Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
This had an EGR under warranty in the first year but other than that (touch wood) has been spot on. I'm hoping to keep this and run it into the ground. Target is the 428,000 mile clio that has popped up on here recently!
Cheers

Amazing work Tom. You know what I think of it
88mpg is ridiculously good, that is way over double what I get lol

Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
Just had a weekend away at Goodwood, cracking weekend although no pics of the DCI, you'll be pleased to know we averaged 90mpg with a full car load!!!
Airbag light is now on, which I'm hoping is the usual seat connections. Got the car booked in on Saturday morning to check this out.
Also another 10,000 miles on the clock since the service so an oil and filter change is in order
Hoping to give the car a good details / machine polish at the weekend too, will update with pics soon

Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
Thanks, just waiting for a set to come up at a good price. Would love recaro treadlines again, for the look, but I think that is a bit OTT
Hopefully going to be wrapping the A, B and C pillar trims + roof lining in black alcantara soon as well
Il second that! Good effort an cool colour

Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
I find it hard to believe you get 90mpg, yeah downhill just letting it roll. My 100 does 50-55 when heavy footed and 65-70 when tickling it. A little bit better now it's remapped.

Trust me it did average 90mpg! Steady driving 55-60mph from Goodwood to Cambridge. Did 170 miles on 1 bar of fuel plus a bit of red light!

Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
The front bumper and wings are a direct replacement for the standard items, although I will say the wheels do look lost in the arches without spacers or widetrack conversion.
Do you have a sport grille already??
sweeet, was there any additional parts you needed when you replaced the bumper? was thinkin to do this to mine

Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
So it turns out the airbag light was on due to a faulty rotary switch £100 later and the light is now extinguished suppose I can't complain as this is the first fault in 25000 miles
Carried out an oil/filter change & health check and all is now OK

- Cup spoiler
- Dent removal and paint correction

Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
Maybe 'satin' will be a better option. Could have sworn I saw a clio in the media section the other day with gloss grilles and it looked quite smart. Did my old 182 grilles with satin and that looked good though.

Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
Carbon wrap arrived today so thought I'd give it a try on a few parts.
As I have never done anything like this before I though the pieces came out alright!!
Gear knob insert
Dash inserts
Front Diamond
Rear Diamond
Want to get a shiny finish to the pieces. I tried some Halfords laquer I had in the shed but the finish was crap. Would a professional bodyshop be able to keep the same effect but give a shiny finish?? (I hope that makes sense!)

Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
Thought I'd give another quick update:
Carbon wrapped fog light surrounds
Painted upper and lower grilles satin black
Fitted sport interior, although now the airbag light is on! Looks like I need to swap a sensor over from the old seats.
Carbon wrapped seat handles and door handles
Also clocked over 100k on Wednesday
Will update with pictures soon
