Think I'll give JEFF's a try; with no garage to park in, applying more than one layer of EGP is a bloody nightmare. Does it bond well with SRP?

Sixty something quid I think?

Ah, listed as 2000 plate (correct) with a 1390CC engine (correct). Ta for that -I'm legit after all it would seem. was beginning to think cut and shut there for a moment.

Hmm - still showing up as a RENAULTSPORT 172 16V, 1998cc, 3 Door, Petrol, Manual on the AA insurance quote site. I'll have to amend this.

Re: Supercharged V6 quality - what did the colour-coded trim cost all round?

Re: Supercharged V6 Ta - slightly off topic for a Supercharged V6 thread though - hehe. Was your old motor an S?

Re: Supercharged V6 Here she is - looks like the same colour to me?

Re: Supercharged V6 Nah, it's more bright green that light. on another note, just checked the AA car insurence website to see if the details provided by my registration plate included the colour. According to them, my 1.4 S is a RenaultSport 172. Should I be worried by that?

Re: Supercharged V6 According my renault dealership, who quoted me the colour from the registration plate, it's scarab green. Sorry if you have a problem with that - the avatar to the left is photoshoped by the way and not a reliable colour match.

LOL - just worked out what the Fear This sticker must relate too - the third exhaust pipe, which I presume is some kind of turbo waste disposal system?

FACT: A Clio Sport is a Clio Sport, whether you like it or not. Ask any Clio (S) owner to show you the registration document and it will be listed as a Clio 1.2, 1.4 or 1.6 Sport. The Sport reference is to the trim level and not performance related. RenaultSport owners can be right snobs...

Will there be free biscuits available?

Now that you no longer own it, I guess there's no need to obscure the number plate ;)

I think it's going to be a while before I warm to the new shape. Possible beccuase 75% of all 07 hatches from the likes of Renault, Vauxhall, Ford, Toyota et al all look the same to me. There's no real design distinction. Nice motor though.

I use water evey time. Scraping takes too much effort.

What's the best product for removing polish marks from the trip?

If your wheels take hours to clean like mine do, then it's definetly worth using AutoGlym Super Resin Polish and Extra Gloss protection products (thanks for the recommendation Rich). One you're done, the brake dust washes off without the need for anything else, as Rich confirmed above.

Just use a bit of common sense then really? I was trying to explain the benefits of PC'ing to my old man, who then informed me that he had two mechanical polishing machines and both were a waste of time, due to splattering. Not sure what makes they were, probably found them in a pound shop...

Failing to catch your nail in it is a good sign and it should polish out with a bit of effort. What polishes do you currently own?

When machine polishing, becuase of the fast rotary motion, is there a risk of dispersing polish everywhere?

nice work, now just apply some EGP to really finish it off nicely.

Only just noticed this: 5th picture down there's a silver clio in the background. Looks like someone has lifted the rear off the ground????

Top stuff, can't wait to see the finished result.

AG Tyre Dressing/Vinyl and Rubber looks great but last minutes, show use only here. ^ quote from Rich (dunno what happen to the apropriate formatting)??? From the products I have used to date, AG Tyre Dressing seems to last the longest. I apply it directly by cloth for the matt finish...

Mine have all got names: Jenner, Candy, Dixie, and on ...

Get yourself a set of lockable chrome caps from Halfrauds. My original set of valve caps were stolen within 24 hours of getting my car. These have so far lasted 5 months. Without the key, they just keep unscrewing but never come off. Kids steal them for their bloody push-bikes ffs.

Slightly off-topic here, but still relevant in a round about way. What's the difference between a PC (available from the US for about £150 that people on here often refer to) and the automatic rotary hand polishing machines you can get from Halfrauds for £50? I've given-up trying to hand...

Deffo a 182 I think, can't be 100% though as I didn't get a good look from the front.

what is it?

Oh really? Well now that sounds more attractive. Rich, you should get a percentage from sales I reckon. You probably do more to promote their products on here than they do.
