Which bloody daft French designer over at Renault thought silver seatbelts would be a good idea? Ive had my 182 just over 18months and in that time ive had to clean my seatbelts 3 times. Takes the best part of an hour each time its v.annoying. Having said that now theyre clean again they do...

Those arent xenons though. Theyre standard st170 halogen lights. These are the st170 xenons -

I saw that for sale. Wanted it myself but it went to auction at a starting bid of £7k lol

Sounds good mate. Without wanting to put too much of a downer on it for you, are you aware its due a cambelt around March time? (When ever its 5 years old). Its around a £450-£500 job.

How much is your insurance? I cant think of any good reason why i would garage my 182 unless it was becoming a track toy/weekend car.

What are the downsides to solid topmounts? There must be some surely?

Can you buy AST solid top mounts for standard 182 with cup suspension? Or is this a coilover only mod?

Spray over it then sand it off later mate, thats what i did anyway. I used one of them electric detailing sanders, only took a few mins

Looks really good. What was the ride quality like on them?

Bought a fresh tube of autosol today as i used all yesterday cleaning the inlets up, also got a tub of megs metal polish and must say theyre looking pretty good so far. Next step will be remove the inlets and nitromorse around the Renault sport writing as the previous owner of the inlets has...

The car has a damn good service not so long ago at Birchdown. I treated her to new gearbox oil and coolant. Service/Mechanically the car wants for absolutely nothing. Im too lazy to keep swapping a decat at mot time, also dont decats cause a flar spot on 1*2's? Lol ive got no splitter to...

How much does he charge?

Trackday might be a good shout actually. Its something ive fancied for a while the only thing stopping me is id want to take trackday insurance out and im with direct line who i cant see offering that lol. I cant really change insurance co as theyre £200 of so cheaper than the likes of...

Lol that does sound like a damn good idea tbh. I prob didnt make myself overly clear in my origional post. Rather than spend £200 on mods i want to spend £200 on tidying the cars appearance up. Its generally in good nick anyway tbh but there are a few simple jobs id like done on the car eg pdr...

Hi, Well i was selling my 182, however after doing a few hundred miles in it this weekend ive grown fond of the old girl again. As im now keeping the car i think i should treat her a little. To do this ive nicked £200 from my new car savings that i built up, although i could increase the...

^ Looks really good. I want to get my engine mount polished but tbh its beyond my mechanical ability to remove it i expect

Just been and dug the autosol out. it ways not to be used on mirror finishes, so there was something in what i remembered lol. I?ve just been out and given one of the cylinders a quick rub over with autosol and the difference is night and day tbh. What would be the best tool to use to apply...

Your right, that makes no sense what so ever. Ill go and dig it out and give it ago lol

Ive got some autosol, but pretty sure it says its not to be used on polished metals?

Lol we buy any car offered me £3695 for my 2004 182 so i find it hard to believe they offered him that much for a 172.

Hi guys, My polished inlets are now looking nowhere near as shiny as they used to. The metals gone very flat and nowhere near as chrome like as it used to be. Parts are starting to look oxidised as well. I dont have access to a machine polisher so ideally i could do with a recomendation for a...

lol. i thought you were a joiner?

Thur morn...u mad? lol Im goin sat morn n stoppin over sat night

^ Yeah 99% sure i will be.

Lol im a bit late on the reply again. Im busy tonight unfortunately. If all goes to plan i think ben is doing them for me on thur. If anything happens as he cant ill pop you a pm over mate :)

Anyone know the part numbers and rough prices of the genuine Renault gaskets for the upper and lower inlets? The ones which these replace.... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=344504&highlight=ptfe Thanks, Russ

Lol i wanted one before the TT fad began. Was looking almost 12months ago but decided to keep the Clio a little longer. Other option is a BMW 330 coupe, however the ease of tuning on the 1.8T lump in the tt appeals

^ Yeah i think so. Fancy a change having had the 182 for 18 months and a 1.2 for 18months. Im considering coming out of the closet and buying a tt :o

Oops. Sorry dude. I never got thread subscription with your reply to this message. Guess its a bit late now? lol

How much would you want for your troubles Fred?
