My wee pearl black 1.2



Quick Update:

Done away with my carbon wrapped vinyl for some sprayed dash strips!

Colour is 'Rover Stone Grey' but looks a lot like Anthricate.

I bought these off Markkkk95 on this here!

Not too keen on the sprayed strips, mainly because the airbag decal is about 9000 times larger than the original one...

If i grow to hate it, some heat can remove it no bother. Advantage of a sticker!
That's true, the colour is nice. Just the sticker ruins it for me tbh, if you talk to Ady on here he'll sort you out with an airbag sticker the right size and font for like £2.50

Cheers! I may look into that.
On his thread it shows them without the stickers, for anyone who's interested. :)
 
So its been a while since i updated anything, havent really got anything added to the car.
Done recently
- Respyared my diamonds in 'Rover stone grey' Basically anthracite.
- Got a smaller 'air bag' decal for the dash strip.
- Alcantara covered handbrake cover and A pillars.
- replaced splitter with skoda splitter

Want
- Cup spoiler
- 172 rear bumper
- colour coded front bumper inserts
- lowered 40mm
- Anthracite bullets
- flocked upper and lower dash

So yesterday my car wouldnt start either so i spent today trying to fixx that and i did! Loose connection on the starter motor, got it taped up and have a stronger connection.


So here are a few pics of the splitter being done.

Bumper off, after a fight!

  Phase 1
Love the alcantara pillars and handbrake Cover! Little things like that really set the inside off. Car looks really nice mate
 
So today i gave my car a clean, nothing fancy at all.
Thread: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?686519-Just-after-a-quick-clean-PIC-HEAVY

So i went to the scrappy and picked up a new fuse box lid, cover for headlight (rubber bit), air filter housing, air filter hose and drivers rubber door seal. All this for just £5, BARGAIN :D

So today i changed the door seal.
Before:

Plans for the above pieces, spray all the plastics gloss black, IMO it will make the 'bay' look nicer and cleaner.

Pics will be uploaded when finished and in place :D

Thanks for looking, comments welcome.
 
Update:
So its been a while since ive really done anything, been looking into getting a 172 kit. Purchased a 172 rear bumper and should be here within the week, i hope.

Ive flushed my coolant and replaced with type D from renault and got a new coolant expansion tank.
Today i had the car jacked up, painted the 2 front calipers black and the 2 rear drums black.
Been spraying the parts (see previous post) and will soon be ready for fitting.

So now just a couple of photos to show a bit of progress.

Coolant:

Thanks for looking! All feedback is welcome.
Will have update when the new bumper arrives!
 
@ Alex5-clio, i just used a tin of hammerite. Use an old brush to paint it on, job done. Just be careful not to paint your brake discs though. Id say its easier than a spray.

Wee update:
So yesterday on the 20th I went out to Ali-ham's house and picked up a 172 kit (Front bumper, wings & skirts) All in unreal condition too. Had a bit of trouble finding the house and leaving the house :eek:
Today on the 21st I received my rear 172 bumper from NickMelson, also in unreal condition. Parcel Force made it a bit of a carfuffle to get, not delivering it, left them a not saying to leave it at post office, they leave a note saying too big for post office (In my eyes they just said they couldnt be bothered) so my brother had to pick it up from their depot in belfast.
Well i got them all washed, rear insert out, fog surrounds out and lower grill out and ready for spraying black! Take away the grey-ish it has to them.

Also got my sprayed airfilter housing in, sprayed fuse box cover in and the sprayed cold air feed in.

So i hope to get all the parts put on the car by sunday. Ill have plenty of pictures put up then.
 
  Clio & Mini
I have sprayed and brushed callipers if you want a really good quality job as mad as it sounds brushing them is better with etech stuff from demon tweeks for a quick job spray them!! ;)
 
So today i set about changing my rear bumper!
172 bumper, same colour and all, no cut outs either - perfect!

So heres the pictures.
Taking the tyres off for the old to be removed, just found this easier with them off.
P1000567_zps372cf904.jpg


New one on! Such an improvement imo!!!
P1000570_zps25931888.jpg


Still have the front bumper, wings and skirts to fit, didnt do it today because i need the front arch liners - yes im fussy!

Well, heres the pictures of the engine bay and the wee bits that i done.

Then gave the car a clean as it just wasnt right, whole car dirty, bumper clean.
Excuse the bonnet, had vice grips inside holding a nut on.

Any comments are welcome.
Thanks for looking!! :)
 
So today I got my sticker in the post (Renault F1 Team) and put it on my battery cover that me and Markkkk95 made. Cost around £10 to make in total.
Overall pretty pleased with it.

Excuse the rust in my engine bay :( 10 years is not good for rust.

Thanks for looking!! :)
 
Cheers mate! Still plenty more things i want to do to this! :) Yes its a 1.2 but its my first car and will be my car until im about 23ish, so why not have fun eh? :p

Was exactly my thoughts... Wish I thought otherwise now, as I've spent so much money and I'm now moving to new zealand and will have to sell it -.-

Will make a massive loss on it :(

Also, you have come leaps and bounds since the 17" alloys days ;)

No wayyy! :( I plan to stay here for ever :D Why the move? :dapprove:
Would you make more money if you were to strip it? :S
What was i thinking back then? :( Glad i got on here and got it sorted ;)
 
My dad is out there already, he got made redundant here and was no jobs for him here.

So we're all fed up of this country and f*cking off to new zealand lol.

Probably, but that's so much effort lol, I'll see what happens!

Haha yeah it's looking much nicer now :p

Never good :( Northern Ireland is the place to be mate ;) Hahaha, if you can live with all the constant fighting.

Try work it out, if you strip it how much will you get
OR
if you sell it, how much will you get?

Might be a lot of adding but awk well.

Appreciate it :D Cant wait till i get the sport front bumper, wings and skirts on :D

So today i got a couple of wee goodies in the post :D

So, here we are... Old style jet:

New style Jet (on the car)
P1000588_zpsc10fabcc.jpg


Personally i think they are a massive improvement for just £5, honestly. Its so easy to change too, pull the pipe off, push the jet out, push new one in, connect the pipe and thats it!!!


Now the bulbs, I got these fog lights with the 172 front bumper i bought, to be fitted on saturday, so found a good opportunity to get some new bulbs :)
P1000591_zpsd72c5461.jpg


So thats it for now, thanks for looking!! :)
