Yeah nice Chris. My bonnet has some stone chips in so may be cleaner but think yours is in better condition!

Appart from front end though rest of mine is mint a can't grumble. My will spend some on bonnet later in year. Never seen a black phase1 driving round yet but nice to see some of yours.

Here's mine.

Changed the rear end a little plus have the larger 16" OZ F1 Cup alloys.

 

[Graham Gooch]

I love your car Day, that is such a nice clio.

It's a shame the phase 1s didn't come with 16" wheels as standard (same design) :dapprove:

Looks so much better.

 

[sweetkidda]

nice that m8 looks a minter, cant wait til i get me $$ to get 1

 

[AlexS]

Day, that is mint, looks just right, agree about the wheels.

 

[BrianR]

All standard and like it that way. Gonna take it to Protune for a look at to check everything is fine.

Any suggestions are welcome. Also nearside door trim is loose and need some clips for it. Any suggestions other going to Renault parts dealership. How much would I be looking. Also need a condenser and it's leaking.

Welcome Alex..

Nice car.
Are you sure the condenser is leaking ? it may just be one of the connections to it, the seals can leak if its not used for a while. Worth checking, the sealing washers are cheap.

Nice car Day. Agree with the wheels. Should of been 16 standard. Sooo much better!


BrainR the aircon guy had a leak tester and he said it is condenser. Said it's stone chipped due to mileage. How would I know if it's the seals not the condenser. He moaned that it's not easy to get to cause of tight fitting engine.
Seen condensers on ebay for £105 from Cheltenem Radiators. Seems good price but would take another £100 to fit and gas. How hard are they to fit? Don't really know if I'm that bothered as it's a bit of a Sunday car but if I can sort it cheap I would jump and the chance.
