Clio is all done ready for a trip to Mick @ Diamond in two weeks time. New shocks all round, New Catalytic Converter Lots of cleaning underneath New Horn Brake pads Cup splitter Cup spoiler Can’t wait to finally drive it!

Only the drivers front jacking point was bent/curled around. Bent it back with a small bar and some mole grips, sanded down surface rust and used rust converter. Let it dry and go at it with red primer, and use Wax oil on the inner sides.

Currently away on holiday, but here’s some updated photos from the past few weeks of work. Basically removed the arch and skirts and removed a bucket load of soil, this has happened on every MK2 I’ve bought over the years. Also picked up a Black gold Cup spoiler. Will be painted at some point...

Attacked the drivers side rear Caliper brakes yesterday, and fitted a new genuine shock. I took the rear bumper and petrol cap off to clean up all the arches and remove and treat the usual rust areas to stop future problems. You Just need to order and apply some flame red paint and lawyer over...

If anyone is looking to change their exhaust for an aftermarket one, I am looking for a standard set up that I will happily swap. Not sure what I have on it but will check tomorrow. Also need a standard cat the current system has a decat on.

Started to clean up a rear arch today, and got the wax oil on to prevent rust build up. There is a slight bubbling coming through but hoping this will prevent anything further. New rear pads too. I Need to repeat this on the drivers side possibly tomorrow. Also gave it its first clean, no...

Parts arrived from Renault Parts Direct to fix the MOT failed shocks. Also got new read pads and fixings kit. Job for the weekend once my new impact sockets arrive, this car breaks my cheaper sockets as bolts are so rusted and tight!

Love a good Clio valver! My first car was Naples too, all be in a 1.2 RL Prima ?

Found an hour this evening so gave the interior a Hoover and a wipe down with Polish and leather wipes on the seats. No front mats yet so pinched the rear ones for now. Also noticed the spare wheel and tyre is brand new and never been on the road ? A rear clip has snapped off the seat which I...
