I am wondering if the vent surround (the piece that is silver in 172s) comes out seperately from the rest of the dashboard. I don't want to try prying it off with a screwdriver because it looks to me as if it doesn't. As you may have guessed, I want to paint it silver. So will I just have to...

I was emptying the ashtray in my car of assorted bits of rubbish, when I dropped the thing and the spring flew off! I have been trying for the last 30mins and I can't figure out how the spring went, so if someone could do me a big favour and take a picture of one with the spring fitted, that...

Me and my mate caught some 3rd year school kid throwing a bottle which hit my car literally 2 minutes after I parked it. He really didn't think about the consequences of that one, as I was standing just a few places along talking to my friend, when I heard a loud bang and saw the bottle bounce...

Clean 182 parked on the street outside the cinema, reg plate MSX 1. Yoo hoo?

Originally, were the plastic bump strips on the bumpers and on the doors black or grey? I have a black car, if it was different on black. The reason I ask is that mine are grey, but they don't look faded they look like they were supposed to be grey. I just want to know, before I try to return...

I quite like the look of the wide BBS alloys on European cars, I'm sure at least one member here has tried it... If anyone has, can they post dimensions, pics, mods needed; just anything. I'd be interested to see the outcome on a Clio!

It was a nice day today, so I thought I would remove the Clio's alloys and give them a full clean and polish and have them look spanking. First wheel came off no problem, but the other three did not. Infact one of the bolts (anti theft) was so tight, that it broke the socket and bent the wrench...

I just bought this random orbital sander this week, and I thought about the possibilty that I could use it with some suitable pads to polish the car. http://www.metabo.co.uk/metabo/uk/en/produkte/discsanders/400wattelectronicdiscsandersxe450duo_6_00458_39.html I know the word "sander" will...

Being a poor student, I am considering trying my hand at tinting my car myself. Has anyone ever here ever tried this? I was reading up on the process, and it seems manageable. Does anyone also know of some good quality (road legal, not really dark) films that I could buy? Cheers

I'm looking at getting the Sony CDX - DAB6650, as I found an absolutely cracking deal on it. Once of the reasons I'm looking into it as it has Digital Radio; I know you need to use a different aerial with it, but I don't particularly want to use the glass mount one. Does anyone know of a neat...

Does anyone know of a company that makes 182 replicas? I think these wheels looks awesome, but I can't find a set anywhere. If there are no replicas available, can someone direct me to a good place to start looking, besides eBay?

In the next two weeks, I'm going to give my car probably the only full detail it's ever had, so I bought some Clay and Detailer, and Meg's Gold Class Wax sealant. The paint is dulled pearl black, but from inspection it doesn't seem to have swirl marks, just hundreds of parallel fine scratches...

I have just fitted some PH2 rear lights to the mobile, but I never noticed this until I was testing the lights; only the left side rear fog comes on. I'm almost certain that it was like this with the old lights. Is there any rewire mod that would allow for both side foglights to come on? Thanks

How much would it cost to replace a Timing belt roughly? The engine is the 1.4 in a MKII. I heard that it's worth replacing this before it reaches it's due replacement date, better than bent valves galore. Thanks

I would like to do some small subtle mods on my car, such as clear side repeaters, silver vision bulbs, a neater aerial; also some interior mods like aluminium accessories. Would I need to declare these on my insurance policy even though they are superficial? I would like to tint the windows and...

Hey there! I just stumbled on this forum when searching for things about my Clio, so I joined. I drive a Phase 1 MK2 Clio 1.4S in pearl black, I'll post a pic later if you want to see it although it is bone stock.
