Car arrived on the 14th July from Ford so for the last week ive been detailing the car in stages, ive just finished LSP today and thought id upload some pics.
ive washed the car more times than ive driven it LOL
Firstly products used:
Wash:
2BM,
Dodo BTBM,
CarPro Merino Wool Wash Mitt
Wheel...
Quickly made these today to check my one day old C5 on alloys and Exhaust, the colour of the ST wheels are such that you cant see the C5 coating going on!
first time using C5 and really like it, i half did the brake callipers but will do them properly on the weekend...
im after a light for the garage, the ones you see on DW on tripods and can also be used for swirl spotting
like:

I have ordered a Spirit Blue Fiesta ST3 on lease and thinking about what to use on it in terms of polish/wax
it will come with dealer prep so i hope it will have minimal swirls
the last car i had (octy vrs) i got on a 3 year pcp (new) with the intent on keeping it so i got it Cquartz (CQUK)...
thinking about buying a tablet and the Advent Vega looks pretty good @ £250
anyone used one? thoughts?
ive read viewing angles aren't that good?
Thanks
damn the UK roads!
side wall damaged so need a new tyre
i have Toyo T1R all round and they have ok treads
so not sure what to do?
buy 1 t1r and replace or buy 2 new fronts?
fitted a bmc cda this morning, unbelievably tight fit, anyway managed to get it fitted and was just wondering what the general concensus was about the CAF? should i use one or leave it open?
if i use the CAF, am i supposed to take out the stock CAF and position the BMC CAF in its place?
Thanks
want to get a replacement as my one is looking a bit tatty
original one from Renault is £40!
just need to know the size i need to buy and will pick one up from ebay.
Thanks guys
So was just checking the engine today and found this piece of hose loose by the CAF.
any ideas what it is and where it should go? car is driving ok and no visible leaks, the hose is hard rubber and dry, sort of smells like coolant when smelt if that helps
thanks
Cliosport sticker in rear wibrow. Recessed exhaust with cup badge under the clio badge. Looking very clean :-)
Was 2 cars behind you at parrswood lights. Not in my clio though.
Two schools of thought:
1) you use the stickers to warn off potential thieves
2) if you use the stickers then the thieves know what to look for when they do steal the car
just curious to see what your thoughts are on this
thanks
ok, so its the first time i am reoiling an itg filter, gave it a good clean with petrol and let it dry for 24 hours.
got some itg retention spray (http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m35b51s3493p29525), its the JDR-2 spray for road use.
Ive done the bottom but do i oil the top too...
Nothing amazing but just wanted to show you how well fk1000p holds up, pic taken on 30th July 2010
really impressed! this is just one layer done in May 2010.
:D
Hi guys
was replacing my brake discs today and when i was doing the near side i noticed a bit of a leak.
took some pics:
The jubilee clip was covered in the gunk too so i cleaned it off.
do you think the gaitor is leaking? or does the leakage look like its happened...
thinking of getting this fitted to work along side the ai606
in 2 minds at the moment,
some people say its a waste as by the time you get the text on your phone and you go to your car the thief's would be gone by then (if its a smash and grab job)
price is about £160 fitted
any thoughts...
just been on the phone to brentacre regarding new quote, they say i can do anything what so ever to the car as long as i tell them about the mods and it also must not exceed 180bhp
does that sound a about right? i doubt il EVER reach this figure without spending silly money lol but just...
interesting head to head:

im thinking of getting my car tracked as not sure when it last had it done so better safe then sorry, do not want my new tyres to start wearing unevenly
rather not take it to Kwik Fit so does anyone know of any decent garages that to tracking in or around Manchester?
had some spare time today and thought id take a few pics of the car before i change the alloys this week to turinis :)
wanted to take some more but a plod van turned up asking what i was doing, to be fair i shouldn't of parked there anyway lol so had to move...
looking for a set of new tyres for my cup turinis alloys i have just bought (i have a non cup clio 172)
been searching and these 2 tyres come highly recommended.
hankook only comes win 205 size and the rainsports in 195
would the hankooks be ok on the turinis and will my car handle any...
