Look quite good actually @Djw John

 

[imprezaworks]

I must be in the minority as it breaks the blue up nicely.

Yep that's the one mate. Don't forget to use a code - I got mine for just over a tenner.

Storm 200

HEADLINING

The headlining on the 200 always irritated me as it had a burn mark on it for some reason so me being be it had to be swapped out.
As luck would have it @cpaterson76 (thanks again) had one that he no longer required and was coming over to Sheffield to pick up his new project therefore:

OLD (with burn mark)

And removed:

NEW

But as you can see the new headlining had an aperture for a rear cabin roof light which I didn't spot at the time but a perfect chance to upgrade the interior lighting
So a trip to the local scrapyard and bought another courtesy light with original loom and plug and connector:

'A' trim removed and new loom and plug soldered in and heat shrinked properly:

Quick test:

And fully installed and working:

Jobs a good'un and nice an oem. Total cost of £10 and half a day

 

[charltjr]

Goddamn it, I want it back.

 

[Clio_fool]

Lucky the light just missed the cage!

 

[mossyv6]

Goddamn it, I want it back.

It really is a lovely car mate. Thank you for selling it to me and it's being very well looked after.

Lucky the light just missed the cage!

Yes very lucky pal - came together nicely

 

[mossyv6]

Oh and fitted my Recaro seat covers to keep the seats mint.

 

[Gus]

Not seen that headliner with the rear light myself either.

If you have it, its worth putting a large towel under the seat cover so it covers the seat base bolsters. The inside seams of the cover worried me a little as they sit on the bolsters and thought there might be a chance they could contribute to the wear. Or just a micro fiber towel on each bolster under the cover.

I'm sure my old AG 200 had the 2nd light in it but I could be wrong.

Yes good idea - I think I will do that anything to help stop the wear on these fragile seats.

 

[182_steve]

Love that with the second light, bargain too! WINNER!

Great ain't it, took a bit of time but worth it

Just glad you brought it for me mate - it's now even better than original

RB 182

Replacement drivers seat upper skin

Drivers upper seat always bugged me due to slight wear and dodgy stitching on the emblem. Remembered I had a spare replacement upper skin so -

FITTED:

 

[mossyv6]

Storm 200

Very important update (lol) another sunglasses holder fitted.

 

[Clio_fool]

I'm not sure if you've got insane attention to detail or a really bad ocd problem? Whichever it is your cars are all amazing Paul:up: . Finished the 5 yet?

I think it's OCD to be honest with you pal. I hate to see things that just aren't right. Also I like the challenge and it's so satisfying doing it your self, learning along the way and the end result looking better.

Funny you should say that about the 5. I have been trying to get my garage cleared out because I want to empty the garage to get project 5 underway again

 

[182_steve]

Huuge improvement there with the RB interior matey, to be fair that stitching on the logo would do my head in as well so I see the need to do it:tearsofjoy:

Very good doing it all yourself too, imagine how much somewhere would charge to swap all that!!

It's bad to say but I probably wouldn't trust other people to actually deliver the results I want/like 😧

OCD again

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah looking good.

 

[mossyv6]

Yeah looking good.

Does it make you want NOT to sell your lovely RB?

 

[Clio_fool]

Lol peer pressure applied [emoji23]

 

[imprezaworks]

I see no for sale advert

This gets the 'LIKE'

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah just couldn’t be assed at the moment. Maybe after xmas ish.

Agreed - the run up to Xmas is never a good time to sell a car.

Trophy 182 - rear bench and door card replacement.
I put a 172 rear seat and alcantara door cards in the Trophy last year:

But wanted to go back to oem, so removed them:

But I had to bin my originals as they got marked when I angle ground the old bolts out. So courtesy of @webby (thanks mate) I got this rear bench locally :smile:

I still had my original door cards but needed a very good clean, lol:

All fitted (water marks are due to blooming crap rain today):

Back to OEM :smile:

 

[mossyv6]

Whilst installing the rear seat I had to change one the seat belt trims due to it being broken:
Old

New

I did a guide to help anyone else change them - really quite easy.

Here is the guide: https://www.cliosport.net/threads/g...-trim-piece-replacement.812808/#post-11496575

 

[182_steve]

Looks great :up: the set up you've taken out should have been what it came out of the factory with, being a bit more plush you could say, but totally get the need for oem, looks minty mint!

Totally agree Steve, main reason I put them originally is the split rear seat, so much easier to get more stuff - drop the seat and still have the child seat the other side.
Can't say the weight saving would be much either.
Also thought I would do it know whilst I could still get hold of another rear bench.

 

[mossyv6]

A couple of gearbox oil changes.
RB 182:

Storm 200:

Next job is to tackle the rear brakes on the Storm. Tried last week but failed due to the stud conversion fitted.
