The only real plans I've got left is some paintwork but with everything that's going on I can't see that happening this year..

With plenty of time off work I decided to freshen up the engine bay.. New battery terminal cover on order and bonnet seal and that will do for now join

Gave the clio a claybar and coat of dodo juice wax, pretty pleased with the end result.

It has a ktec stealth exhaust and induction kit and tbh it's more than quick enough for the roads now days! It seems a lot quicker than my last cup aswell..

Cheers! Yeah it's easy to get carried away, I've got a to do list that's constantly growing.. But I really want it to be a car I can jump in and go for a drive rather than just parked up not used constantly. Yours looks pretty mint 👌

To be honest if I have to do them after 6 months I'd be more than happy! I might even look at getting them refurbished properly in the summer

Only hammerite smooth silver which others have used from what I've read.. Hope its OK!

Cheers for the comments! Paintwork will be the next big thing now.. Front end freshen up and some rust bubbles on the rear arches.

Track wheels off, a good clean of the arches, calipers a lick of paint and turinis on. Well pleased with the end result!

Actually the first set of wheels I've ever had done properly and well pleased with the results!

Just collected the refurbished Turinis.. Will get these on next week hopefully and then sell the 15" track wheels and tyres that's on it atm..

I'll still be keeping the coil overs, solid mounts, ktr induction kit and exhaust but just want it to look as oem and tidy as possible... Your bay is looking good though! What do you use to get the manifold so clean?

Personalised plate on and full size which looks better in my opinion.. Turinis are in being refurbished and powder coated this week so just need some tyres and they'll be fitted. Just a before and after of the front end -

Ah I see, I've already given my trims and stereo the scrub treatment just wondered if you could still get new genuine parts from somewhere..

Where do you order your parts from? Aerial and interior trims mainly?

Another small part done, hard to get a picture that even shows it.. Makes the front look a lot deeper in my opinion?

Have sent you a message.

Already on order! Hopefully here this afternoon so should be on over the weekend.. And just enquiring about having the Turinis refurbed so that should smarten it up nicely.

Each to their own I guess but it had seen better days anyway!

Only a small change.. Cleans the front end up a little bit.

That looks mint 👌 hope to be doing my engine bay when it's a bit warmer outside!

Only Meguiars Scratch removal that I had laying around.. Not even sure it's that abrahsive tbh but it worked a treat 👍

Great time of year to explore! Feel free to message me with anything I can help with.. Cheers

Boiling hot water a scouring pad and determination 😂

Headlights given a polish with some abrahsive polish (by hand)

Worn plastics scrubbed up.

Yeah can't wait to get those back on! That'll make the biggest difference 😁

First up gave the interior a good clean, cleaned seats and carpets, removed all the worn soft touch rubber and new mats. And gave it its first wash!

So thought I'd do a write up in here just to keep track of the progress I make.. The car HT53RBZ was previously owned by a few members on here and used as a 2nd car/occasional track car, I'm looking to tidy it up and get it looking as oem and tidy as possible without spending a fortune. Plans...

Picked up the above Clio 172 cup today. Had one years and years ago and have been itching for another since selling. Previous 3 owners are/have been members on here so have had a good read through the history!
