Just get the paint code and get a motor factors to make some paint up.

Unlucky dude. You aren't the first and sure won't be the last to have a woopsie whilst jacking up a car lmao. I used small sections I cut from an old tyre. Works a treat and stops the jack head on the trolley jack from beating the crap out of the underside of the motor.

Need exhaust alignment sorted too bud. Maybe an exhaust rubber or two.

@George182

My bad. They are 15". Just re read the posts. Doh!

Good job. one thing tho. Are they definitely 16" 172 wheels? They seem small in the pics lol. More like 1.2 15" wheels :tongueout:

Must be doing something right. Eh John!?

After having a child step in front of me whilst I was doing circa 28mph in my wife's old car years ago and having no abs, locked up in slightly damp conditions, slid and almost colided with the child. It was the first time I had to proper emergency stop in all my years of driving and I had no...

If you just buff the lights and put no uv protectant on again it will cloud over again in no time.

Ps have you had french stuff before?? Lol. If reliability is key to you perhaps think again... Another appreciating classic if you could find a good one would be an E36 M3. 300ish bhp, rwd and a lsd. 172 and 182 clios are fun but they don't make sence if not cheap. As someone said above at 5.5k...

Id buy neither. 5.5k id rather buy a newer 197 with recaros or an fn2. No way would I be putting 5.5k into a trophy approaching 100k, itd be dead money after you keep it for a year or two and put normal mileage onto it. Who would want to pay anywhere near 5.5k for a clio with say 120k...

Belts done 2/3 years ago eh! 60k and 4 years since belts done. count yourself lucky you dont need an engine and change things well in advance next time.

Good man updating with an outcome!

Awesome colour !

Looks clean dude. Id debadge the rear. Fit a small front plate. Fit a small aerial. And fit an RS front grill!

Clean wee first motor!

Ktr sticker off. Trs strap off. Black bumper inserts to cover the fact the fronts been painted. Some tyre slick and boom!

A fap fap????...... Somebody masturbating in the boot?

If anyone is refurbing their headlights remember to protect the lights with uv protectant or else they will cloud over in no time again! http://www.meguiars.co.uk/product/451/Headlight-Protectant/

Also worthwhile changing the washers to mist type also if u haven't already

Standards anthracite Lowerings springs Spacers Front splitter and Rear spoiler A noisy ass exhaust. Done!

Such a tidy looking 182!

Leave the angel eyes for bmws. Leave the xenons unless you plan on fitting some headlight washers to keep it mot friendly...

Nice job so far!

Yea. We had a megablade same deal. But on that the mani and can were still not the furthest thing sticking out, the wheel arches were. ;)

Love your updates. So detailed!

See attached for pics with and without the inserts

@Ady182 aka N2grafix does them in a decent vinyl, Matt black for circa £4 posted or @Renault Wolverhampton OEM Inserts for circa £20 http://www.cliosport.net/forum/member.php?70511-Renault-Wolverhampton

They are clio 172/182 carbon spats made by hot carbon. I bought mine on ebay. They didnt fit great with the tape they came with, and I wasnt for drilling holes or plastering adhesive all over the skirts to get them fit better.

I know those exhaust are supposed to be the dogs.... but will it even pass an mot seeing it protrudes past the bodywork lmao :p
