Well, after four fun filled years I've taken the decision its now time for a change. I'm selling my Albi Blue Clio 197 F1 R27 (No. 452/500) Dec 2007 59500 miles (although this will increase slightly through daily use). 11 months MOT remaining RS Tuning Remap (199.7bhp) Upgraded Osram...

Update 06.06.2015 Taken from ClioR27.co.uk Like many people before me, one of the first things I did when I bought the Clio was to remove the Renault ELF sticker from inside the rear window. Unfortunately I didn't know when I did this that it would turn out to be one of the if not the hardest...

Update 02.05.2015 Taken from ClioR27.co.uk After fitting the front splitter to the Clio I decided something just didn't look right with how the car was sitting. I started into the research looking at pictures of other 197s and at the start I saw an image on Instagram of a 197 sitting what I...

Update 31.05.2015 Taken from ClioR27.co.uk With Devon having fitted the new mirror for me while he was replacing the windscreen, all that was left to do was to connect up the wiring. Just need to tape if off now, so I don't get any shorts. All back in place and good to go. As always...

Update 30.05.2015 Taken from ClioR27.co.uk After the nightmare dealings with the Autoglass call center and three weeks of waiting the day has arrived... With the right screen now available for the car work started as soon as Devon the fitter arrived. What a beautiful day for fitting a new...

Best thing you could do would be to get a professional to remove the existing mirror, worst comes to the worst they break the screen, they replace it. I'd undecided on them to be honest. Theres times I look at them and like them, then theres times they look like a cheap stuck on after market...

Thanks very much @BREMBO, I'm contemplating the skirts at the moment, I just can't decide if I really like them enough to put that kinda money into them. The one thing I've definitely ruled out though is the rear spoiler, I hate it with a passion lol.

Update 26.05.2015 Taken from ClioR27.co.uk A few days ago I purchased the after market Renault Sport front splitter and seeing as it was such a nice day today I thought why not get out into the sun and fit it. The tools ready for the job (yes, there is a drill in there). This was by...

Messed up the image tag at the end of the last update, so here it is again... Over the past week or so I've noticed the passenger side door sticking a lot. When I unlock the car everything seems to unlock apart from the passenger door. I'm a bit worried it might be a problem with the lock, but...

From memory it was from eBay, but I'll check and see if I can find where exactly it was from. Its been a long weekend, I'm running on empty and theres still tomorrow to go lol.

Update 24.05.2015 Taken from ClioR27.co.uk With my attention turning to the finer details of the car I decided it was a great time to tidy up the brake calipers and touch in some of the chipped paint. Time for a quick scrub getting into ever nook and cranny with a stiff...

Glad to hear it helped a bit. Might post it in there, unless someone else fancies doing it lol. Yea kinda regretting it when I look at them now, but as I said will get them sorted out, maybe over the next week or so and I'll be happy once again.

To be honest its still early days for me to tell, I haven't been driving the car much lately and with the mornings getting warmer the problem wont be as obvious anyway. Know a few guys have used gasket sealant around where it joins into the engine before putting the cable ties on. Just to make...

Update 23.05.2015 Taken from ClioR27.co.uk As you know I recently bought the stickers for the engine bay of the Clio. The old stickers have definitely seen better days. Well it was time to finally get around to fitting them, so first step was to strip off the old stickers. Time for...

Lol apparently so. I've heard that through time the fault will reappear, but not as bad as I'm sure your finding it now. Thanks very much. Not a notion what the differences are to be honest, will have a look though and let you know.
