loved this car, saw it on pistonheads and at FCS and was absolutely mint. it has sold quickly which is always a bonus :)

you got it in one

my oil filter was 6quid something from renault for the 1.2

dont use a belt sander, as its too aggressive for the plastic. if you do wish to use a sander use something like a black and decker mouse or a random orbital sander as a belt sander will sand strips into it. personally i use wet and dry 120 grit, then work progresivelly up to about 500...

nope. if the offset is ok, which it should be at around 40. wobbly bolts change it from 4x100, to the punto offset which i forget. is it 4x98 or something, i cant remember. dont see how they'd catch the axle ?

looks mint! should have told me you were doing them would have sent you an 'airbag' sticker with the 2.0 ones

i did indeed, really easy to do, so if jay fecks it up hes shite :rasp:

doubt that will make any diff on a 1.2, if on any car. may as well remove them. It will def sound faster due to less 'sound dendening' resulting in louder exhaust noise

for her five ebay clios i assume :D

or lock your keys in it with the engine running lol

yeah the renaultsport and plenham etc. need hammerite, or heat resistant paint - but the engine cover and general plastics in there are fine with well prepped conventional paint.

that interior looks tidy :)

thanks mate :) The engine cover will get 'warm' nowhere near hot enough to damage any paint work. I've had my cover on for over a year and have had no problems, the sticker hasnt even peeled.

good photoshop that! kinda megane-esque

shouldnt have silver door handles! you havent got the cool billabong decals either ;) the billabong from new was also 500 quid extra, so must paid option on yours

lmao, that didnt take much persuading! try cliospares, must have a few knocking around

beg to differ edward ;) my car is actually a billabong, and is one insurance group higher as its more desirable also it comes standard with sun roof and air conditioning, 172 spoiler, 172 door handles, silver dash inserts, and silver gear knob.

i'm thinking andromeda air box ;)

hammerites fine matey, good idea ;), looks even better in the bay!

lmao, will put a thread in meet and event now.

looks mint! looks like i'm out of a job eh ;) remember when u laquer it to keep it in warm conditions cos its a bugger for going cloudy

the aerosol cleaning cans by forte really are a piss of pie to use. spray the can into the car like an air freshener, then leave the air condition running for 10mins. then go to BP as you will have used about £5 of fuel in the driveway lol

yeah. i dont tend to use mine at all during winter, or extremely rarely - so will probably clean it out next summer. one of those little aersols is a good bet though, as they just help to freshen it up and kill any bacteria in there. they're also reallly simple to use.

if its a spring/dampers eibach kit your putting on most people generally recommend a fortnight to a month depending on how far/hard you drive. my koni kit i put on took about 2 months to settle altho i was doing a fair few miles.

mentioned this to my local garage and he recommends cleaning regularly - as its only about 10quid for one of the forte aerosols. better to be safe than sorry. regassing is 'supposed' to happen around every 3 years, but unless its not performing as well i dont think theres any point. my mate...

koni specials (red kit) or the apex kit. decision would be entirely based on price

fold the back seats down? which gimp told you that lol. Still same amount of weight whether folded or not. You need to completly remove the back seats

no doubt on the back of a saxo or a ka ;)

doesnt get hot, so any paint is fine. my good man at autopaint mixed me up my liquid yellow.

the funny thing is you attempted it whilst driving a tin can, you should buy yourself a tank if your gonna drive like that ;)
