Or Belgian beer if you want to be pedantic ;)

You won't need any clearcoat . Just flat back the raised up paint carefully . 2000 grit should be ok in soapy water . Then you might get away with just polishing with megs scratch x .

Well now you've already touched it up you might as well wet sand it and polish it , you've nothing to lose . If you take it to a body shop they'll just respray the whole door , they won't piss about touchin it up .

You used Stella ?? :eek: I'd have used Heineken . " It reaches the parts other beers cannot reach " ;) Nice bit of in ingenuity , lol .

Always go in person if your gonna complain . Emails and phone calls are easily fobbed off . Just be polite and see how you get on .

Pmsl . Its the only time his wheels get wet , when he hoses em down :quiet:

Have you ever seen an old couple in a micra travelling too fast ? ;) If you pull out of a junction on somebody ( blind bend or not ) then you'll be classed as at fault , sorry to say mate .

Have a look on your oval plate .Then check the number against the paint codes . http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=112411

In your dreams , lol . Mine are srp'd , egp'd and waxed and they still need a brush and wax regularly . Have a look at Halfords for a suitable brush for your wheels . They only cost a couple of quid .

Fairy power spray then pressure wash them . Even if they are polished , sealed and waxed if you do enough miles the brake dust still sticks .

People have different views on what's the best for black trims . Personally i use WD40 , especially if there are white marks on it . Or Autoglym bumper care from Halfords and New Look Trim Gel from carwashandwax . http://www.chemicalguysuk.com/product_p/newlkk.htm

Like Fred said . Your pads will be getting low causing the fluid to drop hence the lights on your dash . It doesn't take much of a drop in fluid as the little float sensor in the cap only moves a couple of mm from top to bottom .

You coult try ringing a Renault dealers ;) :quiet:

^^^ Me too . 50/50 is a good wax . If your budget won't stretch that far try the xxx hardcore pastewax . Both from here : http://www.chemicalguysuk.com/category_s/2.htm

Your offsets et 35 , meaning the wheels stick out more than the et48's would . 15mm spacers sounds about right to me .

Don't see a problem with that dent for a good pdr guy . Its probably in one the easier places for him to work on .

Your speakers knackered mate . I had the same in my 172 , the cone was buzzing , when i held it it stopped . Get your money back if you can .

Put a cloth on your dashboard as well in case you drop any of the little screws , if one drops down the vent you've just added to the clio rattles , lol .

You'll probably find they are cheaper from yozzapsort than a Renault dealership . Genuine renault discs with the bearing already pressed in . http://www.yozzasport.co.uk/store/proddetail.php?prod=renaultsport_clio_172_182_cup_trophy_rear_brake_discs

It doesn't , but with it being its first service i wanted it to go into a Renault garage just in case they find any problems .

Cheers Maz :cheers: Arnold Clark in Warrington want £176 incl VAT . I still think its alot of money just to change the oil and filter and a few other checks , but it's a damn sight less than the £220 quotes i've had from round here .

^^^ From a dealers , only a few pence i heard .

A bit of an update for you Tom Tom . Got in the car , didn't start it and no key in the ignition . I turned the sidelights on/off/on/off . There was no beep as usual but when i turned on the ignition the auto lights kicked in as the garage is dark inside . So now you know thats how it works...

I'll take your word for it TomTom . I'll give it try like you said when i get the car out later .

I thought the 172 cup offset was et 38.5 ??

I'm assuming your not a new orange customer and that was renewing your contract with them ? I can't see any dolphin 35 plan with a free nokia 95 , 600 mins and unlimited texts :eek:

^^^ They always have them for sale . So if it goes up in price alot just keep your eye out for new listings . Or you could e mail them and make them an offer ;) They sell them on there website for £25 + p+p http://www.carbonmods.co.uk/catalogue.asp?cat=1

They are cheap abs carbon fibre look ones , not real carbon fibre like i posted

Pmurray who owns rstuning always gets alot of praise . http://www.rstuning.co.uk/

Nice one . Its the best way i've found to loosen the dirt and leave the car covered in lots of foam ;)
