Needs scrapping!

 

[Mr Plums]

The clocks look great in that colour mate and i love the Renaultsport decal.

 

[Jekyll]

Thanks my darling, Im really happy with the colour. Yeah i feel the RS decal breaks it up and looks subtle but smart.

But yes, its defo scrappage time now its close to 120k

Unless, forged, megged, super whizzy turbo boosted rebuilt engine with all the bells and whistles..... All of which isnt happening!

 

[Clio_fool]

Get a clio turbo conversion done on it. Then you can have a fast clio that needs loads of fettling and is worthless that you can have sat at home going nowhere.
A bit like @Christ Almighty has[emoji23]

Actually ive just got to my mams and wiped an rs3 on the bypass, and i peeped my 'fixed' horn at him as i went past, i tried to put my passenger window down to wave and grin, but when i pressed down it went up.

You fixed the window then. Good job [emoji23]

Love the new colour Mark, looks factory fresh in that photo!

Gave the Sabelt a clean today. Well i tried the best i could. Unfortunately its lost quite a bit of colour but its a lot better now than it was before i started. It will do until i get it retrimmed. I do love the wheel and even more so now that they have been discontinued, so its worth keeping it now. Will look great once its retrimmed, but unsure when that'll be.

Mark, how long did you have the steering wheel on the car till it needed cleaning? Cheers Gareth

 

[Jekyll]

It was already on the car when I bought it Gareth.

I probably do it every 3/4 months but I also work with metal/cars so I do have dirty hands even though I clean them.

Sounds good, noticed they can be bought new again (well in a month or two) and always fancied one, although Alex has the Sparco one and that is nice also, thank you, much appreciated :up:

 

[Louis]

Your clocks do look awesome

I know its personal preference but i much prefer this to the sparco one.

Thank you sugarpie :smile:

Managed to get some inner arches :smile:

Traveled up to rugby to get them which is approx 2hrs away from me, but i wasn't get much luck elsewhere. Turned out they was in really good condition. Also picked up some speakers for the rear from one of the cars being broke as mine were knackered. Got some JBL ones which are ok. Not the best, but better than broken ones. I fitted these in a lay-by on the way home! (No pics of the speakers)

Saturday i set myself the aim of fitting the ach liners as the weather was good.

Bought myself some new torx screws for the bumpers/arch liners as the old ones were buggered.

Cleaned out the crud from behind the rear arch liners

Aches were still pretty clean

New screws fitted along with the liners

Had some new ones of these kicking about so i used them, although i didnt have enough so i had to use some of the old ones. I kept the best ones though.

I was missing some screw clamps so i quickly popped over Halfords to pick some up.

Then i pulled out a colour coded drink to slug in the sun

All fitted

Gave the wheels a clean while they was off. Going to need new front tyres soon....

Then gave the car a clean and went out later on to get some quick pics.

 

[R29TJR]

Still looking great, as usual!

Glad you got a set of arch liners, as you say look like they are a good set.

 

[andy_coops]

If you want a handful of those plastic circular clips shout mate as I've got a pile of new ones in the garage

 

[Jekyll]

MOT today. Hope all goes well!

 

[cat171]

I reckon it will mate

 

[Djw John]

182s that are the best colour always pass fine so it'll be reet

 

[Clio_fool]

If yours does'nt pass nobodys will pass!

 

[Jekyll]

 

[R29TJR]

Fingers crossed.

 

[Jekyll]

Happy days

 

[Stefan.]

Did you chuck him a crate of beer for the no advisories...... :tongueclosed:

Look great!!

 

[R29TJR]

Great news.

I've got to get mine done soon.

 

[Jekyll]

Haha, no Stef! He did a proper check, I was watching.

He did mention about my 3/4 plate and decat but I had the spare in my boot.... :wink:

 

[Jekyll]

Tom, I only realised on Sunday!

Me and the missus was out and she asked when it was due. I said later in in the year, maybe october? She said she'd check as she knows what I'm like..... yeah it runs out this Sunday!!

All good in the hood now though

LOL. They do come around very quickly. I can't believe garages etc don't build up a database and email/text/call to remind you, surely they are missing out on business.

Mine is due early August but as it will be the first under my ownership I want to get in early.

 

[Djw John]

Proof that it's all about who you know!

 

[Brookie.]

Good stuff mate. The Mini's in for it's MOT today too. Hoping for the same outcome.

Sat waiting for that dreaded call 😂.

 

[imprezaworks]

£40 Mot
£45 Mot Pass.

Joking. Car looks spot on as allways

 

[Rojer]

My pass cost me £50, need to start looking elsewhere...

 

[182_steve]

Great stuff Mark, always good to know it's gone through all ok, no advisories is what you want!

Me and the missus was out and she asked when it was due. I said later in in the year, maybe october? She said she'd check as she knows what I'm like..... yeah it runs out this Sunday!!

This is when you know she is a keeper

 

[Mr Plums]

My pass costs me £65!

 

[imprezaworks]

Turbo innit

 

[CFAB]

Just gone through the whole thread whilst at work on the loo, made for good reading, car looks wicked.

Post are always on point, like it.

Job is cool as well, I work for jd classics. Classic car game as well. Digging the build.

 

[Jekyll]

Ah I know JD classics. We have just had a genuine DB5 and DB2 go back to there.

 

[rs 1an]

I'm glad it passed Mark bring it over when your free give it coat of hydro2 and a good clean.

 

[Clio_fool]

Told ya it'd pass. When did you get the big ghey wing on it? Did I miss an update??

P.s. My pass only cost £30 #YorkshireMan [emoji57]

 

[leeds2592]

How the hell did that shed pass with no advisories? Defo paying the MOT guy a couple of quid

 

[Cupblues]

Great thread, beautiful car. The Renaultsport decal on the dials is spot on, how it should have looked out of the factory.
