Clio 197 steady progress

Thanks! Lacquer the stickers or callipers?

put stickers on and lacquer them over..the whole unit calipers included...

After sticking them to the calipers, apply a coat (or two) of lacquer over everything. It makes it much more durable.

Nice one on the painting, they've come out really well! The Brembo decal will finish it off nicely!

I think I'll have a go with the stencils first because I've already bought them, but if they turn out crap I'll get some stickers

Cheers. I couldn't really see them properly last night. When I got to work this morning I thought they look a bit weird without the Brembo logo.

Thanks. No one was injured thankfully. I glanced up at a sign to see what lane to be in and the traffic had stopped and I rear ended someone. Very pissed off with myself

Sorry to hear this mate looked like a lovely motor!

Do you know the extent of the damage yet? Doesn't look that bad from the picture if I'm honest but pictures can be deceiving.

Glad nobody was injured though, that's the main thing.

Not really. I know the radiator is burst and the all the front bumper and cross beam is bent up. The front wing and bonnet don't line up great. I hope it's not too bad because I do want it repaired

If there's no damage to the engine/chassis I can't imagine it being an extortionate amount to repair.

Anyway keep us updated mate, and good luck!

Will do. I hope so. It still ran and drove other than no coolant and the airbags didn't go off. So that's on my side.

Just settled with the insurance. They've wrote it off cat d but I've said straight away I want to buy it back and I believe that they have offered me a reasonable amount. So get repaired and she'll be back fighting again soon looking better than ever [emoji1303]

Yes hopefully. But whatever I have left will go towards next insurance. I don't plan on selling it any time soon so that's not particularly a concern atm

No worries. What else can you do !

I wasnt being negative - just a realist And its worth remembering that if you are thinking of selling / trading in etc etc anytime soon.

Hope the 'rebuild' goes well and your back on the road in no-time........
