It was my ex gf and not too sure what happening with it as not on talking terms but i belive its been wrote off and i know she doesnt have money to buy it back and repair it with her finance deal, also her insurance would be ridiculous as she is 19 with a claim now for 13k plus her gap payout.

Cars looking good, like what you have done to it so far, that Snappy Retrim wheel will look really good once fitted!
I recognise the number plate, think I've seen you're car around Boreham Services & Chelmsford quite abit, I work in Chelmsford and drive a Inferno Orange Megane.

Yeah I work at the mcds there think I've seen your megane before aswell.
Did you come through boreham mcdonalds drive thru last night (thursday) an iceberg 172 i think on turunis came through but it was busy so couldn't chat.
Paris spent the afternoon at mine, so heres some pics!
Firstly, posted this elsewhere, but the fleet of Clio's! lol
Got a brand new Genuine (thanks to Adam at Wolvo) engine mount to go on....
I forgot to get pics
but Paris fitted that mostly on his own, First mechanical job hes done and a top job done with my supervision, I'll get him doing more in the future!
Hopefully have some more progress soon when I have the car back again to get a few bits done!

Right slight update worked out im spending 120 quid a week on fuel so need to save money looking into buying a second car clio or megane diesel worked out i want to save myself money but still have fun and then have a car to use when one breaks plus mean i could take this one out on track aswell but going to look into insurance as still quite young to see if its worth it.
Someone run into the back of me, wahhh!!! Got lucky just bent the rear bumper and scratched it up bit so cheap fix and no major damage.
Clio played its small part in my Cliosport driveway again!
Then, How many people does it take to wax a Clio?!
Also Serviced it the other day, Pollen filter, Air Filter, Oil filter and oil (All Genuine Renault), Plus gearbox oil change, and Cat fitting kit to stop the blow. 102k miles.
List of jobs is slowly getting shorter.

Right time for a update/photodump car has got got rear ended guy was polite agreed to pay for repair did an ok job repairing it but has highlighted the poor paintwork or passengerside rear quater where it has prevously been sprayed so its a bit irratating but not much i can do about it really
Took the bumper off to assess for any chassis damage but got lucky as it was all fine

went to the milton keynes meet with the girlfriend AlexW tbunker1912 and joe meekings (dont know his cs username)

Foggy by you? 
Went to surrey rolling road day other week with the se/sc lot was well impressed run 177.9bhp and about 151ft-ib needs the map tweaking as its overfuelling below 4.5k still well impressed as it about to roll onto 105k now still love driving it, thinking of taking the rear seats and carpet out as its more fun as I love the noise but hard to have conversations when on the move so debating it.

I loved it when I took my seats out, depending on how many miles you do it's fine
Small update will upload pictures later cars has had belt and dephaser , camseals done by MWM really happy with it and highly reccomend him to other especially after the fuel decided it no longer likes to work and he sourced and fitted it for me aswell to get me back home also bought a set of 182 wheels with good thread toyo t1rs on it as spare wheels havn't put them on yet so dont know what the tyres are like so opinions on them are welcomed as id like to know.
Bit update cars been good since belts have been all done had no problems (touch wood)
Went to prept at brands hatch was well surprised at the turn out it was massive for an evening show i thought.
Cleaned up my engine bay
Fitted a sticker Thought it goes quite well
Rattle canned my 182 rover stone grey didnt come up too bad wasnt too bothered with the finsh as they are going to go in the winter.
Also bought four new yokohama s drives hoping these last a little longer
Cleaned it up With terrys 172
Then this arrived in the post
Trophy spoiler was well chuffed with it
@kyle 86 is going to detail it before FCS so should be gleaming
So making slow progress with it needs some expensive bits next like coilover and recaros but i dont see this happening for a while.

until some plank decided to reverse into me so bumper has got to be resprayed again for the 2nd time in 6 months. Brillant. Bit of an update going to collect recaros tonight! Excited much!
Holy thread update incoming so ive been a bit anti-social in the clio scene as I had been saving for a holiday to Mexico but we have been back now for a while now so I can get back to some bits
The car is now on 146k miles and its starting to show several door dents/stone chips still pulls strong just use a little bit of oil if you press hard for a while, (few weeks)
But I have been to a few shows we went to French Car Show with some friends my other half brother in law and his brother in their c2 v6s which was good.
Been returning to shows I went to as a kid old school American stuff as that is what I was raised around and so was my girlfriend here is a photo of her dads 40' ford coupe we went to santa pod whilst at the supernationals only got one run in as it was poorly organised.
Went up lakeside with @AlexW @meekings14
I purchased some recaros and a strut brace not for handling purposes as they are useless for that but since stripping my rear I found it difficult to secure things down and was adamant that I wasn't putting my rear seats back in I can use this to split it up.
Its passed its Mot had the exhaust welded again this rear as I caught it on a speedbump.
And replaced the rear shocks as they where shot. And replaced my wing mirror as someone didn't like my parking.
Will upload my pictures in a min.

I have also started getting some detailing gear mainly autofinesse stuff so the shed is now all sealed and ready for winter
but yeah my interoir is moving along now
alex changing my seats
and they are in
my current plans are its has a bit of paint bubbling on the drivers rear quarter so going to look have that looked into as we think its early signs of rust so going to get that hopefully repaired, when that gets done I am going to look into having the front end and rear bumper sprayed(someone hit it, again) and hopefully have my wheels refurbed, but we shall see car is now due its Aux belt again.

From the steering wheel to the rear light will post a picture up tomorrow at some point going to have to find some places to get quotes on paint but then im left with another dilemma.

What's that?
I can ask the guys at work for you too if you want?

If you don't mind mate
I wanted to have the front end done but I then have to get passenger door done aswell so it is all one colour but then passenger rear quarter needs touching up, around the arch area as its stone chipped. And the bump needs to be sprayed as that is scuffed.
So the only panel that doesn't need paint is going to be the boot,
but im left with,
Can I justify spending this much because im feeling its going to be north of £1500.
And b) when do I get it done? as it upsets me to look at but im going to have to save for it to be done in one lump as I cannot afford to be without my car.
Not sure mate left the gym went to my mums for ten minutes (I dont live there) come out and noticed it so it happened either of the two I think it's my mums house as I think I would have noticed it to be honest but im just not sure, as she lives at the bottom of a cul-de-sac so someone would have had to come down the road to do it.
Photo dump
Apologies if the photos repeat should show the damage the rust that has occurred on the drivers quarter and the marks on passenger quarter along with passenger door rust.
Fml.
