I'm not sure if there's a paint code as such for the silver, certainly not for the 172 style chrome finish ones. If you wanted to replicated that finish, Mipa Microm (lightly) over a fine grain silver will be close. The 182 Style ones are 205-110 Anthracite I believe, a suitable silver...

BMW sepang silver is a nice bronze colour

Either black texture, or primed to be painted.

They aren't expensive brand new from Renault , but you'll need it painting. I can supply you one in RB (including part, brand new), OEM and painted by us (any colour) for £52 including delivery and VAT.

I could! Have you tried rupes?

Rotary = FAIL Rupes DA = WIN

BULLETS can now actually be ordered directly from our company's shop..............they are slightly more expensive than the group buys, but you literally can order directly from the web. http://dash-of-colour.myshopify.com/pages/spray-shack or follow the shop link from spray-shack.co.uk

It will most likely be the rear dampers, maybe only one side, who knows, send them to GAZ they will reseal them, I set I had last 3 months of road use at the rear, utterly naff quality, but in fairness to them they did reseal and send them back to me.

Its most likely cellulose.....personally id be very careful with any decontamination stuff like iron x etc, they are all made for the chemical resistance of modern paints that celly just doesn't have. Paint depth wise you will probably be fine, as normally with cellulose there will be many...

Yep £60+VAT+p&p(£5) , sadly they aren't cheap as the masking is a pain, but the finish will be OEM.

A/C , Gear box (crunching) and exhaust manifold (cracked) were the issues I had with mine, I wouldn't own one again personally as its a matter of time for these issues to occur really........~75K mine was on

Theres a guide here, the bumper doesn't need to come off http://www.clio197.net/forum/showthread.php?27322-How-to-change-ALL-the-front-bulbs-on-a-197-amp-200-(inc-projectors-)

Oh my god, they made a hash of that didn't they, jesus. The fact they let them go out like that is disgusting...........you'll need a full strip to bare alloy to put that right lol, wet spraying wheels takes practice!

It really is a stunning colour this.

Have you tried a body shop style panel wipe? or a silicone remover, will have more poke. Failing that, use a Festool nip remover to carefully slice off, I've done this before on a van, but it did take an age, but use with care...

Personally , id leave the f*cker alone, the last thing you want to be doing is pissing money at a N/A engine chasing figures. Probably between 172bhp and 200bhp in real world terms that can be made up by a good driver. Dyno runs really are BS and cannot be compared like for like between...

I run drivers side on passenger side, its fine, I use it as I've got buckets with the wing things, and it givens more view due the bend in the glass.

You can polish it all you want, but i wouldn't wax it or use anything with a sealer in it for a while. The last thing you want to do, is let dirt & crap sit on it, it will mark it very easily. There are no set rules for paint drying times really, its very dependent on application thickness's...

They all go sometime! ~70k+, useless boxes. Mine crunched, in 3rd & 4th, but it never actually "went" in my ownership.

Speed isnt everything, Lol which one will get more snatch? and greater admirers lol.

When you didnt have the wheels tight and drove on it , are you sure you didnt elongate the holes in the alloy......ive seen this many times, alloy is so soft compared to steel. If your spigot rings were not spot on then it would be possible to have the wheel off center very slightly, thus out of...

in my experience with my old 197, it never sat in the middle of the gauge, its about just below the 1/3 when driving very slowly and then just over a 1/3 when giving her the beans. That's normal im led to believe from speaking and looking at other members cars. I've also heard of a few members...

Have to cut standard system, but yes easy enough.

The k-tec pro performance exhaust is brilliant for these cars, had one on mine. Everyone who heard it , said how nice it was, fitment is excellent was well. Its very reserved, and how the car should should IMO, its a deep , quality sounding, and not raspy...

What is the coating? Here if the paint is failing, we have them acid dipped, then very very lightly blasted with fine glass bead, they are then nearly ready for paint after a light sand, we had some done the other day, and they were back to bare alloy, totally unpitted smooth from the factory...

Sorry to hear this mate.

Order in some parts and dont pay the bill :), you know you wanna.

Hes certainly not @ Spray Shack paying for that yellow bonnet i assure you.

2bh my 197 flexi's were blown & it was also broke at the joint to the block on branch 2. They are made of cheese, if your exhaust / engine mounts are worn then that doesnt help, so id change those too while your at it.
