Because race car

But yeah hurry up with those stickers, There are also black stickers on the top of the bumper under the grill. Once you have these on it will make 10000x more a difference!!

Then I'll get mine properly detailed and it might be catching up with yours in shinyness

P.s I'm actually astounded that no-one knows about these stickers???

bumper inserts defo needed to finish her off

Paul, the RB should be on the road in the next couple of weeks, but that probably means a filthy car from you....sure you cant be tempted to crack out the jetwash just once to meet the RB

Oh yeah, I didn't actually notice the ones on the top. FFS
I agree though. It'll make such a massive difference. The photo I posted of ours annoys me, as your front end looks much nicer .
I am surprised that not many people know about these.

You'll be playing catch up on the detailing side of things lol. I'm going to be full-on-anal with it next year.

Maybe. Not sure. I have 2 cars to detail before the weather gets too cold, so it just depends whether I have the chance to do mine again. Id prefer not to though lol.
Post shoot editing could come in handy if mine is too dirty . I don't mind having a dirty photoshoot (but do some of the RB separate).

 

[Coops Mk1]

sounds a plan chap, i'll give you a shout when she's a running

 

[Rob]

Fine, no ph2. Poof.

Ph2 seats are better, they actually go with the dash better. Just saying.

Looks awesome though Paul, really tidy.

 

[welshname]

I really like the ph1 binnacle the ph2 item reminds me if a pair of binoculars. And the clock themselves. And the gear knob is a million times better.

 

[Harpham]

Coolio. Just drop us a text (if you still have my number) or a PM when you're ready and we'll sort it out!!

If the seats are to be replaced, it'll be with Trophy Recaros. (But that'll be well into the future, when i'm not so much of a pikey and have sorted the other little bits I have planned)

Cheers though!! Never been so attached to a car.

 

[Harpham]

So, today has been an eventful day for the 'flower...

Beading up well this morning.

Then, the reason why i've had a slow puncture.

£13 later and it was repaired.

Then just got back from the CS meet.

Car is starting to get dirty now. Not looking as shiny Must resist temptation to clean.

 

[Adamm.]

P.s I'm actually astounded that no-one knows about these stickers???

What stickers are these? lol

Looks awesome Harpham Sunflower <3

 

[Rob]

Consider one thing for me please? Hear me out.

Ph2 PLASTIC side strips, so the OEM look stays, but you get nice bullets to match your wheels and well, they're just a better shape etc.

 

[Harpham]

No Deal.

 

[Rob]

I can't see why you wouldn't. Subtle update to the car. Each to their own I suppose.

 

[Coops Mk1]

shame I missed the meet, car looks good as ever Paul

 

[Harpham]

I can't see why you wouldn't. Subtle update to the car. Each to their own I suppose.

Silver bullets, with black strips, wouldn't look right against the car. Too many colours across the paint. Plus, they're Ph2.

shame I missed the meet, car looks good as ever Paul

Cheers matey. It's actually starting to have a nice covering of dirt now, so is starting to look duller .
Ill try and get down on Sunday if I can.

 

[welshname]

it looks good and needs more lows.

I wonder how much it's killing you to not clean it all winter.

 

[Harpham]

Service bits arrived today for both Sy's and my car.

God knows what the CDs are though. Renault decided to charge me £25 extra for some reason too. Maybe those discs we're expensive and not freebies afterall lol.

Just waiting for my Pipercross filter to be delivered and then we can DO THIS s**t!!!

 

[Rob]

How much did you pay for plugs from Renault? Are you insane?

What plugs are they in there mate?

 

[Harpham]

£36 with CS discount (for each set of 4), which is pretty much as cheap as you can get them anyway.
They're the NGK ones that everyone buys, just in Renault packaging.

 

[Christopher]

NGK's normally.

Love this car.

 

[Harpham]

Hooray for good parking skills.

He came equipped with a scabby looking box containing my filter.

Meaning that me and Sy will be able to service the cars as soon as we can arrange a play-date.

 

[Toby]

That's hella gay.

I'll come and watch though

 

[Harpham]

Update

So, quick update...
Tax was up t'other week. Urgh, bye £220.

Service Sunday

Sym0n and I serviced our cars today.

I actually managed to do some of the things myself too, without breaking anything (too much). I'm now officially a RenaultSport Specialist.

Need to sort out the Coolant asap though, as it was pretty much empty and looked hanging. Type D from Renault?? How much of it do I need? Will 5L be enough?
Also going to order a new bottle for it, as mine is ditched to f**k.

So, the car is now prepped fully for winter (minus the coolant issue). Starting to look very dirty...

Few more months of no cleaning (it's been 5 weeks since it's winter detail) and hopefully ill have a contender for the dirtiest car competition (before going full anal next year).

 

[Harpham]

I'm itching to clean it...

Dirty Sunflower - 1/12/12 by Harpham y0, on Flickr

Few bits i've got to sort now. It's going down to Diamond Motors tomorrow for a coolant change, as i'm too retarded to do it myself.
Also, the washer motor has broke and the centre console display has gone, so ill have to have the dash off at some point soon.

The OH has ordered me a Dogbone mount for Christmas. Boom!! She's definitely a keeper .

 

[Stu.]

Dirty sunflower you say...

Not got it stripped and ready for track yet? :rasp:

 

[Jon.G]

You wanted another Clio didn't you? Add it to your past collection...

 

[welshname]

If I tilt my screen back it's the colour I wish sunflower looked...

On another note if you're going to get the dash out fit a ph2 one whilst you're there.

 

[Harpham]

Dirty sunflower you say...

b*****d!! I may take a trip up to Scootland just to get my car that dirty. I want to get it as ditched as possible whilst i'm refusing to clean it.

Infact, next Monday i'm up norf in Yorkshire on a course. Close enough.

You wanted another Clio didn't you?

Nope. I think one shed is enough to deal with right now . Ill have the Recaros though.

On another note if you're going to get the dash out fit a ph2 one whilst you're there.

NO DEAL!!

Got these tonight:

Haii gearknob warmer.

 

[Jon.G]

LOL. Recaro's are yours mate 4k, and they come with a free car.

Deal.

 

[Djw John]

Lol, thanks to FB eh Paul?!

 

[Harpham]

Lol, thanks to FB eh Paul?!

Maybe ... It would have been rude not to tbf.

 

[Djw John]

Lol, makes a change for us to use them and not ipod socks, I'll have to go get one now that Dave and Robyn are rocking them as well!

 

[yeecup]

Man up!!!! :rasp:

 

[Paul172sport]

Stu wash that car!

Definitely agree with the knob warmer lol

We must do a flower meet next year for sure

 

[Craig.]

Haha where did you get the mini beanie hats from? Free with the innocent?

Agree with paul on the flower power meet.

They did the tax wrong, only paid £137.50 on the 17th of november and they gave me tax until this date!

[Harpham]

Yeah, Innocent Smoothies .

And it would be one epic meet. Something will have to be sorted next year.

You got away with paying less then, as Ph1 172's are £220 for a year and Ph2's are £250.
(Unless you have a dodgy motor and is down as a 1.2 or something on your documents)
