My plates are velcro'ed on, its good for removing them when washing the car, taking pics etc too, Doubt I'll have people stealing them, and my mates just put the plates up side down a few times, its become boring now though.
Also means you can switch between 3/4 front and full sized front easily if you get pulled.
Get this thread up to date too, have been following since you first got the car, I love it.
Had a chance to have another play with the front door cards again? Awkward things!
Yeah I think cars look so much nicer without the plate in photos. I should probably keep a full sized plate in the boot just in case but I don't have one lol.
Ill try and get it up to date soon matey!
No mate not yet. Just got the door handle and the door pull screwed in and left the speaker and bottom ones out.
I did manage to remove a full leather interior from a Volkswagen Passat Highline yesterday though!
I think it's about time for another update on this thread! This time, it's the Clio Sport Saturday photos. (Only about 7 months behind!)
From what I can remember, it rained most of the time we were there but it was still a good day nevertheless. Especially looking round the War Museum.
Here's a few photo's that other people took -
And finally, my favourite photo of the lot -
Thanks to everyone who took photos of my car, they're really good quality
After the show I decided to tag along with the CS campers. (I was originally planning to stay the night but had to go into work the next day unfortunately!) We had a decent sized convoy from the War Museum up to Tesco to get some supplies. But then a few of us got left behind!
I was following @Scrooge & @Rob To the campsite but somehow we managed to get lost. Several times! We even managed to drive into the correct campsite and drive back out again as we thought it was the wrong one!
All in all it was a fun day and I'm already looking forward to the next CS camping trip.

I only worked out your forum name the other week when you put up that detailing thread and I recognised your car.
Haha cheers, yes they are a bit marmite!
I decided to fit my old M.A.D. tow eye. Wouldn't mind a proper cup racer one or the 'Si' tow eye though.
DISASTER!
This happened in October when I was taking my girlfriend to A&E -
I dropped her off at the hospital entrance with her mum and went to park the car. Drove towards the car park barrier but went in at a funny angle so I couldn't reach the ticket machine. Decided to reverse instead of getting out the car, (It was p*ssing it down), and managed to reverse up a dropped kerb and off the tall bit. BANG!
After parking up and sitting in the car for a few minutes I dared myself to go and look at the bumper. The splitter had been destroyed and I thought I'd smashed up the carbon fog light surround as well. Luckily the actual bumper was okay.
I looked like a right idiot when I had to walk back over the barrier, stop a car and rescue the remaining bits of carbon trim from getting ran over. The fog light surround was alright as well, just needs sticking back on.
I'll be on the lookout for a genuine cup splitter now. I know the Skoda ones are about a tenner btw

Every time I look in this thread I always think how mint this looks Dan... Gutted about the damage
luckily, it doesn't look like the bumper is damaged which is a plus I suppose

Clio Sport 182
Thank you mate
Your welcome! I went for an 04 arctic 182 with cup wheels and suspension
. Turns out it used to be someone's from on here so i'll be looking to track them down at some point! Its been really well looked after!Your welcome! I went for an 04 arctic 182 with cup wheels and suspension
Ooh nice
it'll be easy to find them just have a quick search of the forum. Glad you found a good one! Just found some more pictures that were from 6 months ago so trying to upload them but Flickr is being a bit temperamental!
I decided it was time to upgrade a few bulbs on the car so I swapped the standard yellow ones for some nice crisp white LED's.
(Even though they look blue in the photos)
I changed -
Side lights
Number plate light
Boot light
Glove box light
Courtesy light
Here are a few photos:
Sidelights -
Number plate light before -
After -
Glove box before -

The only problem is that the overhead courtesy light flickers really bad. They've only been in a few months. Is it the LED on its way out or something else?
The glove box and boot lights use the same sized LED and I bought them all together but they work fine :S

Try swapping the bulb to a different one and see if the issue occurs, usually in electrical terms it's a dodgy bulb in a house etc. I had a dim glow at night with mine!
I spotted this on splitter scuffers with something on the bonnet

I'll give that a go and see if it is the bulb. Mine is constantly on slightly as well. I think I read somewhere it's the voltage because LEDs use less power or something?
Haha yes you did, was waiting for all the hate
it was only a photoshop Will do the other black bits at some point though
Did you get the bulbs I linked you? Flickering = bulb knackered, my boot one is doing it!
The constant on is to do with the direction of current alternating through the bulb. Mine is the same. Going to see if I can swap the wires around in the light connector to make the voltage flow the same way if possible!

Yeah I got the same ones as you mate. I'll have to order another one then.
Ooh right okay, how would you go about doing that?
I'm still thinking about joining another LED to it so the cup courtesy light works on both tilt options.

Oh did you take that photo?
A lot of people say that about the colour thanks matey, much appreciated!I'm off this week so going to have a play with the multimeter and see if it's do-able. If it is I'll help you sort yours!
Okay dokey, thanks mate!
I've managed to source another LED but I'm not sure if it's the right size as I haven't looked yet I believe they're the et37 Cup Turini's. You could probably go a little wider than 16s on the front.
The 16mm spacers are too wide on the back though.
Haha!
182
Danman when are you fitting the wheels you picked up today , I was the one in the odd ph1 and picked up the itbs
jack-c 5 m would be better on the back with no scrub
Going to give them a test fit tomorrow if it's dry. I need to get a set of 5mm spacers for the rear so the wheels clear the brake calipers.
What do you mean by "jack-c 5 m" though?
EDIT: ^r****d mode!

I wasn't gonna put any spacers on the back. With the lower offset on my cup turinis the rear isn't too bad. Like you say tho 5mm probably would be perfect.
Defiantly needs some spacers on the front tho to fill the arches. Struggling to decide between 15mm and 20mm but I think I might go for 15mm as I like a little bit of tuck.
Cheers mate

Finally upgraded to some 182 xenon's which I bought from @danj.richardson - Shame they didn't come up sooner as I had got my old Cup lights looking brand new!
They need a good restore but I'll save doing that for another day. Anyway, onto the photos...
The old standard lights -
I started by removing the plastic clips which held the grill in place and then the bolts which secured the arch liners -
Then I slowly pulled the bumper away from the car -
After this, I unscrewed the screws which were attached to the under tray and arch liners from under the car and I was then able to pull the bumper off completely -
I then disconnected the fog lights and moved the bumper out of the way -
The next step was pretty straight forward, just had to undo a few bolts which held on the headlights -
Close up of the induction kit
Then I swapped over to the projector light and switched it on, result!
Swapped my LED side lights as well and compared the two units -
Finished swapping the other one over and decided to have a lunch break after all my hard work :clown: -
After lunch I put the bumper back on (kind of) and that was it -
I didn't take any more photos as it was dropping dark when I had finished.
I'm well impressed how good the projector units are over the halogen ones. It's nice to be able to see where I'm going at night now!

Haha, at least I have a spare set of igniters, bulbs & ballasts.
Haha, they're very easy to do!
Driving up to Spinksy's Sunday to collect a nice package

Oh? What's that then?
