ok, after having them posted from mainland UK to Dublin, then hand carried to Johannesburg, then flown cargo to Cape Town, they are finally here - clio rubber floor mats...
anyways, theres these 2 tabs on the ends, do I cut them off, cant really see a purpose for them?
oh, forgot to mention, we got water restrictions, so cant wash cars with a hose any more, have to use buckets, takes ages to get rid of all the soap (most of the time I just use the hose anyways)....bloody annoying.
used my Meguires NXT generation car wash the other day for the 1st time, really seems to work better than other stuff I have used in the past, just feels more slick when sponging.....dried it off with that cotton wipe of theirs, expensive but works geat too.
never gonna skimp on car care stuff...
god its a sad day whe you have to choose a car based on the insurance premium.....glad I dony live in the UK, hell you dont even have to have insurance here.
I bought my clio new, and have never had to take it anywhere near a roadworthy place in 3.5 years.......:)
same pic as before but with new grill, not the greatest, but the only one available here in SA other than the waffle type. It was chrome, but that looked sh*te, so had it powder coated.....so it cost twice as much everyone elses.....

...or kilometarage (warning: that is not a techincal term)just curious, my Mk2 1.6 is hitting 80 000km in a day or two......was even contemplating getting a new Magane that they have on special...but really still like my car more tha anything else (in my price range)so whos over 100 000km (62500...
j-jay, thanks very much, they look just like the one in my swiss catalogue, however the part no. mentioned is 77 01 416 253 for 3-set and a 4 set ends in 254.
James above mentioned the number ending ...258. Is the matt above ending 258 ?
sorry about all the questions about flippin mats...
ok, my mate has checked, they dont keep stock of that part no. in ireland, but they order from UK, Eur 32.80 for the set (incl. postage to dubiln)
think I will order them....
do they look oem, as in well fitting like the carpet ones ?
for a mk2 phase 1, 3 door.
thanks James, Ill try Reno in Dublin (they dont import any mats in SA, they have some local shoddy ones made locally, I was lucky to get navy blue 172 mats with mine, but need to preserve them, so rubber ones er required for the rainy season)
James, I couldnt ask...
anyone know if you can get some renault rubber mats for clios. I have a catalogue from a few years ago and they have some in there, do you know if they still keep them in stock in the UK ? part number ??
need to get some posted to me asap for winter (s.hemisphere ;))
finally, upgraded the fronts, lightning audio splits, was worried about the dash etc. (mk2 ph 1)
guy at the shop hadnt removed a clio dash before, so we both went at it blind, must admit, Im the most paranoid guy around regards my car, but the dash thing is no problem, so if anyones been...
how can this be easily done, do you have to have 2 x pre-outs on the HU, or does the 2nd amp connect to the first somehow ? I did a search and someone mentioned something about a splitter or something....
....or do I just try and sell my 2 ch amp an buy a 4ch one ??
....will a 2nd amp affect...
do you think I will actually notice a diff if I change the factory rear 5.25" (40w rms) sepakers with some LA Bolt ones....unamped off std headunit. Bear in mind the factory speakers are over 3 years old.
must be honest it fell over the other day, opended the boot and there it was (shock horror) funny tho, it conincided with a day that my girlfriend had the car.....
fits snug though, would velcro make much differnce ?
