I do it the other way around to avoid any unwanted attention :)

Flat-headed screw driver covered with a soft cloth so you don't damage the paint; gently prise it open enough to get your fingers underneath and a firm pull towards you.

Wire brush & brake cleaner for that before refitting :)

13" :)

I didn't even put any copper grease near my carrier/caliper or pads at all this time after being advised it can run/splatter when the brakes are hot. Haven't had any problems with them so far and the braking is fine - fairly sharp I may add :)

Yes Galzzly, Vibe would be "noise" :rasp: Cheers Jamie lol I still have it!

I didn't have the plates either, then again I didn't have much pad when I went to change them lol :p

Yes that's them ^ Take the shims out! ;)

Mine :approve: Trev

The slider pins are where the caliper bolts screw into (rubber sleeve on them)

You can't forget the heat factor, baby! ;) XFAXILX

Should you need tracking checked after fitting new brakes?

All cars should pull to the left ever-so-slightly at 70mph shouldn't they?

I have used autosol and a bit of fine wire-wool then buffed off with a microfibre; when you lift the engine cover off you can see it's actually dulled instead of maintaining the shine lol :rolleyes:

Velcro & swap for shows/photos FTW! :D

Ok once you have your polished inlets done & fitted, what is the best way to keep them clean & shiney? :D

Ali is that easily removed, don't like that one too much :rasp:

Yes the 172 throttle body does make a buzzing noise when you have the ignition on. But you don't usually hear that from inside the car, even if the bonnet is open :S

French! :rolleyes:

You can get parts old/new from ClioSpares (Joshydee on here) easy to pay and no fussing about :)

Indeed - jump aboard and join us! :D

^ sssssshh! Bloody Clio's can hear you think these things! :rolleyes:

Man-up! ;)

Some people have taken the fan out, cleaned around it, put it back in and cured the buzzing :)

Check the AA logo my friend - I was in the house walking a trench into the hall while the car was away lol :p Will be getting involved more when it goes into the 172 as I'll be competing with it :)

Not the best pic but it gives you an idea of what you can get at, I hope :)

My encloseure is designed to take the sub both ways :cool: I prefer the sub arse-out as all the detail is on the back lol

That's a different story - looks class! :approve:

There's a pic in my LED dash thread off my dash off, I'll dig it out for you...

lol @ the Irish screwdriver! :D My driver's side one was well-stuck on when changing discs last week. Mate couldnt get it to budge at all so the club hammer + "stand back" worked a treat!
