Yes it really is a windscreen out job but can be done with the old screen in place.
Ok update ..... ive been messing further and have got it on !
-Rip the old seals off - this is pretty easy just start from one end and pull carefully.
-Get the new seals out.
-Start with the top seal, from...
I bought a new windscreen seal kit as they were fairly cheap and my old ones were in really bad shape. I pulled the old one off no problem.
Im struggling to get the new one on and wondered if anyone else here had done this and if so how do you get the top windscreen to roof seal in place...
That has happened to me loads of times.
Get your self to argos and get yourself a cheap (probably s**t but will do the job) angle grinder for £15

then just cut the bolt head out, will be like a hot knife in butter. so so easy. oh...
Dont be tight , join up for the guide.
You should be able to look in the wheel arch and see a bolt under the black flappy bit that needs removing. Then remove the wheel arch liner screw. you can then carefully pull the bumper sides out and move it enough to get to the headlight bottom bolt.
Dont know if it helps but I bought gearbox oil the usual Elf NFJ 75W-80 for a 182 and found it was cheapest from Amazon by quite bit.
Sorry dont know what oil for a 1.2 though.
Ive found some xenon lights are easier than others, they dont all seem to have the same bulb retension mechanism. Even with the whole light sat on my dinner table I struggled with one, where as another one was a doddle.
??? All Turinis will have the same looking tyre - I doubt you would be able to tell the difference from looking at them if they had 195s or 205's (from the side atleast)
If you buy some 182/172 xenon lights then replacing them should be straight forward. You will possibly need to swap the adjuster cover from your old lights on to the new one if the connector doesnt fit, this will be obvious when you have the lights infornt of you.
You will also need the self...
The BG one is slightly expensive. To give you an idea I bought this one: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/bg-182-24000miles-%C2%A33800.752321/#post-10394393 for £3400
Its annoying how many cameras have microSD now. Its so nice being able to just pop a standard SD card into your laptop and away you go, none of this mucking about trying to find the adapter.
The first BG 182 looks really nice and would be my choice out of those. The second one - the inferno so called concourse one is way way over priced. I would only pay 3.5k for that...
My phone does this too. Pops up messages about traffic on the road I am on. Not eve supposed to be looking at a phone when you are driving so a bit pointless.
Front badge looks really good! Im not usually a fan of painted badges but that looks smart and subtle.
Do some close ups of the side bullets. I thought they looked good in the pics where you were spraying them.
I saw this car a couple of weeks ago on ebay and am sure the price has been reduced from when I saw it. Trevor is a top bloke and he probably has a few other clios in stock so well worth the trip.
The cheap non renault ones really are useless.
Was tempted to do this but others have said this fails too:

Ive got some new exhaust mounts on the way and want to try to make them last a little longer.
Is this the stuff to use to fill them with:
