And OEM. Another reason I am on the lookout for one is the potential value in them.
The Exlcusive on Atuotrader has 26k miles and they are asking £8k, that is far too much at the moment.

for £5k I want a little more than OEM. The...
Yours has a ncie clean engine bay without like it has too much effort or things being removed and a mega clean or a recent strip down and paint.
166k miles......Mine was on 177k when I sold it and it was solid, I could see it going to >200k if I had kept it, although I was about to get a full...
I used Gyeon Rim Q2 and the Gyeon Q2M Cure on my new wheels. This was to help prevent the brake dust casuing havoc on track. Worked a treat. I went with this as it said it could handle high heat and chemicals. Also helped to keep the wheels clean and were easer to clean to. I will be using it...
Not quite 100% Clio related....but the same priciples will surely be used! On my BW E34 the inner lip of the wheel arches is starting to go a little rusty. I want to stop it now before it gets too bad. Without having the car on me I have drawn a picture showing the bit I mean
I have ran my...
Can always gob the exhaust mount full of Tiger Seal to create a "solid" one....my brother did this on mine and it worked a treat and never had any issues from it.
2002 (02 plate), hatch back, silver, sun roof (apparently rare?), new clutch, cambelt and tension, water pump and oil pick up pipe in March at 118k miles, currently on 123k. Air con re-gassed then too. New front tyres, nice custom made centre and rear section stainless steel exhaust however is...
Mk1 Octavia vRS. It's not that it's an awful car as it's fantastic tbh and would highly recommend. It's just I'm an idiot and like Clio's.
This is the Clio I have seen. Nothing major appears to be wrong, apart from wheels and rear bumper

It's happened....Im looking at Ph1's again after selling mine. Would sell the vRS and buy a Ph1 to use every day.
Have seen a black on on eBay for reasonable money....
I took half a bucket of water out of my sills the other year. Not sure how long that was sitting in there, not my problem any more as I don't own the car!
Tbh that doesn't look too bad, I've seen worse. And no, rivets are not too pikey. Adds to that "race car look". Just keep the car living!
I'm reporting this post for indecent images....it's like pornography.
Little annoyed I sold mine now looking at this. As the next thing to do on mine was throttle bodies.
If you have a set of new injectors on the way I would just swap them so they are all new. Piece of mind and that. Keep the three good ones as spares in case you need them.
I had to replace one last year in March and then another in May. Should have just swapped them all in March tbh.
If I am not too late to the party but get them coated once painted in some kind of protector/sealant. I painted my wheels orange a few years ago and looked mega smart. Put them on the car and after a few months the brake dust started to eat the paint away between the spokes. In hindsight I...
You are having the same thoughts I had about my Clio with how much it will cost against what's it's worth. The maths won in my case and I sold it.
Are you able to finish it to a road car standard? That might make it worth a bit more plus it will be a hoot to drive like what you are after.
As promised a few pictures of the new car, BMW E34 535i
And just after I have washed it this morning. Would like to polish it and put some kind of hydrophobic coating on it, like my brother has on his car.
Mother thinks I am mad as I picked it up last night and off on holiday to Devon in...
Happy with that price, but just don't want to use Flux if I have to. Never been a fan of them after messing me about in the past.
Plus I am in a hotel tonight away with work so not really that much to do tonight lol!
My new BMW will qualify for classic car policy being from 1989 so wondering who people reccomend.
Greenlight won't insure it a its RWD so had to cancel the Clio's policy. Footman James thought I was too young. Flux offered £120. Any others to try?
I'm 27, 10 years no claims, no accidents...
Project Clio has came to an end. The new owner has just picked it up.
It's been an eventful 4.5 years of ownership! Time to move on.
Already bought the new car, my friend eventually tempted me with his BMW E34 535i. He just needs to put some new front shocks on it first....unless he is trying...
What other Renault steering wheels fit a Ph1 Clio? I need one with an air bag so was going up the scrappy to get one but want to keep my options open. Is it any Renault of the same period/age? Megane/Laguna/Scenic....
Next thing I want done on the car is refresh the front chassis stuff up - new wishbones, ball joints, wheel bearings, tie rods, black poly bushes.
I've looked in eBay for wishbones, but what Ines will fit and are good quality? Or is it worth buying new from Renault? Are Ph2 ones different?
I...
@barnesautos how easy was it to change? Similar to throttle cable? Or tie new to old and pull through? I've had the car for 40k miles and not done it. Aim for the coming 2 years is make the whole thing mechanically "new" then worry about bodywork later....
If it was on a side road then I wouldn't have left it, but being on the main road into London it was quite in sight of lots of people and that.
If it happened 3m later I would not have been able to get it into that lay by and would have been blocking the road, so it was sort of lucky.
Ok so...
After 4 years of ownership the Clio finally let me down...clutch cable snapped. Middle lane of A4 (just got of M4) in London at rush hour.
Managed to push it to a lay by and left it all weekend as I was visiting my girlfriend. Just waiting for the AA now to take me home.
