Nice little update :) So first things first, massive thanks to guysy I managed to pop the headlamp ball joint back together, doing this also made me notice the headlamp leveller shaft had been unwound so far it wasn't actually attached to the motor anymore, so two little fixes that took a very...

yes you do mate iirc

Thanks buddy, great little guide :) I had already noticed it was the little ball joint in the centre of the headlight that had popped off, just didnt want to force it and break it and didnt know weather it was indeed a ball joint you could just pop back on or if something had broken on it :) I...

Yes mate there will be pictures up when i have fitted them :) for reference if you need it the part number is 8200082370 they are not handed so just order 2 of them, around £27 inc VAT from my local dealer for the pair. Regards the damper dust covers you need to read more carefully instead of...

Yeah it does need a standard rear bumper, it is next on the shopping list when i have some spare cash, when the stupid cut out is gone the Oreca won't look half as daft sitting under the bumper, i will adjust it so it sits tight up to the bottom of the bumper and all will be well. And you would...

Little update from todays endeavours :) Headlight Correction. Equipment at the ready :) Thoughourly degrease the headlamps (Chemical Guys Orange Degreaser diluted 1:5) Apply waterproof masking tape to protect surrounding areas After attacking said headlamp with 1200 and 1500 wet and...

Haha cheers pal, yes it was terrible, previous owner must have thought the powerflow system wasnt enough and it required the stealth tip removing and some mild steel box section welding on to make it even higher quality ;) Its gone now though! I have been putting a lot of investigation into...

See Guide Here : http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?394322-FubarNet-Guides I'm too good to you ;) On a serious note its easy, four M6 bolts (10mm Socket) and about 10 Torx screws, and don't be afraid to pull hard to pop the clips :)

There is a guide on here mate, a quick breakdown is use waterproof masking tape all around the headlight on the car body work (Wing, bonnet & bumper) so you dont accidently catch anything, wet and dry with 1200 until a smooth even finish is acheived, repeat with 1500, get some meguires scratch x...

Update Part 2 Yesterday (Saturday 13th October 2012) I removed the front bumper, pulled out the old headlamp washers, no wonder they didnt work, offside isnt even connected up and the nearside is the one with the horrible brown water stain under it, obviously blocked and leaking. But anyway...

Update Time :clap: Right, so since last Saturday quite a bit of progress has been made, my picture taking skills are terrible and i was a bit of a fail at taking them, was far to busy in the garage to be taking pictures all the time ;) so Saturday: Fitted Genuine Renault Cup Dampers Fitted...

Re: Clio 172 winter project Seats look great mate, coming on nicely!

Re: Clio 172 winter project Coming on nicely buddy :clap: keep it up! no pictures of Recaro's fitted is a bit of a fail though ;)

No problem ;) watch this space... oh by the way did you notice the link I posted for the LED sidelights for you buddy?

Thanks mate :) hopefully the exhaust will be fitted tomorrow, minus the decat section because its MOT time shortly, don't see the point until after the test. hopefully it looks okay with the shitty cut out in the bumper, long term I will be sourcing a replacement bumper but its getting quite...

Thanks mate :) the cash flow has dried up now I'm afraid haha would love to go supercharged but its a bit out of reach in costs at the moment, maybe next year.... Mechanically I think after all the above parts are bolted on I will go down the cosmetic route and just make it minty fresh, either...

I have quite a few plans mate, check out my project thread :) complete with shoddy phone pictures haha http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?663185-Iceberg-172-OEM-Project Really happy you've got her running again mate, hope it didn't hurt your bank balance too badly :)

:hail: Love this car mate, absolutely gutted for you about the cambelt situation :( Hope mine turns out 50% as good as yours and i'll be chuffed haha!

I've mentioned this in the relevant areas, but just posting here too to keep the thread concurrent. Rang K-Tec this morning, the above kit with the different metal sleeves and black bushes is indeed the new updated kit, Powerflex state welding is not required although K-Tec have advised me that...

The legality of it wasn't what was being questioned, were talking about safety aspects here. And nor am I saying I don't do it, I was simply trying to get a point across. Agreed, more about the project, will be interesting to see how it pans out at the very least :)

And as a biker you don't do anything at all that may endanger yourself? Like traveling up the centre of two lanes of standing or worse moving traffic? Overtaking dangerously because oh I'm a biker I can blame cars for any accident I have even if it is because I'm a moron and doing something...

Does anyone know if these are the new updated bushes that do not require welding into the wishbone? They are the black bushes too not the purple ones if that helps? And yes I know there are three washers missing... Going to have to ring K-Tec in the morning :(

Updates!! Today my delivery from K-Tec came! Whats behind door number 1? Looks obvious... Ohh maybe not? Nice, Eibach Sportlines CNC Ported Inlet Manifold K-Tec Solid Engine Mounts Lower Gearbox Mount Whats behind door number 2? Whiteline ARB Powerflex Dogbone Mount Powerflex...

I did say i may be talking utter rubbish :o just knew that cup racers used bilstein haha Thanks for the correction mate, don't like giving out bad information :)

http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2853&appid=2 For the price, i doubt you could go wrong, but I have no experience of how good (or not as the case MAY be) they are. I think the Bilstein B14 kit is meant to be one of the highest regarded, but its not cheap...

new OEM dampers all round and eibach sportlines is a good cheap combo on the suspension front, i think other than coilovers the next most desireable would be Koni yellow adustable dampers and eibach sportlines, though for the price of the latter, coilovers would be a no brainer for me. What are...

Epic doesn't even begin to describe this build. Hats off to you mate this is truely jaw dropping! :cheers:

No problem buddy, http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/501-error-free-5-smd-led-sidelights-bulbs/ Those are the fellas right there, they are a really nice tight fit into the lamp holder and appear to fit perfectly into the actual headlamp. They looked great last night in the dark, very crisp...

Ah thanks mate, they are deffinately pure white with not a sniff of blue tint to be seen, fitted them this morning, make a great little improvement from what i could see, match the Xenons much better. Will be able to get a better opinion when it gets dark :) Just the drivers Xenon to sort now...

Thanks for the information pal, my house mate is a mechanic at an independent Mercedes specialist and sorts out MOTs for me, he doesn't test at his place he farms it out but it's a nice friendly car enthusiast tester with some mental cars so I'm sure it will be fine :) Regards K-Tec mate I'm...
