Hi there, I'm not into detailing really, and never actually let my cars get into so much of a state that they need anything drastic doing to them. I normally wash my (decent) cars once a week, or maybe twice if I'm lazy/it's winter.
The new gf's mk 6 golf is black metallic and was looking...
Not sure if this is the right part of the forum or not, but it is a technical fault, and know a few people on here have Saxo Vts/have had them in the past.
Mine has been fine until recently, but now it's hunting a little at idle sometimes, and holding onto revs sometimes when in gear. It's a...
Not really into cleaning the car, but the S2000 I bought could be tidier bodywork wise and it's bugging me now.
Wheels are just ruined really - they've been curbed a bit, and they've coroded/got brake dust permanently embedded in them. Also got hte surface flaking off on two of them - going to...
Just thought I'd try posting on here - a mate with a 1.2 Clio (extreme I think - maybe on an 03 plate....?) just rang to say he took his handbrake off fine this morning, but when he went to put it back on there's nothing at all - just flat out isn't working.
Inevitably he wants me to have a...
As above on ring road in Bristol last night - prob around 7 ish - I was in a red mini cooper s coming out from aspects park by Asda - came across silver 182 with black bonnet that sounded pretty lairy (think I've seen you a few times on the ring road now) plus a trophy I think. Both came flying...

As per the link - my sub/amp/box/wiring kit has to go - it won't fit in the new car and is just taking up space in my flat.
No reserve, 99p starting bid. 3 people watching it already...
Well, I finally sold the 182 I had, and took the plunge into VX220 ownership - only got round to taking some proper pictures today as been out driving it so much!
Car is bright yellow, but the camera is only a phone one, and the colour hasn't come out that bright on it....enjoy.

Looks like my Clio 182 at 5250 is now the joint cheapest, non cat D write off with cup packs (and mine is lower miles then the other one) on pistonheads.
Need some better pics, but essentially arctic blue and totally standard bar the gearknob being...
Didn't know if this was the right section, but would anyone consider some kind of deal to swap wheels?
I have 15" OZ Super T's in immaculate condition and after either Anthracite 182 wheels, or 172 cup wheels.
Any kind of offers - just pm me and I'll consider it.
Thanks
Joe
Found a car I was interested in, in a garage up north somewhere....thought I'd see what they'd give me in part ex for my car as would save the problem of selling mine.
2004 clio 182, 42k on the clock, frsh, 11 months mot etc...
...I expected it to be on the low side but 3500 seemed to be...
Not a for sale thread exactly which is why I haven't put it in that section - I have a 3/4 month old set of Gaz coilovers and 15" OZ wheels on my 182 at the moment, and someone is interested in buying it at the moment.
Only problem is they'd like standard wheels and suspension (don't know...
Need a pair of new exhaust mounts as my 182 tailpipes are hanging a bit lower then they should. Did a search and people said GSF or CES were good for cheaper parts then the renault stealers can provide (not up for paying 18+ vat for each mount).
Tried GSF and they don't have them for the 182...
I flashed my lights, you waved - haven't seen your car round Bristol before - badge makes it really stand out. Just been test driving 172's up the road for a mate.
My mate has a yellow Seat Leon Cupra that used to be the UK Seat press car and it had graphics in chequers on the bonnet in the past. When she bought the car it was barely visible at all, but she neglected it and they're quite bad now.
Spent the weekend washing/de-tarring/t cutting/waxing the...
Thought I'd post a few pics of the 182 after lowering it on Gaz coilovers this week, and then spending a fair few hours giving the car some tlc. Don't think it's ever been so clean.
Sorry, yet another project, but one without a decent budget lol.
Thought I'd put on a few links to photos (don't know how to make them come straight up like some people do...computers not my strong point lol).
This is as it is after a few months of having the car...
I've checked all the guides/searched etc and can't get a conclusive answer for this.....I'm selling anthracite 16: 182 alloys and keep getting asked....
Just a thought at this stage (hence not putting in for sale section) but considering swapping my 16" 182 wheels for some 15" compomotives or speedlines (then dropping it quite low on some adjustable suspension). I've no idea what my wheels are worth to sell though - 2 are in really good...
Had a little play with a Clio197 (think special edition one with stickers on) but didn't get a chance for a proper race as you pulled over on the first stretch as I came belting up behind you, then couldn't catch me up on 2nd stretch (I've got an Arctic Blue 182). ALmost got past when I got...
I've read as many threads as I can find with the search option on this one but can't find an answer to my question.
Fitted renault sport (sabelt) steering wheel yesterday, and connected the horns fine, but got a problem with airbag light etc. The Momo boss cam with what appears to be a 2 amp...
Just home from the gym and spotted a white 197 cup in the carpark at longwell green, have to say it's pure filth and I want one! Trying to convince the gf that it would be a better replacement for the cooper s then an Audi A3 2 litre turbo (not s3).
Saw a girl driving a silver Clio sport yesterday on the road out towards Castel Coombe from Wick nr Bristol - pulled into a lay by and looked over as I drove past.
Think my mate just spotted a dark blue Clio sport with a girl driving with the numberplate Eiiy or something like that on the ring road, apparently she gave it a good go but his 3000bhp white Scooby had a bit too much power lol! Anyone know whose car this was?
