    Looking for someone to do some paint correction/ spray a few parts in Cheltenham/Gloucester area

    Some delightful fellow took it upon themselves to key down the side of my car whilst it was parked outside my girlfriend's house, so I'm looking for someone to sort that out for me. The front wing looks like the mark might be quite deep but I'm hoping the rest can get away with a correction as...

    Barnett's Recaro'd Arctic 182FF

    A few non sport owners may recognise my name from one of my previous projects. My car history is as follows: Started with an Odyssey blue 1.2 16v ph2 clio which I bought standard but ended up looking like this when I was nearly finished with it: I then bought an Odyssey blue dci80 with some...

    197 Renaultsport badge positioning

    Just removed the old-fashioned looking standard renaultsport badge from my boot and have a 197 style badge waiting to go on. I was just wondering what people used to make sure it was positioned correctly? Has anyone measured out where it should be to be sort of inline with the Clio badge on the...

    Down on power - dci

    Noticed on the drive home yesterday that I was lacking in power mid range. I used to be able to hear the turbo quite prominently (possibly due to boost leak) but now I can barely hear it at all and the car is very noticibly slower mid range, where it used to peak torque. Runs fine apart from...

    Couple of pics of the dci that I quite like

    Did a few small bits to the dci today and then decided to give it a clean because it was a nice day. Really like this picture of the back of the car.

    BG182 FF by Cabot Circus M32

    Saw it at 11:30 today. It had wind deflectors and looked like an aftermarket exhaust. Didn't catch the reg. Anyone?

    Alcantara wrapping, which adhesive?

    Recently bought some alcantara fabric to wrap my A pillars and a few other bits in. I bought some spray adhesive, but it was way too thick and just soaked through it. Anyone who's done it that can recommend some adhesive? Or just people who are generally clued up on the subject, your input would...

    Red 197 in Cheltenham General Hospital car park

    It's been there the last 2 days so can only assume the owner is on here. Can't remember the reg but it has a cup spoiler. Anyone off here?

    Speedometer problem

    The mph dial needle is not moving. I thought this was because I fried part of the circuitboard while installing LEDs in place of the orange lights that light the dials. So I ordered a new set of clocks, took the circuitboard out of that, installed LEDs without touching the motor that turns the...

    Someone to fit coilovers in Bristol area?

    Looking for someone to fit coilovers for me in the Bristol area, towards the end of this week if possible and preferably for <£50. I normally go to Dan at SJ motors but he's busy until early next month and I'm impatient. Anyone?

    Speedometer not working

    I did an LED dash conversion yesterday and disconnected the motors that move the needles to make it easier to get at the bulbs. However, put them back in and now the rev counter moves correctly but the mph one doesn't move properly. It seems to tick a little, so it must be at least partly...

    Wheel stripping service?

    Got a set of wheels that I planned to refurbish myself. However, after many hours of sanding and still not even being close to finishing one wheel, I'm on the brink of giving up. I was wondering if there was anywhere that would strip the paint off, back to the metal for me? For a price...

    Crazy LEDs dash conversion guide

    Just ordered and received this kit: http://www.crazyleds.co.uk/Clio-MK2-Full-SMD-LED-dash-conversion-kit..html It said they would email a guide for fitting it but I haven't received it. I was just wondering if anyone else had ordered it and still had the guide somewhere? I've found a cliosport...

    Coilover bolt spacing

    Just bought some coilovers but I fear I may have mistakenly ordered the wrong ones. How do you measure the bolt spacing? Is it the middle of one hole to the middle of the other? I bloody hope it is because that'd make it 58mm (which is what I need) How should I measure it, or is it ok as it is?

    Need centre bore increased in Bristol area

    Centre bore on the wheels I have is too small and I need them increased from 57.1mm to 60.1mm. I've rang up some local engineeringy type places, some of them won't do it and the cheapest quote I've had is £80 for the set of 4 wheels. Is there anyone nearby who would be able to do it? Or could...

    Photoshop request

    Another wheel photoshop request I'm afraid. Perhaps there should be a separate section for this sort of thing? Anyway, if anyone would be so kind as to photoshop these wheels: Onto this car: I'd very much appreciate it. Colours I'm interested in are anthracite, an even darker gunmetal...

    Potentially a very stupid question...

    Ok, so I bought a set of alloys off ebay after several messages back and forth between me and the seller in order to establish if they'd fit my car. They're the correct pcd (4x100), offset and width are fine and then he said that they had previously been on a clio so I thought great! However, I...

    1.2 16v won't start

    The car had been sat on the drive for a couple of months, waiting to sell. I went to start it up to take it for an MOT and it wouldn't start. I assumed the battery had lost its charge or just gone so I replaced it with a new one. Trialled starting it up and it started fine. A few days later I...

    Photoshop request

    as in title. Could someone please photoshop these wheels: Onto this car: The car picture isn't ideal but it's the best one I have at the moment and car is filthy now. Any attempts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks EDIT: Could someone also lower the car slightly, so that the arches sit...

    FK Highsports, any good?

    Anyone have any experience with FK Highsports? I've noticed they're pretty cheap and seem like them might be a good buy at £350. Are they worth getting though?

    Tint opinions...

    Currently in the process of removing the tints my car came with. Got the tints off all the windows but this little piece behind the rear windows is a bit annoying to get at, so I'm considering leaving it there. Just wondering what people think?

    Dci suspension queries

    Would anyone be able to tell me the bolt spacing on my car? I have a 2004 (53 plate) mk2 ph3 Clio dci80. I have done a few searches but couldn't find anything so was hoping someone might know to save me trying to measure it myself. My 1.2 mk2 ph2 was 58mm spacing but not sure if all non sports...

    Barnett's Odyssey dci

    Recently purchased a dci which is starting to come along now so thought it was time for a thread. I used to own (and still do own as it's up for sale at the moment) a 1.2 16v, which I bought completely standard and ended up looking like this when I'd (nearly) finished with it. Progress thread...

    Air induction ideas for dci's?

    Recently got a dci and was thinking about doing something with the air intake (if it's even remotely worth doing), I've seen some people make a cold air feed coming in through the foglight holes and was thinking about doing something similar or just relocating the cold air feed. Anyone have any...

    Interior light bulbs

    Just got a 2003 clio dci, unfortunately the previous owner put some ridiculous multicoloured bulbs in the boot light and interior roof light. Just wondering if anyone could suggest some nice white bulbs? Thanks

    Do 15" Rota Grids fit a clio?

    Pretty sure I've seen them on a sport before but certainly not on a non sport. I've tried looking through a few websites but can't figure out whether they'll fit in the arches or not. Details to follow: 15x8" fronts, 15x9" rears offset: et 0 I imagine such a low offset will make them stick...

    Black ph1 172 in Cribbs Causeway X459 *** (pic)

    Parked up next to my filthy non sport. Had ph2 rear lights, 3/4 front plate, looks lowered to me and has black oz f1s. Also said something sport on the rear windows, can't remember what it was now though. Anyone on here?

    Pic request: mk2ph2 xenon wiring

    The wiring on the xenons i recently purchased from another member (with intentions of fitting them to my non sport) seems to have some unusual wiring. They look like this: If anyone has a picture of what it's supposed to look like that would be great. Thanks

    Unusual wiring in 172 xenon headlights

    Bought some 172 xenons to fit to my non sport. Went to fit them today and realised there was no way I could connect any bulbs to them with their current wiring. I'm not sure what the wiring is supposed to look like in these. Mine looks like this (see pic below), anyone know how I can sort this...
