    Any interest in another titanium tidy up?

    Not going to start offering this service are you? 👀

    Paul’s Pearl

    Just read this thread. Seeing those rear lights, I feel a sense of cleanliness, like I've had a shower with that minty shower gel. Much better. Good job turning this around.

    All Racing Blue 182's on the Forum...

    Bought this about 2 months ago. Can't seem to find anything on Cliosport about it but assume previous owners would be on here.

    Bowen's RB182

    Following on from the drive shaft I did an oil change and some other maintenance bits. Now most of the general maintenance bits were (are they ever done on a clio?), I decided to make it a bit more mine. I sourced some wheels and tyres. The only issue, they were blue, very blue, almost...

    Bowen's RB182

    Hope so. I did cover this in one of the Bilethamber products to stop it progressing further. I'm thinking over winter drop it to my chosen body shop and have them sort it properly.

    Bowen's RB182

    (aaaanndd...) Another thing all my previous Clios have suffered from is the engine block tearing through the inner driver CV boot spraying grease everywhere See where the block has rubbed through the boot Driveshaft out, block grinded back and replaced with a J&R driveshaft (Clio purists...

    Bowen's RB182

    Forgive me? So I got the Clio home and gave it a strip down Inc the sills, a check over and and oil change. There is some bubbling coming through, something I'll deal with in the future. This is the first clio I've owned with a standard wheel and seating position, jesus, felt like...

    I know. When people say "oh you'll regret it", selling a clio, yeah you really will.

    Bowen's RB182

    Right then... I bought my last 182 off a mate who was going through a bad patch and needed to make some sacrifices. I listed my silver 182 for sale (in a moment of madness) and the mate I bought it off was in a position to buy it back. He was quite emotional and I knew it was the right thing to...

    Bowen's 182 pt.2

    Time to update, not that there's much to update, this thread. Not used the Clio over winter, nor the M3. I acquired a MK4 Golf PD150 to smoke around in. Contemplated selling the Clio briefly. Lack of use and space, meant it was on the chopping block. Quickly came to my senses and built another...

    172 CUP - Brecon Beacons

    Spotted yesterday. I was there on a photography job, took some photos of it. Would have said "Hi" but you were at the burger van quite a while......

    Recently sold my daily... So the Clio was/is being used as a daily for the time being. The previous knocking which I thought was the exhaust hanger, well it wasn't. After fitting the Pro-am hanger supports, the knocking was still there and REALLY obvious. Like a wheel was loose. I noticed...

    Kempy’s Full Fat RB182

    Would also be interested in this track day. Be good to get a few Clio's together before the bad weather really sets in.

    New exhaust hanger supports arrived today from Pro-am. Great quality product and very reasonably priced too. On the hunt for A MAP sensor. I assume everyone will say buy genuine but before I do is there another brand or somewhere to source a decent MAP sensor?

    Bowen's 182 pt.2

    I've been meaning to do this for a while but I couldn't bring myself to pay so much for a tiny piece of plastic and the postage be half the price of the item..... I cannot tell you the satisfaction seeing that piece of plastic fitted and the ugly whole gone brings me. Sad but true.

    After... Looks a bit better. Need to do the throttle body and replace the map sensor I snapped.

    Bowen's 182 pt.2

    I'm in between jobs, well using up all my annual leave before starting my new job, so trying to keep myself busy. Thought I'd give the Clio's engine bay a spruce. Before Apologies the images are huge...

    All Titanium & Icebergs!

    Missus took the daughter to the in laws and I "didn't have to go if I didn't want too". So I spent the afternoon zipping around the Brecon Beacons which. More @its.bowz on instagram.

    Great start. Nice small steering wheel and the interior is pretty much done...unless you opt for harnesses in the future.

    Chonki Boy. Love a meaty tyre. Nice and purposeful. Only thing grating me is the shopping list on the rear window but what do I know.
