Up to you mate, I think it'll go well with the car (gear knob) black would look good but I can see it flaking off lol And thats the joy of a blank canvas! (Hose covers) I've seen some good blue on blue ones going off.

Lucky having a full respray! I'd love to work from scratch, especially on black. Keep us posted I'll keep my eye out for the respray (:

Gutted at the kerbing! Got any pics with your trims on? May need to invest myself. I'm liking that gear knob, don't paint it, shiz will just flake and chip and look terrible. Props to doing everything yourself. Only thing I can do is change an air filter hahaha

Another update: After much yellow loom showing up at my house I'm around 95% done with it, just two more wires to cover and that'll be that. Until then this is how it's looking now; I also bought this ages ago but wasn't sure on it, tried it out and I really like it :smile: blends in...

Right as some of you know I've caught the detailing bug and spent a small fortune on shampoos waxs sealeants clay glaze towels brushes and loads of other stuff etc etc. Problem owning a black car is the swirl marks. They're all over it. Now I know the basics of how to avoid as much as I can...

Cheers dude and yeah it is, don't know if I would prefer darker through as its a black car but OCD and all that. Not sure whether to use the complete centre console set up either like so; Hm

More again of a preview of an update, more conduit in various sizes have been showing up to my house along with yellow electrical tape to keep it all together. Not done yet still missing a few parts but this is what I have at the moment (also gloss fuel rail guard on); Slowly getting there...

Sneak update preview for some future updates. Ordered a few more in different MM sizes so should get a lot of if done. Truly getting Black & Yellow! Silicone hoses for the coolant will be ordered mid next year. Too much important stuff to do rather than an expensive cosmetic mod.

Same as me with trying and buying stuff lol, I'm after chemical guys "wet mirror finish" next but that's for next payday along with even more detailing stuff :tired: Any scrapyards near you? Plenty of clios in my local one to scavenge parts. Be lucky if you came across a 172 cup in one though...

Looks proper that does! Shiny in the sun but in the shade a proper slick clean blue :cool: did you use a wax or sealant on top? My new favourite thing to do is to waste products and glaze then seal it with a wax then glaze again lol, the last glaze step won't last long at all but whilst it...

My bad it was late last night.. Just realised KTEC do forge or Samco hoses, both the same right products right? Ones just like £90 cheaper, looks different, and ones called Coolant hoses and the other water hoses -.- Swear if left to my own devices I'd just buy everything :tired:

This is why I need to stop posting threads

Can't believe how badly you got done over by a stick lol. And yeah the only mods the car came with was a BMC panel filter, Yozza exhaust and K-Tec Coilovers. Oh and a fresh years MOT passed 4 days before I went to go view it haha :smile:

http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=3753&appid=2 This.. But in the colour of champions. (Yellow lol)

I'll give the custom idea a miss then lol and Luke yeah I found the coolant hose options but wondering if there's a water hose option. Don't want to come across stupid, but I already have so I'll carry on.. Pinky ponkys Dave?

Noob time.. I'm having a hard time finding a water hose kit in yellow. I'm only after it purely for cosmetic looks. KTR do them.. Just not in yellow -.- So this leads me down the alternate "can I do it myself?" route. So.. Can i? I'm thinking of this...

No worries mate :blush: and the car never came with the front ones, due to it being lowered so much they got rid due to rubbing, planning on maybe slightly raising it as it is really low. Fit them back in if they don't rub

Just nipped to local scrappy to get some better screws... Found this Quick message to @Luke... to see if he wanted any of the dash inserts for his Arctic; Been raided pretty well. Only managed to get front arch liners .. Bargain price of £5 all in :cool: I asked how much he sold the...

Edit: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/trophy-boot-struts.621918/ £15 a pair. Yeeeeah :cool: CS always got something in its old threads. Now just the screws :smile:

Haha my thoughts exactly, sounds better saying it was once off a glorious V6 which is now probably RIP. Does seem Mars Red but can't be sure. Here's it on-ish. Meanwhile I now have to source some shorter boot struts and better fixing screws for the Middle section as it catches on...

Update time! Just got back from driving a good hour and half away (to meet halfway) @JON FOZ for his Trophy/V6 spoiler :cool: Top guy and had a good chat! After a cup spoiler and abit of £££ lighter I'm now home with it: Just a generic black at the moment. Will get resprayed along with...

Awesome, I'll pm you at some point. Also is there a site or know of a site where you got your cross overs and sound deadening? Just took some pics, I wouldn't 100% them for sure but this is what I came out with front and back and what you're looking at. Need any more horizontal / vertical...

i feel your pain on the headlight situation dude! i bought a set of 172 headlights for my rep, dont know what happened between me buying them but the passenger side one has proper dribble ass stains on the inside, ruins the look completely. given up on cleaning the front end for it, all about...

I'll have to live with that then. Be the resident dodgy man on CS and only pop up on Vandalism threads like "I know that area.. It sucks! :smirk:" I'll stop taking this thread off topic with my dodgyness and be dodgy elsewhere. But seriously, keep us updated on what happens! and take me off...

Haha nothing dodgy! I've always lived in nottingham, born here. when coming back from the city centre I go down the same route to get home. Seen this car on that route, put it on a spotted thread. Looks awesome being the only racing blue I've ever seen :cool: But just saying if it was outside...

No way mate! Is this the one I usually go past parked outside in Nottingham? Car was and still is mint. Dent should pop out? Seen some crazy videos on YouTube proper dent man getting rid of some would be impossible tasks. If it is outside the Notts area then sadly I have to agree the area...

Yeah dude I'll probably PM you when I get a proper chance to noob my situation out to you haha. I've asked my brother and he's basically just said cut wires off the old plugs and attatch to new however I've read the xcrovers are built into the clios normal tweeter so.. All confusing I'll get...

Awesome dude, I might need your help, also bought an aftermarket speaker and tweeter set up, after market tweeters don't plug and play lol, more long ass wiring I don't know what it connects to hahaha. You're the man I the know as you've already done it :wink:

Lmao I thought someone would mention the huggies, tis just a box we use to store things.. Obviously haha. I bet you're catching some detailing bugs from seeing all this stuff on here haha. You getting the cambelt done by a specialist? I would if I were you (but I'm not so can't say anything...

Yeah it's purple haze, I'll give it a blast! Also.. It just gets worse.. New delivery today.. - Microfibre wash. As I have so many dirty ones now it's getting silly. - Foaming head (for the APC) - Giant waffle weave for glass. - Large detailing brush for engine bay. - Another premium...
