Here's a different shot in the sunlight - showing the outcome of the side strips & the mirrors
It's still possible I might return to the black p1 black side strips depending how fussy I am about returning it to OEM, but if I keep these colour codes ones, I may get the door handles...
Update
Drivers seat stitching repaired. As @PP200t mentioned above. Curved needle, strong upholstery thread & some patience and it came out nicely.
Interior clean & shaved the seats, I did use a razer blade first but resulted in using a fabric shaver in the end, just faster and less effort...
That's awesome! Yeah it's got heaps of receipts & paperwork which is fantastic. Just needs some TLC to bring her back to the glory days. (It looks really clean in that picture!)
I'll find and join that NZ RS group on FB too, thanks @DLX you legend
First couple of tasks was to remove the roof racks & replace the steering wheel
Replacing the Steering Wheel
Old SportLine Steering wheel
New Momo Monte Carlo 350 Steering Wheel in leather, I then purchased these cool Renault stickers that follow the same Renault sport logo colour scheme...
Hey guys
Recently returned to ClioSport after 11 years, I live in New Zealand and this is my fun project. This is my 2nd car, my daily is a 2018 Mazda 3 Sp25
Recently purchased this car and given I have heaps of plans have already begun some, I thought I'd start this project build
The plan is...
Like most countries I reckon mate,
Inflation is high, mortgage rates have doubled in 5 years, insurances going up + all the political nonsense.. but, it’s a beautiful place, majority of people are kind, crime rate is lower and the weather is superior to my old home (Weston Super Mare haha!)...
Hey Davo! Hope you’re well
Not many at all mate, officially there is 53 x 2001 Renault clios (all engines) in New Zealand. That doesn’t take into account colour and engines either.
There is a bit of a complex about European cars over here, “they are too expensive to repair” so everything is...
Hey CS team
11 years ago I lived in the UK with a supercharged 182, now I'm living in New Zealand and recently acquired this 2001 P1 172 with 90k miles as a second/toy car. (CS member since 2013)
It's in fairly good shape but needs some TLC, pleased it's fairly original and unmolested though. A...
Yeah, i've spoken to Paul from RS tuning, they did the work many years ago. He was pretty helpful in giving me some information but it's not under any warranty and Rotrex are not interested in repairing these units.
Found one second hand one on ebay, 3 days into it's 10 day auction and it's at...
Afternoon folks,
So the supercharger on my clio was taken off by the previous owner because it was making a right ol racket but believe it was still boosting fine. Here's a video of the noise it's making.

I know rotrex...
Ryan, Dan.. Thank you both, that's all I needed to know, I'll just leave it off the road until I get a new charger then.
Now I know my options.
Many thanks
Jamie
Right guys, I'll explain the situation a little clearer.
The bought a Clio172, does have a alright spec :
-ITG air filter
-Pro alloy radiator and ininter cooler
-NGK iridium spec r plugs
-Janspeed decat
-2.5" custom straight through stainless exhaust
-Kevlar clutch
-ktec supercharger kit with...
So I'm left with two options I guess, Buy a replacement supercharger and keep the 225 injectors OR remove and replace the injectors with standard 172 ones and hope its not overfueling despite the rs tuning remap.
Thanks again Phil that has cleared it right up for me.
Good afternoon
My Clio 172 ph2 has Megane 225 injectors which was brilliant when supercharged, however the supercharged has been removed and now it's running rich and over fuelling, the spec at the moment is as follow
-Decat
-Custom straight through
-Induction kit
-225 injectors
Are the 225...
Good day everyone, I'm Jamie From Gloucester and I have just taken on a White Clio 172 which was previously Supercharged, I say previously because the chap i purchased the car off has killed the supercharger and replaced it with the aircon unit to get by.
It now has the aircon unit fitted back...
