Gold

last job of the day was to fit the new exhaust and new bumper. The manifold flange is in good nick. Everything went smoothly. Hung the rear silencer with cable ties for now. Gave the back panel a clean up. Then stuck the bumper on and the tow stickers. I managed to find the same...

Today was a much better day. First job was to remove those exhaust hanging studs. It’s a pretty simple procedure so I’ll go over the process. Grab a drill and a 9.5 mm drill bit. Fill the exhaust hanger studs with cutting oil (optional but it helps). The studs are pressed into the top...

Saturday was a bit of a wash out and a frustrating day. The old bumper came of easy enough. The exhaust was loose in places and literally fell off. Nice custom set up though. Militek centre silencer and then flexi piping all the way back. It sounded great but far too loud for my needs...

Picked the old girl up from the yard. First time driving it. It was interesting to say the least. Goal this weekend is to switch exhausts, bumpers, change oils, remove stickers and have a good look over it. Lots of new parts have arrived with some to follow. Once I’ve done my first track day...

These chaps are excellent https://frogjammotorsport.co.uk/collections/clio-2rs-brakes/products/brembo-rear-brake-discs-renault-clio-mk2-rs @FrogJam Motorsport

It couldn’t really. Come loose at best. But was it ever put it?

Only if it’s missing. You might be able to see the head if it behind the AC pump. We’re all just guessing.

They will be fake. I’ve had a set of fake ones off Amazon as well. Local dealers will have them in stock now, I paid £42 each. Autodoc are always competitive but you’ll wait an age for them. Injectors - P/N (8200207049) - OEM Mfr. Magnetti Marelli P/N (805001446001 IWP042)...

Better pic for you. I’m going to win aren’t I? 😂

A shot of my engine. You can see all the bolts in that illustration. If it’s the other bracket bolt it’s where I’ve drawn a circle, just behind the AC pump. You can also see the AC pump bolts and the Pivot bolt for the alternator. These will be visible with the engine in and without removing...

Yep. And the only way to see it is to remove the A/C pump.

Just saw his is a 172, mines a 182, but I understand they both use the same bolt. The part number is the same for both cars - 7703002771 - which is the bolt I posted. I have a few bolts off a pump from a 172 Phase 1 engine and those are the same length as my 182 as well 🤷🏻‍♂️ They definitely...

His bolt Air compressor bolt

You should have walked down their drive and said hello. Most car enthusiasts love chatting about their projects, it’s part of why we do it. I’ve lost count of the amount of people who just come up to you in petrol stations or wind their windows down while you’re driving. I once had a bloke in...

These are not the bolts you’re looking for.

That looks like a bracket bolt to me - number 2 in your illustration - that goes into the engine block. The AC pump bolts are M8 and a lot longer with more thread.

I’ve just bought a set but not carbon effect. Slightly cheaper on pure motorsport website.

Going to a good owner too 😉

It’ll certainly help with stains on the carpet 😂

Are the decals replaceable should they need a refurb?

You know, Nick, what intrigues me is the eventual buyer. That's where things get challenging.

It's only metal fella. I still have some more parts I'd like to fit, so I'll keep going for now.

My wife has helped me see reason, so I've decided to keep it for the time being. Being a workaholic, I easily get bored, which is why I embark on these projects in the first place. Regarding the price, I'll stick it on Collecting Cars and set a reserve price of £6,000. I do have quite a few...

It would suffice, though they lack the flexibility and durability of genuine ones. They're serviceable but somewhat fragile. I was fortunate to acquire a genuine tray from another Clio, but these served their purpose in the meantime.

Yeah you’re better going with Black over Dark Anthracite imo

They’re not as gold as the illustration though.

The Gold look pretty smart.
