Re: My PH1 172
A little bit of an up date, so the new water pump is fitted along with new bolts and a new aux belt kit.
Ive replaced the leaking PAS pump along with an oil, filter, a set of spark plugs and the correct Renault coolant..
Bought a few more bits from from Adam, new front fog lights and a slam panel rubber seal.

Re: My PH1 172
Thanks mate, its getting there. I have ordered the bulkhead trim (black felt behind the engine) its on back order so should be with me in 10 days or so.
I will also get the inlets, alt brackets and the other alloy bits powder coated at some point (prob in the winter)

Re: My PH1 172
Fog lights fitted, so much better than the old ones.
Before.
After.
There was also a few bits around the car that i was not happy with.
The fuse box cover, yes its a small mark but it annoyed me.
So i bought a new one.
The boot trim.
So i bought a new one.
The air filter housing is a pain in the ass the remove and re-fit so over the years its been scratched to hell.
I bought a new one and ive also got a black silicone Forge hose to fit so it will make it 100 times better to remove in the future.
And the biggest thing was the engine bay bulk head fire wall/heat shield thing which looked a right mess and the black stuff kept on coming off.
I had to wait 10 days for it to come into the country and i knew it was not going to be a nice job to fit but it just had to be done.
So tonight i started to strip down the engine bay down to fit the new engine bay trim, lucky enough my AC needs a re-gas as it had to be disconnected.
It was a bit tight but i got there in the end, once i get my inlets powder coated later in the year the engine bay will look great.
All removed at last.
So much better.

Nice one pal. Looks great
nice to see it being refreshed.... I'm sure renault parts would think the same too!
See you went for a forge 90degree bend in the end. Any reason over samco?

Good effort with the little things you've refreshed/replaced makes a big difference

Re: My PH1 172
Thanks Mark, i did see the Samco ones but being a bit dumb i thought it was only available in blue and tbh i think they are both the same just a name change.
After buying the Forge one (which was about £4 cheaper) i saw that the Samco also come in different colours. Derr!!

Re: My PH1 172
OCD is a killer mate, the fire wall was £100 and a 10 day wait. You might be best buying the Nimbus.
Cheers for the comments.

Re: My PH1 172
Well after doing alot of work on the Clio i also bought a Cup spoiler, so it was off to Chris @ Autocrash for it to be painted.
Not the best pict as it was getting dark.
I then set about getting the car ready for CSS, i cleaned under the wheel arches.
Waxed wheels using AF Soul.
Also got a bit carried away and removed the AC pipe which i polished with the Megs metal polish.
I then gave the car a going over with AF Tripple with a black hex logic pad and my DA.
I then finished it off with AF Illusion wax, AF Revive for the plastic trims i also bought AF Tough coat and Gtechniq C2V3.
Ive only used the C2V3 on the bonnet.

Re: My PH1 172
Just seen this mate, car looks great, I am on the look out for a Phase 1, just hope I can find one as good. Don't worry about being 37 mate, I am 40 and probably look silly driving mine, but do I care NO, my mates who have driven my car fully understand the love for these little cars. Really wish I had of seen the car at Css.
