I didn't think it was rare, kinda lucky though, I'd have had to catch it and stuff it, photos would be easier then. ;)

Wow this is nice, first five door clio I've really liked, wheels are spot on, ride height is spot on, and how nice and black the trim is really makes it look good. Good work so far, looking forward to the rest.

Yeah mines just going grey, don't discriminate :P

I think its interesting what you're trying to do and love all the controversey, people hate the idea of spending anything on trying to make a car they dislike (a replica) any better, but spunking £5000 on making a clio faster recieves a warm welcome and not many "should have just bought...

He's rare?? He's like my unofficial pet, he spends all day in my back garden and actually gets pretty close if I call to him in the weird trying to call a cat way. Will try to get some better ones.

No ph1 owners had the same issue?

Ok so I look out of my window a few days ago and theres a squirrel in the middle of my grass having a bit of a laugh. I grab my camera and hang out of the very little window. For some crazy reason I decide to try and coax it, much like you would a cat. To my suprise, it worked! The little git...

Recently fitted dual optics to my mk2 ph1.... Got everything working fine now bar the headlight adjusters? Taken them both out, both are working i.e moving... but i can't seem to get them to actually move the headlight bulb positions at all. Is there some sort of trick to getting the adjusters...

Just found apicture of a ph1 with the lights on a d yes it turns out i do have it the wrong way around. This could answer why the adjusters aren't working, the wrong lights are being adjusted! Oh dear!!

s**t think I've got it the wrong way around then. Still without Internet posting from iPhone, but when I get home I'll make a diagram to try explain. That's pant about the guide being wrong and there being no fuse point!! So on all your mk2ph1 sport owners cars do your headlighs stay on...

How does that work then? I thought the loom would go all the way to the dash as lower clios don't have the right stalk for fogs so what does this loom plug into? I've been wanting to fit fogs to my car for quite some time so am very interested.

I've heard this before although I'm not sure how much truth there is in it, the loom does look quite long in pics i've seen so maybe it goes all the way up to the stalk. I've never seen amy connection before, despite looking. Be interested to know how you get on with this.

So I've done it all right? Cheers, for some reason I thought headlights were supposed to stay on whilst full beam came on? Ah well. So the headlights are in the same little "chamber" as the headlights? (just to be sure) One last problem... I can hear the adjusters moving but it doesn't seem...

Found what I wanted in the end, fitted them yesterday, £18.00 well spent if you ask me, although the guy at sc gave me the wrong ones the first time. Fun times.

Posting from iPhone so please forgive mistakes. Fitted these following the guide, pretty happy but two questions. What light is supposed to be illuminated as headlight? Closest to the centre of the car or the further one? In the guide on here it says that all clios have the fuse space...

Looks wicked so far, can't believe i didn't see this before. Great little bargain, and with all the right tools and knowledge you'll probably earn a fair bit on it, not to mention enjoy getting to make something epic again. Best of luck, look forward to seeing more updates.

I drove for a very long time with mine buggered mate, but i've heard of peoples going wrong in the past. I think i drove for around 5k maybe more on it, the only problem was it ended up killing the rear wheel cylinder too so that had to be changed and the bearing was EXTREMELY tough to get out.

A euro? I rang SC motor factors, asked for brake pads for a 1.2 8v 1998, he said "vented or solid" I said I wasnt sure, then he said there was 2 options after that.

What do I need chaps??? Phoned up motorfactors earlier, was asked if they are vented or unvented? And after that, there are two options in each aparently. Any ideas?

Not normally a fan of bright coloured details on most cars, but this works really well. Very nice! Cup spoiler, jealous!

Love this, shame it had to happen, but great you've had someone "on the inside" to keep you updated etc, and atleast you know its been done with care and respect too. Hope you're happy with it when you get it back, as said, get the whole thing polished, won't cost you a penny ;)

Someone with an iPhone send me an MMS? MMS is on, I haven't recieved one though no? I had a few messages about setup when i first got it, but they were for the original number, not mine old one i moved over. I've already done that and it changed nothing :( on o2. I'll try this Eh?

Really nice shots you've got there mate. I prefer the lighting on the ones where you are messing about with the light drawing, should have some done some without light lines but with that lighting.

Re: Project 172 *** ITB'S - 204bhp *** Sausage filter fitted Page 14 Always the best way, I've got a loft full of 1.2 mk2 ph1 parts so I can change the car back whenever necessary. (mum loves it) :S

Re: Project 172 *** ITB'S - 204bhp *** Sausage filter fitted Page 14 Aren't a good bucket less than 10kg?? If so thats a pretty big saving and you'll be flying with them out!

This is crazy, a lot of time, money and effort going into this, but a very good read so far. Looking forward to seeing more. Oh, and that previous build (the white one) is FCUKING MINT!

Re: Project 172 *** ITB'S - 204bhp *** Sausage filter fitted Page 14 I'd be suprised by that, but I fitted ph1 172 seats to mine the other day and jesus were they heavy, was that drivers or passenger weight? the drivers seemed to weigh more? Or was that all in my head? On the bright side...

Never seen this thread before, gotta say your skills are awesome. The scratch removal right at the start is what I need to do on a few of mine, just havent got the balls. I've done it on my mates old fiesta because he doesnt care about it, just seems scary sanding my own :( Love the car mate...

I've just tried to send a picture message for the first time since owning the phone, and its failed? Any reason why??? Have i got to set something up?

Couldn't agree more with the positive comments, I can drive mine fast enough on a road to satisy me and have fun when its empty out. Its not the best motorway cruiser, but now i have sport seats, which are a lot more supportive, its a fun little car until i can afford something faster.
