    R.I.P clio 172 cup

    Ah brilliant choice, I have a mega soft spot for 106's, such a fun little car that is of surprises and smiles, a very capable car on track to. I have a 172 cup now but before it I had a really tidy 106 xsi that I built into a fast road/track car...I miss it no end. One of friends has got it...

    Nothing much to really update this thread at the min, done a bit more tidying underneath and freshened up the oe exhaust with a touch of high temp paint to keep it looking factory fresh...one day I will put a stainless system on it. Apart from that nothing much to report. A few snaps I took...

    That sounds like a plan, I would have done that but luckily the car has been under sealed before I took ownership so I just did a lot of masking and got spraying...it didnt take much paint to get a good finish. Hehe it is more of a mantelpiece than a car lol, it's not going to see much use this...

    Cheers mate, yeah the heat shield has come up really well with a bit of paint and a clean up, bit of an arse to mask bits up but worth it in the end. The calipers hadn't done much work so I just cleaned them up and had them shotblasted and powdercoated.
