Well only got a little job on tomorrow should be done for half 10 so tomorrow is that day for the brakes! And if weather holds out I may even attempt to freshen up the head lights!!

 

[Paul.M]

I'm brimming with confidence now thanks to you 2! Cheers lads hahaha

Haha sorry! It's pretty straight forward job even if they are rounded, I took the hamfisted approach though and went straight for the chisel!

I haven't worked on your car yet?

 

[Phillipsuk]

Well. I was prepared for a day of swearing shouting and cursing.... But it all went lovely, brakes all changed fluid all changed and not hassle with any rounded screw heads! Happy days

Yep, make sure you have a drill on hand ready to drill the existing retaining bolts out that you will no doubtably round whilst trying to get them out.

That guy at that shop was hilarious. He did not have faith in his drill bits at all hahahha

Little update
Shocking iPhone pictures I'm sorry
Got myself some interior carbon trims!





Not sure about the badge on wheel insert so gonna keep an out out for a standard sticker one I like the oem+ look

The bracket on my ecu/battery holder was broke. Cheers @cs_dave for the new one

Came to restore my headlights but 3 brackets were broke so got these for a steal price saves me restoring them


Also changed a few interior bulbs to Led ones.

For some reason my glove box isn't working? Took it out all connected gonna test if it has power going to it at weekend, but any ideas why it wouldn't be?

Purchased some wind deflectors

Not 100% on these yet but will see how I get on when fitted.

Also decided I'm going down the black/red theme not too much just little bits and bobs to make it that little bit different.

So purchased these at a steal as well. Gonna give them a once over to make them a little better they not been sprayed the best!

That's all for now folks!

 

[Phillipsuk]

Well had my first track day today! And have to say I loved every minute, shall certainly be booking a couple more next year!


Car handled lovely, didn't miss a beat performed like a trooper!
But now means I want some nice 15" with some semi slicks and gonna look into a little suspension upgrade!

 

[Phillipsuk]

Well managed a few little bits on the car today

Don't think the pollen filter been changed in a while!


Old grill was a little broken

Added a new one not sure on French flag will leave it in a while see if it grows on me.



Headlights were really bad so changed them and what a difference!!!

 

[Phillipsuk]

And then finally gave her a wash and clean after yesterday's Cadwell visit so just some pictures for attention!







That's all for now!

 

[182_steve]

Car looks great, love the on-track photos!!

It amazed me when I stood back and looked. Probably one of the best things I've done so far makes it look cleaner fresher newer??

Gonna get some G4 and tackle a lot off the plastics I heard good stuff about that.

I'm trying to choose which photo I'm gonna get put on a canvas for the man cave!!

 

[182_steve]

Defo the 1st one where your looking at the front of the car, that's an awesome shot!

Girlfriends just said the exact same thing as you! Surprised she answered me to be honest, she's not a fan of cars lol

 

[Phillipsuk]

Well gave the car a clean today! So thought I'd go for a drive in last bit of sunshine for some photos!

Little update

[Clio_fool]

What wheels are those? Don't think I've seen them on a clio before.[emoji38]

 

[Phillipsuk]

if anyone knows I'd love to know

 

[Phillipsuk]

Well them wheels no ones ever had before. So rare I've never seen them on a Clio are finally done!



Love a bit of purple rain!!!

White wall for the win!!!





Sadly I'm missing 1 center cap f**king ball ache if anyone has one would be nice or knows where to get one from?

Also just ordered some black bolts to keep with the theme!

Next thing is to replace my broken splitter ooooooo the pain to my wallet!

And then I think it's suspension time!!!

Who's loves waisting money? I LOVE WAISTING MONEY..... P.s don't tell the misses!

Thanks for looking

 

[Clio_fool]

Looking good. She knows, they always know!

 

[Phillipsuk]

Everything for the car is £40 lol that's what she thinks anyway, she's not that silly just scared to tell her otherwise lol

 

[imprezaworks]

Car looks great

 

[182_steve]

Car looks very smart indeed with those wheels

 

[Phillipsuk]

It's scrubs up ok, passenger wing could do with a spray or a new wing. And replace broken splitter on front, then just a case of maintaining the outside....... Hopefully lol

 

[Phillipsuk]

Well, I have the car a little under a year up to now. And so far I fall more in love every time I drive her.

Decided to treat her to another oil and filter change this weekend. Just to show her she's loved,





Spotted a leaky rear shock, so went ahead and ordered a set of genuine Renault rear shocks. Easy job really



One thing I've noticed is when braking my dog light on dash board comes on, also when right indicator is used it appears but not when the left is used

Any one shed any light on this?
