Clio Sport 182 '05
Purchased my first Renault Sport about a month ago now, thought it was about time to start a thread
Previous Cars
Saxo VTR (Typical French ending ...)
VW Lupo GTi
Audi A3 1.8T
Picked her up with just under 55k on the clock, great condition, interior immaculate, Sportex back box and tinted rear windows the only modifications made.
Got her home and gave her a good clean outside and in, which brought up a few imperfections but nothing that wouldn't be expected on a 9 year old black car.
All of the wheels are scuffed but they are being rectified next pay day
Got on the Bay and ordered up some new bulbs for the interior
Fitted Alpine 2 channel amp with front components
(Excuse the amp, not got round to tidying up the cables yet)
Noticed the seat belts where getting a bit dirty so got them scrubbed down and let to dry
As well as interior bulbs, was informed by mate who has had a 182 before that the splitter was missing (Doh!) so popped into local Skoda and picked up Fabia replacement and fitted it with a mates help
Tabs cut off to make it easier to fit
On a drive home last weekend, noticed slight rattling coming from the rear, so went to investigate ...
Quick trip to Wickes (other hardware stores available) and picked up some even bigger washers, see how long these last as seems to be a common problem from posts on here!
ClioSport pack Turned up other week, so got the interior cleaned and tax disc holder on and rear sticker (hard to see under tint but think its works well ...)
Currently half way through sorting the headlights out as quite a bit of clouding on both
Also waiting for some polish to turn up to try and get rid of the badge outline after my attempt to de-badge New Renaultsport badge to come ...
That's about it so far, just a quick post to show progress so far
Any comments welcome.
