wanting to start refurbing the wheels although they are gleaming as standard colour im not sure if to go white or a bit different and go black then repair then polish the rim to a mirror finish or mirror finish with a black rim???? bit of help needed i think.

boot looks cool, had a quick read through, did you get a panel filter fitted in the end?

thanks. not yet mate still undecided which filter to go for between a k&n or a ktr one. boot was realy easy tried to keep the weight down using 6mm board and thin battonits only like 1inch thick at most but holds everythink in place properly.Looking good mate
Think the K&N one would be better cause they specialise in air filters don't they?
Yeah it looks smart only problem is you can't put much in the boot lol but I guess that's what the back seats are for

managed to de-miste the passenger side headlight was realy simple need a new seal cap for the main beam but managed to use a bit of electrical tape to botch the fuked one that the previous owner destroyd lol all i done was took the high beam bulb ,sidelight bulb and the indicator bulb (left the main beam bulb in and turned them on to add extra heat) then got a hair dyrer (full heat and power) blasted it into the holes where i had taken the bulbs out worked a treat. now all i have to do is restore the outer lens as it has the usual clio headlight problem there both pitted etc so ill tackle that tomorrow morning with some wet and dry and some compound then polish to give them some sort of protection to the elements.

sorry for the lack of progress been a bit slow on getting parts my exhaust arrived today was getting exited when i was opening it then to realise that it was the wrong backbox they sent a 172 backbox by accident and sent mine to some body in france so got to wait for the another 1 to arrive now gutted. also struggling to find a m16 bolt for the tow strap. and now i cant make my mind up to go for 1*2 interior or get some reclining buckets in the front maybe some help would be nice. going to start on my wheels next week got something a bit special in mind but depends on how good they are under the paint (not sure if they have every been refurbed in the past.
clio 1.2 16v dynamiq
well been looking at the headlights all last week trying to decide what to do with them restore or get angels i know not to everybodys taste. well im going down the restore route my drivers side wasnt too bad just usual pitting and yellowing mainly around the indicator, the passenger side is being replaced completly as it keeps misting up even when i dry it out fix the seal think theres a crack somewhere i can see, anyways so out came the wet n dry and bought some maguires ultimate compound and heres how it went......
firstly here was how it looked before i attacked it
then masked around it so no accidental slip would mess up the paint
then a bit of elbow grease with 800 grit then 1500
800 grit forgot to take one of the 1500 but it was alot clearer
then used maguires ultimate compound with buffing pad attached to a drill not rich enuf for a real da but worked great
then hit over it with some autoglim high resin to seal it against the elements just a little
and removed all the tape and this was the end result

well that's kinda what im thinking of for the whole car something different but mainly using oem Renault parts, as my current are 15's id have to go with lower profile tyres wouldn't i so that it doesn't knock the speedo out?They're nice wheels. Would be subtle but different
had a delivery today had my rear exhaust mount arrive pitty ktec havent got the exhaust to me yet 5weeks now good job im patient lol, and my new skoda splitter arrived got a bit of i idea i might try with it but im going to keep that a secret for now lol.

i actualy forgot about plates think im going to wait thou as im after a private plate for it whats the difference between a standard plate and the 3/4?
yeh still waiting for the exhaust had it arrive last week and they sent the wrong backbox by accident so im now waiting for the correct 1 they sent mine to somebody in france haha, soon as it comes itl be gettin fitted bought some drill attachments to cut the recesses out today but cant do nothing now till it turns up.
was thinking maybe a campus boot and rear bumper but undecided probably just get a 1*2 bumper lol.

cant wait to see what you do with the exhaust, havent seen this done before, remember to colour code the plastic trim at the back or it could look a bit strange.
regarding the 3/4 plate, standard size is 520mm x 111mm, and the 3/4 plate measures 390mm x 83mm, I thought this was a tad small so got a custom 520mm x 98mm so it fitted perfectly (check and you'll feel your front plate hanging over the edge).

thanks adam yeh think im going to go for the same size as yours where did you get it from if you dont mind me asking? and yeh all bump strips front rear and sides will be getting colour coded soon like i said just want to get all my bit first then think il have a crack at them myself if they turn out crap ill go spray shack on them or theres a spray shop not far from mine that are good on prices.
thanx complex, the french colours on the grill was done with electrical tape so when it starts to fade i can just whip them off and put some fresh ones on or remove all together if i get bord of them.

ok so just been on the phone to the insurance as i was looking at getting a thatcham toad alarm fitted and was told well that wont affect the insurance which i thaught at first was good untill she said it wouldnt lower it either, so point of my rant is why do they even bother asking you if you have a alarm system fitted to the car when you get your quote as it doesnt change the price. oh but she very nicly said if i was to crash the car they would retreive the alarm system for me lmao what a joke

clio 1.2 16v dynamiq
so as some of your may have read i was considering doing a conversion to a 1.2 tce from the twingo gt but had a changed of mind and not looking at a throttle bodie set up prety much totaly built by myself got the bodie set up pretty much planned out but having great difficulty trying to find a standalone ecu to run it so if theres any clever kids out there a bit of advice would be alot of help.
