Lovely beading, those plastics have come up brilliantly and all around a clean looking car. I'm impressed
The Messiah has spoken..... Possibly the most meaningful comment yet ?
Thanks Mate :rasp:

Awesome mate
Clio 172 Swapped
Congratulations, thin tract and in minute detail
Cheers Mate,
Yeah it makes a hell of a difference, cant hear any road noise at all now.
You can go further and go behind the plastics in the boot to reduce the exhaust noise.
Are you experiencing exhaust drone or wheel/road noise drone?
Will do
It's more road noise until about 70. Then it's the exhaust. Im defiantly going to do it then, start with behind then panels and go further if I have to.
Yeah this will block it out completely mate
Make sure you get SpaceBlanket and seal off the exposed fiberglass with duct tape. Also just to let you know, you won't be able to do the front panels as there isn't any room to do so
Does this suggest that the 182 is staying?
And the extra little one
Good decision mate, definitely worth it for the smiles you get out of owning and driving one No worries buddy
On to tackling the the rear plate ! Ohh it was so messy underneath, Yuck !!!!
Bearing in mind the rest of the car is pretty much spotless, this is what lurked beneath the rear plate after wrestling with the bloody thing. I thought it was going to snap!!
The hairdryer was used to lift the double sided sticky tape, I then rubbed that off with my thumb upon which i got a blister
I went over the sticky residue with Showroom Shine, this lifted off the remaining gunk and dirt!
To finish it off I did a twice over with the Ultimate Compound and sealed it with Showroom Shine :approve:
Some before's and after's
Before:
During:
After:
I decided to go down the route of applying the 'Velcro heavy duty giant stick on coins'
My god they are strong, I was literally hung off of it for 6 seconds or so before it came off
During:
After:
Well I didn't get an after... Sorry guys
(I'm sure you won't need much of an imagination to figure out what it looks like with its number plate back on)

sort of, unfortunately the back left wheel ruins it for the rest, its scuffed Yeah why not, I would if i was struggling
although you must look at things and think that its not as good as it could be? Or is that just me
Clio 182
I think that for every aspect of my car, and then think, i should really get round to that...
mind you since I started the blog, nobody has seen me in months :SWhich isn't me at all... I should really see someone about this
Clio 182
Which isn't me at all... I should really see someone about this
I think you need to get out more :rasp:
Me too
Its winter though, nobody wants to do much because of the weather, so im gunna blame it on that Just read through the whole thread, some really good ideas and attention to detail there.
I even ordered some of them led bulbs for the interior lights that you used lol. Car looks good and has given me some good ideas for mine.
Teaching the old dogs new tricks ayy
Cheers Joe, Might I add or rather ask is that yourself in the 'Scaring sheep' video Haha you could say that.
Yeah that was me. Amazing how many people ask that recently. Lol.
Your seatbelts are so clean! Mine are filthy. Really need to do something about them. I've got one of them 3m headlight kits coming soon too
Haha its that laugh, it gets me every time, Brilliant
I believe that was the first video on an aftermarket exhaust for a CS that I watched Yeah I know, mine were in such a state but never again am I doing that!!! Hours I spend scrubbing those bloody things, my hands were numb, but all well protected now and definitely worth it in the end
Genuine Renault Sport floor mats came today
Sprayed with the Supagard interior protector and put them in ......
Hi mate, have you got a link for these mats please? Also what did you use to get the 2.0 16v chrome inserts on the bump strips so clean?
Thanks

Hi Tom,
The link for the matts I have linked below for you mate
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320791253559?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
As for the 2.0 16v inserts, I used Showroom shine and scrubbed really hard with a toothbrush, I then buffed it with a microfibre cloth
I would really recommend either that or a cutting compound of some sort.
Meguiars Ultimate Compound should do the trick!! That should take the colour stain out and bring through the original colour and shine for you mate
LY R26 #288
Lol that was on our little trip to the lake district. Mark (Dr Jekyll) decided we should record the car popping and I was completely unaware of the sheep untill he was pointing at them hence the surprised laugh.
Might wait for the weather to warm up a bit before I do the belts lol.

I was going to say it looked like it was up near the North Yorkshire Dales
As you do.... honestly it gets me every time!!Lol, crack the heaters out and get it done in the garage :rasp:

Excellent thanks mate
Good stuff, I like them to
Thanks mate!Thanks Tom,
Currently on the to do list I have the following engine mods:
• RS Tuner (Both Maps)
• Scorpion RS192 Exhaust
• Scorpion Decat Pipe
• Ktec Induction Kit
• Powerflex Exhaust Mounts
Bodywork/Bodywork Products to do list:
• Meguiars DA Polisher
• Front Bumper Respray
• Bonnet Respray
At the moment they are the definite's but I would imagine I will find simple things to improve, I just keep stumbling upon those
Next year It may get serious and I may opt for a turbo conversion

Really enjoyed reading this thread so far. The attention to detail is great

Me too
I know what ya mean, its the same reason my big roll of Spaceblanket is still in the boot
I would recommend the Kestrel DAS-6 (Pro if possible) over the Meguiars G220. Less vibration, cheaper and thought of the be equivalent or better than pretty much all other DA's.Good stuff, I like them to

Im glad you think its alright, Iv'e read back on posts a few times now and can see tons of grammar issues :SFab!! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I have been reading a lot of reviews and your pretty spot on with that
I think I got carried away with being a Meguiar Fan Boy
Love their products therefore made the assumption that the DA polisher would be the best.....That was foolish of me to do so!!!Like my boss says "what do assumptions make? .... an ass out of you and me"
They have clearly brainwashed me with their products :rasp:Again thanks for setting me straight Chris

Dont worry about the grammar mate, it's the pics that do the talking, and the pics look good
