

Pretty sure its a safety feature for them to be red in all vehicles. You could however hit them with a heat gun and return the original glossy colour

So this is as good as I think I can get. Ford moondust silver over a black undercoat with dark anthracite decals. I think it’s pretty much bang on as close to the OEM 182 gear knob insert as I can get.

Still not convinced on the new gear knob top. It doesn’t feel quite right with the embossed letters. So playing with silvers to try and replicate the OEM Renault shade for the 182. I’ll add a decal to this and lacquer it in.

LMAO, sorry mate, not going down that route. Shes great, however the car is crap. Built on the same line as the last generation Ford KA (yes it was built on the Fiat line) its deffo up there with one of the worst ive driven.

My motherinlaw has an Abarth and its absolute toilet. Crap ride, poor steering, awful handling, poor seats, gutless engine and crap build quality. Id go as far as saying its one of the worst newer cars ive driven. Style over substance, as without doubt its a great looker in the pearl white with...

I've just fitted a set of those brackets to mine. Really nice job hes got done on them. I dodged the broken studs too :)

Just buy some new ones then. ? You get my point though lol, everyone wants everything for sod all these days.

Great car OP, well specced with nice bits and well finished. Wishing you well in competition and hope the hip is on the mend. :)

Keep telling myself, it’s just a daily mate. ???‍♂️

Tonight’s job, Update the exhaust brackets with some newly fabricated stainless items and fit the PhillipM honeycomb exhaust Bush. The mounts are a known point for corrosion and are NLA from Renault. When they were available they were apparently £110 a piece and the 182 needs a pair of them...

Wow!! I signed up after your first post, but that's mega. Are you running a business through it? :D

Never heard of it, but thanks to you guys for bringing it to my attention :)

I've already bought new Cup dampers which are waiting to go on. I thought if i make that decision quick then i wont be tempted to stray. Yeecups car does look the absolute business though i have to say. The R needs tyres, so they would have to wait anyway :D

Cheers, i saw those Karl, however they are DOT 2018. That could be anything from Jan 2018 to December 2018, think id really rather a fresh set.

So tempting to fiddle though. Its supposed to be my sensible car :D

Ladies & gents, Anyone know of any deals on some new Cup2s going at the moment? Mine are on their way out for road use. Black Circles is the best I've found so far: 235-35-19 = £198.95 265-35-19 = £262.09 Making a set of 4 £933.58 inc £11:50 delivery. Worth asking incase anyone can help :)

Sits so well, what suspension is it on? Looks absolutely perfect.

I’d be interested to see the quality of finish on some of these cheap jobs though. Anything less than £180 a set of 16s sounds bloody cheap to me.

Quick google around your neck of the woods brings up these folk. Have you asked them? https://www.alloywheelshereford.co.uk/our-services/ https://www.leominsterpowdercoat.co.uk/wheel-refurbishment/ http://www.grindnshine.co.uk/portfolio.php

Well we have never been seen in the same place at the same time :D

Never had an issue with NS2Rs in the wet, surprisingly good in my experience, far better than expected. Just drive to the conditions. Daily drove them for 4 or 5 sets when i first had the car. Want s**t in the wet, try a Michelin Cup2. :D Best all round street tyre in the sizes available is...

Happily married with a daughter mate. Plenty of modified black Clios in Essex, so the stand out feature was the young lady driving it.

Some of us are now mate. ??‍♂️
