Spotted a Fast & Furious tribute car today

He does sell a lot to the continent so it's not as much of an issue as you might think ;)

You want to talk to this guy on Facebook, he repairs & refurbishes the TPS plus a lot of other bits as unless you've discovered a hidden goldmine over there, the throttle sensors have been unavailable for a long time

The front subframe is exactly the same on all Mk1 Clio's, it's only the williams that is slightly different with some extra bits welded onto it, as for stitch welding it, if you can do it yourself I suppose it can't hurt but I haven't bothered to do it on mine as I can't weld and can't be...

Basically just stick the hosepipe into every possible orifice & start blasting Top of the thermostat housing is the sensor for the gauge The 1 pointing towards the bulkhead is a fan switch And the one pointed towards the wheel arch is for the ecu

Parked outside Victoria Coach Station with zero f***s given

The paint finish on the bumper looks just as good if not better than what it was from the factory so you're all good 👌 As for the brake discs, since they're nla you can use 172 discs which are 280mm or bin the caliper spacers and drop back down to the standard discs
