172 cup first pictures and head light restoration (3m kit)

[Stueylouey21]

I have had the cup for a few months now and it's still pretty much as I brought it. As with a lot of the clios the headlights look terrible so I decided to try the 3m kit... Very very happy with the results! I have some before and after pictures and just a few others I took today. Pictures aren't the best as they were taken with the ipad and I'm no expert!

There is so much I would like to change.. Coil overs, wheels.. These wheels were on the car when I brought it (on the hunt for turinis), induction kit ( ktec one ordering this week!) any other ideas would be appreciated.

Headlight before...

pics after and a few more I took today

I got mine from eBay and think its about £ 18. One kit is enough for 2 headlights and I have to say the results are impressive. They look brand new!

Also... Does anyone know where is best to get the 172 cup door badge from? The 2 has broken on passenger side so I only need 1

The front of your car will look so different.. Has to be done! Yeah I'm not keen on the wheels tbh. I have some white team dynamics wheels in the garage.. Might try those. 17's again tho I think

Couldn't agree more.. Best 18 quid I've spent in a while

need some help on getting the 172cup door badge if anyone knows somewhere that sells them and how easy they are to remove/fit?

Badge: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-C...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a27811ed6

^^^ not cheap but that's where i got mine from, just use a hairdryer/heat gun and Gently warm them up. clean area once removed.

Try to get them straight when applying the new one's, use some masking tape to use as a rule.

Sounds easy enough.. What about fitting the new one they just have a sticky back and stick on without using anything else?

Welcome mate, Cup looks tidy. Headlights are a big improvement

Turinis will look miles better once you source them.

yeah they have a sticky back, thats why i said line it up as when i stuck mine down it was a bit wonky, couldnt get off so left it.

Cheers mate, just hard to find turinis in good condition around. I guess here is the best place to find some tho...
