I'm looking for a bodyshop in Essex who can paint and possibly fit a cup spoiler to my Clio 200. It needs to be sprayed Albi Blue (currently in primer) and it's a genuine Renault part. Does anyone have any personal recommendations or an idea of how much I'd be looking at?

Ok, my girlfriends Clio (1.2 Extreme) failed it's MOT on the Discs and Pads being excessively worn. Now, I went for Mintex discs/pads as they seem quite good value. The online Mintex part checker narrows it down to 3 different discs, none of which being correct (to my knowledge). I have since...

The centre section of my exhaust on my Clio 172 is blowing between the back box (practically brand new) and the cat (in good condition). Where is the best place to get this centre section from and how much am I looking at roughly?

Ok, I searched the forums and the common cause of this seems to be a broken indicator stalk. I have since replaced mine with a new one and this did not solve the problem. I have checked the fuses before and after doing this and none of the light ones have blown. What can I try next? I live...

My full beam has gone which I believe suggests that the indicator stalk needs replacing. Have a spare one but no idea how to swap them over. Are there any guides? Thanks!

Picked this up yesterday, so far very pleased with it. It's a 2002/02 full fat with 36k miles for £5350. Absolutely immaculate condition not a single mark on it bar some stone chips. Interior is spot on as well with no wear to the alcantara seats. Can definately feel the difference between the...

I bought some 195/50/15 tyres the other day to replace some 195/60/15 tyres thinking it would be fine (previously I have gone from 15" to 17" - I bought them in a hurry and did not calculate the rolling radius oops). However, once I calculated the difference it worked out at -6.34% when the...

I swapped my head unit over earlier, but inputted the wrong code once the standard stereo was connected. The first time 4 zeros appeared allowing me to input the code but after this attempt the zeros have disappeared and the unit just displays "CODE" and bleeps whenever a button on the stereo or...

Car braked heavily for a speed camera up ahead, car behind him swerves and locks up, car behind him swerves into the back of him and leaves me with nowhere to go but to pile into the back of them. Really annoyed, no way I could have avoid hitting them at all. Had a split second decision...

What is the standard arrangement for a 172 Cup boot floor? I know the previous owner had some ICE in the car as there were numerous RCA/power cables, but im not sure I have the original boot carpet. What I have is a piece of thin wood, like MDF, attached to some carpet (matches the trimmings on...

Right, further to my previous questions, I am now stuck as my calipers won't align with the holes in which the 2 bolts go. No idea why, its very close but its just not happening. I have made sure the piston is wound in fully, the piston notch lines up with the notch on the pad, but it still...

Grr, following on from my thread earlier about my rear discs, my rear passenger side piston won't wind in anymore. Its stuck fully out, I have tried turning it with a screwdriver but this is not working. Any ideas? Edit: The brake resovoir is undone.

Changing my rear discs as per this guide here: http://www.fubarnet.com/rear_discs.html I seem to be missing the innards which are inside the disc. What are these? Can I remove it from the old disc? Have I forgot to order everything I need? :o Pic here:

As mentioned previously in another post, my exhaust fell off on Friday leaving me with a deafening 140 mile drive. Im quite keen to get this sorted by the end of the week, so I want to know exactly what I need so I can get some accurate quotes. Renault are out of the picture as they are so...

Had a mare of a day today. Some background information: I had my Clio 172 Cup serviced on Monday by a local place who I have taken quite a few cars too. Made a special point for them to check my exhaust as I was sure it was blowing but could not find a hole. They said it was absolutely fine and...

My handbrake is very high when it is applied, it really could do with coming down a few inches. How would I go about doing this?

Picked this up yesterday and im really impressed with it. Managed to get it for the bargain price of £5500, its on a 52 plate with 26k on the clock. The interior was in a pretty messy state but a few hours this morning sorted that out, otherwise its in very good condition. Drivers seat could do...

Went to view a 172 Cup today privately. Am very keen on the car itself, in good condition, has 26k on the clock on a 52 plate registered Dec 02, nice and straight with no dents or bodywork damage. The interior is in good condition, never been smoked in but does need some attention to tidy up...
