Fitted these mist washer jets earlier
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=371563062007&alt=web
They needed trimming in order to get to fit , the plastic was quite brittle so wasn't an exact science.
Once fitted they sat proud at the front
Compared to the original
They also fired high and fired screen wash onto the roof (due to sitting high no doubt)
They were taken off and the originals put back in !

Given the nice weather recently i took the oppourtunity to refit the speedlines and give the calipers a clean up / check pins still moving freely.
BEFORE - On the laguna wheels
The calipers were a little dirty, and had suffered a few stonechips through the winter months, however they cleaned up well
AFTER - Back on Speedlines, much better, however i immediately noticed a slight difference in ride due to the change from 225 back to 215s.
I know the tyre shine is missing, however it was raining/sleeting whilst refitting these so i skipped that step. Pretty ironic given its the 'summer' setup.

Cheers chris, one thing i noticed was the amount of tar the clio has accumulated recently, so much so i could feel it through the washmit (!). Going to get it removed asap, seen that WD40 has been recommended a few times so will give that a try, thankfully deep black hides it well!
I can imagine it shows up pretty well on yours. will let you know how the WD goes , worthwhile trying to remove before you clay it too.
Well I have a big can of auto smart tardis which is fanstatic stuff but still let me know
Forgot about that stuff! - just ordered 500ml as a tester , will give the WD a try out of curiousity though.
^^^^^WOW !
And i thought bike track days used to kill tyres. You sure you aint been cruising a local roundabout all day :-p
Theres a few vids of 197/200's Vs CTR doing trackdays on youtube. Almost al show them to be a match for each other. Bet it was epic........

I think its known for it, i noticed other cars were suffering the same fate, its predominantly a right hand turn track plus the warm conditions may not have helped.
2 minor things I noticed from my time on track;
1. Theres too much body roll when pushing on (on the road it feels firm and corners like on rails, on track it handles well but you can feel the roll much much more) - OEM suspension replaced in the last 5k.
2. The seats (non recaros) arent too supportive, linked to point 1 but i found myself permanetly up against the LHS lower bolster.
I guess this is the trouble with having a daily driver on track days, everything is a compromise - how far do you take the modifications etc...
