here you go then mate, you did ask for a few pics so apologies for the pic whoring haha
see if you can get it this shiny ;)
the day you picked it up (last pics i took of it when i was waiting at the airport for you, not the greatest quality)
and finally some of my favorite ones...
looking good mate ;)
i found some pics i took of it on the day you came up and picked it up if your wanting them, got a few other really good photos aswell that i could post up on here/send if you wanted them ?
so what cleaning stuff out of the list i gave you did you go for then (apart from...
if Yozza lets us do the 172 exhausts aswell then i'm sure they will let us have a choice of all the systems that they do
i'm caught between the supersports and the race (i think the only difference is that the race doesn't have a middle silencer but also includes a decat in the price)
well keep at them and try and get hold of Ollie, like a lot of companies these days it's always better to phone so just keep trying even if it is frustrating mate, i'm sure Ollie will sort you out when you get hold of him
i ordered a set of discs and pads all round for my leon a few weeks ago from CRN and even though they sent out the wrong patterned discs at first they sorted it out and even went out of their way to help me
i have to say they do seem to have a couple of muppets working for them but if you get...
as Dan said when i got my old 182 (which Dan now owns) it had the 03/04 sat nav disc and didn't allow postcode searching, i updated it last year to the 07/08 disc and it then allowed up to 5 digit postcode searches but you 100% can't get full postcode search with the carminat system available in...
you can get the bumper off without the bonnet open but you have to leave the grille on and detach that from the bumper, i readon here someone then managed to get a screwdriver into the gap just under the bonnet and managed to get the bonnet latch open (i tried this when i got locked out but...
looks great mate, you can't beat LY, will need to keep an eye out for you about the town
not keen on the spoiler at all though, just too fussy and a bit chavtastic
did mine a couple of nights ago and it took about 3 hours all in
touchpad scrolling didn't work after i did it but you just need to reinstall the driver and it sorts it out (just incase anyone else comes across that problem aswell)
as i said mate he's going to give me a call but not heard from him yet, will give him a text tomorrow and if he can't pop round then i'm sure he wouldn't mind you popping in and he can have a look at your clio instead so he can get an idea about sizes
i'll keep you posted
it all depends on how much you are willing to do yourself really, theres been some great advice in the thread but in the end of the day if your too busy or cba and just want rid then that's your call (but just be prepared to cut your losses money wise)
imo it would be stupid not to get it...
the only thing is can you stomach paying out another £1500 ontop of what you've already spent on the previous rebuild and then as you've said before the gearbox is shagged aswell so theres a possible £2000 of work in total
just to let you know if your still interested, my pal is coming round to mine this week to have a look at the clio, size it up and give me a few options and prices
water build up inside the exhausts on 182's seems to be fairly common due to the design of them, they usually take a bit longer than normal to burn away condensation in the system on start up if its been sitting a while
not much point in prepping it yourself as the bodyshop will be able to do it no probs and won't take much off the price if all all if you do it
plus if you prep it and tell them just to spray then they will not take liability if the paint finish isn't perfect due to you prepping it yourself
Cheers Nick that's quality ;)
What manuals that from ? I had a quick scan through the F4R workshop manual from fastchips site before but couldn't see any lists/tables like that
