Swapped the strips back the other day and sold the carbon ones to @Rickwood

Think it matches the wheel a little better.
Today...what a mission. Attempted to get a babyseat in the back of the cup. Only option with it is to sit it in the middle using both belts.....think we may be buying a new one. New seat that is not child!
This took an hour and a half.....Who the f**k designs these things? It's like you need a degree from hogwarts to fit the fecking things...WHAT IS THIS WIZARDRY! :triumph::triumph:

Whichever has fuel
Fixed a host of niggles.
My car; had one wheel balanced after I jet washed off about 30g of balance weights and vibrates like mad. Changed the red and yellow wires over on the radio so it actually holds stations now.
Wife's car; fitted a new gearstick gaitor as the old one was fubar'd, greased the clutch pedal to stop it squeaking and tried to remove the roof bars but the key hole is rusted shut. Lots if ub40 for a good week and I'll try again next weekend.

Just buy an isofix one. Takes 10 seconds to fit and is infinitely safer.Swapped the strips back the other day and sold the carbon ones to @Rickwood

That's the plan chap....not happy to take the little one in this, seat flops about like a pensioners ball sack in a winter storm.

Fitted braided brake hoses, full system flush of brake fluid and then fitted my canards.
Tomorrow is give the inside roof a second coat of paint and paint the seat rails black so I can then refit the seats and seat belts. Oh and sort out flocking the panels and trim that is being left in the car.

After tidying the garage I started mocking up door cards.

Are you making them out of sheet plastic? As I need to do mine but not sure if I want to buy ready made ones or make my ownAfter tidying the garage I started mocking up door cards.

I was looking at foamex or similar.
The pic above is using cardboard though to to get the size and shape right.

Yeah looks like a good way of measuring up. I have no issues with the cutting and mounting, but my ability to mark them up correctly is where I may struggle!

So the ph1 has probably been feeling left out this month....
New wheels, ive been looking for so long for a set of these FR+ alloys and armrest fitted for my long commute
Very pleased to say the least (sorry no clio content)

I did the same a few months back. Easier than flocking and cheaper.
1.2 16v Dynamique
Been a while since I posted, but a few things have been done (more wear and tear I guess)
New Front tyres as tread was wearing thin
New Battery (old connectors literally crumbled and I was having issues with teh battery anyway)
Also gave her a wash as she was in need of one!

Nothing revolutionary, just a quick wash to remove all sorts of crud and shite that permeate the roads around work.

Resprayed Rear diamond - Inca Yellow, to match the front
Made a mess last time I did it so an improvement for sure

I hope it lasts for you mate. I did something similar on my first car and when it got hot the glue melted and it all bubbled and rippled. Maybe I used the wrong stuff though?

172 Cup
4 new PS3s on this morning, sitting in McD waiting on my 2pm appointment for geometry. Love days well spent!
Rather excited as already a huge improvement in the car since fitting Eibach sportlines to new Cup dampers and new top mount bearings last week.
I was a little late joining the Clio party but I'm having serious fun now I'm here!

Which one are they going on ? (you have two Vee's right ?)
They are now on the Illiad. (Best colour
)The tyre fitter laughed and said at least I'll have good grip going to the petrol station as apparently an F rating isn't good for economy! All the reviews are good for them tho and they are the replacement for the original tyre.
Iv not got a full set on either car. The last owner put brand new pilot sports on the back before I collected the car and I can't warrant changing them yet. The other one has toyo's on the front and super sports on the rear!
With the mileage I do and the way I drive Iv probably got a few years before they all match.
Cool!
I roll with PS3's all round, courtesy of Costco's. When they wear out (ages & ages yet as they only went on last year) I'll look at these ones.
PH2 RS172
removed aircon and fitted delete kit, replaced the leaky rad for a shiny new one, fitted a decat, fixed the rear exhaust hanger and gave it a bloody good clean. sweaty day but worth it
Ph1 172 & Leon Cupra
After thinking of selling it...
Drove it for the first time in about 3 weeks...
Thought better of it because it makes me feel like a hooligan lol
