Looks good all coloured coded, strange he didn't do the skuttle panel while he was on
Wheels look to 'old' for the car even though its 10 years old itself, think its purely down to the style of them
What suspension is it on?
The Mk1 interiors are blue renaultsport seats with coloured stitching
The mk2's have grey and black interiors with grey renaultsport stitching
The Mk2 interiors are a class above the Mk1's plus the finishes last better to everyday wear and tare
The fronts are plastic and quite cheap to buy new, less than £40 i think:
WILLIAMS / 16v FRT WING O/S 7700794574
WILLIAMS / 16v FRT WING N/S 7700794573
The rears are fully welded so it makes no financial sense to get them done, you could buy a valver for the cost of the job
Ktec sell them new
A 2nd hand one should be fine though as they're stainless plus i'd expect to pay approx £180 ish 2nd hand rather than best part of £300 new
The F7 engines are very strong get the best all rounder you can
Get one with as much service history as possible that way mileage isn't much of an issue, remember to check the cambelt has been changed aswell
Gearboxes are weak points and loose steering columns are common
Later phase...
Aspect ratio is not offset
45 should be fine as Mk2 clios have offset in the 40's (apart from the 172 Cup) compared to the Mk1 clios which were in the mid to high 30's
Unless you're going to buy a new car from the dealership they're not interested in your car... its all about sales figures
The dealer will sell it for 9.5-10k so they'll offer you far less to ensure they make there tidy profit
Should get approx £9500 private but it will be due its 2nd...
The valver manifold is better for low down torque than the williams item
Most valver hybrids keep the valver manifold unless you want to send another £250 ish on a supersprint manifold
The williams has the wider front track but the valver drive shafts are fine to use
As said above a...
Think you need to swop is the starter motor aswell as ecu and lump
A valver gearbox can be used but ideally a williams box because its stronger
The valver exhaust manifold is better than the willy one in standard form plus this allows you to keep your existing exhaust system
The williams and valver gearbox have the same ratios apart from 5th in the willy is a bit 'taller' hence the marginally higher top speed
The williams box stronger barings than the valver box so in an ideal world get a williams box but the valver box is ok for the job
