Sorry that was me cancelling meeting Loony and Brazo later.

Yeah think they had stuck a cup badge on it!

Looking at the paint there is nothing to lose of wet sanding, as if it works it can only save the repaint/relaquer it needs now.

The rest of the paint fully agreed, but the bonnet is 50/50 imo, if/when the polish gets forced into the cracks by a pc, you wont get it out and it may look worse when it dries white in there. If there is plenty of clear on there a wet sand and then polish *may* sort it.

LOL - I wondered who would spot that! I should have ran after it down the straight with a MF and some QD! No cleaning all day, my mate with the 205 GTi we cleaned last weekend was the only person to clean a car, dirty cars everywhere! Guy - no it was chap from the Rallye Register.

I dont know if it will make it look better if it forces polish into the fine cracks.

Not tried anything else in the 182 to compare, but MPG was better in my 306 when using it in that. My 205 GTi used to run much better and rev more cleanly on Optimax than it would on any otehr brand of super.

I would touch it up with some touch up paint from the dealer and a fine artists paint brush.

Can we cancel Monday night ? ;)

Nice set of pics Lee.

Did'nt see the 180s about at the same time as the 182 on track. My mates modded Silver 180 seemed to be going pretty well on track.

Like Brazo says looks like clearcoat failure, nothing bar a repaint will fix it unfortunatley

Nice one Jay, working on a proper colour clio at last then! ;)

The black and blue halfords wheel brush is ideal on 182 wheels, try one and AG engine and machine cleaner on them.

Went to a Pug club track day on Sat with some mates, another former Pug owner saw the way forward as well and has changed to a 182 to! Link to non Clio pics, lots of 205 GTi's and some Mk1 Golf GTi's for fans...

As long as its a bigish store they should stock it, Cheltenham and Gloucester both stock it, so I guess Worcester will.

Great work guys.

A PC wont sort any faded paint problems as the colour will have faded under the laquer. I doubt there will be much paint fade on such a snew car. Modern clearcoats are pretty good at protecting the base coat from UV damage.

Finding a good one I suspect will be hard. I gave up on my hunt for a 205 GTi a while back, after driving miles and miles to see supposed mint examples. I fear it may take some searching.

Justin have you seeen and heard the exhaust in the flesh?

That's some going!

Wafer thin so not suprising they snap.

You need just a small screw driver then for the Alpine. Remove the plastic surround and you will see two small clips at either side of the unit, push these up and then the unit will be free to slide out.

Standard Renault Headunit? You can get the release keys from Halfords for about 3 quid, or make some out of a bent metal coat hanger

Lambswool wash mitt yes mate. Not tried the megs one though, these ones from Autopia are my choosen weapon! http://www.autopia-carcare.com/vk-103.html

I only ever rinse my lambswool mitts out with water after use. As for the drying towel, wack it in the washing machine on 40/50 degree's with some liquid washing detergent, and NO fabric softener.

Top work lad.

Been done already aswell now.

LOL!

Bugger :clown:
