chris... my old 4x4 was a bright, non metallic red and i loved it! its a really strong colour when its been cut/polished/waxed.

are you running the standard HU? the clio display will not show CD text, ive upgraded to an Alpine 9853r HU which displays both MP3 and CD text

my 9853R illuminated to match the "Clio Orange"

haha, cheeky git. ive had PM requests to do a batch and sell them.... i might consider it. or i might just be unique and copyright the design ;)

i tried that... couldnt sand it well enough due to the accuracy involved. Painting the numbers by hand was the neater option :)

very nice OAN, always liked you car. /Dan.

ah, thats what im doing wrong... im not lifting upwards! does it help with the window up/down?

you have to buy it from Renault. it comes with 2 aerosols: paint and laquer. all you need is the primer. Part code for 647 aerosol kit: X R77 11 172 132, £11.86 (£13.94) no copying now ;)

I did 2 coats of primer, then sprayed them in 647... then got a small pot of black acrylic and painted the lettering by hand. Took me a good hour to go round all the edges neatly. Then i put 3 coats of laquer over the whole thing. Im chuffed to bits with the result! :)

bump, someone must have done it :)

they're not as bling as my new 2.0l badges ;)

question... should i paint the little centre bit of the lock? i mean the bit you push in to open the boot?

:)

get me the spoiler please :D

oi... i own the copyright to that pic ;)

Right, i need to remove the external door handles... which means removing the whole door card from my 172. how do i do it? I've unscrewed all the screws i can see (including the one on the handle) etc.. and pulled the putty away around the bottom but the top of the panel wont budge! how do...

cool thanks... will save me starting it again if its fucked in the morning. Its getting damp out there so my bets is that i'll need to do something to it. Only had about 2 hours to harden :o

yeah they'll be sat in the warm for a couple of days first. only fitted the boot lock in a hurry for security reasons... if it needs re-doing in the morning then so be it :) and yes... more DIY articles, watch THIS space :)

its all worked well and the colour match is spot on. i ordered the paint in from Renault to be certain :) all ive fitted so far is the boot lock cos i didnt want to leave the tape on all night... and its too dark to fit the other bits now. im most impressed with my badges now they're...

waiting for it all to dry now :)

There's 1 screw holding the grab panel on into the boot... and about 6 plastic pop rivets. pop off the cover and then there's 2 screws holding the lock to the boot :) i'll go and take some progress pics... waiting for the 2nd coat of laquer to dry now :)

all this spam in my spotted thread :(

yeah he's just waiting for the laquer to dry now :)

haha, mitch i'll explain. during the night bart simpson broke into my car, removed the boot lock, door handles and 2.0 badges and is currently out in the shed spraying them ;)

another "sneak preview"

here's a clue... ;)

its in the shed!

It doesnt look pretty, but it does the job :approve:
