dmallett's indecisive clio thread! Monaco ph2 pg1+, Titanium ph1 pg31+, PB ph1 pg43+



Re: dmallett's indecisive clio thread! Monaco ph2 pg1+, Titanium ph1 pg31+, PB ph1 pg

Got this today, horn now works and so does the fan.

Moral of the story;
Listen to Alex W as his diagnosis is right, and I dont understand electric s**t.
Listen to sideways danny1 (or what ever Dan at 519's username is now) he said the fan probably didnt work ages ago when it kept getting hot.

New v Old. They arent painted amazingly well, but for the price of the paint/very little of my time I cant complain.

I have an engine cover Dan, maybe i could take away your engine cover virginity?
 
Re: dmallett's indecisive clio thread! Monaco ph2 pg1+, Titanium ph1 pg31+, PB ph1 pg

Thanks to Dr Jekyll my engine cover turned up.

Sat it on the engine, im not convinced. So looking for opinions on what to do, do I spray the inlets/cover? If so what colour combo? I plan to tart the engine bay up.

Oh and air filter is only temporary like that.

I don't like engine covers.

Painted rocker cover (A good job!), inlets etc looks good. Bin the hoist points.
 
Re: dmallett's indecisive clio thread! Monaco ph2 pg1+, Titanium ph1 pg31+, PB ph1 pg

Glad to be of assistance :)

Got there quick tbf.

It did and its in good condition too you were right!! Though I got excited thinking I had a hoover on my door step:eek:

Hoists will come off, just sprayed them as they were tight and I feared snapping the bolt so will give them ago tomorrow.

Oh and you thought my spraying of engines was bad, the previous owner made a right mess of it. It also appear it used to be yellow.

Engine cover is staying as I just got it.


I was kinda thinking spray the inlets same colour as the throttle body (VHT Aluminium IIRC, below!) and do the engine cover pearl black?

spray the raised Renault sport on the inlet gloss black, I reckon that could look quite good. Also saw this parked in the doctors Friday hah when we walked past it was like I know who you are (was in a suit at the time) kind of, slightly strange ;) It did look really clean though nice car!!

Loose engine cover, spray inlets and fuel rail.

Clean all hoses, plastics and get brackets etc powder coated.

Looks 100% better but then you look at Phase1sr (Scott's) and loose the will to carry on :( lol.

Would love this though.

Hate to say it but I'm really not a fan of that inlet.

It's not the best, it was a temp until I had the other ones matched and powder coated.

But I sold the car :(

Previous which looked a lot better.

Unsure if Im a fan of of painting the lettering different, I did it on my flamer & I hated it. Might give it ago, as you can tell im very uncertain lol.
I thought I recognized you but you looked so different in a suit, Ill try to say hi next time!

No comment.

Love it. Want it!

I love it too, see it in the flesh and you wont want it.

First picture is a massive no lol, second picture just looks like it is now but cleaner and painted properly, maybe I should go down that route then worry about the engine cover after!

Actually the more I look the more I like that second picture!!


Stop making us feel inferior :eek: Your engine bay cleansing must of cost more than my car lol

It looks loads better in the second pic, if I'd of kept it, seeing what Scott's done to his id seen that as inspiration.

I did anyway before selling. Lol.
 
Re: dmallett's indecisive clio thread! Monaco ph2 pg1+, Titanium ph1 pg31+, PB ph1 pg

This happened. (Picture taken my passenger FYI)

This car is becoming an utter pain in the balls.

The temperate gauge likes to spike up and down, it will go all the way to the top then drop to mid way whilst driving along lol. Proper stumped on this as the only part that hasnt been changed in my ownership on the coolant system is the water pump. But it is pumping water as when I pulled a hose off it was shooting water out a fair pace (proper testing that).

Then the starting issue, sometimes it doesnt start and the little red immobilser lights flashes like mad. Same with both keys for the car. If you lock the car, unlock it and try again it will eventually work.

Anyone care to give me some ideas? ha
