Re: Which model Clio do you prefere and why? I experienced problems pressing the damn thing, it was like kicking a lead brick!!! Wasn't mine though so I didn't care.

Ah right, I must be reading it wrong. Keep the bullets as they are then.

You're having your side strips sprayed silver even though your car's blue, doesn't colour coding mean spraying them the same colour as the car? If you sprayed the strips the same colour as the car then the bullets will look spot on. Don't get wrong it's your car and you can do what you like...

Re: Which model Clio do you prefere and why? I like different models for different reasons. The first Clio I ever drove was a 1.8rsi, compared to what I was use to driving at the time it was like being shot out of a cannon, I also prefer the shape/styling of the Valver/Williams. A few years...

Your camera broken or something? Pics of you looking chuffed next to it.

0/40 5/40 10/40 fully synth. Most use 5/40. Not meaning to sound snotty or anything, but the search bar at the top is an invaluable source of info, before I post questions I always do a search first because it's more than likely been covered before. It just saves waiting for a reply, which...

Jesus, is he not back with the thing yet? They must be taking stool samples or something!! :S

It looked loads better before the re-spray apart from the interior, who in their right mind ticks the box that says dog sh*t brown?

Yep in this game, money = quality most of the time.

£40 quid for 1000w lights, that's one hell of a good price, maybe a little too good imo. I've never heard of that make but to give you an idea of prices of lighting kits, my Bowens 500s cost £1200, that's 3 500w heads, 3 reflectors, 3 tripod/stands, 2 brollies, 1 soft box. But they're daylight...

That's because it's defeated me. :( I save those to write my invoices.

Lol, next time i'll just rub my own sh*t all over it, it'd probably look better than it does now.

It's got to the point where I don't think it's worth the effort, I mean it's only a 'Clio' badge, after i've re-sprayed it I think i'll just leave it at that and not bother lacquering it. I'm not spending another week pissing about just to have it ruined at the end. In future what lacquer...

Well that'll be the problem then, rattle cans are f*cking impossible to use without accidentally blasting the b*stard.

One coat a day, 2 primer, 2 paint and the first coat of lacquer just went on and f*cked it all up.

Right I just sprayed the first coat of lacquer and it's basically dissolved the paint off in places, I can see the primer coat around the edges. I mean WTF? After it's dry i'll have to strip it start again for the 3rd time. :mad:

Ok, i'll have a look tomorrow, see what I can find.

Where's the engine earth and what does it look like?

That looks amazing. If I ever become a high roller i'll get the Clio wrapped in a similar colour, probably Nato green.

Bloody typical, I had a mobile battery place come out last time and fit a new one that's under a years warrenty, but i've lost the friggin' recipt. :dapprove: Cheers for the help lads, i've got jump leads in the car, so if it happens again i'll blag a strangers car to start it off their battery.

Cheers maate i'll have a look, if i'm lucky then it may just need tightening, i'm going to get it booked in at a local Renault speialist, but I just wanted to check if it's something I can fix before I go spending money. It just wasn't having any of it this morning, but then suddenly fired up...

My car's having problems stating and i'm now pretty sure it's the battery earth, wouldn't start this morning and got the clicking noise (starter motor?) and dash lights flashing. When it finally fired up the dash clock was reset to 0:00, the battery is fully charged because I checked it the...

Lovely car that, great location aswell. Renault diamond needs a coat of satin black to match the wheels imo, but that's just me being picky. ;)

It's not often that aftermarket wheels look good on 1*2s but those are spot on, i'm also a big fan of all things anthrasite. :cool:

What wheels are they mate? They look a bit like VAG wheels, they really suit it.

VW Caddys that look like this, I know I shouldn't but I do. There's one i've seen driving round Coventry that's as low as low can be and just pure rust, I really like it. :o

Well that's certainly different, whole car would look mental in that colour.

So by limited edition they mean a few stickers and some yellow bits? Money well spent. :S

Nice car for an 18 year old but please be careful mate, if 182s had been around when I was 18 i'd have killed myself within a month, at 18 I was getting hammered down the pub and throwing myself down flights of stairs on a skateboard. Enjoy it, but just take it easy until you get use to it. :)

Those wheels look loads better, sportlines do lower it a little over standard and firm it up a bit, Skoda splitters are dirt cheap so that's a winner. If you can get some sportlines second hand in the for sale section then you're laughing. Cheap mods FTW. :cool:
