What have you done to your car today ???

[DannyR]

TIL. Using one of these things on the seats of the caddy. We had ours for a few quid in a cheapy shop.
De-Fluff Fuzzing Lint Remover Gun https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0038RXSIS/?tag=cliospnet01-21
In time I'll get some gti seats or something, but for now a clean and tidy is good. Their designed for clothing etc really. The results are amazing:

Handy for some people to know if they have similar issues with their seats. I use mine on my beanie hats too.

I bought one of these a few months back. Best thing ever for Clio Alcantara!

Few pre MOT jobs

Garage needs a proper sort out in the summer

 

[DanSej6]

Wasn't today, but yesterday I did a quick oil and filter change, was well overdue judging by the state of the oil that came out of it. Looked to be a new filter though that came off it. Fitted a new Exide battery and Bosch wipers all round. Found out it needs some tie rods though while it was on the ramp, boo!

Drove it home today after leaving a deposit yesterday :smiley:

Are non Clio's allowed in this thread? First clean of the year! Only the second since I've had it, looking alright I think. Proper mods start in April :smile:

How do they get so bad???

I'm changing my wheel this weekend for an omp but my wheel is still near mint apart from a bit of melting where the sun has had it on the top.

Must be all that nail polish remover you use after the alter ego weekenders.

Currently fighting with the injector rail to get it back in. Hands have gone numb from the cold. Didn't realise how much of a tight fit small O-rings can make!
Hopefully after this it will be a 4 cylinder again.

If I can give you any advice, get some top mount covers for these. I'll show you mine and you'll get straight on eBay

Ok, cheers... share away!

 

[dann2707]

Ok, cheers... share away!

Sorry for the confusion. I meant I never fitted covers to mine, so if I was to show you how bad they look, you'd get some!

Yeah, that's what I thought you meant! Anyway, I'll take your word for it and get on it. Thanks :smile:

No worries dude, just looking out for a fellow arctic bluer

Putting the stealth I purchased from @Scrooge on, he has a unit where terminator salvation was filmed.

Glad to see parts of my old car living on. The centre section was bought separately for £165 direct from ktec about a year ago. Originally I bought the system second hand for about £200 iirc with the unsilenced centre.

Top tip to keep the exhaust hidden is to twist the backbox so if you're stood behind the car the right hand side of the box is higher than the left and then tighten the clamp to the centre section up

 

[Ills]

Fitted a powerflexed dogbone mount, highly recommended! Also chopped a bit more off the gear linkage under the car to bring the gearstick a bit further back.
Now feel shite,I'm dying of a cold and it was bloody freezing outside!

 

[Mariusz]

Well after last week's nightmare finally got the correct washer jet pumps (had to order 172 pumps, the 182 ones I was originally sent were wrong) and fitted them both. Windscreen wash is awesome now with the mist jets :smile:
Unfortunately xenon washes still aren't working 😞

Illuminated it a bit better with the addition of more lighting in the garage.

All fit ok mate?

Treated it to some Mikalor clamps, it's a beaut

 

[Bluebeard]

Put all new headlamp and LED sidelight/number plate bulbs in.
I hate yellow bulbs.

Sadly I dropped a bulb into the light unit so tomorrow I have to take the f**king bumper off to get the light out.

Fucksticks.

20 minute job with some material I had left from when I did a 205 GTi I once had ages ago.

[JonC219]

I'll be honest I've looked a few times and struggling to see what you've done

Is it the yellow fogs?

Go and treat yourself to a cookie sir, you are correct, I tinted the fogs with some golden yellow tint - how very French...

 

[UK_Ricky_UK]

Oil and genuine Renault filter, £30 bargain!

I just realised how sarcastic I sounded the first time and can only apologise!

Looks good suits the French tin can

Don't worry about it, I didn't sense the sarcasm until you just highlighted it.
You still get that cookie

 

[DannyR]

I cleaned mine first time this year. Just had cup spoiler fitted and bumper and boot sprayed. Then tucked back away as looked like rain! Roll on summer!

 

[Stefan.]

Fitted new wiper blades

Was really beginning to wind me up being all streaky
