rear arches had crossed my mind. still only a thought in my mind at the moment but we shall see :)

60mm lowering springs will give an awful ride. Really crashy and no damping whatsoever. Better off with some cheap coilovers.

Not really but the good thing about the Clio II is that you can buy a doner car for peanuts, use all the bits you need and flog the bits you don't to recoup some cash. Working at Renault means I could buy the body panels etc cheap but I'd want to do it properly and do widetrack/brembos/recaros etc

Re: The New Motor lovely R26 :)

would love to but I bet it would cost an arm and a leg!

Cheers Yea still work there but just not dealing with the parts side of things anymore. Moved into workshop control which takes up a lot of my time. Really enjoyed the mail order parts side but onwards and upwards etc :)

Ring your local dealer and give them your reg, they will be able to tell you if there are any outstanding recalls

Awsome

Wouldn't be able to do the widetrack conversion on a 100 I don't think as they use a different gearbox. 1*2's and the 80's both use jc5 boxes so the shafts are compatible Unless someone can tell me different?

Not really. Insurance is lower, tax is £20, MPG is 60+ combined. A doner car is going to cost around £800. Sell the bits I don't need to make the money back....

Not overly bothered about power, although may consider a remap. Cruise control & climate control conversion, alcantara interior and just general OCD stuff like painting components (calipers, subframe, engine bay parts etc etc)

Exactly what I'm thinking, had so many little things planned for the last one that never got done...

Bit pointless... The whole idea is to have something as cheap as chips to run but still looks the part Cheers :) Just got to find the funds without selling the BMW now ;)

Would cost soo much more

Gunmetal wrap??

My old one was a lot of trial and error though, at least I know what I'm doing this time around...

it's tight but yes they do go in. Might be useful to remove your rear seats before going

Looks fantastic, great mod

Dieppe?

Lovely motor, wish i could take pics like this (dslr?), and thanks for the photos of the vert, been considering doing my grilles black and this has sold me!

Pm 'Wests renault' he will help you out ;)

Cheers matey. Worked out rough costs and reckon I could do the full conversion for relatively little cost. Would love Monaco but not sure if it is. Non sport colour. Love sports in White though hence considering a wrap.

Got the urge to build another DCI sport rep, after starting to regret selling my flame red rep. Loving the 330cd at the moment but just fancy something to get my teeth into again and the missus has suggested she might like a clio again... Would probably look at buying a black DCI this time and...

Renault have linked with the DVLA and are sending out letters to all clio II owners. Basically Renault are checking to see if bonnet catches are going rusty (like above) due to lack of maintenance (lubrication) 2 different letters are being sent out, one letter to cars that have never had the...

lovely looking motor

Awsome

Perfect 200

Lovely

Lovely motor

Cheers Scott, just gotta see if I can get a passenger to share the costs. Also going to Le Mans a few weeks later, so need to budget! Was gutted I missed last year so really hoping I can go this year. From an economy point of view what speeds do you cruise over there at?
