I'd be happy with those OEM seats if A) - they fitted a 182 and B) - you weren't thousands of miles away!

The distance is definitely an issue!

Yeah, Honda still own the naming rights to "Clio" in Japan - So I think it will continue for the foreseeable....

Hi Ell,
Are you going to keep it as a Lutecia ? Or get Clio lettering for it?

Why change it? I think it’s quite cool with the Luticia badge.

Well hello there Craig! I think I'll keep it as is for now. See what the paint is like as they tend to fade and you'd see the lutecia outline if I remove it.

Cool, it has to be a Clio I think it'll be ok 🤞 the car looks like it's a really good one

The next French nugget that is on it's way to Canada.

It's an RS Clio 172 Jean Ragnotti Edition - Basically a 172 Cup but LHD

about 300 were sold in Europe and 30 in Japan this is Number 25 of 30.

Has 50,000 miles on the clock and in lovely shape.

So the work begins on the 172 Jean Ragnotti....

Suspension is HKS coilovers on the front and on the rear Aragosta shocks with Swift springs - Interesting combo!

I was going to do the belts on the car but on closer inspection they look mint so should be good for another 5 years maybe 10

15 easily

Changing belts is just a conspiracy pedalled by big rubber.

100% - Same with all this Renault stuff

When I hear use a specialist - I think well i'm special....
When I hear use genuine locking tools - I think a coat hanger and some mole grips will be fine

Pedaling and scaremongering at it's finest these days. Unreal

To be fair, when's the last time you heard of someone's belt going which wasn't related to a pulley failure or aux belt failure?

Exactly, always the rear right brake caliper that causes engine or belt failure....

But the belt never snaps.
