hey there peeps,
I'm 21 from East Anglia. I have just brought a 1998 Mk1 Clio paris (face lift?) im looking to tart it up even tho i know its only a 1.2 lol.
It has a few faults with the exterior.
1. A dent on the r,o,s bellow the window and has cracked the paint and rusted a small patch, the same panel has the fuel cap on there so around there is a bit scratched, but had it T cut today so that sorted some of that out.
2. A round the "skirt" is what looks like rust bubbles under the paint, the paint work is still in gd nick, its just bumpy lol.
3. The lacker on the bonnet is pealing off in big patches. T cutting helped abit but i think the whole thing needs sparying.
And it of course has the trade make stone chips which i hope all should be able to be just dabbed over.
The engine seems to be working fine, I've already owned a 1.2 oaise 1995 and well that was shagged. However the paris loves to be in 3rd and can go go go go go go (u get my drift lol) as you can see I'm not very mechanically minded, but willing to learn and from what i hear there normaly easy to work with lol.
Like I said im hopfully going to tart it up Lowering, bodykit, alloys, etc.
But I would like some advice on where to start, as this is my first car project, Im guessing it wud be to fix the exertior first before i start to mod
Can anyone also give me addvice on here to get clio mods and parts cheap and good quality?
i'll put some pics up when I've taken some so your can get an idea what I'm faced with lol.
Thanks too all that read this.
