I was doing some work around the engine bay and noticed that my headlight cluster was moving around. Took off the rubber seal (which I've not lost :() and pulled the adjuster unit off... Usually the black ball disconnects only but when I pulled it out I noticed that this wasn't the case...

Weather was nice and the missus was at work so cleaned the car and took it over the road for a few pics. :) Please see project thread for more info on the car. Any comments? Flickr link

I'm at work bored so I'm typing this out.. It may be a boring read as I'm kinda just whacking the keyboard but for some of you it may be worth a read. :) I hope to add more to this as I go along. Please let me know what you think - even if it's bad (which I expect a lot of lol). Over a year...

Would like to get the lower grille to match but know it doesn't fit. Has anyone managed to modify one to fit or think it'll be easily done? If need be I can get pics of the grille and also the bumper. Oh, and I don't have a lower grille myself yet.. Matt.

I read that once you take these off there's no way to get into the car? I thought it would leave a cable behind and you could just pull the cable? Want to colour code today...

Really love these exhaust... does anyone know a rough price on how much it would be to have one made up? Would I be better finding a local exhaust place or take a trip to one we get discount at/order one from k-tec.. Matt.

Just went out to my car and was playing around with it whilst on the phone and noticed that my boot wasn't locked. Last couple days I noticed that when locking it didn't sound as loud and it turns out it's because only my doors are locking. Anyone know what to check? Guessing a link somewhere...

Has anybody made their own iPhone dock yet? Have some ideas and looking to make some moulds this weekend for a fibreglass dock. Looking to have it above the center console. Just wondering if anyone else had done it or would be interested if I were to make a few (obviously depending on how it...

Was driving to work and saw you drive the other way. Spotted the car a mile off and the number plate finished it off. Didn't get a chance to look for sticker but I've seen the car on here before. Was driving past Guildford Spectrum, you were going towards town.

My last attempt didn't look good enough for me due to a mismatch in colour so I'm looking to spray my parts again next week. It's gonna take forever to get the paint off with paper so was wondering if anyone has used a paint stripper of some kind to get through the lacquer and spray before...

Was looking to replace my PH2 1.2 with a PH1 172 but insurance is probably going to be too much to do this. Was considering replacing it with a 1.5 diesel instead.. either the DCI 80 or DCI 100. Before you say "if you want performance get the 172..", it's not performance I'm after.. well, as...

My insurance with Churchil runs out at 12 so went to Bell and got a quote, then paid for it. Last year: £1835 This year: £871 Please with that. I know it was overpriced in the first place but considering I was also getting quotes in excess of £4000!! Edit - I'm 19 and it's a 1.2 :s

Was in Devon this weekend visiting family and popped to the pet shop before going down to the (cold) beach. Saw a nice silver PH2 172 at the lights just infront of me with an old style cliosport sticker. Might have seen me in your mirrors considering the front end of my car is covered in...

Was looking at those spring compressors just to put on the back of the Clio for when I take the seats out (so it'll look "normal" again rather than too high). Are they actually any good or would I be better off spending a little extra and getting some 2nd hand springs?

She's got a quite nice Golf and it's got some scratches in it. She tried putting her bike in the car and put a hole in the bumper some how.. Heard she didn't want to tell her husband so she went and got some quotes today. Just overheard her on the phone saying "Just got some paint from VW and...

I'm fed up with using rattle cans and would like to try having a go with the bigger stuff but I don't know anything about it. What's required? Air compressor + gun + tub of paint? I know it's not gonna be simple but just want to look at prices of cheap equipment to help decide whether I want to...

I've worked for an Apple Premium Reseller for nearly 3 years and only just been told about ASTO (Apple Sales Training Online). Started it yesterday and currently in my 3rd hour of doing the courses and almost on 3rd level (Apple Product Professional). Anyone else doing/done this? (I'm bored...

Just went outside work and noticed this in a space there. Worked here nearly 3 years and never seen it before but I'm sure I recognise the plate. Anyone here? No CS sticker but worth a shot...

Last time I took the rear of my car out it looked stupid as it was high in the first place... Does anyone know roughly (or exactly! lol) how much of a difference it makes to the height? Reason being I'm looking to get slightly shorter springs in the back and stripping it again so it looks...

Looking to get a sport bumper soon but was wondering if they are differently sized at all due to exhaust... Currently I think my exhaust sits a little too low and too far out. Is it likely that swapping for a sport bumper will still have the same problem or do they sit lower, further out, etc...

It's been a year already and my first MOT is due very soon. I was planning on getting my new exhaust done this weekend (including a decat) so I need to get the MOT done before then. Before phoning around does anyone know if it's easy to get an MOT for the same day?

My car doesn't have an alarm and I'd like one just for peace of mind really. Not bothered about it lowering the insurance so a cheap one will do fine for me. Anyway, question is... Could I buy a 2nd hand alarm from an RS and wire it into the 1.2 with my key working to set the alarm or would I...

Obviously considered (and still considering) buying a 2nd hand cat and either smashing the insides or getting a mate to cut it weld some pipe but wondered if there's anywhere I could get one made from scratch? I've looked for exhaust places near to me but none seem to suggest they would make a...

Got this in the play.com email and ordered one. Could do with handsfree and the fact that it's solar powered (and cheap) helps. http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/5748021/-/Product.html?&P36=E4WEK2 Looked at a few reviews and the only bad point is that it would attract thieves, but it can...

I really want to either modify my current car (well, continue modifying it) until it's perfect and exactly how I want it or get a 172. I learnt to drive in my brothers PH 172 so I know exactly how powerful they are (I was very dissapointed when I got my 1.2 lol) but I also like the idea of...

Another bulb has blown (last time I buy the expensive ones.. £25 each in Halfrauds!) and when replacing it with a cheaper alternative I accidentally unclipped the adjuster. This is the third time I've done it but I couldn't get it back in quickly. Is there an easy way to do this? To confirm...

I've seen a few people with this on the forum but can't find the topics for them. I was wondering how I would go about putting side light bulbs in my fog lights so that I could have them on (not necessarily always on by the way...) without blinding other people, just so there's a little bit of...

I'm looking to strip my rear once my car's lowered and then do a false floor in the whole back with 1 or 2 inverted subs at the back. Has anyone done this in a clio that could help with designs/positions? It'll either be 1 12" or 2 10". Matt.

As the group buy never happened and I don't fancy chopping up a cat, where could I go to get one made up? I'm not sure if I could go to any sort of performance garage or if I need an exhaust specialist? I'm near Guildford if that helps.

Months ago I got my sub in and every single panel rattled. I sound deadened the rear panels and will be doing the front doors this weekend but the main rattle is coming from the boot when the bass hits. Is there anywhere in particular I should put the sound deadening to stop it? Matt.
