Those rear Xenon headlamp balancer thingy majigs are a precious commodity. Can't even get aftermarket ones now.

I was looking for some of that Truck Liner paint in my local Halfords but to no avail. Good to see you back doing updates.

Cheers Mark

I'll have to watch this thread going forward as there's absolutely zero activity in the North East area it seems. York's only an hour or so from me anyway.

Thanks Daniel much appreciated. This forums really helped, best one out there and the knowledge base is second to none. I wouldn’t have attempted it otherwise. Best £10 or is it £12? I’ve spent.

😂 So pretty much the shitty jobs then 😂 I’m up in Normanby, North Yorkshire.

Yeah that’s pretty much it. If you can visualise it, you’ll get there eventually.

Much appreciated but 4 years ago I’d never done any mechanical work or restoration. And I mean none. But thanks to this website and its members, YouTube and wrestling with my other 2 Clio Sports I’d gained enough knowledge to jump in. That and getting totally ripped by amateurs masquerading as...

And money 💰 but only to a certain degree in this case. I had most of the paint/materials and some parts from my other Clio projects. Biggest expenditure were the new front & rear CUP dampers, front and rear ABS sensors and driveshafts. I’m going to post an updated summary of work so far and...

I sent my mate, who has worked at Renault 30 years, some pics and he said exactly the same thing. Pretty pleased with it, but still someway to go before it’s perfect

Nice of you to say fella, thank you very much 😊

Bodger 😂

Aye they’re a bit expensive but think of how easy it’ll be to take off for you or the next owner 😊

7/10 for replacing those subframe bolts. I’d give you 10/10 if you used the proper captive bolts 😅

How’s the rear beam coming on?

How did you know? 😂 Yeah I got some off a chap on here last year.

I’ll be chomping at the bit mid-week as I’ll have now’t to do on an evening 😱 But yeah, it’s exactly how I envisaged it to be. The drive blew me away though.

And she’s done! Well the front end at least. It’s been some effort I can tell you, even for a workaholic like me, but so pleased with how it’s turned out. I thought I wasn’t going to get it done because I’d forgotten to clean up and behind the fuse box 😂 Took her for a drive round to my...

Can’t do April round as we’re away in Lincolnshire that week. Really appreciate the heads up though. I’m at Croft May, June and August. Think we’re going to Crete in July but nothing confirmed yet. If you’re doing anymore just drop me a message and I’ll take a look.

Last few parts cleaned up for the final push tomorrow to get the car finished. Air-box not the best condition but it cleaned up pretty well considering the age of it. Best I could manage really, although the pipes are shot so on the lookout for some of those. Cleaned the bonnet catch up and...

It certainly does :)

You did ask 😂 My local Renault ‘specialist’ is 10 minutes down the road, which is why I do most of the engine work myself now. Read between the lines ha. Never used Mick. I’m up in North Yorkshire, he’s down in Nottinghamshire but I’ve spoken to him and heard so many good stories about him I’d...

Mick will fit your parts I’m sure. When my track car went in for an engine rebuild to a specialist they took so long I almost collected the car with a boot full of engine parts. I sounded a few specialists out and he was the only one who was prepared to take on the work and put it all back...

I buy 90% of my bits from my local Renault dealer but partly because I’m in the trade and can get good discounts. In terms of getting them to do the work I’d avoid it until you know the car inside out. I say that because Mick will no doubt find other things and update you if it’s major, but I...

It’s a classic 😂

Good man. And to give you some idea of the shed I bought, have a read of this - https://cliosport.net/threads/clio-182-track-car-daily-projects.830168/ Give yourself 3 hours to read through it. I had 2 builds going on simultaneously 😂 still have them today and they’re 👌🏻now

Well they’re knocking on 18-20 years now with the wear and tear to go with it. Took me nigh on 3 years to get my BG to where I wanted it. Did the belts etc first, then just worked my way through it whilst driving it. If you’re hanging on to it, just chip away at it. Some of the repairs on that...

I bought a set of Mark's plates. Still have them on my Track car. Top notch!

I've had to do get 4 timing belt kits in the last 4 years. The joys of owning 3 Clio Sports. I haven't used Mick at Diamond but i've been in touch with him over some other work and he's really organised and a super friendly guy. Comes highly recommended. I think his garage is only 600 yards...

@ajracer - Crikey, that looks very clean from the pictures. Couple of touch ups on the bumper and rear quarter? So what are your plans for that then? I've been thinking should i ditch the Turinis on my RB and go back to standard 182 alloys. I might just get a set and switch them around. Turini's...
