good progressliking the gordini stripes. Did you buy the alacantra and wrap the a pillar yourself?
Nice one, I removed the stripes today as I was growing tired of them
I bought the A-pillars already wrapped in alcantara, I love them though, so much nicer than the grey plastic

True
, i fancy having a go at wrapping mine myself. Is it much of a pain removing them? do you you have to take the sensor off?True
If you have alarm sensors yeah they need to be removed, what style do you have? Mine just popped out and then I unscrewed the holder. Pretty easy to remove, bit of force was needed with mine and the clips are sharp so be careful if you shove your fingers behind to try and get them off!
The car got a mini service yesterday, new spark plugs, oil and a new battery as mine was playing up and it seemed to be on its way out really.
Also changed the carbon box which was tapping away, much better now!
Also managed to get the acoustic valve off too, now running the standard box with just one air feed and it sounds a lot better. Doubt it makes any difderance to the engine power though. Can't wait for the summer already...

Sure you were working on the car?? 
Recently got back from a nice long weekend up in Edinburgh with the Mrs, fantastic city, so much to see and do there!
The car was fantastic, 450 miles and did 39mpg over the whole journey, was good fun through the mountain roads into Edinburgh too
On the way home I got the standard Forth Rail Bridge shot

Today I went down to Oulton Park for the open trackday, took a few photos, but before leaving took the opportunity to stick the car on the scales and see what it weighs at the moment.

Exactly 1100kg which is exactly what I expected tbh!

No matter which angle you look at a Renaultsport Clio from, it still look's sexy :hail:
Slow red one
If I ever get another clio, it'll be an RB!!
Aye, the road bridge is impressive, but when the rail bridge is next to it, doesn't really compare!
Yeah I don't think it'll be getting 2118's but it may see coilovers in the summer...
Got some organising done last night of all my cleaning bits and pieces, I'm expecting a sizeable delivery today so I wanted everything to have it's place really! Got some boxes from Ikea and organised everything into to the stages of the clean, so washing/cleanising/claying is in one box, ect ect...
Apologies for the phone quality!

Also took delivery of this last night:

Packaging is a little botched, but I don't care all that much! Basically a 3 x 4.5m fully waterproof gazebo in black Looking forward to setting it up this weekend, have a look at it all properly!
Sick of waiting for decent weather on a weekend when I'm not doing anything, months go by where I can't get the car clean, so this should allow me to do 90% of what I would normally do, whenever I want to do it! In the summer it should also come in handy in providing some shade for the car, hot panels and wax is something I want to leave in the past!!

I've already got some bigguns, got smaller ones for getting in wheelarches and the engine bay
Yeah I'm not sure how I've lasted this long without brushes! Haha

Nice selection, need to get more stuff myself. Think I'm going to need to invest in a DA very shortly.
I've toyed with the idea, but I'm not sure how much use I'll get from it, I'll only use it for glazes?! Can't think how else it'll be any use to me?!
Emailed the guys at Elite car care, including the above photo, they said the tin is fine and I should just lay it down instead of standing it up.
Pretty poor being completely honest, because there is no way the tin was damaged during transit. The packaging was completely fine. We have some unused 5L chemical tins at work, so I've got one of those, I might try to reshape the tin and if it splits I'll transfer the Tardis into that.

Mine is a little bent but it never bothered me. It would annoy me if it was that bad and that was their response. C-units.
