Things to do:
- Pics of induction kit. exhaust
- Spray Rocket Cover and Respray Engine Upper Inlet
- Powder coat 182 alloys because of chips
- Decals for interior trims
 
  CLIO 182
Are the interior trim strips easy to get off? Do they just pull off? Thought one of the trims was an airbag trim? Or is that just labelled airbag lol? Didn't want to yank at it just incase!!

Pics would be great! ;)
