2 cans of colour coat will be enough for your bump strips . And you don't need to sand down any colour coats unless you have any runs or blemishes . After the colour is dry lacquer it , thicker rather than thinner . Its a bit trial an error . If its too thin , it has a tenancy to dry with a...

If you think bit torrents crap then your using the wrong sites . Peer 2 peer sharing was good back in the day before fast internet connections with the likes of kazaa , bearshare , and good old Napster . If your looking for films try www.araditracker.com but be warned , share or be booted .

I've used toyo T1R's and T1S's , never again . Absolutely shite in the wet . A tyre needs to be able to perform in the wet as well as dry imo . And that doesn't necessarily mean to say pushing it hard in the wet , but it needs to be able to grip in an emergency situation . Do you really want a...

The question is " were you happy with the Michelin PE2'S " ? If your answer is " yes " then stick with them . I can't fault em , good grip in the dry and wet :)

Use a folded terry towel , put a pea size blob on the towel and work the polish until there is nothing left . It breaks down to a finer polish as you work it and needs a fair bit of elbow grease but used properly it's very good on light scratchs .

Megs gold glass is alright , foams pretty well . But like you say Brand chemical guys Extreme Body Wash n Wax is where it's at for me also :) . Try using a different bucket or wash the bucket out with washing up liquid first .

Anthracite would be my first choice , then silver . White will need cleaning everyday or two or they'll look crap , with black you'll have to keep your tyres clean and dressed or they look shite if your wheels are relatively clean .

Autoglym interior shampoo is very good for meduim to light soiling . Failing that Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner should shift it . Also get one the Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner Bottles and Meguiars Foaming Sprayer ...

Read this post . According to ooze he paid £7.30 each . Then you'll need the bulbs . Cheaper from where i told you with the chrome bulbs that flash orange and just as good a quality as the Renault ones . http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=231717&highlight=renault+side+repeaters...

You mean the foam had disappeared from the bucket or car ? Grease has a habbit of making suds disappear . Try using a different bucket .

Just get silvervisions for the front and back . If you get them from here you get a free set of blue sidelight bulbs with your order . I used the blue ones in the interior though as they are more white than blue . http://www.powerbulbs.co.uk/ I have smoked side repeaters like i posted...

^^^ Do you want the front ones or the side repeaters ?

^^^ They are yellow and you need orange .

It's a W5W . Like this in the pic under the side repeater lens . http://www.body-kit.co.uk/acatalog/info_R-310.html

Not if the colour coat finish is ok . Just apply a few good coats of lacquer now . You only need to sand the top coat or lacquer if the finish isn't perfect . 1200 grit should be ok if you do need to sand , personally i'd go for 1500 or 2000 grit though .

If you go to a place where the guy knows what he's doing he will be able to match pretty much any colour . When i wanted anthracite for my spare wheel i found nobody actually sells it , not even Renault . I left the centre cap with them and he mixed the colour to match the centre cap . Using...

Yeah . I frequently sit there at rev the ass off my car , just to hear the IK noise ;) . Or maybe i acutally drive the car exactly the same as i did when i had the standard airbox and my fuel consumption has gone up due to more air being allowed into the engine and the ecu adjusting the fuel...

^^^ I agree . I've just bought 2 400ml aerosols from a local car parts supplier that mixes paint , they always mix it spot on and only £7.00 a tin . Or try these . I think they mix all the paint for Renault touch up sticks and aerosols . http://www.tradeproducts.co.uk/paint6.htm

Use wd40 .

Just polish it mate . Autoglym super resin polish .

Re: SDV RIP Shame about the car , it looked mint . Glad the guy was ok , looks like he was very lucky and could have been alot worse :eek:

I used to average around 28mpg , now i average around 24 -26 mpg with my k+n cone filter .

Did they not fit em to the ph2 172 and 182's to slow em down a bit ?? Thats what i heard anyway ;)

The guy i've used a few times is a Bosch trained and can run a diagnostic check on any car , even though its a siemens system . Charges £50 . I always thought Renault charged £50 also from what i've read , but i might be wrong . You could try a different Renault garage .

Let me know how you get on . It took him around 30 mins for all 4 dents , the one on the door was in a really bad place . He does seem a bit of a prefectionist . I thought the dent had gone but he could still a little bit . He's got better eyes than me , lol .

I think you'll find the beeswax and oils have alot to do with how long it lasts and the finish as well ;)

^^^ It doesn't say the content in % it just says main ingredients .

^^^ Does it really matter ? A typical wax will only contain around 15 - 20% carnauba . The main constituent is beeswax , candelilla wax and oils, the darker waxes also contain either montan oil or montan wax , the same that is found in shoe polish. Even the so called " better " waxes will only...

Halfords are basically shite unless you want bog standard paint . Your better off talking to a local paint / body part supplier, plus they are usually cheaper .

Well from my point of view . I had a mk 2 172 which i loved . I waited until the mk3 clio came out and didn't like the look of it so i bought a new 182 . Its more or less the same car tbh . Slightly different alcantara finish on the seats than the 172 , no big deal , the obvious differences are...
