You could spray them yourself with aerosols following FM's guide , it's not hard tbh . Or take the bump strips off and get them sprayed professionally . Shouldn't cost too much . Give them the paint code and they get the paint mixed up . http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=243967

Edit : double post .

I must be an even fatter handed tw4t then cos i can't change the drivers side . Maybe thats why it looks like i've got a small dick , lol .

^^^ How much did it cost to bring it and where did you bring it from ?

If you've got aircon , which i'm assuming you have from your avatar then the drivers side is a bugger to change . Here's how i changed mine for LED bulbs . 10th post down . http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=281223&highlight=led+sidelights

I suppose it depends on the location of the dent . I had 3 removed . 1 in the drivers door , 1 in the rear quarter panel and 1 in the roof which he said would be the most difficult as the headlining is bonded to the roof . All removed within an hour and only cost £90 , £60 of which my neighbours...

Renault say it takes 5.1 litre with the filter change , i've never needed more than 5 litres . If you don't change the oil filter 4.75 litres is usually enough . The only time my 182 ever used any oil was when i bought it new and needed a slight top up after a couple of months . I changed...

You'll only need 5 litres of oil even when you change the oil filter , that takes it up to the MAX line on the dipstick .

No need for the extra litre or to flush the old oil . As said Opieoils is as cheap as you'll get for 5 litres of Silkolene . http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-1146-silkolene-pro-s-5w-40-ester-synthetic-oil-for-high-performance-engines.aspx

Welcome to Cliosport Steve .

There might be no need to take the door card off . Mine dent was taken out working down the inside of the window .

Halfords sell their own brand of Rain X . Same stuff but cheaper ;) I've used it for years . Don't know why so many people have problems with it . If it's applied as per the instructions it works fine .

I got mine ( smoked ) from here with the chrome repeater bulbs . They sell lots of different styles including clear ones . http://www.body-kit.co.uk/acatalog/renault_clio_mk2_side_repeaters.html

I prefer the Collinite 845 insulator wax to the 476 myself . Lasts just as long but is much easier to apply / remove . http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk/Products,51,toView_67.html

For the best and cheapest exterior dressing WD40 ;)

Tbh the chances are that her dad has called you an idiot and probably not in a joking manner . He's probably one of these curtain twitchers who has nothing better to do than watch others and critisice them . I wouldn't worry about it mate . You've got a nice car , you enjoy keeping it clean...

Not necessarily lied to more like economical with the truth . I had bt years ago and they were a bag o' shite then , i wouldn't trust them one bit . You might be told yes sir , you will get 4mb , 8mb etc ....by a customer service advisor over the phone , but you try and prove it when you...

Who told you you " would " get 4mb . Most providers have the get out clause of " up to " . I very much doubt any isp will guarantee a connection speed You on BT broadband ?? If your only getting 0.7mb thats appalling . I'd be one unhappy bunny too .

You won't get anywhere near 210bhp from a chip ;) You've already mentioned a couple of things with the exhaust and airfilter . You can look at getting the inlet manifold matched , plenty of posts on this topic on here . A couple of members offer this service . Apparently the inlet manifold...

Get him to get the credit card out as well , they are fcukin expensive . Summat like £70 :eek:

It might sound like a bit of overkill , but for the sake of a few minutes extra and piece of mind that i've removed as much crap as possible thats how i prefer to do it anyway.

Like i said in my earlier post . I powerwash as much dirt of as possible , then high power foam it , leave to dwell a while to help soften any dirt , then power wash that off just with water , then foam again and continue with the washmitt and 2 bucket method .

Like aceface says . The more dirt you can get off before you attack it with a washmitt the better . Then you've less chance of scratching the paintwork . I never wash my car without first pressure washing it , then foaming it .

When i bought a new battery for my 172 it was sealed and ready charged . I had to fit it on the car park of the place i bought it cos the original was fcuked and i needed jump leads to get me going . Sealed batteries can be charged , they are only maintenance free as in they shouldn't ever...

^^^ Don't worry mate , it'll soon drop to 280 miles a tank , lol . I don't think the petrol gauge / comp is very accurate imo . If you try the little trick with the cars comp and check how many litres there are leftin the tank , then fill your car up with say " 20 litres " it never adds...

I don't think it's anything to do with the tracking . My 182's done this ever since i bought it new . Mine only does it when i reverse out of the garage and put on full lock , the surface is slightly gravelly so it scrambles for grip . Thats the only time mine does it , when the tyres are cold .

A green card is proof you have insurance in the UK . You used to need them , now you don't so long as you take your insurance certificate with you . You can still get issued with a green card though if you prefer , you'll have to ring your insurance company and get them to send you one ...

I've used the guys at Powerflow / Topgear in Burnley . Couldn't fault their work , 90 mins in and out job done :) I'd definitely use them again without hesitation .

I'm with Adrian Flux and i'm pretty sure i get 30 days cover in Europe , without checking my policy . I would imagine i could extend that if needs be for a fee . From what i understand all insurance companies have to give you cover in Europe free of charge for a limited period . Must be...

As said 72k is the recommeded service interval , it's a little optimistic imo . I had to change mine at 30k on my 172 as i was losing power / hesitating up to 2.5k revs . If your not having any problems i'd just leave them .
