Mish's Clio Cup Project

[Mish]

I'm new to all this proper detailing. Always washed and dryed properly- but there's so much stuff out there these days for cars!

Rinsed
Washed with Poorboys
Dryed with Raceglaze towel
Clayed with Magiclay
Washed/Dryed
Wax with Nattys Wax
Meguirs Tyre black

I never got why people spent 4/5 hours doing this... but the reward answers that once you've done it tbh!

And a HDR

Re: My first attempt at a 'proper' novice valet on Cuppy

The aeriel works, I like the look of it... and it doesn't touch the top of the garage. Car goes faster too

Re: My first attempt at a 'proper' novice valet on Cuppy

Looks bloody lovely. Despite the results it still gets me racked off after a few hours!

Re: My first attempt at a 'proper' novice valet on Cuppy

[Hazza]

Re: My first attempt at a 'proper' novice valet on Cuppy

Looks like a Prospeed one.

 

[Mish]

Re: My first attempt at a 'proper' novice valet on Cuppy

BMH... I have little patience, so this was like an endurance test for me!

Haz= Fail!!! Foxy, it's a Yozzasport - absolutely love it (Noise/looks)

Re: My first attempt at a 'proper' novice valet on Cuppy

Re: My first attempt at a 'proper' novice valet on Cuppy

Cups look so good std.

 

[Mish]

Re: My first attempt at a 'proper' novice valet on Cuppy

Ahh, it's not though Ali (It's a tad lower)

I get what you mean though, you don't 'need' to make changes for them to be a good looking car. Shame the interior is a bit crap!

Re: My first attempt at a 'proper' novice valet on Cuppy

Your telling me the interior on the Cup isn't a bit crap?! I like the dash etc, but as you move back it get's more of an afterthought. For something so bloody good on the exterior, I've always felt the interior let them down I'm sorry! haha!

Re: My first attempt at a 'proper' novice valet on Cuppy

I don't mind the interior on my Cup, I've never thought it to be crap. I mean I know it's no f**king Audi but I didn't buy it for the rear bench.

Get that ariel changed, see my last thread. Mazda MPS ariel ftw!

Already PM'd! I had one, then gave it to gaz for the 197! Much better!

Re: My first attempt at a 'proper' novice valet on Cuppy

I'm a girl- NOTHING will EVER be 100% right for me (even if in reality it is)

No Pecan, you're right, it's not an Audi, but it's my opinion! I don't want gadgets and fancy bits galore- it's just a bit too plain in standard form for me. I don't care now I have the new seats in tbh!

Re: My first attempt at a 'proper' novice valet on Cuppy

[Mish]

Re: My first attempt at a 'proper' novice valet on Cuppy

Revels my sweety friend, I too thought that- but I fancy something a bit 'different' eventually... without being too wacky.

Coilovers next, then the wheels

Thanks for all the comments folks. Cander- we'll let you off

Re: My first attempt at a 'proper' novice valet on Cuppy

Looks great, what suspension is it on if you dont mind me asking ?

 

[Peperami]

Re: My first attempt at a 'proper' novice valet on Cuppy

Ride height looks good, apex springs at a guess?

Looks mint clean, nice job mate! Did mine today

 

[Mish]

Re: My first attempt at a 'proper' novice valet on Cuppy

Apex Springs yes- so unfortunately I don't always feel great throwing it into corners like I should.... Coilovers next month will solve that problemo

Re: My first attempt at a 'proper' novice valet on Cuppy

I like very much!

 

[Mish]

Re: My first attempt at a 'proper' novice valet on Cuppy

Anyway I can update the thread title on here folks- so I don't have to fill the board with all my crap?!

Update for today. New headunit fitted- nice and easy job. I like it- alot.
Also, sprayed up both Reno badges and the side bullets in graphite grey... as that's the colour scheme I'm aiming towards. Then colour coded my oil cap cover that arrived- good match, but doesn't sit right, so I'll have a look at that tomorrow.

I then De-wipered the car (contraversial I know!) but I like it. It has to be one of the biggest pain in the arse jobs I've done on the Clio though... out of everything!

Re: My first attempt at a 'proper' novice valet on Cuppy

stunning

 

[Revels]

Re: My first attempt at a 'proper' novice valet on Cuppy

I'll change the title for you, what dya want it to say?

 

[Mish]

Re: My first attempt at a 'proper' novice valet on Cuppy

Erm I don't know?! Just 'Mish's Clio Cup Project' or something... then I can just update.

Thanks matey

 

[Revels]

Done.

Im considering de-wipering mine, just need to find a plug that fits.

 

[pecan]

Nooooooo, don't do it, it looks terrible! Looks like someone's nicked it.
