Ive been using cerakote trim coat wipes on headlamps and it seems ok, current ones still look decent a few months on.

Updates. Had my new Ar1's fitted to the Technomagnesio alloys a couple of weeks ago. Give the wheels a mega clean as they absolutely needed it. Cant beat fresh rubber. Bagged up and on the wheelstand, ready for another day. Its had plenty of use recently as a daily. Nothing to report apart...

Updates Kangoo headlamps were starting to yellow/uv fade on the top. Not the worst but longer you leave it, the harder it is to get them nice again. Hard to get a pic but on their way at the top. No wetsanding required, panel wipe, cutting compound / medium pad on da polisher, followed by...

Its the metal inside the seal corroding. Common issue on the older renaults.

Prob disconnected for a reason, they like to leak

The vyair resin vessels are mega for spot free rinse off. Ive got one on the never ending list of bits to buy.

As above id clean them up. Zinc galv spray also works well.

Cheers mate! The turinis were a random fb marketplace find. Lad said he had been struggling to sell them. Agreed about the steevs, much better in full black than diamond cut.

Shame to see it getting split up for parts, it looks mega. But totally understand its the only way to get a good return if selling.

As tempting as it is, the current game of car tetris is bad enough :ROFLMAO:

I think you have been pretty unlucky. I use a bluepoint socket which goes fully on and few taps with a hammer like @Adey. My dci head bolts were tight as fcuk and all came out. Arp do a stud and nut kit but its expensive and not really necessary on stock 172. Id just purchase a decent snap on...

Id bet brakes were also advisory :LOL:

Usual Kwik Fit advisories. Unless brand new car or lights it will have that down :LOL:

Yes right carry on from experience, very easy to bend when fitting.

Plenty breaking on the fb groups etc and on ebay. Found one in ten seconds. https://ebay.us/m/Oiog01

Buy a povo spec dash top and change the lot. Half hour job.

I always polish the lights first and use the ceracote for uv protection. Seems to last well. They are a nightmare to read. Only accurate way is to pull stick out on a cold engine and read the level. If you redip it, its half way up the stick

Nigh on impossible to overheat the plastic with a polish.

The problem is the drill attachment for final polish, prob as good as it gets. Doubt it would fail a test. Need a D/A or rotary with a couple of cutting compounds and different pads.

Defo want to fit xenons at some point and if available will go with the black ones. Is it possible to get new still?

Painful experience aint it, why renault designed about ten different dipstick types for k9k is beyond me. Had same saga with megane f4rt, all different. I got last box from Amazon in link below.https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07SHJVK4G/?tag=cliospnet01-21 They looked like a cheap thing but when...

Took it out for a test drive with Rstuner on to datalog and it works miles better than the forge. RsTuner. The forge was not totally s**t as it was miles better than oem, but it lingered around 30deg on boost occasionally going up to 40ish degrees so overall not great. The wagner in...

Cheers all. Well happy with them has transformed the look of the car. Fitted the Wagner intercooler today. Had this for ages but finally had some motivation. Pre start checks. Bumper off revealing old forge ic. Forge stripped off and Wagner ready to fit. Its a thicc boy as the intercooler...

Sump guard well worth having when lowered. I didnt realise how close they are to catching the sump on cambered back roads until recently.

Updates. One thing ive never been too keen on is the 19" steeve wheels on the 250's. I dont hate them but dont love them, not keen on diamond cut wheels and the non symmetrical/directional look of them. They very much remind me of some late 90's aftermarket wheels. The ones fitted are in great...

Updates. Snapped the original dipstick ages ago on the blue dci when i was doing a leakoff test. After buying several aftermarket shite ones listed with correct part number that were either incorrect length, incorrect fitment, crap quality or all 3, i finally found an oem ren one for sale (or...

Looks decent for the money, be a nice little project.

I would run Ds1.11 pads instead as they are loads better. 17" wheels might be a better option for track use.

Dug out the chip reader to do a clio 197 s3000 ecu immobilser virginize today. Its been a while

EfiParts in Runcorn would be my choice personally.
