Hey man, I just searched CREE reversing lights on eBay I am on my iPad so it is a faff to link, but when I'm back at my flat I will post you a link
Update
So I made a last minute decision and went home at the weekend as the weather was predicted to be good on Sunday, fortunately it was (for most of the day) so I got the sunroof out and resealed it as well as sealing the drain tube to the plastic connector, after checking it over the seal wasn't that bad so this has confirmed my original though that it is the drain tube connection that is leaking. I also fitted my CREE side and reversing lights they are seriously bright I would definitely recommend them.
my 16mm spacers have also arrived although I didn't have time to fit them. that will have to wait for another weekend as well as pictures of the new bulbs as my phone ran out of battery.

So a few little things In this update. (I apologize in advance for the poor quality phone pictures)
so firstly a pic of the front wheels spaced, it looks slightly strange with the rear ones not on.
So after ordering a few things from auto finesse I got some free samples of tough coat and illusion wax, today I gave the car a top up clean and finished it of with illusion and then tough coat.
Really impressed with these products and will definitely be ordering some of both products, they were easy to put on and buff off and the finished that both tough coat and illusion was simply awesome, I don't think I have seen the car look this good.
After the car was all finished I finally fitted my MCM sticker that I picked up at the Uk meet and added my new autofinesse air freshener that smells like strawberry laces.
Finally a bad picture of my CREE reversing lights they are incredibly bright!

Cheers mate it has come along way since I bought it
looks much better!
Yeh just a few can's of paint, primer and clear lacquer from halfrauds
Yeh it sounds good when idling no need for much revving I got a friend to fit for a bit of cash.
Not a bad idea might give this a go when I have the time.
They where removed from the car if you take of the inner boot lid trim you can get them both off, the clio badge pops off and you need to remove 3 bolts to get the diamond off.
Titanium 182
agh right cheers mate I'll give that a try tomorrow.
Update
Not so much an update more a few new picture with my new 50mm lens enjoy.
The Car is incredibly dirty but just wanted to try out the new lens

Good effort. Id do the rear drums black too
A local place recommended on here.

hi mate, got under the boot liner to try and remove the 'Clio' badge but I can't get my head around how to get it off?
You pop the badge off from the outside
Just force, push on the two pins and it should just pop off. iirc
you're better off pushing it off from the inside to save any damage trying to lever it from the outside
Yeh I think one was quite awkward, just force it if you can get it away from the paint work then you could put something round the badge and pull it from the outside.

Alright then cheers mate, I'll give that a try.
It needs to be trimmed down and then either cable tied or sealed in place.
Update
It has been a while, but I have been busy starting another semester at uni and working on this years formula student car. Anyway just a small update.
First off I finally re-sprayed the centre diamonds on my turini's.
Its not the best job but they look much better than they did.
Up next one of my headlights had started leaking so I removed and re-sealed both of them.
Once the headlights where refitted the car got a good clean including its first claying, it was then finished with c2v3 sealant and G5 Gtechniq. (and some mercury metal polish on the exhaust tip)
And finally not particularly car related the 1*2 fund has taken a bit of hit after I splashed out on a new PC setup.
One last picture its not really relevant to this update but it shows just how far this car has come since I brought it almost 2 years ago.

Very nice example mate, looks tidy!
Hey dude! Car's looking totally insane! Love the Turini's and the rear bumper especially! I was just wondering as I've got a 1.2 and want to get some mods done, how do you afford the insurance? haha! Like how much is it costing you? cheers
Cheers, yeh the insurance is the killer the only thing that brings it down is no claims, also pick the right insurer, some charge more per mod than others.
Very nice example mate, looks tidy!
Cheers mate, next up a nice 182 I think.
Update
So it has been a while since I have updated the tread mainly because of uni work and the search for a new car. Anyway after deciding I wanted a change I stripped most of the mods off my 1.2 (these will be for sale shortly) and set about finding a replacement.
After looking at a few 182's and not really finding what I was looking for I decided to explore the possibility of something not small and french, that leaves me here:
MX5 Mk1
