    New here - Looking to buy!

    As above, the good examples are becoming harder and harder to find and the prices are rising, especially the RB tax..! Good luck on your hunt!

    Matt's Racing Blue 182

    No way! 2118s are possibly my favourite clio wheel. I've done the turinis and TD 1.2s before on previous cars, so wanted to try something else this time.

    Matt's Racing Blue 182

    I've also ordered a few parts that turned up during the wheel swap. Went with BC coilovers, I was really impressed with Ash's when he took me out in his trophy. Delivered and coated in AFC50 Along with the coilovers, I also ordered a PMS shifter, I've had one in my previous car and it was...

    Matt's Racing Blue 182

    So the turinis have gone and replaced with 2118s, which I managed to source from @frayz (sorry for the picture pinching) Test fitted to the car: I was unsure on what tyre, but finally settled with AR1s. Tyres fitted and wheels sealed. While the car was on stands, I also cleaned the arches out...

    Matt's Racing Blue 182

    That looks well mate, I'm liking the Brembos. Mine are the cup (ET38.5) offset Turini's, so the 18mm spacers will be too big. They are more of a future plan, where i'll be moving to 2118's and eventually the 280mm Brembo conversion. Also, I've some BC coilovers on order, these will replace my...

    My Black Gold (no)mod thread

    Just skimmed through your thread mate, loving looking car - I'm a sucker for black gold! I'll be keeping an eye on updates!

    Matt's Racing Blue 182

    You're right, they may fit without issues, especially on my current prolines. I just think they might look a bit odd at the current car height, I don't want it looking like a monster truck!

    Matt's Racing Blue 182

    Managed to fit the rear axle spacers today, 10mm either side, was fairly straight forward and looks much better. I've got some 18mm PMS fronts, but they are for some 2118s when I get some, they're too large for the turinis. Before: After: And the other side done..

    Inner rear arches protected... After seeing a few people inspecting and finding some rust inside their rear arches, I bought some Bilt Hamber products, and expecting the worst, I tackled the rear arches today. My products consisted of: Hydrate 80 - rust remover Electrox- Anti rust primer Satin...

    Thanks for the kind words chaps. It makes a big difference! See link below for the aerial, as mentioned, I cannot comment on reception with it yet. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153206208881

    ... and then onto the passenger side: Before: After: Much much better imo! I have ordered some Bilt Hamber corrosion protection, so the plan is to tackle the inner rear arches and see what condition they are in! Thanks for reading

    A few more bits done to the RB over the weekend. I have a paintless dent removal guy out Friday, who went round the car taking out all I was unhappy with. Really pleased with the end result. First of all the easiest change, I swapped out the large aerial for a bee sting, I'm guessing the signal...

    Matt's Racing Blue 182

    Thanks mate. I haven't to hand, but I can grab some. It is indeed the KTR centerline, with non res and decat, so it is quite noisy, but no real drone. I'll grab a video for you tomorrow afternoon.

    Thank you mate. Give me a PM, I'd be happy to sort you out a good deal! 👍🏼

    Matt's Racing Blue 182

    Small update: After @Ash J fitted his awesome pole position, I managed to poach his Recaro Trendlines from him. Popped down yesterday evening to collect them and managed to get them fitted today. They are on Jon Foz X-Low frames, which have improved the driving position 110%. Ash even threw in...

    Rusty’s Titanium 182 take 2!

    Looks a good one mate. I'll look forward to watching your progress with it. Silver on silver is really underrated imo!

    Matt's Racing Blue 182

    Yes, it's got a trophy spoiler on. The black gold I sold to, I'm not really sure why I sell them, because I always regret it!! Thanks mate, really appreciated!

    Matt's Racing Blue 182

    A few more minor bits arrived today and fitted after work. First off new interior mats, as I personally wasnt a fan of the old colour coded mats. Only genuine Renualt Sport mats would do. Then fitted the silver vision bulbs to remove the "egg" look. Rears: Fronts: And a couple of the car...

    Matt's Racing Blue 182

    Thanks mate. Plan is to sort the interior first with the wheel re-trim in full black with anthracite stitching, paint the dash pieces and speedo bezel anthracite and retrim the roof / A pillars in Alcantara while still doing small bits (new mats, silver vision bulbs etc.) Then I'll start to...

    Final thing to do was to give the car a good clean. Full wash including iron out, clay, polish and wax. There are a few minor area to address in time, but overall I'm really happy with the paint. The all important pictures:

    Matt's Racing Blue 182

    I had already bought a Sabelt wheel before I had a car, I was going to wait to get it refurbished, but my impatience got the better of me. Old wheel: New wheel is a Sabelt with OMP boss and phase 1 indicator stalk. I've not bothered with the cruise, as I never use it in the clio. Next up was...

    So, having owned the car a week (and now my 6th RenaultSport Clio) I thought I would start a project thread. After looking for a while, this Racing Blue came up for sale, it was 2.5hrs away, so a trip up on a Friday afternoon had me leaving a deposit, to be collected the following day. A quick...

    Thank you for all the kind words chaps! They certainly do.. this one is a keeper! I think I said that last time, and the time before that, and that, and that... 🤣

    Racing Blue 182 - HV05 WLK

    Thanks mate, I'll have to change the name I suppose! Haha. Cheets Ash, also my RenaultSport no#7 as I also had a 250. I'm really pleased with this one! We are virtually the same person when it comes to mods, so I'm sure you'll like it.. it will be a RB version of your car by the time I've...
