What have you done to your car today ???

[Bluebeard]

Fitted my LED sidelights, new wiper blades, a new indicator bulb and my Senna signature sticker.

 

[Feirny]

Washed it.

Was going to polish it but somehow an Audi S6 got in the way.

 

[Dan@SJM]

New rear wheel bearing. Ordered some new oil for the track day. Fitted the pro race 1.2's mainly to see what the PE2's are like compared to the ventus v12's.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Washed it and used G3 quick detailer which I bought last week. Quite pleased with the results.

 

[Geordie-Chris]

Fabricated custom mounts to the standard subframe, fitted my bucket seat then retrimmed it to better match the Cup. (This was Friday, not today!)

​Sits pretty high so PH 2 will be new subframe

 

[supptora]

Put my sprayed black boot badges on, cleaned the front tow hook thread of rust, ordered a bolt so I can attach the front tow strap later in the week

 

[Feates172]

Decided to fit my rear arb, in the rain.

Was hoping to fit rear hub spacers as well, but didn't turn up

 

[Mr Plums]

Had my tacking done and my steering wheel realigned as it was slightly out which was annoying!

 

[MicKPM]

DS3000's arrived and fitted today (Thanks G172)... got all week now to bed them in before Bedford on Friday

[MCC@U13Y]

[Feates172]

They're not as bitey cold but then again they're not really for road use. That being said though, they're far from crap when cold to but I'm an early, progressive braker anyway.

 

[Shaun 172]

Replaced the ecu and uch module today since my previous ecu was fried

 

[arg_carra]

Full service, full belt and dephaser change......heres to another 5 years with Y795 DTV

 

[MCC@U13Y]

Spraying it upside down too?

Dnt know what happened there

 

[Billy.]

Gave her a quick wash & wax & polish with autoglym's finest.

Really impressed with the autoglym aqua wax, minimal effort and gives some nice beading in the rain

 

[Caekii]

Booked the windscreen guys in to come and sort the rain sensor out seeing as it was working before they fitted the new windscreen and now it isn't... =/

 

[banther]

SORN'd it

 

[James23]

Diy retrimmed my a pillars with some alcantara. Not perfect but not bad for a first attempt.

Gonna dye em black to match my headlining too.

Looks good but looks a little lighter than the seats?

Where did you get your door handle/window switch covers from mate?

 

[James23]

Yeah they are... You can't buy the same colour as the seats as they are a bit blue. Darker grey would have been better but still wouldn't match for that reason which is why I am gonna dye them black to match my headlining.
They're just normal ones mate that have been sprayed titanium.

​Ok mate thanks, they look to have a great finish on them, thanks

 

[McGherkin]

Considered fitting dual optics, decided against it on account of rapidly failing light.

So I spent the evening polishing/correcting them and prepping the wiring.

Of course then I couldn't resist wiring up the Aitch-eye-dee's.

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

No worries Mick, have fun Friday mate. :approve:

 

[Edges]

Fitted some new side bullets I got from Oggy172

Inquired about them Monday, paid Tuesday and they were delivered Wednesday (today!!) Great delivery time if you ask me!

The previous owner of my car RUINED the original bullets, broke all the clips and bonded crap carbon covers over them. Not neat at all!!! Spent ages getting them off the car without scratching the paint, then obviously had to clean under the side strips! Turns out the clip on the side strip for the front of the pass side bullet is broke so I've resorted to glue for a temporary thing. Pics!!

 

[imprezaworks]

Ly is a great colour

 

[mitch1503]

fitted uprated pads and Pagid discs

 

[MKRS]

Built up brand new cup shocks with cooksports ready to go on when I find some time..

And yes I did paint brand new spring top cups

[James23]

Changed the nearside outer CV gaiter. t**t of a job!

 

[MicKPM]

Hope you used a plastic boot and not a stretchy else you'll be doing it again in a few months.

 

[mitch1503]

well in the past 2 days it's had new inner track rod and wiper blades all round

 

[James23]

I didn't use a plastic one cos I intended to swap the whole driveshaft but once i'd got it out I found out the replacement was no good so had to try and find somewhere with a replacement gaiter in stock at 4pm... Renault didn't have one and the only other place that said they had a proper one in was Saf. Got to Saf and it was a totally different size so they didn't have one either so the guy took my old gaiter round the back and came back with a continental branded rubber one. It was a stretchy one but its not plastic unfortunately was a fair bit thicket than the renault one which came off tho. I'd rather scrap the car than do that again lol.

 

[James23]

Oh and today I replaced the washer pump for the second time in just over a year. Genuine renault one this time though.

 

[Alastair.]

You should try the Motrio rubber c.v boots Mick, best boots ever, havent seen one fail yet. Fitted 2 to the mothers clio about 4 years ago and they haven't perished and the straps are still looking new.

 

[MicKPM]

Not tried them no but whats the cost? If there's only a few quid difference I'd sooner just stick with the genuine item.

 

[jonbrown]

Alternator, aux belt, cambelt, tensioners and dephaser etc etc

 

[.LiamC.]

Fixed my gear gaitor with some self tapper's as the front 2 clips had snapped off, much better now, followed one of the guides on here. Also went and looked at a LY 200 at a local garage. Very tempted, but it is base spec as far as I'm aware.

 

[Gavin.]

Had a new windsceen fitted.

 

[supptora]

Fitted my cliosport.net sticker and tax disc holder
Yesterday I added some fancy wheel trims until I get my alloys in a month or two.
