All of the white mounts where snapped and kicking about in the housing along with a lot of other stuff.
This way I could clean inside it too
Gently heat it up... Then pull and pry like f*ck!
I still have the other one to do, I'll take some pictures if you like?
Edit: I then used clear silicone to re-seal it. Been two really wet nights since and not a drop inside.
Titanium 182
yeahyeah man pm me with what to do and that, mine are the exact same at the moment
Update:
Got the xenon's fitted, bullets, shark fin style aerial and some fog tint.
The tint might not be to everyone's taste but I think it goes well with the wheels
For the eagle eyed; I know it's not

Looks good, although a splitter and OEM wheels would look better...
Update #1:
I thought I'd show my current ICE install.
First of all I build a false floor using the carpet as a template. I wanted it in two parts to I could still have access to my spare wheel.
All fitted up nice and snug to stop it moving about.
I bought two of my uncles kicker subs. I decided to use the box they came in.
I wanted it to look as O.E as a 10" sub could. In an attempt to achieve this I hid the amp under the sub.
Update #2:
While I was at it I thought I would add a second boot light. As above I wanted it to look as O.E as possible, I used the space that Renault decided not to.
I drilled holes and cut a square away for the light to slot into.
I drew the power for the additional light from the existing wiring loom by extending it.
TO BE CONTINUED.

Looking good, could do with a bit of lows and spacers to finish off the outside.
also, a splitter and the black bumper inserts will tidy it up a lot too

Continuation of the previous update:
I powered the second boot light by extending the current loom.
Cut and connect a new wire. Decent speaker cable will do the job fine.
Run the new wire to the other side as shown in the picture below (Boxed to the best of my ability :star. Then just connect it up to your new light.
The poles don't really matter if you are using the standard halogen bulbs, if you are using LED bulbs you might have to switch the bulb around for it to work.
I ran a long line of duct tape along the wire to make sure it isn't tugged at.
Pretty bad that last picture I know :banghead:.
It's definitely an upgrade I'd recommend and is a very easy one to do. It makes life in a dark street, car park or garage a little easier.
Anyway, to finish off the update I lined the sub box and floor with black carpet.
Looking at them last pictures I could do with a new number plate light housing.
C+C's welcome!

Knuckles, I put my non-sport splitter on and I think it looks pretty decent. I'll get some pictures .
The black bumper inserts don't bother me at all to be honest, it's a job I'll get round to one really bored day, haha.
To do list:
-Lower
-Space wheels out (would look into subframe conversion if one came up cheap enough)
-172 wheels or 182 cup wheels
-New plates
-I'd also like to do a rear disc conversion if one came up at a decent price.

Big improvement dude!
I've probably skipped over as I've just been looking at the pictures but where too in South Wales are you?
Your to do list is pretty much spot on and it'll look great!

THIS Is a boot light.
Thanks man. Where abouts in Cardiff are you from mate?
Clio mk3
I'm from Caerphilly mate
Oh yes, I see it to the left now :eyeroll:
Quite surprising we have not seen each other about.
Update:
I bought a donor car. It's a ph1 172 exclusive with 114K on the clock and a noisy dephaser.
Got it for a tidy price which I couldn't say no to.
So we got the suspension, brakes, whisbones, axles etc off the car and onto the Replica. The plan was to freshen everything up with a lick of paint, but I'm on a limited timescale with where I'm storing the car so I will freshen everything up at a later date.
The top mount was a little difficult to remove, with snapping the allen key in the strut :headbang:
So I got a little annoyed and got to a point of "no return"...
The shocks have Eibach sportlines on them which make the car sit perfectly for me and give just the right ride comfort for me. Not too stiff but stiff enough.
I have to say, I'm amazed at how different the car feels, it feels like a different car (almost is I know :eyeroll: ). It just heads in the direction I point it now.
I'll leave you all with the picture above until I get some of how the car sits

Weld me a new turret in and I'll consider it
How about you weld it in and pick the car up dirt cheap
It's going to be scrapped if nobody takes it when I'm done anyway.
I just thought I'd finish of this project thread with the end of this car.
A week or two after (can't remember how long exactly) finishing the suspension conversion, a guy driving carelessly ran into the side of me whilst I was driving.
This is where the project ended and I fell out of love with the car.
So I had a window from the exclusive fitted and a new light so I could still use the car for a short while and then sold the car on.
Then bought myself a DCI and I love it! :smile:
(I know I should have bought these wheels for the red car)
Thanks for reading my project thread.
The end.

Won't have been this car mate. Was probably the car of the guy who bought this off me. He used it for all the parts.
Was gutted hanging the keys over.
Probably was . I've bought a sport bumper kit just like this project but I'm unsure on how far I'm going to go with it.
I've also just bought a 172 today . So my heads in the shed when it comes to cars. Don't know what I want.
