Clio is now fully stripped to where I need it to be for the spray which will be in about 3 weeks time. It’s been good to get everything off and check everything over. As this has been a track car for around 17 years it has never been kept outside or suffered from salty roads and you can...

I thought this was another case of @Louis hiding in the boot. Glad you sorted it and it wasn’t.

I’ve ALWAYS wanted an RB so I think I’m scratching an itch. As it’s a favour from a friend I can’t go to mad on choosing a colour that is a b*****d to spray otherwise I’d feel like a c**t. I’m still open to suggestions and if you have an image to go with, my mind can still be changed.

I have one but don’t like to leave anything on charge all the time as my garage is at work so paranoid about fire.

I could do I suppose and kind of makes sense to do it now while I have the car in bits.

S4 002?

Just wondering what battery you guys are using on your 1*2? Mine is just for track so doesn’t get used all of the time. I’m having to charge the battery every time I want to use it for track days which isn’t a problem but not ideal at the same time if I need to move it randomly. Battery is...

54mm spacing on the b14s?

If you do decide to pull it apart I’d be interested in quite a few of the parts.

Got the bootlid off this evening. Managed to fiddle the loom through without to much hassle so no cutting was required. Almost ready for spray 😎

the one your sister left at mine?

Does this pull through the top of the bootlid or am I making hard work of it? I can pull on it but then the connectors get jammed up inside the cavity down the side of the bootlid. Must be an easy way?

I was looking for a connector block which would have made perfect sense either side of the grommet but unless I’m blind, there is nothing. Presuming I just need to yank it all out toward the top of the bootlid and then just re-thread it into the new one.

These were in my hand at one point.

Have been beaten by trying to remove the bootlid this evening 😂 Everything going well but can’t seem to be able to feed the cables through the grommets. Any tips?

Got the rear bumper off this evening after work. All bolts were surprisingly in place and intact so was a doddle. Rear lights to come out tomorrow and also the rear bootlid. My mate who I sold my previous black 172 still has the bootlid since changing to a. Fibreglass one so I’ve managed to...

Sharpy has sorted me out good and proper and asked for nothing for the trims. He has asked for a donation to a charity instead which I think is amazing so first person to comment a serious charity of their preference, I will donate to.

They seem to be the ones!

To be fair, I took mine off today (the rubber seals - not the inner plastic bit I need) and they aren’t to bad bar a slight tear near the rear corner which I think I can make work. Doesn’t look like much fun getting them back in though and having to run them down where the glass goes into the...

Yeah I seen this and then headed straight here to find used ones 😂

Did you have any luck with the these @SharpyClio

The strip down continues. Managed to get the poly windows out the front. Removed all the surrounding trim and expected to see some bolts holding them in but couldn’t see any. Gave the window a tug and found out they had been glued in 🤦‍♂️ Also got all of the orange vinyl strips off the...

Top man, thankyou. If anyone does have the external rubbers please let me know. It may be you have a spare door knocking around that you no longer need.

Perfect! Is that both sides you have? It’s like a stiff plastic. Let me a know price and I’ll fire you over some pennies

Hi guys, Car is going in for a respray in a few weeks and I’ve started stripping the track car down. What I need for when replacing is the window trim pieces for both driver and passenger side. Images below taken from another post. I also need the rubber gasket seals. Are these available...

Just stripping down the car for respray next month. Have got plastic windows in the front and started to remove the rubber gasket on the outside and I can see that it is going to split. Anyone know if they are still available from anywhere or what a solution is to replace?

Not yet lol. It’s on the list though

It’s happening. Car is booked in for repay next month so it’s time to start stripping bits off of it in preparation. The below pics are what I’ve taken inspiration from so will be similar but not exact. Won’t be covered in stickers and the roof will be black. Going to get front splitter and...

Any idea on when the track time tickets will be out on sale? I just don’t want to miss booking the full day on track that’s all. Think I will be camping from the Friday again as everything is mega expensive nearby so @JamesBryan may need to be on tent duty again 😂

always fancied an RB so am still drawn to doing it but I get what you are saying. Is already half white. Shows way too many rubber / tar / scuff marks after a track day.
