    3M Carbon Fibre Vinyl Interior - Clio 197

    a tip for anyone wanting to do this... Dont do the dash vents! Console is fine though. Now that the colder weather is here im using the heater... its warping the 3M carbon fibre vinyl around the vents because of the heat so I think i'll just remove it. Looked well throughout summer though!

    Advice on what spacers to use on rep?

    I had delta mics 25MM Hubcentric spacers on the front of my old rep.. look up my thread history!... you dont need anything on the back! I did have 3mm but took them off as the wheels were rubbing on the arches!

    3M Carbon Fibre Vinyl Interior - Clio 197

    I also thought that but might give it ago.. The vinyl just peels off without damaging anything so would be easy to put back to how it was if it doesnt look good. II have seen a liquid yellow 197 with the mirrors done and it looked well.. The 197 has the diffuser (google it) at the back so that...

    3M Carbon Fibre Vinyl Interior - Clio 197

    I wanted to... but the extra vinyl I bought came cut the other way so just had to make do! Could always re do the centre vent so it matches... Im sure as hell not doing the console again as that was a b**ch to do! lol

    3M Carbon Fibre Vinyl Interior - Clio 197

    Thanks.. I was having doubts about doing it but im pleased I did now! Do you think it would be a good idea to also do the display on top of the dash with the clock etc? Im not sure if that would be too much!

    3M Carbon Fibre Vinyl Interior - Clio 197

    Cheers Mate! For a 1st time attempt I am very happy with it.. I wasnt sure if it would all be too much but I think it works and looks well! The beauty of the 3M vinyl is it can just be peeled of and it wont have damaged anything or left any sticky residue!

    3M Carbon Fibre Vinyl Interior - Clio 197

    Its actually very easy to remove the parts. The center console is held in with the same clips as the dash trims. Just wedge a flat headed screw driver in at the top on either side and it will click out. It is tricky and takes patience... I lost track of how long it took me to do the console...

    3M Carbon Fibre Vinyl Interior - Clio 197

    thanks tbh.. I dont like carbon fibre! but i liked this when I saw it! I think its because it has a matt finish.. It is great stuff and easy to use, peel off and re-apply as many times as you need to. Its not to be mistaken for cheap glossy carbon fibre vinyl... Its a vinyl film that looks...

    3M Carbon Fibre Vinyl Interior - Clio 197

    I got some of the 3M carbon vinyl... Here are some pics of what I did last night.. The centre console from my Clio 197 was a bit of a nightmare but got there in the end! I blew up a hairdryer in the process, had to run to a 24hr Tesco to get another one just so I could finish it! lol...

    Best paint to use for calipers

    Cheers... Just wanted to check! Ive always used auto-paint! spraying will be a bit of apain as it will all have to be well masked off but worth it for the finish! brush strokes wouldn't be great!

    kwik fit re gas for £49... if it doesnt work they dont charge! my AC in 197 wasnt working but regassing didnt work, it turned out to be some pipe or something that needed replaced.. should have really asked more about the fault.. mine is under warranty so didnt have to pay anything just in time...

    197 Colours

    I bought an ultra red 197 2 weeks ago, had the option of a black 197 f1 but tbh thought the stickers would be a pain the ass to polish around and after a while i'd get probably get sick of them. Plus the Recaro's looked like they would have holes on the sides in no time! I like the anthracite...

    197 Cruise Control

    are you getting the black F1 from SERE? I had it out for a drive before getting my 197 the other week.. they had a red one at boucher and the black, I opted for the red due to it having half the miles and £1250 cheaper! i would prefer the black but my last car was black so decided to go...

    Sunny Tyres

    worth a try! will let you know what they say... the worst is that they say no and i have to fork out for a decent set.. just spent a load on the car so who knows when i'll be able to afford a new set.. they may have to do me a month but hopefully they do something about it!
