Renault Clio 172 PH2
Like the 182 Kieran 
Update
Been busy today, I changed over the suspension so running the Apex springs on the bg and they're really not as bad as everyone rates them. Pictures tomorrow after a clean.
I also managed to change over front drivers seat from the titianum as that one was mint.
I recieved my engine cover and got straight on to it today and sprayed it in BMW sparkling graphite, this colour never fails to amaze me
I also sprayed up my diamonds on my wheels too

Nice. Are you going for an oem+ look then?
How do the apex compare with vmaxx in your opinion with regards to ride confort?

Well I recently took off the yozza as it got a bit annoying and I'm happy with peaceful driving at the moment.
Looks like the standard 182 wheels are going gloss black with yellow diamonds on the wheels and yellow calipers. Also the cambelt, auxiliary belt and dephaser is being done soon and will be a relief once that's done.

haha.Update finally
well due to being a dad in a few weeks its very slow moving progress unlike all my other projects.
But i have decided im going to have a black and red theme going on. I have thought on gloss black interior parts along with a few other bits but dont want to giveaway it too much untill alot of it is done, but im pretty sure it will look epic
I have recently fallen out of love with the car due to the cambelt and dephaser needing to be done but cant until ive saved up the money
hopefully a few pictures of some bits i have done tomorrow

first up today was painting the calipers, decided with my red and black theme going on they had to go red
then i pinched banderson's and dr jekyll's idea of red tape
then i thought id try my own little go at something and personally i really like it, its not perfect but i think after the winter i shall spray it in
one side..
there will be more red bits to come to tie it all in

Wheels don't look very silver in the 2nd from last pic 
Black and red is a great working colour combo. The red strip along the spoiler is a little mod that makes a difference
What else will be red?

Well yesterday i messaged G172 to place an order on a full set of brakes and by 9.30 this morning i received them, his service cannot be beaten nether his prices.
As you can see i went for all Brembo, HC brembo on the fronts and oem spec brembo pads and same for the rear.
also i sprayed my dash strips black and used red stickers from ady, a few more bits will be going black interior wise but not yet done them

Fitted my front brake discs and pads a couple of days ago, just waiting on rear spacers from ed. on here before fitting the rear discs and pads.
Before
after, much better. the ones previous the garage i had bought from grinded the lip off the front and rear discs
got this to do tomorrow also, replacing the brake fluid and will be using lamin x on my headlights like i did on my Iceberg.
also on the side i have been experimenting with my cup splitter, im not saying what yet but it involves this..

Update
Well i finally got round to fitting my new gear gatior, looks nice and goes with the other few red interior bits
Also i bought a couple of bulbs
This morning i finally got round to fitting my axel spacers made by Ed on the forum. Went for 15mm ones and then realised with the standard tyres i need a bit of camber so temporally fix i put in a washer to create camber, but still wasnt enough so had to roll the arches a little bit.
I was also meant to be changing the rear discs to brembo ones but when removing the abs ring from the old ones it broke so i ended up having to put back the old ones untill the new abs rings come. I drove to Lakeside this afternoon and the side thats broken didnt sound too good so hoping the rings turn up soon.
Before
Spacer fitted
After
Also i bought some 20mm front spacers as i couldnt do the rear and leave the front
Before
After
The car is looking ROUGH with no splitter and being so dirty but its not worth cleaning it!

Are the spacers hard to fit? I was looking at 10mm ones for the rear and probs 15mm hubcentrics for the front.
Car does need a clean but like you said its not worth it with the way the weather has been. Mines the same.
Lets hope those abs rings turn up pronto!

Well the car has decided to be a b**h and the gearbox has decided to start grinding etc so now a new box is on the way along with a new valeo clutch kit and gearbox oil.
On the other hand I recieved the abs rings meaning I finally got round to fitting my new rear discs, loads better.
The splitter is done almost, it will be being fitted again at the weekend, can't wait to see how it looks

Recieved my gearbox, oil and clutch over the last few days, cant wait to get it all on and the car running again!
Also i started on something that i have been meaning to do for a while, the rear insert, diamond and exhaust surrounds are now all sea grey, letting them harden last couple days then will be fitting them
also done front diamond and the bullets are going sea grey and finally the splitter will be going back on. the car is currently looking so rough, once its all fitted will be a damn good detail
then lastly its the front grills and fogs that are going gloss black again but will take bumper off this time
