    Soft paint and pad combinations?

    Racing Blue is hard paint, mine certainly was one of the hardest finishes I've machined in 13 years. That aside different cars can vary slightly. Depending on the finish and level of defect removal required or expectation, I'd recommend using a polish like Meguiars #205 and a finishing pad and...

    Fogs look good mate, nice cheap mod. C4 is excellent, lasts a good while and doesn't require much product.

    Did you remove the cat as well or just the silencer?

    Grey spot marks on 197 F1 vinyl graphics

    It greatly depends on what the grey spots are, could you be more elaborate? Rubber and vinyl care is water based, so will easily wash off.

    Cleaning Engine Bay

    Spray any electrical terminals with wd40 or cover with cling film. Don't soak the engine bay with a pressure washer, I always use an open flow from a hosepipe. Agitate the cleaner with a brush, rinse and then dress the plastics with something like 303 aerospace or autoglym rubber and vinyl, both...

    Clio 197 Cup project (Racing Blue).

    Yeah just been looking at Jack's project thread to see what the drops like. With the cup dampers mine already feels quite firm, so don't really want it anymore crashy. Would be good to hook up with you both at some point to get an idea and have a natter.

    Clio 197 Cup project (Racing Blue).

    I'm not sure yet Luke, was considering Eibachs but not sure the drop will be enough to warrant them with the cup suspension. I heard the H&R's are a lot firmer, how you finding them in regards to ride comfort?

    New Type R price!

    You'll struggle to find a 4C at 42-45k, most are demanding a premium, but I know what you mean. (sorry for being picky) :)

    Clio 200's detailed from new in 2009/2010

    For those that don't know I'm a detailer by profession since 2003, had been flicking through some of my older pictures and came across these 200's I detailed when they were boxfresh. Just thought it may be of interest, never know someone on here may own them? I have had to cut out big chunks of...

    Clio 197 Cup project (Racing Blue).

    Pretty straightforward mate, you have to remove the front half of the arch liner (4 clips & 2 screws) and then 2 bolts holding the fog light in place. Film is about £4 on flea bay and you get loads. I was originally after a Nimbus 197 , just couldn't find one good enough at the time, but pleased...

    Where to get springs fitted?

    I can't believe they would be charging £360 for fitting, I've used them a few times and based on that price it equates to 6 hours labour not including the tracking.

    Clio 197 Cup project (Racing Blue).

    Not much to announce, been really busy with work so any upgrades have been limited. Wrapped the fog lights with a yellow tint to capture that old school Renault look, inspiration from Luke_197 Some Team Heko wind deflectors fitted, now I'm still undecided on these, I bought them more...

    Wind deflectors

    Yeah I know Chris, they were packed well but just appear no care was taken in quality control. Have complained to the seller and they are sending out replacements, can only*wait and see before I try and salvage them with the machine polisher.

    Wind deflectors

    I might be a fussy sod, but got some today from the eBay link and they are scratched to hell. I only got them because I like the window open a tad in the winter to stop it steaming up.
