My Clio's been a dirty boy...

[Ads_172]

Not quite ready for cleaning yet! Reckon a couple of back-lane drives over this week will finish it off nicely!

I also now have a better idea what my wheels would look like if finished in anthracite...

EDIT: It actually doesn't look that dirty in the pics...

 

[Aust1n]

Nicely done.. Love the zorst. One sits out further than the other though?.. or is that just me?..

 

[Ads_172]

Yeah it's not quite straight due to the way it has to cut off to the left to meet up with the standard exhaust and avoid the spare wheel. It's not noticable when just walking around the car though, only really when you start taking photos like the angles above...

 

[Clart]

Good effort. Is something bent above the EBO at the front?

 

[Leeshez]

Dirty boy

Have only just noticed that myself to be honest! I'll inspect later but I imagine that the plastic's just a little warped for some reason....

I thought it may be something to do with the spare wheel..

Tidy either way.

Mines past that stage now thanks to a run up to Sheffield at the weekend, gonna keep it going I think for breakie run...dirty ****.

 

[Djw John]

Mine is similar to that as well, prob a it dirtier now! Although I gave in and cleaned my headlights tonight so I can actually see!

 

[M1TCH]

I'm nearly in that state, how do you get all that crap off those alloys, they take me ages to clean!

When I come to clean it, I'll hose off all the loose dirt, then wash them with a sponge as usual. Then I've got a wheel cleaning brush thing that gets in all the gaps. I'll use this across the whole wheel, rinse off, and repeat a couple times until shiny again.

If there's muck that isn't shifting then you may need to get a stronger acidic cleaner, obviously using diluted or sparingly.

Although I too gave in a bit and washed the lights, rear window and numberplate cos it's getting out of hand.

i dont have a digi cam the now lol

 

[Ads_172]

lol yeah, yeah, whatever...

Anyone can say "well, you can't even see my plate...." but where's the proof!?!

And the warping plastic is an aerodynamical issue, it increases flow past the radiator, therefore improving heating or cooling or something, so it, um, does stuff... better.

 

[Josh27]

That's one filthy biatch!

 

[Tom_16v]
