Yes buddy that's the way to do it, just need to check the dimensions of the seat your buying, to check they will physically fit into the clio
And yeah airbag is just a case of resistors
Cheapest option is to sort of make your seats using the clio runners etc om the new seats
Relatively straightforward but a pain in the ass job
You can buy frames, but they are generally very expensive, if you can find ones for he seats in question
When I had a 1.2 before my 172, the best thing I did was change the interior for the sport version
Can pick the interiors up cheap compared to most cars, think I paid £180 for the whole lot
Halfords are doing 4 litres of engine oil for £12 at the minute too which helps!
Not sure about where to get the addative, maybe euro car parts ? Not sure
Lol okay, well oil changes help prevent tappet noises by keeping it all clean inside etc
Obviously I can't say for certain from a video if it is that, but it does sound like it
If it where me, I'd do an oil change for the correct oil. You can also get some additive for the oil to help with...
Not sure what to do, refurbish the bbs again will be a pain in the ass. That's why I was thinking some sort of standard alloy, no paint to chip off then! But there's very few I like and fewer still that fit
Is either powder coating or plasti dip more durable than painting ?
I prefer the bbs but I'm just not happy with the finish now, and as they are splits it's not straight forward to respray them when they get damaged. Any idea if powder coating is any more durable than painting ?
I think the audi alloys are off a TT but not 100%
Cheers buddy, nah can't say I...
ok, the bbs are turning into a nightmare to keep clean and they also chip insanely easily which is very annoying because im OCD about having a clean looking car
so im thinking of selling them and getting a set of these, however in 16s not 17s but the picture gives the idea (not my photo or car)...
I've got a green mk3 golf, will keep a look out
I know, I saw it too late and already had plans :( will try get to the next gathering of any description!
Never mind bud, you were happy to buy it so don't feel bad. Just try and sell it for a good price but be reasonable, put it on faFacebook and gumtree etc which are free for a high is price, if literally no interest then just drop it if you decide to pay for auto trader or something
It's worth...
You won't know without phoning up bud as it depends on the under writter of your current policy. They may be fine with your age on a 1.2 say but that u der writers policy might say no under 25 in anything over a 1.6 etc. Had it when I swapped bikes last year, was on a gsxr600 for like £300 fully...
Get a few every now and then, don't tend to use it much in the week, misses gets a lot if she takes my car out. always gets good comments aat shows too
In the last 6 months had 1 random person and someone buying my bike try and buy the car from me when it's not for sale lol
You should be able to update your insurance but dependant on your age and insurance company they may either say no or be outrageously priced. Get a new quote on comparison site for a 172 hen ring your own insurer and see what they offer, then haggle
Although your uncle owns a garage does he do...
Deleted some stuff the other day it was about 75% full, but I had about 10 games installed
Had my X box a year have only seen about 2 updates I think, does everything when it's off
Installs take ages though
Went from a 1,2 to 172 a few years ago
Petrol wise no real difference from day to day. Tax and servicing is the killer
Easiest thing to do is buy a car that's not long had all belts etc done. Car might cost a bit more but will be worth it when you see how much a major service can cost
And...
Not sure if there are any straight off the shelf packages but talk to k-tec, if anyone can sort you out I'm sure they can
There is also a clio turbo company up north somewhere but not heard much of them tbh
