Very little has happened recently....got m vRS working again so the Clio was given a rest. I didn't turn it on for about a month as it was at my brother's house. Wasn't expecting it to start first time and run like a bag of trash for a bit, but nope. Started first time and has been top form...

Also use some form of protector on them before you use the wheels. I didn't make that mistake with my new wheels! Can't remember the exact name but if you check my progress thread there is details of the quartz coating I used. This has helped loads

I've got black wheels on mine and it looks as if there is no wheels on it from a distance. I went black as it was cheaper and easier to keep clean. Agree with the silver wheels on standard ride height. If lowering it go different....green....red....I went orange for a while. Although dark...

What else needed doing, apart from re-welding sills and making a new chassis?

Good job I checked as I was going to gamble a positive earth for some unknown reason haha.

Ahh right. It's not the one I saw for sale about 6 months ago then, looks like a similar spec.

Total noob question. Hate electrics and electronics. Currently making a cold air feed light unit, and the side light bulb gets in the way. I have found these bulbs but they are asking for +ve or -ve earth, and either 6V or 12V. As it's from a classic car site I am assuming old cars were...

They are my first set of after market suspension, but my brother and step dad who have had more experience with car parts said they looked the part and good quality and were impressed with them. My brother was quite jealous of them tbh. Not sure in the spring rates. I do have a track set up...

Look at my progress thread. I've currently got BC coilovers on mine. Mine can also go lower.

If it was sub £1.5k I would take a punt at it and restore it as it would be worth it then. I doubt it would pass an MoT test with that hole in the sill.

If this is the one I think it is I am very jealous! I saw it at Castle Combe in April at the Forge Action Day, and wasn't it for sale a while ago and I don't think it sold.

Who has seen this?? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/391824112555 Are people mad or is that is what it is worth with all of that rot? Currently at £2k. Worst bit about the ad "would make an ideal track car". Noooooo!! Do not sacrifice this!

Another Ph1 thread I didn't want to read....puts mine to shame!

Better interior colour. Same as the inside colour of mine.

No one liked my bright orange wheels. I didn't care. Good to be different.

Looks good what you have done so far. Makes me a little jealous as my Ph1 is abused on the track, although it is well looked after. I am on the lookout for another for a daily drive. As everyone has said, the small issues are a pain but keep at it as it will be so worth it.

Yep. I failed at this too the other week as I put a new horn on and to test it I didn't put it on the car and it didn't work. Was just about to take the steering wheel off to see if it was a switch issue on the horn button. Felt like a right mug when I realised that there was no earth.

Renault Sport on. The Clio is fine on or off imo

So who bought that blue Ph1 from the sale section?

Haha. I've messaged them but no reply yet. I probably shouldn't as I've literally just got my daily drive working.

Sod off I am looking at it!!!! Well I need to arrange it but I will be

Jesus...that is only down the road from me. This may have to be looked at.

It could be worse, it could be an Exclusive interior :mask: although there is one in Autotrader (for £8k iirc, yes that's £8k for a low mileage standard Clio) and the interior doesn't look too gash. Must be the photos. The Odessey one that needs a lot of work I looked at in december has now...

Now that my vRS is sorted (just need to pick it up from the garage) I need to get a few things done to it to make it stand out when I sell it. So I am now on a look out for a non-silver Ph1. If anyone wants to swap a Mk1 Octavia vRS for one then let me know. Yes it is a disease owning own.

The black spoiler actually works quite well on this. Sure it will also look good on an Odessey blue one too.

Knew there was a technical name for it!

I am going to relocate my electric window switches to where the stereo used to be as I don't want to put holes in my new door cards. The standard switch is a bit to big and ideally want something a bit more "race" like - just a little toggle switch. Being an absolute noob with electrics what...

What I quite like are the plain metal ones my dad has on his car - like a plastic plate with no border or GB logo but metal. They aren't pressed. You can also get them with the letters like stuck on so are slightly raised, but not in the pressed format. Tiny manufacturer post code and BS number...

Yes. Just like that
