Been a little busy recently, I'm fairly happy with the exterior of the clio now. The pressed plates I've replaced with gel plates and finally fitted the steering wheel, the interior still needs a bit of work... and some recaro's if I can find the right ones! Door shuts next. Went to the local...

Followed a few cars behind you from Caton Road. Didn't realise I had a twin on the works car park!

Spotted a Liquid Yellow either 200 or 197 drive past while I was stuffing my face in McDonalds carpark, quick snack while I was picking up my new drone :smiley: (I was in my blue GT Line Coupe Megane, not the 182.) and a dark green or black 172 at the shell garage, about 10pm tonight.

Yep, that was the one!

Changed the plugs already, gonna have a look at the coil pack and leads next. Anyone got any advice?

At a petrol station a few weeks ago, you caught me taking a picture of your car.:grimacing:

Spotted leaving the classic car show at Leighton Hall on Sunday, Didn't catch the reg.

Tried a new product this weekend, a hydrophobic coating by Korean company Fireball... So far so good. Link to my instagram video below.

Its just a satin paint, £7 a tin from amazon, did barely any prep before using it. Yeah removed the grills, not brave enough to do it in situ! I'm thinking about doing training with Autoglym (its the brand everyone knows) and Autobrite for rotory use and paint depth etc, but yeah I think thats...

Not totally clued up on the 182's, are these a good buy or? My rear discs are shot. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FOR-RENAULT-CLIO-SPORT-172-182-2-0-REAR-BRAKE-DISCS-BREMBO-PADS-ABS-BEARINGS-/152267959111?epid=2094622011&hash=item2373e0ab47:g:-5oAAOSw5cNYLDE3

Also waiting for my new gel plates to arrive:blush:

Just sprayed the front grills with plasti kote satin black this weekend, looking much better! Still awaiting the return of the centre caps and door bullets, today hoovered and started to wet vac the interior, only done the drivers side so far. Mega excited to get my retrimmed wheel from...

Not yet... just an avid enthusiast at the moment. Sorry for the lack of updates, I'll try and get some photo's on this weekend. Recent progress, completed the 3 stage polish, still not 100% happy but its miles better than when it arrived! The wheels have been to Platinum Coatings in Manchester...

Doing little bits as and when I get time, tonight I managed to de-tar, clay bar and 3 stage both front wings, seal with autobrite sealant and topped up with 2 coats of Berry Blast as a spray wax.

Auto Finesse Revive to treat it, then coated it with Autoglym silicone spray for protection. Its a micro fibre pad my detailing friend gave me to try, I was using auto finesse foam pads but they make a right mess with dust... the microfibres don't leave any mess at all. I can't remember what...

So last week after spending an age looking for a 197 or 200 (Used to have an FF 197 years ago and after buying a house decided I wanted another toy) I totally changed my plan of attack and decided to get a detailing project. This 182 turned up for sale in Blackburn, all belts/pump/dephaser...
