I try not to put general maintenance in this thread but thought I'd say I've put new front discs and pads, provided by @George@RTR_Parts, both Brembo.

fairm010's 1.2 Project
Use the thread for what its for mate you should put maintenance init imo will help when you come to sell
True. I enjoy major updates not "today I pumped my tyres up to 32 PSI. I feel this has improved handling and added 22BHP."
A new upgrade today. Managed to source a power flexed dogbone for this.
Not driven it yet Gus, need to wax it first!
Quite a lot more vibration, but in a good way. The car feels more alive, gets back on the throttle a lot quicker. Very good mod and a peice of piss if you're confident doing it!
great build mate.
I have a little 1.2 black clio as well. Iv massively down graded in cars due to going back to uni so funds are tight. i do have the need to mess around with the car still tho. I cant help myself. This weekend i modified the front bumper by adding mesh where the original grills where. Lower and upper.

Thank you very much Mark. Have a great Christmas!

Thankyou Daniel Sir, I am partial to it myself.
looks terrible
Your 172 didn't say so last night, when it took me to your MUMS house. Ooohhhhhhhhh need some Aloe Vera for that?
Black is a nightmare. Looks amazing when clean, shows all the s**t when dirty!

I went to my mechanic, as some things are a bit beyond me. I had a clunking coming from the front suspension.
He replaced wishbones, ball joints and all associated bushes. Handles like a dream now.
I also had him do a pre MOT check as it is due next month. Only thing that needed doing was the rear shocks are they were buggered.

I had those wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1's, an amazing tyre!
Got them on the car, looking great!
Got a bit overzealous with the jet wash and renamed to ClioSpot.net!

Here it is after a good wash!
The eagle eyed will also notice I removed the tints. God it looks so much better without!
Got some 10mm stub axle spacers on the rear, but I'm waiting for better / warmer weather before I tackle that!

Looks fantastic! Much prefer the Turinis over the 182 alloys. How much did the powder coating set you back may I ask?
great job on the pillars too, eBay material and just spray glue? Or a little more to it than that?
Edit; should've updated the page before I asked that question
Also where on earth did you get 10mm axle spacers from? I can't find any anywhere!
Good work! Looks fantastic!
Thanks Tom,
The powder coating was £20, yes £20 a wheel at Birmingham City Powdercoaters. Only thing is, they don't do centre caps so I'm SOL in terms of painting those.
You want @Dan@M.A.D for the stub axle spacers mate.
