If you're looking for a way of getting the seats looking decent, I remember on my old 182 I used an old razor and carefully shaved the nobbles off and it worked really well. Then just used some upholstery cleaner to clean them up.

-- If this post belongs elsewhere, by all means move to where it should -- Hi all, Should be getting a 3D printer in a couple of weeks and wondered if anyone has any images of past Clio (MK3) bits they've done. Got a few ideas myself but would be good to see other ideas. Cheeky question, but...

Knew I had a photo somewhere, bit tatty but all there. Not sure how rare they are, but a nice addition. Even has the original Renault Team F1 emblem on the oil

My 197 came with the original goo kit, would probably came out with the force of a frube if I tried to use it. Also came with the elf oil top-up kit with a paper funnel, Renault napkin and glove :)

Ah right, id always thought it was only the cup ones that had a key. I do agree though, i prefer to have a key. I worry about the security of it and the card never sits right in my pocket.

Not sure why yours hasn’t got the keyless / push to start. So from what ive read, they were only made in 2009, most things were options anyway but the LUX pack was a £1000 option that had pretty much all options (bar a few like sunroof and things). I think the included bits were: Interior: -...

I've not seen another one of these other than mine in person, came with quite a few options didn't they.

I looked at the sprint spoilers, I agree they are the best option, just wanted something cheap and got quite a bit back for the cup spoiler. Really appreciate the offer, think im just going to take the plunge and spray them anthracite when the weathers a bit better. I want a clean look, might...

Added these to my to my project page but thought I'd add them here as well. Few shots of mine now. Took the K-tec cup spoiler off and put a GT spoiler on, wasn't the nicest of things to implement but think I prefer it over the cup one. Got some of the carbon effect handle covers too.

Yeah, ive had it on for two years and fancied a change. Love the car, just want to make it a little less boy racerish, but ultimately racing blue isnt exactly a subtle colour is it [emoji23]

Haha, at least it wasn't factory fitted, but yeah it looks bald now 😂

A couple of phone pics, but made a few changes and cleaned the callipers as best I can, mainly going from the K-tec cup replica spoiler to a GT spoiler (Wrapped it black to match, as I wrapped the roof last year but thinking of taking that off and going full blue). Trying to go for a more OEM+...

Hi Guys, I've seen a few posts where this looks to be fuse related. But from what I can see, the other things that would stop working if the fuse had gone (numberplate lights, aircon etc.) are still working. Need to change the bulbs to see if its just a coincidence but has anyone else had the...

Hi guys, just driving along today to the shop and had both the ABS and traction control lights come on and also the messages on the speedo screen saying check ESP AND Check ABS, its had new brake disks all round about a year ago so the only thing i can think of is theres crap on the abs rings on...

@massivewangers In regards to the numberplate lights. I ordered both numberplate bulb holders from euro car parts quite cheaply and was surprised to find that they sent genuine Renault bulb holders with bulbs.

Crisis averted, when i went out in it last night i didnt put the key in the slot, just been out put the key in the slot turned it on and off and the key buttons work again, must just need that initial key in slot

I’ll change it tomorrow again, only changed it a couple of months ago. But it was working totally fine this morning before i changed the car battery, i suppose i can live without the buttons on the key card for now

Hi guys, cant find anything on here with this specific issue. My 197 has been playing up and ended up being the battery, tonight i swapped the battery for a new one, re-calibrated the windows, starts fine now and can lock the doors with the button on the handle (keyless entry) and everything is...

Cleaned and restored the Lux pack seats today, come up nice.

I know, i keep umming and arring. I think it would look weird if i didnt lower it as well [emoji848] ive lowered cars in the past and the ride was just so hard and scraped on everything [emoji23]

Little birthday treat from my girlfriend, read a load of great reviews for Royal Steering Wheels and got to look at it for the 100 mile journey back :D i've seen that not many people go for the alcantara sides due to it going a bit weird, but couldn't resist. Looks mint!

New tasty addition to the 197 from Royal Steering Wheels, i'm on instagram as lbautophoto if anyone fancies following :)

Ah right thanks, might have a go at that one saturday. With mine being a Lux packed one, its got silver bloody everywhere haha, ive wrapped the wing mirrors, but left the vents, but i agree the handles look better color coded like the MK2's

Like the wheels, was thinking about doing my handles RB as well, but didn't know if it would look good, are they easy enough to get off? or would you reckon it would be easier to just mask them up?

Yeah they all are :) the other two are down the side of the A50 where that huge abandoned building is

Decided to get my camera out, few shots from the weekend

Quarantine task to the engine bay looking decent again complete, used a few Autobrite bits to get the plastics clean and back to black. Also sprayed the rusty trim bolts silver to tidy them up.

Two years of ownership and still loving this thing! Not a lot has changed in the past year, as i quite like the OEM+ look, mainly tidying up bits and keeping it clean. Few bits i've done: - Wrapped roof and wing mirrors gloss black - Cambelt, pulleys and all that megubins at Dimond Motors -...

If anyone else has this problem, theres no need to remove the interior boot trim. If you crawl into the boot, on the boot latch on the inside, theres a white circular piece of plastic behind a transparent silicone cover that can be pierced. With a screwdriver, pierce the silicone and push the...

Great thanks i’ll have a crawl in the back then [emoji23]
