I knew roughly what to expect, but it is still pretty bad.

Minor updates. Probably an unpopular opinion, but I specifically wanted a cup with a/c. My (brilliant) first cup didn’t have it and was a pain in the arse, especially for doing motorsport related things with young kids. I’m a soft southerner, who my Yorkshire grandad would be ashamed of. I’ve...

Prepping to fit the new to me bumper and wing and I just dropped the b*****d wing on the ground and it’s ruined, deep scratched all along the arch. FML what a joke. Like buttered toast yet had to land paint side down. So fucked off.

Glad to hear you are happy with the new exhaust. Snappy did a wheel for my MX5 recently and it’s spot on. The comms were very good through the process too. Re your rear badges, I have to ask what/where/who is the correct tape? As I have this very job ahead of me (amongst 2000 other things).

Incredible achievement, well done to everyone behind the scenes that keeps it going and the nice people on the forum. It’s my second time around with a Clio and cliosport after a 12 year gap and I don’t plan on having another gap until I die.

Good work! Looks so much better where you’ve cleaned it up. It’ll all be worthwhile.

@Conor03 what happened with your cup- did you sell??

London, but very happy to get the car most places for a decent price and quality

If I was after someone to sort the rusty sills and petrol filler, the little dents, and paint the cup in a different colour, who would be a good recommendation and a fair price???

Old thread, but your ph1 looks fantastic!

Good luck with your window mechanism… How does the wiper delete at the back look now? All sorted and complete?

Ah, you’re friends with Joe. We keep meaning to do a Sunday drive out with his Caterham and my MX5. Shame about his wallet moment! Think his car is back and at GP sevens now. Your Clio looks fantastic and in no way a junior car in that group. Brilliant.

great to see these updates. The Renault letter is fab. As I said in the pm, happy to help with parts and stuff on my US travels. Good luck with the shipping.

Had a great day at Goodwood Revival. My (somewhat better off than me) friend had a Lola T70 and a Cobra racing. Lola was leading its race on Saturday but ran out of fuel just before the end of the race. Cobra fought its way up to fourth on Sunday. My daughter got a seat in the Lola though. I...

Back to Monaco Blue, sorry…

That’s impressive! My Alpina: Tried to do some other cars and it kept the same alpina on screen and on the box, despite prompting 3 times to change them. That’s the brilliance and limitations of AI right now!

Can you generate one of those images for my car? Mondial blue and inferno orange around the edges! Also, a pleasure to make your acquaintance, you fat wanker. NB: I’m a gradually expanding wanker myself.

I was going to start with some abuse and offensive chatter, but you don’t even know me online, so thought that might not go down very well. (Very happy to be offensive if you like though). Please say more about that model Clio situation. Thank you please.

Will write more later but this is today:

I do have an ultrasonic cleaner but I’ve ordered some zinc plated bolts which I’ll use so long as they fit correctly. The cleaner is great but I quite fancy some newness in there!

Thank you! Mega helpful!

I bought an upgraded engine mount- the one that’s very obvious at the driver’s side of the engine. But my current manky one has horrible bolts- does anyone know the spec of them so I can order some sparkly new ones? The four in this picture:

Like everything I do with cars, this mini job hasn’t gone 100% to plan… I fitted the Sabelt steering wheel and QR, pretty straightforward, disconnect the battery, wait a bit, unclip the airbag etc. my large torx bolt on the steering rack wasn’t a T40, but a T45, other than that ok. But when I...

Thanks for that clarification- The trouble now is I’ll have to look out my ancient car mags to see what the hell I did read! Like you say, great seats though.

Love it! Will be following your progress. One random thing I remember about the williams from back in the 90’s was that the development team reckoned the seats were worth time over a particular road, because of how much better they held you in place than the Clio 16v seats. You probably all...

Major progress on the little Cup. With every kind of job to do I prioritised to the most critical stuff by fitting an Alpine head unit. It’s a Bluetooth CarPlay thing, have set the display and keys to Amber and switched off the annoying beeps. Next, an actual priority, I set off a can of...

Glad you solved the dephaser issue, s**t when it’s a new part! Hope you don’t get slowed down too much with the cracked bracket.
