[MargateChris182]

Hey there Im Chris
Live in Thanet so thought i would post this here!
Bought my new car, a Clio 197 today so thought i might aswell join up with the forums to see whats what
Took me 3 hour drive to get the beast but it was totally worth it, immaculate car and only done 30,000 miles. Bought from Toyota.

[MargateChris182]

Thanks for the Welcomes!
Hopefully soon im going to go for the blue/yellow theme
Have one that comes into work now and again and it looks awesome in that colour co-ordination.
spoiler, wingmirror's and Renault badges going to be done in yellow. Not made a decision of what type yet though.
Engine and tuning wise i am keeping my ideas open so haven't decided what to do yet
