Clio v6

A couple of small jobs done today.

Aerial base gasket - a very common issue on the vee unfortunately. Managed to get one from Steve from Rsports following a custom built group buy a few years ago (you can't get them anymore) but never got around to doing but only took 30 mins.

Use the same gaskets on the 182 satnav bases too, I got hold of 5 a few months back.

Just been on a 'like' frenzy there mate, apologies! lol!

As a side note, that cover looks fantastic quality, worth every penny ?

No need to apologise Steve ;) yes the cover is fantastic - it has a fleecy lining but I still make sure the car is spotless before it on but haven't had any issues at all with it as you do read some horror stories associated with car covers.

Really I didn't know that - I wonder if it is the same part number as I was told you can't get them anymore. Are you selling the other 4, lol. Have you got the part number and how much were they mate?

They're the same part number 100%. I sold the other 4, had them up on the forum in the classifieds at £20 posted each.
What did you pay?

That answered my question as to what the inner material is - that's the thing, people say about them scratching, messing up the paint etc, but if you use a cheap 'universal' 20 quid cover off eBay or put it on a filthy and/or soaking wet car, what do you expect!!

Thanks :)
Sadly not for a few years, I was looking forward the Origine RS one as I've not been to it, but I found out it's skipping this year :(

Would have been awesome to see your phase 1 Illiad - only 8 in this country isn't it?
And it's a real shame that's there no ORS this year as it has always been a great show.

Exactly Steve - I would rather just leave the car outside in the elements but some just don't understand :(
 
Had a great day at Cliosport Festival - I have not been before but was great.
Also was more than pleased to be asked to park the Vee outside the main tent :)

I will get along to a meet with it mate, yep only 8 in the UK, but less now (I know about all of them) a couple are Cat D too :( mine's not.
 
Fricking love this v6! Spent forever drooling over it last weekend - there isn’t one thing I’d change about it, except for the name on the v5 ?

(P.s. it was me who asked you to park outside the main marquee)

Hello Owen :) and thanks for the kind words - it's kind of strange that I take me owning this car for granted and then when I take it anywhere it gets a lot of attention (good attention I hope, lol).

I was over the moon when you asked me to park it there - thanks buddy, you made my day.

Expensive day then.... ?

Actually Micks prices aren't to bad at all compared to others and then consider how good he is - it was a no brainer.
Total price was £538 :)

Cheers buddy! I hope you and the family are well.

Yes all good Andy, hope you're well and looks like you all had a blast in Wales - sorry couldn't make it this year as I was working.

Glad to hear you're all well. :)
Yes, the Weekender was great despite the poor weather and 'interesting' traffic conditions (especially on the first day!) You were mentioned and missed in equal measure so sort it out for next year, please... hahahaha!

I respect that, I couldn't handle that rattling around either lol

Thanks mate - it has always bugged me where to store it and then I randomly came across a picture of one, which I never knew you could get and thought fantastic thats what I need and nice an oem :)
 
Surely that should have been standard fit? I use to use the in-laws mk3 and they had the remote in the house. Took ages to figure out how to disable the speed camera warning. I was ready to rip the bloody tomtom out completely ?
 
Wait a minute, did you advertise the Storm? I didn't see it anywhere but someone's got a great car there, I'd have loved it.
