Also finished painting my calipers black could do with another coat but who cares better than rust i guess !

Also adjusted my damping on my coilovers not sure of there equal wel see when im on the road .

Seems that ive finished everything on the back end of the car thought id put the wheels back on this has made my day waited so long just to see a wheel back on the car lol

Gave the engine bay a quick wipe down will clean it propally when back on the ground .

Just waiting for my gearbox oil to turn up now bought 3L of this stuff
Genuine renault ftw !

Got to pinch a plug washer from work then that shall be that done .
Whilst doing this il do the engine oil same time .

Il be sorting out my rs tuner this week somtime also il be buying all the map available and the airbag module to turn my airbag light of due to the recaros .

Few pics of the interior so far not finished yet got some dash strips i need to order from Austin on here also got anew sony head unit to go in and alpine rear speakers to match the front .

Cheers mate i did the rs tuner for my mate the other week on his 182 mate goes well now noticeably diffrent so much smoother i thought ! How's your bg coming along bud? You keeping this one ?

 

[Kieran..]

Re: Clio 172 winter project

i never done it myself, bought it like it. so once you buy the tuner you then buy the map and then you can then sell on the tuner? and yeaa mate im keeping this one. want it just as epic as the iceberg, its just time and money

 

[rollerdan]

Clio 172 winter project

Ye mate you got it ! That iceberg was a minter ! Loved them rotas . Id like to do that lamix headlight thing too mate il see what it looks like on your bg first looked good on the iceberg you had . I maybe selling my rs tuner after i map mine mate you can have first refusal of you like?

 

[Kieran..]

Re: Clio 172 winter project

Yeaaa I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks with the lamin x on the bg. Okay mate sure I will defiantly be interested how much you looking for? And also how much does the map cost?

 

[rollerdan]

Clio 172 winter project

Map costs like 40-50 euros depending if you 98 Ron or pop and bangs . Il sell mine for probally 110 its the newest version

 

[Kieran..]

Re: Clio 172 winter project

Don't you also have to buy some licence or something also?

 

[rollerdan]

Clio 172 winter project

Yea a unlock license which is 49.00 euros i think .

 

[Kieran..]

Re: Clio 172 winter project

Ahh okay so say £110 for the tuner from you say then €49 for licence and then €40-50 on the map and that's it? So then when I come to sell the tuner if I get the same money it's only roughly £80 altogether for the map

Bleach. You need clinical freshness to get rid of its smell.

Re: my clio 172 winter project ( nearly finished )

Nice bit of work you've got done over the last couple of months Looks good. I do like the look of the white 2118s on the black

I thought they stopped making pe2's?

 

[rollerdan]

my clio 172 winter project ( nearly finished )

They stopped making them mate but they are still about all stock i suppose . When henk pulls his finger out il be mapping it 2moro with my rs tuner . But hes being fussy about my screen shot when i done nothing differently to anyone else lol i do like the white but im bored now all my cars have had white wheels :/ by march theyl be anthracite .

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Re: my clio 172 winter project ( nearly finished )
