Tin and brush here, a tin of hammerite and a 1/2" brush was about a tenner. They do a spray as well but you'd need to mask everything off which is far too much effort for me.
You'll most probably need to get it up to get the bolts out the end of the bumper as there in the wheel arches. So you need to wheels to drop so you can pull the arch liner back to get to the bolts.
Nah not with calipers, you're hardly after a panel finish.
I think some halfords are open today, ours is I think.
Well I just clean the crap off the calipers with a wire brush then paint them basically.
Halfruads sell loads of different colours, they do a caliper paint which costs about twice as much as the hammerite btw so look around for it first.
Redid mine this morning as it took me about half an hour, only bit that takes time is if you putting a million and one coats on as you have to...
If its just the adjuster then you can just change the adjuster as they only clip in. If you've broken the clips inside that hold the reflector though then new cluster needed.
Imo, if your going that far you might as well take the bottom bolts out and take the bumper out.
Its not that difficult or time consuming, had to swap my xenons out for my mot a few weeks ago could take it off in about 15 minutes now. Biggest pain in the ass is jacking the thing up and getting...
Whilst its showing the oil ok message and the gauge will be shown.
Time won't be displayed in the dials if the car has a trip computer fitted, and the cup holders are w**k.
Did mine myself, its a piece of piss hardest part is getting the wheels off. I've used hammerite silver smooth as a lot of people on here have and i've had no problems. You can either take the calipers off and paint them like that or be lazy and be careful and paint them insitue.
110bhp @ 6k, limiter is supposed to be 6.5 but mine will rev past it to about 6750 as said. Can't beat the surprise effect as they look just like a 1.2 as standard bar the door badges.
Wiring is 100% the same between the headlights, the ballast pack is part of the xenon cluster so i've no idea what he means by that. The only connections are the main light one and the plug for the adjuster.
You have to either put the spare key somewhere or tape a plip chip to the decoder ring, don't think theres any other way around it due to how the renault immobilser works.
You can make a tidy job of it without taking the dashboard off imo, just run the cable under the carpet against the centre console then up into the dash nothing to be seen if its done like that.
You'll need to remove the storage tray either way whether you velcro it down or whether you get the...
Dropping some bits off at laptab in Brum ??? Was the lad in the black clio dropping some wheels off who gave you the blankest look in the world, sorry about that never really clicked on until you'd walked off! :o
