Finally washed the clio.

[JFS]

Hiyer guys,

Well after getting a new pressure washer and snow foam lance for my birthday i decided i would crack on and give the Inferno a clean.

Before.

Snow foam worked great after finally working out how to get it to foam properly Cant believe i used to wash the car without one. Gave the wheels a spray of Bilberry whilst the snow foam did its stuff.

After i washed the car again with AutoGlym shampoo and a bucket of hot water then dried off. Next was a coat of AutoGlym SRP and finished off by waxing with Dodo juice orange crush wax Really happy with how it came out and Inferno looks sooooo much better when its clean !!

Unfortunatley as soon as i had finished it rained, but at least it looked great for a short interval

Thanks for looking

Jay

nice little motor old boy

 

[JFS]

Cheers guys,

Yeah i know, planning to get it on 15's by the summer if i can save enough. Was originally going for some sportlines but may save the extra for Coilovers.

Just weighing up the choice between black again or anthracite

 

[MartinR]

looks nice, your exhaust is a bit tucked in under the rear bumper

2 words.
Tyre. Gel.

Spot on though.

 

[Sanders]

Looks well mate

 

[leewxm]

looks tidy...possibly needs a front plate from fancyplates...it'd tidy it up even more

If im honest i cant remember what the old one looked like, Should my exhaust not be like this :S ???

 

[JFS]

Cheers guys

Do you mean a 3/4 plate mate ?? could do with no longer advertising the garage lol.

no,not the 3/4 plate....i made a balls up & bought a 3/4 plate & it was too short....380x89....the 1 i got now is same length as standard 520x89

Cheers Lee, will look into this.

 

[Ben.]

loving that!

 

[JFS]

Cheers Ben,

Really love the colour when its clean

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Nice !

But ..

 

[Jordi17]

Nice are those plastic wing mirrors though?

 

[JFS]

Ive got some autoglym tyre stuff but unfortunatley over looked this , note for future though.

Cheers Jordi, They were the original Inferno wing mirrors but i scratched one of them parking in the alley. Decided to spray them black as it probs wont be the last time and its easier to touch up.

Think i will have to have them done Inferno again though if i go for anthracite alloys instead of black.

That looks lovely. Tyre gel is a must with gloss black wheels. Like as said, drop it on some coilovers and it will be sweet.

 

[JFS]

Thanks

Out of interest is tyre gel the same sort of stuff as tyre dressing ??

 

[DrR]

Looks good, but agree exhaust is tucked in to much.

 

[Kane.]

Love it, you should keep it on 16s imo, tyre dressing doesnt really leave a gloss like tyre gel or last as long.

 

[JFS]

How exactly should it sit Rollo ?? I never noticed :S

 

[JFS]

Cheers Kane, I will pick up some tyre gel

 

[st3ve]

lol the tyres are already black as the ace of spades!

looks so glossy btw.

Shame it will be dirty so soon after.

 

[Rob]

Colour looks brilliant, I do echo the comments on the exhaust and tyre shine (I'm hardly one to talk though).

 

[Robbie182]

Looking very nice mate im definately going to have to invest in a snow foam lance. Personally i like the black wheels and mirrors i wouldnt change it. Could maybe try some carbon wrap on your mirrors rather than black??

 

[hipwell]

nice and clean mate.

exhaust should look more like this, sorry for crap pic

 

[Crippin]

Absolutely love your car.
Think this colour is by far the best in that shape!
I might get a snow foam thingyyy..

Cheers St3ve, it rained all nite so it needs another wash lol

Hiyer robbie, definatley reccomend the snow foam. I was really impressed with it Yeah i prefer the alloys in black i think, just need to decide on a set now lol.

 

[JFS]

Thanks hipwell, think i am going to have to look into the exhaust. Would it be just the way it sits in the hangers or is the pipe too short maybe ??

Cheers Crippin, Its a lovely colour when its clean. Would really reccomend snow foam, cant believe i used to do without.

Needs black headlights to finish of the colour coding... I sent you a pm about my black 172 Cup non xenon headlight I have for sale very soon once my black 172 xenons arrive... Just let us now, and we can sort out a price...

Si

 

[JFS]

You did Si i appologise for the late reply, are the 172 headlights the same as the 182's ?? Gotta pay for a service and mot this month but will check the future finances and let you know
