    Removing grease from inside of alloy

    Salts not a cleaning agent . Its added to soften the water therefore giving more foam which attacks the grease , like you find in your 3 in 1 dishwater tablets . As said either auotglym engine and machine cleaner or fairy powerspray .Wd40 also breaks down grease and is good for using as black...

    Wheel Colour??

    Anthracite looks good on silver . Black wheels makes your tyres look dirty unless you regularly dress them .

    Windscreen crack

    When i had my window regulator sorted the guy who did it said that the windscreens on the full fats are £400 :eek: Doesn't your insurance cover the windscreen ? Most do and it usually costs around £50 - £60 excess .

    Sounds like a dodgy respray job . You'll probably need to get it resprayed .

    Spraying bump strips...

    2 cans of colour coat will be enough for your bump strips . And you don't need to sand down any colour coats unless you have any runs or blemishes . After the colour is dry lacquer it , thicker rather than thinner . Its a bit trial an error . If its too thin , it has a tenancy to dry with a...

    good download sites

    If you think bit torrents crap then your using the wrong sites . Peer 2 peer sharing was good back in the day before fast internet connections with the likes of kazaa , bearshare , and good old Napster . If your looking for films try www.araditracker.com but be warned , share or be booted .

    What tyres?

    I've used toyo T1R's and T1S's , never again . Absolutely shite in the wet . A tyre needs to be able to perform in the wet as well as dry imo . And that doesn't necessarily mean to say pushing it hard in the wet , but it needs to be able to grip in an emergency situation . Do you really want a...

    What tyres?

    The question is " were you happy with the Michelin PE2'S " ? If your answer is " yes " then stick with them . I can't fault em , good grip in the dry and wet :)

    Meguiars Scratch-X

    Use a folded terry towel , put a pea size blob on the towel and work the polish until there is nothing left . It breaks down to a finer polish as you work it and needs a fair bit of elbow grease but used properly it's very good on light scratchs .

    Shampoo Stopped foaming!

    Megs gold glass is alright , foams pretty well . But like you say Brand chemical guys Extreme Body Wash n Wax is where it's at for me also :) . Try using a different bucket or wash the bucket out with washing up liquid first .

    what colour looks good on black

    Anthracite would be my first choice , then silver . White will need cleaning everyday or two or they'll look crap , with black you'll have to keep your tyres clean and dressed or they look shite if your wheels are relatively clean .

    Just bought a Clio! Lots of questions

    Autoglym interior shampoo is very good for meduim to light soiling . Failing that Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner should shift it . Also get one the Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner Bottles and Meguiars Foaming Sprayer ...

    Indicator bulb type

    Read this post . According to ooze he paid £7.30 each . Then you'll need the bulbs . Cheaper from where i told you with the chrome bulbs that flash orange and just as good a quality as the Renault ones . http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=231717&highlight=renault+side+repeaters...

    Shampoo Stopped foaming!

    You mean the foam had disappeared from the bucket or car ? Grease has a habbit of making suds disappear . Try using a different bucket .

    Indicator bulb type

    Just get silvervisions for the front and back . If you get them from here you get a free set of blue sidelight bulbs with your order . I used the blue ones in the interior though as they are more white than blue . http://www.powerbulbs.co.uk/ I have smoked side repeaters like i posted...

    advice on painting

    Not if the colour coat finish is ok . Just apply a few good coats of lacquer now . You only need to sand the top coat or lacquer if the finish isn't perfect . 1200 grit should be ok if you do need to sand , personally i'd go for 1500 or 2000 grit though .

    halfords paint match??!!

    If you go to a place where the guy knows what he's doing he will be able to match pretty much any colour . When i wanted anthracite for my spare wheel i found nobody actually sells it , not even Renault . I left the centre cap with them and he mixed the colour to match the centre cap . Using...

    induction kits

    Yeah . I frequently sit there at rev the ass off my car , just to hear the IK noise ;) . Or maybe i acutally drive the car exactly the same as i did when i had the standard airbox and my fuel consumption has gone up due to more air being allowed into the engine and the ecu adjusting the fuel...

    halfords paint match??!!

    ^^^ I agree . I've just bought 2 400ml aerosols from a local car parts supplier that mixes paint , they always mix it spot on and only £7.00 a tin . Or try these . I think they mix all the paint for Renault touch up sticks and aerosols . http://www.tradeproducts.co.uk/paint6.htm
