Looking good Dawn! Out of interest what does she drive like compared to other 1*2's you've had in the past?

Cheers Luke! I'm loving it! It drives absolutely spot on tbh, feels tight & very capable. Easily one of the best driving/handling wise I've had & I've had 9 now !

Few bits collected for her, de ja vou!

Massive thanks to G172! Great, speedy service!

She's booked in Tuesday to have the following -

Service
Aux belt
Rear discs & pads
To cure 2 small corrosion patches on the underside
Fix the speedo (I'll miss the mileage count not going up much!) :dapprove:
Sort the poor condition alt bolt (mot advisory)

Then I will get the alloys refurbished, I'm undecided on colour though. I'm quite taken with this colour

Opinions?

Also, I need centre caps for the 2118's. What ones do I need & will they fit on the front with the nut?

Cheers!

Been fiddling , just need to think of a way to secure them

Idea's? It's a snug fit but need to secure them

TheEvilGiraffe · Jun 5, 2014

Silicone on the back in a few places..?

Done it on mine.. seems to do the trick

Mr R. · Jun 5, 2014

Tiger seal Dawn, it comes in black, grey or white.

A good bodyshop should have it or ive just bought a tube from eBay.

C2kev · Jun 5, 2014

Interested?

VIICarCare · Jun 5, 2014

Very! Could you post? How much you after?

Cheers boys, I'm contemplating pro race 3's now!

cat171 · Jun 5, 2014

Get the current wheels done in standard Speedline anthracite :approve: with decals too (if they are Speedlines, I dunno I'm blind)

Gally · Jun 5, 2014

Those caps look awesome Dawn, sealing them is is a bit silly if you need to balance tyres once refurbed though?

White wheels is a one way ticket to insanity! I was bad enough with Silver!

I will do it for 110 posted if you cover the paypal fees. Pm me if you want it

JezzaMac · Jun 5, 2014

Looks nice that but I would agree that bright silver wheels would look a lot smarter!

Are the wheels actually 2118's? Maybe its just because they are in an unusual colour my small brain can't tell if they are 2118's!

VIICarCare · Jun 5, 2014

Yep they are 2118's. Wait & see chaps, I hate white wheels now. Lol

My work will change the tyres for me anyway

Chip-mk1 · Jun 5, 2014

Looks a nice car, I hope it brings you many days of happiness before you sell it.

VIICarCare · Jun 5, 2014

Lol, thanks Chip!

JezzaMac · Jun 5, 2014

Guess who has a set of Pro race 3's in white that he MIGHT want to swap for some 2118's?!

VIICarCare · Jun 5, 2014

They look lovely, but are in white!

What fitment have you got for the clio? Demon tweeks don't have the 60.1 bore

VIICarCare · Jun 5, 2014

Right, just ordered the following.

Tiger seal
20mm hub spacer kit
16mm hub spacer kit
Speedline corse decals in dark red

Alloys going on Monday for refurb

Spray shack custom bullets on order

No worries Dawn, you're welcome!

It's looking good, impressed with the little debobbler thing

I'm sure it will be up to your usual very clean and tidy standard soon enough :approve:

Tip for you. The de bobbler doesnt get quite close enough to remove the bad bits.
Best thing I found after using the de bobbler was to go over the seats with a disposable bic razor!
Might seem odd shaving your seats but it works lol.

VIICarCare · Jun 7, 2014

Cheers buddy, used a razor before & it does work! I want to change the seats for Recaro's so this was just to neaten them up

VIICarCare · Jun 7, 2014

Project shiny this weekend! Aiming for this! Loved this thing soooo much!

Mr R. · Jun 7, 2014

Not that much.

You sold it.

VIICarCare · Jun 7, 2014

Hence the new flamer!

imprezaworks · Jun 7, 2014

your first one was awesome. New one is lookinf good too

Jekyll · Jun 7, 2014

Just out of interest, how comes you sold the 1st flamer?

VIICarCare · Jun 7, 2014

Wanted a 197! Had seven cars since that flamer ! Not good. Really wish I stuck with her

VIICarCare · Jun 7, 2014

Mmm shiny!

Ah yeah I remember now. UR197 wasn't it?

I liked what you did with the center caps

If it was me I'd be keeping the 2118's over the PR3's. I don't actually mind them in white either against the flame red but anthracite 2118's are the ones.

I knew it wouldn't be long before you got your cleaning mitts on it!

Ash' · Jun 7, 2014

Love the updates! Is this one staying?... Promise.

The last one you had was lovely.

Gally · Jun 7, 2014

You don't swap 2118s for bloody pro race wheels! Ffs!

VIICarCare · Jun 7, 2014

2118's are staying!

Love this car sooooo much, promise!

djspt · Jun 8, 2014

Cars looking good, take it it's only light corrosion not and that noticeable? Debobler thing looks a good shout for £6.

Cheers! We only spotted a very light patch here & there, hopefully be able to sort it now.

VIICarCare · Jun 10, 2014

Woop! I've got bits! Best packaged cup spoiler ever! Super service from fellow member C2Kev, cheers mate

Few other goodies!

Can't put my stickers on as my wheels are being refurbed. Can't do the other bits as the car is at my Renault garage! Can't wait though!

Next stage - Undercarrage bay detail :approve: Possibly get the calipers painted.

Silver or Black ?
