I wasn't overly impressed tbh with the wash mitt from serious performance . It was thick and very soft before use , but seem to go very thin when loaded with water .
I prefer the wash mitt from carwashnwax .

How much and where from ? I got 2 off ebay for £8.50 delivered . Also used these , just as good but alot cheaper .I've only used them to apply polish not remove wax , i use a mf cloth for that .

^^^^Pmsl . Don't be put off with the negative comments from some members on here mate . Some people read or hear something and think thats the be all and end all , they're never open to new suggestions or products . If certain people on here said the moon was made of cheese quite a few people...
If its the same as the anthracite 182 wheels its 205-110 ixell paint . But you can't buy it in aerosols or from Renault .
I used rover storm grey which was a 99% match . Fred says audi nimbus grey is a match .
Sounds good on tickover :) Wouldn't mind a miltek myself when this exhaust drops off , lol . Is it me are is there only fumes comin' out if the right hand side ?

Ouch ! Not sure how much bonnets are , but i would imagine they aren't cheap . You might be as well trying to source a second hand one and get it sprayed . It might not be easy though as most written off clios seem to have suffered front end damage .
Give renault specialist breakers a call ...
Sorry for taking the thread slightly off topic . If you get no luck in here with your search for a 197 you could try on here instead :

The k+n apollo is a universal filter . I took mine off because it was choking the engine , the surface area of the apollo was smaller than that of the standard panel filter . With my 182 running the apollo the engine eventually cut out , it also lost the 5k kick and i had to be towed home with...

I would say the vast majority of people want an upgraded airfilter to give some kind of proven increase in bhp , then you'll always get some people who don't mind sacrificing a few bhp if it sounds better / louder .
What gains did you actually see with the VForce on a clio 172/182 ? Honest...
Course you can raise it , lol . There's a handle down the side . it goes up , it goes down , lol, thats raising it . Plus its slides backwards and forwards , fcukin' fantastic these froggy cars ;)
Your probably on the wrong forum lol if you want anybody to give you good feedback on the cooper . Some people seem to think the 172/182's are the be all and end all , lol , almost supercar bracket ;)
Imo they look good from the outside , not keen on the interior . Each to their tho' eh !
No difference in performance . Same engine with a different exhaust manifold . I went from a 172 to a 182 , i find the cup suspension slightly better and the Michelins better than the contis , other than that . Fcuk all difference tbh .I'm not 100% sure but with it being a cup it " might " not...
You obviously know about 172's having one yourself . 182 is the same car basically with the exception of different wheels , twin exhaust etc ....
182 over the cooper for me anyway .
^^^ PMSL ;). Teflon or ptfe ( Polytetrafluoroethylene ) is used in lots of things from frying pans , car polish , lubricants , ptfe tape . Tbh i don't think you'll generate much interest on here , especially with all the cleaning geeks ;) You've got people on here who drive their cars , then...
Thats pretty fine stuff tbh mate .What are you sanding ? 2000 grit is good enough for a final sanding .
Try ebay or a local bobyshop suppliers .
I bought some 2000 grit off this seller on ebay , but he only seems to have 1500 at the moment ...
