I figured I may as well do one of these as I never bothered with my 182 because I hardly changed anything on it !
However I have a direction with this car.
Ph1 172, 60k FRSH.
First job is to tidy it up, so far I have replaced the aerial with a standard item
(£12 from Renault ! should have just bloody nicked one.)
Haven't got a picture of that you know what aerials look like.
I need to get rid of the Clio decals on the calipers as they aren't my thing really so red / silver paint needed for that. Can't decide what colour yet ?
The wheels were filthy so they got removed, cleaned with 1:1 billberry dried off with a spritz of QD and sealed with chemical guys wheel guard.
Arches got scrubbed up too but it was too dark for after pictures, when I get a day off I will wire brush the rust off the rear axle and paint them hammerite smooth black.
The car had a couple of scuffs which were wet sanded then attacked with the PC & Mezerna to bring them back up. (can't see them in the pictures but meh)
I also gave the car a oil + filter change, I still need to get a new airfilter as Halfords are useless and don't stock them.... TOM!
Fuel rail guard is a B1tch to get your hands under to change the filter and I didn't have a long enough socket to remove it
I tried to "correct" the headlights using the guide on here but I'm an absolute moron and I used 80 grit instead of 800 grit to start with so now I need an hour or two to sort out the headlights as they're all scratched :dead:
That's my first week with the car. Hopefully coming soon will be seats, coilovers, replacement steering wheel, the calipers sorted, uprated brakes, and maybe some track wheels! oh and Ph2 rear lights.
I will probably PC it this weekend too
I don't know if I will update this again but I will try
