Drivers side painted, gonna paint passenger side later and the roof Tmro maybe, also smoothed the washer jets, it's gonna be 2/3 weeks till its finished will get pics up later

 

[h4ml3t]

got both sides painted and roof primed needs flatting and painting also smoothed washer jets and the number plate screw holes on the boot, the paintjobs alot better than before its slightly more creamy and has more pearl looks awesum out in the sun! really happy and 4 heavy coats of laquer so iv got plenty to flat back and get a perfectly flat finish, wont be finished for another 2/3 weeks so wont be attending FCS this year

whole car stripped and primed and aerosoled and flatted to perfection 10s of hours!! but well well worth it

Colour build primed and flatted, the primer is shiny

Bonnet stripped and welded

absolutely awesome!!!!!!!

 

[geoffreydemoor]

i'm falling in love with your clio mate

 

[h4ml3t]

No number plate screw holes

 

[geoffreydemoor]

just a little question . what kind of popper do you use for opening the boot lid?

 

[Mickb]

looks good man

 

[G3 NYX]

just a little question . what kind of popper do you use for opening the boot lid?

Probably one from the inside, like the bonnet.

 

[geoffreydemoor]

Probably one from the inside, like the bonnet.

i mean the system for unlocking the boot lid because the solenoids only "pull" and with the clio's need a "push"motion for unlocking

 

[h4ml3t]

the push button doesnt matter, the solenoid is mounted behind smooth bit with the original rod, when u opush the button it push the rod up which pulls the lock open the solinoid is just taken place of the button

 

[h4ml3t]

the doors and boot work on a keyfob, have no pop out springs and they all clear the latches

 

[geoffreydemoor]

what keyfob system do you use ?

 

[h4ml3t]

Autoloc

 

[joshhicky]
