Thanks mate. I like both the wind deflectors and the carbon though.

Cheers man. I don't know whether to get the scratch out first or buy a set of turinis. Decisions decisions!

 

[ArcticBlue182]

What colour turinis you looking to get for your arctic mate?
Im currenly looking for some turinis too for mine, but cant decide what looks better silver or anthracite....

I'm thinking anthracite dude. Silver is tempting but I just think they take attention away from the cars colour itself a bit to much if that makes any sense at all lol

I gave the car a clean inside and out this afternoon, so decided to get a few pictures.

Thanks mate. It started raining just as I'd finished. Typical, but it did need a good clean to be fair. Best to get all the crap off than leave it on I suppose. At least, that's what I will keep telling myself lol.

what mileage is it on? I almost bought one identical back in sept, both cup packs (inc front splitter), arctic etc, but didnt go ahead with it. Lookin at that makes me wish i had done.

It was at 75,000 miles. Done a few thousand since buying it and have had no problems. I absolutely love it though.

I decided to buy a set of HID Full Beams for the Clio as when I flash people it just looks rubbish and down country lanes and dark roads, the lights are the standard yellow colour. Only cost me £25, which I thought was pretty good. Some pictures below, but they're not the best pictures as taken of the iPhone but should give you an idea of the difference. With the HID fitted on the right and without on the left.

HID on the left, standard on the right on this picture.

Lovely mate!! Really want your gearknob!!

 

[subarufreak]

would you have the partnumber from the bumper light? or clear cover

There is a number on the bag it came in underneath a barcode that reads 77 00 410 754. Not to sure if that's the part number or not? Hopefully it is

Looks great, really smart.

Sorry mate, will try get them up soon for you.

 

[chapperzuk]

A few pictures of the new numberplate light casing as requested. Took these when getting a few pictures with my mate in his Honda Civic Ep2. His car is pretty much the same colour as mine to, probably slightly different but not to the human eye

 

[PP200t]

Cheers for those, really like the look of it! Car looks lovely btw!

 

[morgam23]

No worries mate, thank you

I got them from eBay. They're Team Heko wind deflectors.

I brought a Si Tow Eye from Meek_racing on here at the West Midlands Clio Sport meet at Star City in Birmingham yesterday. Here's some pictures of it fitted, quite happy with it.

 

[b2-stingray]

Car looks Great mate best colour by far , dont really get the whole towing eye thing though, always reminds me of a bull with its nose pierced but each to their own.

Did it come with the F1 team sticker on the bonnet, i have a little stone chip thats starting to bubble right where that sticker sits and it would cover it up a treat lol? Grills looking a bit faded, sorry to point that out, i dont mean to be negitive just annoys me went plastic fades on cars, im going to G4 plastic treat mine and when its finally on the road.

Thanks mate! Having the hole in the grill with nothing filling it annoyed me so I decided to get the tow eye. It came with the F1 Sticker when I brought it, might be worth covering your stone chip with one. I want to spray the grill and fog surrounds at some point as they are fading. I agree though, it's really annoying when the plastic fades on cars.

Sorry feel like a git for posting about ur grill, just shows how nice your car is if the only thing some gimp can point out is a faded grill lol

Haha not at all mate, constructive criticism. It's the people that just have nothing nice to say that p**s me off. I need to get the alloys refurbished and resprayed at some point. I was considering turinis, but think I'm just going to stick with the standard cup alloys.

What aerial is that matey?

 

[Hodgins]

with the high beam HID kit, did you have to buy the ones that take a feed off the battery? so thye dont have to warm up so to speak?
its something i fancy doing

Here's a link to the aerial on eBay for you.

Hey mate, I didn't buy the ones that connected to the battery. They do take time to heat up to the proper colour, but when they do they're really bright. They still look good when flashing people out as well though. Much better than the standard yellow ones. I can drop you a link to the set I brought if you like?

 

[Hodgins]

thats why ive been thinking about it, you can get a harness that takes a feed off the battery and they flash instant as such, well so ive been told.
it would be good to see them flashing lol, like the newer expensive cars have.
im in no rush to get it done, jsut an idea but if you got a cheap link then why not lol

great thread by the way

Thanks mate. I will try get a video of them up at some point, flashing and everything lol. I'd say they're well worth getting though. I paid £25 for the set off eBay, which was a bargain really. Link here

 

[RB182CUP-FF]

Thanks mate! Just had a search online and it does seem to be a Richbrook Gear Knob. Thanks for clearing that up!
