I found Halfords to be a little off for mixing. My last clio I colour coded the door strips and the paint from halfords stood out a mile too light two times I tried. Mate had RB mixed by them looked alright on it's own but up to the car it's a noticeable difference. Ive had some paint mixed by...

That's true, but I think the main issue is that the OP rang Admiral up explaining and asking what to do.

I'm not too sure, but if he doesn't have screen cover then the 'excess' he has paid would be part payment and the £110 they're asking for is the rest as if it was a private repair/replace.

Not too expensive than what I thought it would be in total. I'd ask admiral to confirm if you have it or not and if not just pay. Better than having a claim on file for the next 5 years.

What happens to the red immobiliser light when it's failing to start? Soilid red or off ?

I've had this for two different reasons. 1. Under seat wiring caused it along with the airbag light too. 2. Steering wheel angle sensor, but that way wasn't intermittent and was on all the time until I sorted it. Edit: I also read on here that when searching around when I did have the...

Had to look close, was sure it was an actual 182 for a minute there. Is there really people out there that think this sort of look looks good? I did a search for clios on instagram earlier, oh my. Some really bad examples out there! Glad they don't make it onto here unless its someone taking...

I had similar in my last car, but i didn't oil or attempt it slowly. I put all my effort in and the bolt sheered off! Silly mistake :)

I've had this problem before but it's intermittent which I don't understand. I will check around the wiring to see but I would have thought if the wiring was dodgy it would be all the time. Not done it in a while.. But now I've posted this it will do it in the next day or so, it always does! Haah

So me & Das182 spent a while Thursday cleaning the cars and met up with a mate with an ST and a camera and took a couple of photos. (excuse my poor dirty tyres, i hate the road where i park my car!)

Have a search around on here, plenty of guides and people giving tips for it. Not too hard :) I agree, they do look awesome, but if you're changing to 1*2 wings you need to skirts too that need to be secured on, nearly a rep at that point! haha

Haha so you did say that, my bad i was skim reading! Some people say you have to remove the front bumper to get it out, i'd personally do that just incase any clips snap + its only a 15minute job to get the bumper out. Others say it can just be 'pulled' out by using something to pry it but...

Not going to really be a 172 replica then? unless you're leaving the bumper but putting the wings / skirts ? However, if you are leaving it i would Colour code the plastic trim. RS Grill(e?) Skoda Splitter 3/4 Plate A good clean and polish + depending on the look you're going for the Si...

Unless you know the parts on it are in good condition I probably wouldn't. I also wouldn't unless you actually need quite a fair few parts that would be I'm good nick, such as trim and so on. The parts that you need from that list are things that happen over time so the donor car could be in a...

Turn your ignition off and twist the lights on and off twice. You should hear a beep to say its been activated. You beat me to it! ^ haha

Not sure if srs. As for the grill, I'd take it off and spray it with some satin black. Looks great and keeps the shine but not too shiny that it looks over the top. Nothing else needed to keep it like that after, will last a while.

Same as above, infact It can be done with your fingers quite easily I find now. Slightly easier if you can get the door strip off, but if you've not had them off before I'd probably leave it as they'll be on stiff covered in dirt over the years inside.

but.. As there are no air bags in your current seats there is no connections to plug into for it. So your car will not know any different. Most of the time with the air bag light and changing seats is if your car actually has seat airbags and you are putting different seats in without them...

Those stripes add 10bhp. Sick bruv !

You're right, the extra bits don't colour match & he front grill is a non-sport one, hmmm

Looks nice, like it with the stripes on. I'd get your 'reg sorted out though ;)

I'm on my second one. The first one had a problem near the tip of the charger where it plugged into the phone. Would only charge in certain positions.

To get the headlight out its a front bumper off from IIRC. Bumper off is only a 5 minute job then a couple of bolts are on the headlights to take off.

I was going to say Nautical Blue D48 too. My last one was a 54' and had the same bumper, grill etc.. Hmm

Tesco I believe ^, may be store specific from what I read though.

I had the same colour for my last car, I got the paint made up at Halfords and the colour was slightly off and too light, tried again and the same. Got it from Auto Paint and it was a perfect match. Only downside is waiting for it!

Well if you take the glass out you can pop the mirror cap off and have that just as it is. If you can't get the mirror glass out you could just take the whole mirror off and tape up the black plastic trim. To take it all off pull the small plastic trim off from inside and there are three screws...

Takes hardly any time to remove the panels you're probably spraying, probably better to do that than keep getting over spray ruining other parts of the car?

Oh hai, that's me ^ :), Sure I saw you Monday or Tuesday coming off the little roundabout in Dodworth afternoon'ish?

Probably easier and nicer looking to get a new set. Depends what finish you want if you wanted to use your current ones. Maybe they were sanded harsh last time and need spraying black again and finishing rather than having them factory look,
