In the end I decided just to give it a good once over with soapy water, then Meguairs cleaner wax, then Meguairs polish, and finally sealed it with a silicone sealer. Looks fine for now.

I`ve got something similar in the shed, i`ll give it a try later. Thanks

I wash the Clio at least once a week (weather permitting) but im yet to find a product that helps to keep the diffuser looking good, seems to get really grubby after even a short drive, any recommendations? Cheers

£460 ish for non-cup OEM springs and shocks. £199 ish for Eibachs. And 20/25mm drop. Now im undecided again. Would the standard non cup shocks and Eibach springs be a reasonable ride ?

Thanks for the input fellas, I reckon go for the non-cup set up for the price. :thumb:

few more things to sort out, but soon I will be tackling the suspension . Any proven/recommended set ups for fast road, currently running standard cup set up which seems a bit harsh when pressing on ! Open to all suggestions.

Gave the old girl a good fettling this morning.... and then I polished the car :tonguewink: Hard to get a good picture of white cars I reckon, but its definitely cleaner. New wheel nuts on order cos the rusty ones are driving me mad.

Cheers PITA

Does anyone recommend it ? My shed is full of stuff for detailing black bodywork etc . But im gonna try this stuff and see how it goes. First white car for me :mask: Before and after pics to follow tomorrow.

Managed to find a recommended garage local to me, (Nottingham) Diamond motors, Renault specialist. So I shall be paying them a visit very soon.

Let me know where your getting the work done, that sounds reasonable. Ive been quoted 1k for a refurb box, £660 for cambelt, £790 for clutch. £290 for a service. Fitting new discs, pads, and a caliper service this weekend, and I need to sort the manifold out too because its having a bit of a...

Got a bit of knocking, and a leaking flexi (even though it was apparently replaced by previous owner) :pensive: Anyhoo, whats done is done. Toyosport are out of stock, ideally need something to fit onto standard exhaust, or complete system. Can anyone help.? Thanks

Welcome, and enjoy the fun. :smiley:

Do you wave at other owners, or not. I have still to see another 197 since owning mine (only 3rd week) so just wondering... maybe theres a "Masonic" style wave... or just a quick flash of the headlights. What do YOU do ?

Thank you sir, got a few bits to sort out yet though. Only had it a couple of weeks and not had chance to get into the "fun" zone yet.

I`m happy spending on it, and you soon forget about the money when you go for a drive. (until something breaks :tonguewink: )

Had the Clio exactly 1 week.... Today its had 4 new Michelins, 2 track rod ends, new rear caliper, Redline gearbox oil change, and a set of wipers. :openmouth:

I reckon I will burrellbloke and Beany, suits the looks of the rest of the Clio (flared arches, diffuser, twin exit, etc) Cheers.

Whats your opinions... is it just a "look" thing, or does it actually contribute to handling. ??? Anyway heres mine which was on the Clio when I purchased it last week. I quite like it. :smiley: Possibly tempted to spray it in reverse.. ie white tips and black wing.

Thanks R20BTG, probably looks a bit better than it is. Its booked in for Redline gearbox oil and a couple of new Michelin ps4`s midweek.
