well normal approach is to get the car sorted then immediately sell isn't it so as such decision has been made for you...NEXT! lol

i'm going to plug for £541.67 and a half eaten rice cracker

ET30 is essentially like running a 13mm spacer on all 4 corners, I would expect perhaps maybe some rear scrub but fronts to be fine. all depending on how low you take it, 'moving to coilovers' means nothing as you can run coilovers at stock height, higher or much much lower so all depends

lol thought I had put that, must of been raging too much. don't mind mods but wish people wouldn't advertise misleadingly. either means they know so little about the car they don't' care or they're lying. neither route is good when asking top dollar

and had warning for knackered tyres since 2018......and not moved in 3 years

TOTALLY STANDARD......bar rear lights and battery cover and wrong coolant cap and wrong side repeaters and aerial and awful steering wheel recover........ :p🤣

I definitely wouldn't run poverty spec mk2 daily like a cup. Need climate, cruise and auto stuff imo. Wouldn't be without it all now

Until you mention you were painting it, don't use it if you paint it. I recommend ignore paint and just go enjoy it 😋 :ROFLMAO:

Mines on 213k original engine and gearbox and runs a treat still. Use it daily and occasional trackday so I'd say zero worries provided looked after and maintained well

Don't drive it after paint, ever, the stone chips just come straight back 😥

Personal choice thing too, the 197/200 drive better really but imo the interiors are hideous and running costs are higher. I've run my 182 daily for 8 years now and wouldn't even consider changing to another Clio. If I wanted a more grown up drive, I'd buy a saab :ROFLMAO:

Please post results as yours and @Big_Steve_T refurbs are most recent and I'd like to get mine done eventually......refurb off :ROFLMAO:

How have they matched the paint to the powdercoat then? Notoriously difficult as the ral codes never match same between two types of process

Tidy Needs more miles on it though, poor thing wants to stretch it legs a bit :p

140 ish including return postage for a basic. embroidery etc costs more

Cars currently in pieces on rear end to perform the hub conversion, managed to get all four bolts per side out to remove the caliper brackets. So next task is to chop that old stubs off, flatten the mating faces then drill out the bolt holes to 8.5mm and tap to m10 1.5 thread for the mk2 bolts...

Few #nofilter snaps now she's back on the road from a brief hiatus over the last week

Yeah the stone chips are a constant nightmare but rather use the car and enjoy it than worry too much, all about the 20ft pass 😋 No carbon badges for me I'm afraid, I like the diamonds to remain highlighted in original Renault fake chrome. Picks them out nicely imo

I'm a total carbon whore! Second time around with this car too, sold it all and then rebought and added more, it's a terrible addiction! :ROFLMAO: yeah I guess it's had a 'new' one since. It'll be back on coilovers end of the year when the ones I've got get un-stranded from Scottish lockdown...

Rest of carbon fitted to the front bumper today and fitted up to the car. Also recoated all the dodgy bits under the front arches with the old hydrate 80. Let that all cure overnight and I'll refit the arch liners in the morning. Cheers Ben

Front end carbon finally on

as above, cheaper all round, less unsprung weight so handling benefits

I just leave the bonnet shut most of the time ;-) @Darren S

yeah just loads of heat cycling and 16 year old plastic, not much you can do really! @Darren S

@Cookson because they're cool

I don't think so matey, there was no part missing as such, just cracked and the panel to subframe drop link snapped off

The faceless clio, back on the deck so I can just clip front bumper on and off as I'm working on it over next few days. Arch liners cleaned up and pikie fixed for the bonus points Old skoda splitter off, bit of damage on bumper, they take some hammer though daily use, so despite being...

Right, ripped bumper off to fit carbon stuff, got distracted by rust chasing instead but made a bit of fit and start progress and nice to clean up the arches and hopefully halt tin worm So bumper off Dirty face Dirty arches Cleaned Rust Treated Face cleaned

Great find! Looking forward to seeing pics

Great stuff, always wanted an rsi. Yes they're called the same over here! Have you kept the standard interior so you're keeping the original clocks etc?
