If you are on Facebook search for the Clio 1.8 16V groups and join them, most of us mk1 owners are over there now and there are folks who know the electrical side better than me. To my knowledge though the roof sensors and 'plip' sensor can be disconnected and the car still start, the...
Couple more niggles ticked off, carbon sleeve fitted to the PMS shifter, mat centres replaced with dark grey over the green (so 2012) and new horn fitted to headlight area instead of in wheel arch
Geo booked at a local place for 7th
Fooking hell that's been sat a while!
Fuel system stuff definitely Mat at the clio specialists as the phase 1 setup is specific to the car.
Have you dropped the tank yet to access the pump etc?
Some stuff can still be had new like brake components and things, eBay usually best tbh, then the are bordanova and young timers (Google them) for replica and hard to find stuff and Mat Brown (Clio specialist on Facebook) for everything else.
Bought this off Dunc up my way didn't you? I've...

Bumper is melted from where it twisted last trackday so that's yet another battle scar to...

Awkward one that, I'd say drive a working car and see if it's a Clio you want for definite or affinity is just for your particular car. If it's just a Clio 1*2 you want then buy a complete one and sell all your stuff off. If it's that particular car then you've got to either bite the bullet and...
I've got 212bhp F4R in my mk1 with sunroof and yes they are prone to rippling but it's fine and has been for years. On track, with 500lb springs, full slicks etc. The chassis are plenty strong enough for any engine
