Unfortunately I need the car before I'm back in Birmingham, I've decided on Gloss Anthracite. Now I need to decide what colour to go for on the 2118s, I reckon black or shadow chrome...

Do you have any pictures? Also this is about cooksports not sportlines :p

So with an ET48 wheel and a 205/50r15 tyres you'd recommend not going more than 20mm front and 10mm rear?

Bloody love it! It was only a track day!

A 270 bhp r26 got past me on the back straight at Mallory, shame as he was barely any faster on the bends when he had r888 and I had proper road tyres. It made me bitter.

Sounds like you have it far too good :p I'm ordering up some spacers now but could do with some advice. With 205 50 r15 tyres on ET48 2118s what size spacers do you reckon I could get away with on my current sportline springs and the cooksports I'm eye balling at the moment? Reckon I could...

This :(

Here are the pictures, you can see where the paint stripper has been squirted and where it's run down. I reckon the bumper is sound because it was replaced. The theory is that the paint stripper ate away at the plastic which makes sense, the NS wing has always been a bit funny too in the...

Interesting build, I'll definitely follow this one. Valve to piston clearance should be fine due to the lower compression ratio you get with turbo charged engines. Doesn't hurt to double check though!

You win some internets! Did the bonnet and passenger door today, both ruined. It's definitely a paint stripper vandal job, you can see where the stripper has flowed and pooled. The damage is too extensive to fix with a rattle can in my opinion, I've done large chunks of bumper and wing before...

I keep trying to fill it with V-Power but it just disappears. Might try diesel soon.

My thoughts exactly, but it's got 52,000 miles and a good service history so I'll go for the wrap and run it for another few years at which point I imagine it will be worth 50 pence.

Update on the spray option: Phoned about a bit and the general consensus is they want to do the final prep as they want it to be their standard. And so for a full blow over £2500 and up. I reckon I'll just wrap it, I reckon it will come up well and at least it will be a bit more unusual.

Well it's being taken away from the track and becoming my daily. The 172 will become the dedicated track car for the family. The panels under the white are probably also ruined in which case I'll need the full spray. I'll phone back in a bit and hopefully one of the estimators will be available.

I thought a respray would be about 2 grand? I'll phone about a bit more though. Problem is I imagine the prepwork for a full respray is a bit more and I'm really pushed for time. Third year mechanical engineering is really hard :( Edit: Just gave the local place a call and they said normally...

Bad news guys, just been to a couple of wrapping places. If I de-wrap and smooth it down it will be a grand. Now to choose the colour, both 3m and either Gloss Anthracite or Matte Dark Grey. Both have a metallic fleck to them. Here's a few of the Matte Dark Grey...

What splitters are these two running? Might have to get one for the ph1. Both look awesome.

I'll phone around tomorrow, high hopes now though! I reckon if it's dark enough I could get away with it.

These are the ones I've found; Jimmy182's 182 http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?640997-Grey-182 Saltyhair81 or Russ' Clio http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?475695-Grey-With-Trinkets-Russ-29th-RS-Clio Problem is they're both painted and so will always be deeper and...

I've been thinking about the grey Jesus, really can't get over how good it could be. The old man's 172 is silver with orange details and looks immense but I reckon grey (matt or gloss?) would look even better! And so for an update on my Dad's car, Voo. Purchased in this state quite recently...

Cheers Jesus, the seats are probably my favourite thing about her. Shame there aren't many pictures about with options though jimmy182's Clio is fairly inspiring. We will see! She's in a fairly sorry state now. Zara's definitely having a bad make up day. I had to cheer myself up so I...

Both wings done and fucked, bumper is fine though. Decided to leave it there, don't want any more disappointment. I'll phone for some quotes on Tuesday morning, if it's cheap I'll just go all white with white 2118s. I'll get pictures up in a sec.

Well we were going to see what it looked like with a white roof because it was a possibility, unfortunately the carbon roof wrap pull a bit of the white roof up with it, that's why we don't have pictures of the various stages. Obviously in hind sight I wish I'd left it but I really wasn't a fan...

Tell me about it, gutted! Update: Bumper is finished and back on, front nearside wing is f**ked too. I reckon it's a rewrap because I'm poor and a respray will ruin me. I'm thinking bright orange with anthracite 2118s. Will upload a couple of pictures when I finish the two front wings. It's...

If the damage is much more extensive I'll rewrap, if it's just the roof I'll spray it. What colour would you guys go for? The front bumper; That's all for tonight, I'll carry on tomorrow though so stay tuned!

I'll see how the other bits look, my upload limit has been reached but the front bumpers pretty much done and is perfect. Not sure if I really want to spend the money on a rewrap, florescent orange with anthracite wheels is very tempting though! I've heard good things about auto-paint being...

Here she goes! And then the white layer came off; disaster! f**k! No filler so no idea what happened, it's been attacked by an orbital sander though. Maybe it got paint stripped by a vandal? If anyone has any back story or recognises the car please let me know. So the old man and I had to...

Evening gents, last summer the old man bought a 182 to play with as a toy (he crashed a Radical and decided he should learn how to drive). Naturally I was forced to borrow/steal it off him and today we started to de-chav it. The cars Black Gold underneath all this, or so I've been told. The...

I'm new to Clio's but my friend just sold his 205 GTI MI16 and is looking at 182s or 330i (E46). The prospect of him going RWD was making me properly envious but after a beautiful run down the A507 from the M1 to A1 I am firmly back in love. I was nailing the heel toe changes and was bloody...

I believe 10mm spacers involves grinding down the spigot rings a bit and then getting some 15mm hubcentric skimmed down.
