Very small one but had some time last week to have a play with some finishing touches to the interior
Had to get shot of the silver dial surrounds now all my other inserts are carbon fibre & being as doing the dials in carbon would be fairly difficult i decided on matt black, very happy with the result, makes the dials a touch more aggresive & even more so one off as every Clio Sport i've been in bar the cups have had silver dial surround

Thanks for the comments guys, really happy with how it turned out, really wasnt a fan of the standard silver
With regards to the task p4ers, Less than 15 minutes to remove the dash, 5 minutes to take apart the dials & drill the dial surrounds off then 15 minutes prep/painting, couple of hours to dry then put it all back together, so basically less than an hours work when you take out the paint drying time

The dial surrounds look good in black.

Well the up-dates have been abit poor lately, mainly with starting everything with JMS-Tuning which has taken up alot of time & with selling my track car, was abit gutting to move it on & think about starting to get the PH2 to spec... Untill I bought the other half a little run-around for us to use as the social driver so to speak
2002 172 in black, Should do the job me thinks.. that did now cause a problem as mine no longer neaded to be practical so to speak.. so the first port of call was to finish sorting all the bits n bobs i had on the list
So first up, fit braided brakes lines, havent a picture of them on but i'm sure you all know whst they look like, here were the old ones :dead:
Next, re-spray though the inlet manifold ( again lol )
Metalic black VHT paint, looks ace in the sun
Happy with that i thought the engine bay was near complete but the final chapter for the bay was the sound deadning/fibre glass that runs the bulk head, mine was looking very poor as can be seen in the bay pics.. so that came out
While in the bay, finally removed the lump of metal from the upper engine mount, nice bit of free power-weight
Then the little bug that had haunted me during the track car build took over..
Yep, The plan was now to get it on a diet again, even more so with a little track day action occuring next month, So i wanted a clean stripped out rear with minimal weight, so all the seat belts etc were out & i took a trip to the local Car audio shop for some light weight amp box carpet, the whole role for my car was lighter than the current half boot mat so with it being light i avoided the mdf board route like previous and just streched & glued it to the deck, the result
Then a quick cheeky shop on ebay resulted in a pair of silver sparco hanress's & an original boot net to finish off the action, And this is how it stands ( sorry about poor pics of this, only had the phone handy )
Roll on track day!

Look under your driver & passenger seat, Should have to loops on a bracket doing nothing, remove them & open the hole from 8mm >> 10mm & bolt to the old ISO bar points, Job done

*** UP-DATE ***
Only pics though!
Couple of better ones from inside
And a few shots of my boot net fixing points, These hooks can be found under your driver/passenger side seats, all you will need to do is open them from an 8mm >> 10mm hole & you can bolt right through them into the old ISO fix points
And Just plain standard on the back

James, your car is looking awesome again, love it! Some really nice updates, engine is looking sweet too!
As I was discussing with Tom recently, I'll be needing to arrange a trip over to JMS-Tuning soon. Need a few things doing, and have a couple of additions too. Hopefully, I'll be tracking it this summer too, so may need some of your top advice as well

With the track day only around the corner i have been working down the list of small to-do's so this weekend while working around other cars in the workshop was my gearbox oil
The Renault main dealer near me claims gearbox oil should last the life of the car.. I've drained Clio sport gearbox's with less than 40k on the clock & the oil looks far from healthy to say the least, Not ideal given the gearbox's are far from the most solid part of the 172/182's even more so if your hitting track!

Love the detail you've put into this car, even things like chaning the battery to save a bit of weight I think is spot on.
It's exactly why i was a CS just so I can get stupidly geeky with all the weight saving and finer details.
ONe question though, what you've done with the rear to tidy it up... I take it with it just being carpet there's no strength to it?
