thanks for the positive comments as usual Giles. :proud: The black gloss parts are an absolute pain - don't know why this is. I might try the Meguiars too.

You sound like you are in the same boat I was. Mine wasn't in great shape when I brought the car - but if you read back through the thread you'll see that RussZS from here sorted it with a machine polish. Since then it's also had another polish by the bodyshop :proud: I don't know what the...

Front number plate was starting to get a bit manky - loads of water marks coming through from the back... so got a new one and swapped it over :-) Drilling holes using the last plate as a template Also noticed that one of the clips holding the rear arch liner secure had...

I just use auto glym machine clean or G101 . Then a bit of wd40 ok electric components and silicone dressing on the plastics.

Welcome. As you can tell from my Sig I've had a few 106's and we still sprint one. I'd be interested to see and hear about your project.

They also had a brand new cup spoiler sat around in the body shop which I am tempted to get painted and fitted there...:001_unsure::001_unsure::001_unsure:

I did a review when I went from 197 to 200. Have a read http://www.clio197.net/forum/showthread.php?t=16632

very nice cars all those. I was a 106 Rallye enthusiast before defecting to the clio. I have to say I love the Renault Sport models - there doesn't seem to be the same level of motor sport intent with other manufacturers IMO - although I'm sure Ford and Vauxhall owners will disagree. I...

I brought mine for the same thing - something reliable and usable every day but also something I could do a few events in. Unfortunately I haven't had the time for the events (and tbh the car is in too nicer condition still at the mo) and I can now fly or use the train or company car for...

Hi all. Well, the outcome to this was I have had to end up having the front panel sprayed. To save doubling up I have posted what happened and all the pics/what happened here http://www.clio197.net/forum/showthread.php?t=16721&page=6

A bit of a big update this one, as I haven't been on for a while.:( Some of you may remember me posting about the tw@t who kindly drove on an unsurfaced road past me and showered my car with gravel... giving me loads of stone chips in return...

Hi Pete. If it is the seals that stick on the rear window where the door closes they 100% don't need the windows out. Renault dealers replace loads and use a special trim tool. I know because I know a few pple there. I also have seen the Renault documentation for replacing them. I did mine...

I traded in my 197 for a nearly New 200 FF with cup pack about 10 months ago and have never looked back. I did a back to back report somewhere on here if you want to take a look . I listed a few pros and Cons. The outcome imo was that even though the 200 had a few differences they made it a...

Hi mate. If it's the seal(s) that sit on the rear glass/B post and the door shuts against to form a seal (just from wind noise) - you do not have to have the windows out to replace them. I have mentioned this earlier but just want to reiterate as you mentioned about Autoglass taking windows...

Hi mate. I thought about bonding them in when replacing mine...the trouble is though if the rubber splits and perishes again it would be a struggle to replace them and get all that evostick off even with some remover. What I found is that you really need to get all the old glue and residue...

Thanks mate for all that advice. I'm hoping Russ is coming to sort a few swirl marks on my roof this week so I may ask him about protection/waxes for the chips etc.. As you, I have loads now on the rear flaired arches and plenty of small ones on the front diffuser etc.. just a shame as the...

The card in the slot sorts the engine starting.. but I couldn't lock the whoel car from the outside mate

I tried the passenger side but it only seemed to lock that door?? maybe as you say there is a way to turn the key more etc.. I'll check the manual as you say... cheers mate
