Mk3 Clio Dynamique S Project - midlands - coilovered - MASSIVELY PIC HEAVY!

Looks great Tom! I think our tastes are very similar and it feels like I'm just starting to copy you! Could see myself painting the Grills to better blend in with the pearl black paintwork.

I am day off tomorrow and I don't currently have any plans other than fitting my rear spacers and posting some stuff so it could be possible to meet if you're available.

Kieran they look like the optional rear window tints that you could spec when the car was new. I have them too. Don't understand why the previous owner speced overpriced window tints and not things like handles on the ceiling for passengers to hold onto or backseat headrests lol.

Cheers dude, sure sounds like our tastes are very similar.

No problem, sounds like a great idea. I still have over half of the primer, satin black and lacquer left, so if you'd like to do your grills tomorrow I'm sure I could get my friend over again to do yours too? ;)

Yep you're right, tints came as standard on my dynamique s model (I believe)

Glad you like it Kieran :)

Much better, I really do like the looks of this car. Please don't ever ruin it by doing something stupid! If you're stuck for modding ideas, they do look good with the rear bump strips smoothed out ;)

That would be excellent mate and I could pick up some painting tips while I'm there as there is other things I would like to do eventually.

Cheers dude, really glad you like it!:eek: It'll be sat a little lower soon once I take the rear adjusters out and wind the front down a bit more:)

Thanks again Jesus, I will continue with my subtle theme of modding and if I do anything else they'll all be minor changes, i'm so happy with how it looks now, the satin black grille's have been a great success! I was considering smoothing the rear bump strips but i'd have to buy a new bumper when I do decide to sell up:/

Big thanks to Tom and his friend Kieran for spraying my RS Grill today. Was good to finally meet you. Will get a picture up tomorrow when it's day light!

Eventually washed all my polishing cloth's ready for a huge detailing session once the weather improves!

Any suggestions on wax's or machine polishers from experience? I currently just hand polish with an autoglym or Meguiars polish after a wash and wax..

Fortunately, I've stumbled across a set of these for sale, with rear seats and door cards, fingers crossed they'll be mine within a week or two!

Would love anyone's opinion as to whether I should get these!

Anyone who has them at the moment, please feel free to give my your view on comfort etc, would be greatly appreciated!

We had some beautiful weather in Nuneaton yesterday and my dad (the best man) is driving his best mate (the groom) to his wedding on saturday so I thought it'd rude if I didn't give the zed some time for a good wash and polish:)

Apologies for the awful quality pictures, seems my iPhone is useless in comparison to a decent camera!

Update: In the process of hopefully buying a full 197 interior, watch this space:)

Lambswool Mitt - Yes
Wheel brush - Possibly
MF Cloths - Got too many already ;)
Shampoo - I've got 5L of turtle wax currently:p
Trix - Tempting, haven't used before!
Bilberry - I clean my wheels soooo much so I think i'd take the paint off with this;)
Megs - I'm on my 3rd bottle, LOVE the stuff!
Clay - I'm considering megs clay + lube or dodo juice born slippy + clay?

Also, for a polish, i'm using Autoglym Ultra Deep Shine but HD Wax seems to be very good? As does all megs waxes/polishes?

Really really simple mate, it comes in two parts with a screw on the back, great simplistic mod! You should get a project thread up for your car

So jealous, i'd love 6 gears! what do you get on average to the gallon dude? I get around 35 with mainly town driving, which is good in my eyes:)

I actually don't have HID's, I have brighter Osram Nightbreaker Plus bulbs & SMD LED side lights, I am considering HID's after my MOT in a week's time though;)
