is it possible? Mk2 05 clio 1.2
I've been stupid enough to lock my keys inside the bonnet.. (Very stupid I know) and now I've got no way of getting into the car to latch the bonnet open.
I've cut a section out of the grille to give myself a bit more space but can't seem to hook the mechanism...
Anyone got a decent insurance price for the newer megane sports? had a few quotes of around 2400, didn't know if anyone knows of a specialist that might be cheaper! that will be with 2 years NCB and living in a pretty decent area (midlands)
so at the minute my clio doesn't have speakers in the back D: i don't care to be honest, but getting a few complaints from some of the lads (cheeky tw**s) so how would i go about doing this? like what sort of cable, and how do i run it? cheers guys.
what do you think? not sure what this drop would be, guessing around 70mm, colour coded handles and bullet (not sure i like this) and some klutch sl1's (sorry for the poor ps effort, took 10 minutes haha)
guessing they'll fit? just double checking before i order them! £10 delivered for colour coded ones! bargain;) is there any difference between these and 182 ones? and my non sport ones? cheers guys!
didn't realise cs had a photography forum! anyways, here's a couple photos, how can i improve? honest opinions please! all taken with a 600D with just the 18-55mm kit lens, looking at getting an ultrawide soon though!

seen alot of 1.2s on here recently and it's inspired me to actually put some money and effort into my car!
bought it for £2000 about 6 months ago, already had 92'000 miles on it.. i know i was ripped off and should have paid half of that.. but anyways!:weary:
first mod was of course, the...
so basically some times while pulling away from junctions, lights etc.. the car will begin to pull away, but when it gets to about 3k revs then it stops pulling and feels as if i haven't got it in gear? if i change up it does the same, revs like mad without actually moving, usually have to put...
so I've bought a new (universal) 12v socket to fit into my mk2 clio, as mine has broken :( but I'm having a bit of trouble with the wiring?
The original has 3 wires running to it, (brown, blue and yellow/red)
where as the new one has a red and black cable? The red having a spade...
So I picked up a sport interior yesterday from someone of the bay, not sure if they're on here, had a sound looking 172 though.. Anyways here's some pictures!
The middle bolt took about an hour to undo, as someone had mashed it before:(
No seats;) still rough as toast inside though...
So I know I just need to Jack it up and remove the 4 bolts, but what about the wire? I dont think I've got seat air bags because it doesn't state air bag on the side nearest door, so can I just remove the wire underneath and take the seat and runners out? Going to collect some tonight so may as...
Need 2 new tyres as mine are slightly illegal atm.. Where's a decent place to go? Dont need amazing tyres but then again dont want them needing replacing again in a few months! Budget of around £120 fitted for front and rear. Thanks alot! :D
Think my clutch is on its way out so need to get it sorted soon, does anyone know of a good garage within 20 miles of Banbury? Also anyone know what sort of price I'll be looking at paying for tbe clutch? 1.2 mk2ph2 clio. Many thanks!:)
Coming back from college down the m40 and managed to hit 110 with 3 passengers and 10kg+ of luggage. Bearing in mind it's a 1.2 does this seem right? Wasn't downhill so wouldn't be the momentum, but this was at about 5k, could probably push it to 115 if I hadn't of s**t myself
So I know its been asked 1000 times before, but just want to double check before I order anything!
Basically I've got 1 mk2ph2 1.2 Clio on the standard 15s.
From reading on here I think i've decided on 60mm drop as everyones saying 40mm isnt worth it, but im slightly worried about speedbumps or...
So I've just bought an active subwoofer, Fli 1200W from halfrauds ( I know everyone hates them, but I don't think it's too bad tbh) and was wondering what would be the best components to fit into my doors, preferably 5.25 unless it's really easy to fit a 6" and also which amp would be able to...
Basically the car runs fine, the trip computer works fine, but the lcd display and aftermarket head unit seem to have no power going to it? Earlier I noticed the trip computer and clock display was going from dim to bright? but this has since stopped happening, I'm sure it's somehow linked?
Not...
I know there's a fair few threads already open, but the newest is 2012 and as it's technology, I'm sure there's a lot more out now!
Basically what I want is some component speakers for the front which will be hooked up to a pioneer HU, the head unit is rated for 4x50W output. So I'm looking for...
Basically I've upgraded my head unit to a pioneer 360 bt, which is awesome btw ;) but now I'm looking to upgrade the speakers. First question is am I best getting coaxial speakers or components in the front? Am I right in thinking coaxial is a component but with an added tweeter? Also if I went...
was wondering if anyone can recommend me a place to get some mats from? Was hoping for mats tailored for the clio and with a red trim, if anyone's got some recently and could let me know where from, with photos that'd be great! Thanks!
So I gave my car it's first real detail today! Previously it had only been washed with shampoo, and I also have never done anything but just wash and dry, so here goes!
First I rinsed with a normal hose
Washed wheels with shampoo
Then using MER High Shine Shampoo I gave her a good wash
Fully...
Just wondering if any young drivers here have got any decent quotes on insurance for a 1.2? I'm 17 and drive a 1.2 05 plate clio, cheapest quote I've got is £1550 tpf&t from Quinn Direct. Anyone got anything cheaper recently? Thanks!
So I've just cleaned my car using some halfords shampoo, lambswool mitt and some microfiber cloths, cane up looking nice but I'm sure it could be better! My question is what else should I buy? I was thinking a Polish and wax to shine and protect it, but need some advice as I'm new to detailing...
JJust used the 3m headlight restoration kit, I bought for £15 from the bay! Very happy with the results, not perfect but 100 times better than they were!
Before..
After..
Searched the forums but couldn't find this exact problem!
Basically all 4 of the front nozzles work perfectly, however the back one, does nothing at all? Checked fluid level, and when I go to spray it I can hear the motor whirring, anyone had similar or know a fix? Car is a mk2 ph3 non sport...
sorry if this is posted in the wrong place, just wondering what's everyone's opinions on cleaning these up? Will I be able to get them back to new looking, or am I better off buying some new ones to replace them? Many thanks
Just bought my first car although because of insurance as a 17 year old, couldn't get a 1*2 :( so all I've got is a 05 1.2 Extreme 3 in flame red. Don't think it will be worth doing any performance mods? Opinions would be great though! So was just thinking of a few visual mods to make it a bit...
