lol i figured its a typo and he meant 20mm long.

Not to worry fella, im sure ill get hold of one sooner or later ive managed to get the old snapped part out easily enough. Just looking for a replacement bolt That sounds about right, ill try and get hold of a few this week. im thinking some polished ones would look nice hehe

Hi, Can anyone tell me the size of the bolts marked with arrows in the pic? I presume its something i should be able to get off the shelf somewhere or do they need to be high temperature? As you can see one is missing...well it snapped lol. Thanks, Russ

pikey methods ftw lol

i remember when this was first posted. pretty sure everyone was loving this vid at the time.

I also used CES for my exhaust mounts. Highly recomended

try www.fancyplates.com mate. They do all shapes and sizes

Just seen this on another forum lol http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n22/RobVXD/?action=view&current=grandprix-1.flv

not due a service mate. the serv light on the clio means there is a fault. are there any other lights on as well?

yeah, find yourself a 197 reg and when they ask for a reg just give them that.job done.

Takes about that to remove id say yeah.

2nd'd. Im seriously considering an M3 in 12months once ive completed my apprenticeship. Absolutely stunning cars.

Looks very good. One thing i will ask though is did you use heat resistant paint? I cant see normal spray paint lasting very long before beginning to flake.

Ive generally found Renault very good, if i want something i phone up for it if they need to order it they take payment and its usually in by dinner time the next day.

i get around 34mpg across the tank. thats including my daily commute to work and having a play every now and again.

Thanks everyone :)

I just bought halfords high temperature engine paint. I presume thats more than upto the job :)

Pretty easy mate, i found guide on here somewhere a while ago although cant remember where. its basically 10 bolts and undo all the cables and sensors. takes about 15mins to do. Spraying is easy just dont spray to close just keep making light passes with the spray can until its all covered also...

I bought them from Impey (a CS member). However you can buy them from Hillpower for around £22 posted. Well worth it imo, although eventually i would like to get a proper top mount kit.

The pc is knackered mate hence why it now resides in the garage and is used to repair my car. lol

Engine cover doesn't look bad i must agree ;) Figured with the spraying...if i didnt like it i could always respray it or then get it polished as i originally planned to.

What exhaust is that you've got mate? Some very nice choice mods youve made there, although personally i preferred your anthracite side badges

i woulda bought some large washers normally...but its a sunday afternoon n the shops were shutting shortly and i was repairing the heatshield while the paint dried lol.

Sprayed my engine manifold and fuel rail guard as well as bodge repair my heatshield :D mwahhhhh lol I'm afraid ive got no before pictures of the engine, but basically the previous owner had started sanding it and gave up half way so was looking rather tatty. I was only speaking to Middo a...

it might not be that quick, i know its some stupidly low figure around that area. in other words next to nothing in it between the 2 cars

Top man. My artic 182 was looking just like that 2 weeks ago after middo pc'd it for me :) I love artic, really stands out and hides all manor of sins pretty well :) I'm currently just waiting for my engine inlet manifold and fuel guard to dry as ive just sprayed them matt black :evil:

insurance for me on a 172 and 182 were identical. TBH i doubt there is much between the 172 and 182 performance wise. 182 is about 0.4 of a second quicker to 60...wow try and count 0.4 of a second :) 182 with cup packs will be slightly more nimble when your having a play however 172 is prob...

I was at college when i bought both my ST170 and Clio 182. However i am an apprentice electrician rather than a full time college student :)

tbh i dont mind changing oil myself its just national can do a change for circa £30 and i have a voucher for £5 off so would make for a cheap oil change :)

Hi, Looking to get my 6monthly oil change done on my 182. Does anyone know if national stock the correct oil in their cheapy cheap oil changes that they do? Thanks, Russ
