Almost Mint...

[Christopher]

Er, hi... following on from my last thread, where I was declaring the car SORN, I've now got a few more weeks to play with due to numerous reasons.

So I used this weekend to do a few things that have been pissing me off for months.

I cleaned all the seatbelts. Any 182 owner knows how sh*tty they get.
I re-painted all my callipers in gloss black, as before.
I bought two new 2.0 16v badges, and kept them chrome.
I had all five Turinis refurbished in gloss white. And two new PE2's.
I replaced the front pads, and bled the system. Twice.
I changed the oil and filter, and added more coolant.
I secured my backbox heat shield, since it rattled a little at idle.
I disassembled my ECU cover and reassembled it. Renault did it incorrectly.
PC'd the roof and sides. I'd do a write-up, but I CBA.
I re-painted my interior strips, and the front diamond.
(I've just bought a carbon diamond for the front, so that'll be on soon.)

Pretty chuffed with the results. It still needs the bumper painting, due to the odd stonechip/discolouration, but it's getting there. I'll do that whilst it's off the road.

Oh, and I took the plate off to PC it, then realised I had no more velcro tabs. Knob.

Anyway. Here's a few pictures I grabbed before. Apologies for the location.

Welcome to Manchester.

Carbon front will look hella gay with white wheels and then silver badges.

Carbon diamond will look great, easy to change if you don't like it.

[Christopher]

[Feirny]

[steve 172]

Perfect, love this car

 

[hollandcup]

Car looks awesome mate, just how i want mine :approve:

 

[will.clio!]

Velcro tabs? That would make them easy to steal?

Look's Mint though, loose the evo sticker though.

 

[Christopher]

Why lose the sticker?

I take the plates off regularly, so I can clean behind them.

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

nipple ring is gay

thought u had a standard diamond for the front now chris?

Other than that its mint mack the carbon off standard diamond ftw!

 

[will.clio!]

Just a personal opinion, every half falling apart civic and scoobys etc round my way have them, and it's advertising a magazine?

Understandable about the plates though, but not something you want to get stolen, to find they're being used to drive into London without paying the congestion charge. Took ages to explain my plates had been stolen and that it wasn't my car.

 

[Christopher]

I did have a standard diamond, but I reversed over it.

LOL.

It's still the best magazine about, IMO. 9/10 people with the sticker are genuine enthusiasts, and not pikeys. I've had one on all my cars since I started driving. The police don't even pull me over for it, either.

I'll take the risk about the plates though... I need them to be removable.

 

[will.clio!]

Fair enough And i actually like the nipple ring as long as it doesn't have a big sticker and an arrow advertising it's there

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

LOL.

that be why the white one is still there then lol
only badge i dnt have about 4 of in the garage aswell

Any tips for the seatbelt cleaning?

Is the AG Interior Shampoo stuff better then APC? agitated with a shoe brush no doubt?


Looking good btw.

Yeah, I think so.

Firstly, soak... and I mean soak the belts in warm water. Then use a clean nail brush with neat AG Interior. Worked a treat for me.

 

[mickstoke]

looks cracking:approve:

 

[Ben]

Lovely example.

 

[MarkCup]

[Feirny]

[Feirny]

[Christopher]

This is the largest PB can handle on my account.

If you want them in the original size, I'll have to email them to you.

 

[Feirny]

Cheers dude.

 

[Mish]
