Re: Third Time Lucky; Trophy #41 - UPDATE - steering wheel retrimmed Most of the info is here if you haven't seen it already: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?668329-Steering-Wheel-Re-trimmed Another update: after the Nurburgring/Europe trip she was in need of a bit of TLC. So, I...

Why didn't you take the Clios this time?

Both work on my Trophy. They have to be both wired up... on my 1.2, both worked sometimes and not others.

It is, I guess the more SMD/LED the better. Still, reflector lenses aren't designed for LEDs (or HID kits) so that's why they tend to look pretty gash. In my glovebox I have a 16SMD bulb. It's bright as f**k! I'd try some sidelight bulbs with a s**t load of SMDs on and see how they are. They're...

I've just bought a tin of Magic Tree Vanillaroma spray. I've got the air fresheners and they're awesome, definitely my favourite car smell but they don't last overly long. This should sort it :)

What happens when they disconnect the battery?

They're never going to be overly bright in reflector lensing. Most people just remove the sidelight bulbs (myself included) and just run Xenons.

+1! Also... no windows when you do specify the doors. I still think they're cool though!

Very nice, love the newer style rear lights on it :)

+1 on the BMW ones. They don't lift as well as the Renault ones but they do the job.

Why? It matches the wheel the best I've seen.

I just borrowed a spare off a mate and sent him mine. He doesn't have one to start with so can't exchange. I wouldn't say it was expensive, no.

You don't look at it when you're behind the wheel though ;) and would have much more fun driving the 200.

It's the same as Fastchip's performance map but it just overfuels over 4k causing the bangs. I had it for a week, then just went to the same map without the overfueling (the performance map). Agree that it feels much better though.

Re: Third Time Lucky; Trophy #41 - UPDATE - steering wheel retrimmed Yep it was done by snappy on here, the lad who used to do Arran's.

Really? I never noticed. It was done by snappy on here (the guy who used to do Arrans), brilliant service and managed to do this in a couple of days. Even met me with the new one so I could fit it straight away :)

Didn't he stop?

Oh yeah - I didn't even notice those :o Looks excellent so far though mate. Bet it sounds good too. Jealous!

Mine made 183bhp on RS Tuning's rollers with a standard ph1 172 airbox :approve: I've found that to be the best setup for power.

Absolutely horrendous before - leather had melted to the point it was soft and you could pick bits off with your fingers. Thimg grips weren't too bad but had started coming off. Felt awful to use. Really impressed with how it turned out, exactly what I wanted and exactly as I expected...

Laaaaavly.

Only way that Bimmer could look any better is with some gunsmoke Lamin-X on the clear parts of the rear lights :approve:

Cheers, thinking about this exact setup as my next brakes :)

Yep see loads of 'mature' drivers in 2.0 Clios :approve:

No help to you but just out of interest, are 2500s okay from cold or do they require a bit of warming up?

That's what stopped me buying one. Sounds lovely though.

Ballache. Hate de-icing.

Re: Third Time Lucky; Trophy #41 - UPDATE - steering wheel retrimmed Quite a lot has changed recently! Firstly, I took it around Europe and Nurburgring last weekend. There's a link to the thread here which contains quite a few pictures...

Nice! I'll give you a shout if I'm ever there again, would be nice to meet up and have a chat :)
