Yeah it was the coilovers what ever reason it sank so much and took forever to come back up lol

 

[cliosport-carl]

Right so did some digging and found this

However this wasn't the cause of my abs light it was a duff sensor on the front so after a new sensor finally sorted

Then over the past week managed to get these just waiting to receive them

And now just purchased these

So the little Clio is getting a good going over when all the parts come

 

[cliosport-carl]

Right asp had a test fit with the washer blanks today

Then got a nice surprise when was told I can go and collect these

So just need to paint the washer jets the fit the rsrs

 

[cliosport-carl]

Well they say things come in threes well these turned up today

 

[dann2707]

Nice one mate, decent stuff!

 

[cliosport-carl]

Nice one mate, decent stuff!

yeah more parts will be added as the blue one goes

I think pms shifter headlights and new seats then I think it will be done

 

[cliosport-carl]

Well over the weekend fitted my rear coilovers and I am now back in the beast and thus stats the progress of stripping my 182

 

[cliosport-carl]

Right fitted the coilovers and love them well tbf haven't had a good try with them yet however they feel good and over the past few weeks been doing little bits like

Fitting the tyres haven't done all yet but getting there also painted my grille black again it looks glossy on the pics but it's mat

Also did the washer blanks

And got a list of bits I need to do over the next few weeks

Ah lists lol a couple I will do over the next few days my rear brake seems to be playing up so need to look into that and once the engine is out of the 182 I can get my aircon kit off it and put it on the 172

 

[cliosport-carl]

also am looking at ordering a half cage with harness bars

 

[cliosport-carl]

Right so have had to put a few bits on hold but have put my grille and badge back in and on

And gave it a good clean today

 

[dann2707]

I think everyone has a little note somewhere with the niggles they're got to sort out. I definitely do! Car looks nice

 

[cliosport-carl]

Right so over the weekend the car decided it didn't want to go backwards any more so having to take the box out again 3rd time lucky... Whalts its apart I'm fitting my ac delete and fitted the cup blanks

And this morning thought I'd get a flik of what I've done

And so far

Tomorrow I want to

And if I have time remove the water and rads so I can remove ac rad

 

[cliosport-carl]

Oh and because the bumper is off thought I'd finish the front off and I've orderd a skoda splitter

 

[cliosport-carl]

Well so all of this happend

 

[JoeMarano]

I have the same splitter but didnt bother fitting it as there are some screws under the bumper already? So I assumed it wouldnt fit on tight?

 

[dann2707]

You should give that trick or trick box to haloweeners this October hahaha

I don't really have that issue I have no wheel arch liners :tonguewink:

I don't think the would appreciate a bucket full of bolts lol

 

[cliosport-carl]

right well after the winds last night I have decided to use my rs tuner properly and have brought the map for it so over the weekend I will see what happens with this

 

[cliosport-carl]

Omg anybody thinking to get the rs tuner map done do it. Its awesome and a very nice difference

Then cleaned it as normal

And had to raise it for the MOT

Good old cinema parking

Then dropped it again however didn't do the rears enough

So did that yesterday but fitted some leary brake ducts

 

[JoeMarano]

Nice ducts! Where did you get them?

 

[cliosport-carl]

Nice ducts! Where did you get them?

I've cut out my fog surrounds and the bits are off eBay there 100mm bass ports

 

[cliosport-carl]

Some more pics from a car park and after a clean as I now have my normal wheels on with my new federal 595s on

 

[cliosport-carl]

So over the weekend went to one of the meets in Stratford here's a pic

And there was a tasty ph1 there and I got cage envy so have kinda ordered one will be here next week hopefully

 

[Lundysx]

Lovely I like what you've done with it .. Makes me want to change my wheels even more haha

 

[dann2707]

Car looks gorgeous but you all park like t***s!

 

[cliosport-carl]

Cannot be more happy with this guy I ordered my cage late Tuesday and look what's here

 

[JoeMarano]

As said already. Looks awesome.

What you doing regards to paint? Im thinking maybe hammerite hammered black if I get one as its spray and forget and sort of self primers and lacquers itself.

I can imagine doing it with cans is completely possible but would be a royal ball ache doing the lacquer and getting a pro is just a waste of money imo.

 

[Clio172Powell]

very nice!

I'm going to be canning it bright blue and it will be over the next few days so watch this space

 

[cliosport-carl]

Also went and picked something else up as I figured o need to take the seats out to fit the cage so when there out ikl fit these

 

[JoeMarano]

Let us know how you get on with fitting them and whether you use the sliders or not and how supportive they are Im debating on them, sparco sprints or bimarco futuras

[cliosport-carl]

Sorry what seats as I have buckets in atm and however I am breaking a 182 and the seats are good in this

 

[Craig1974]

I just need the front seats, both mine are torn. But are 182 seats the same colour ?

 

[cliosport-carl]

they are however the holes in the seats are white not black if that makes sense

 

[Craig1974]

There's no panic yet anyway. I'm trying to sort a place out for storage at the minute. But pics would be nice
