Came across this road going 'Clio Super 1600' on the net.
See.: http://www.estevezsport.com/club/coches/renault_clio_2000/
Guess it's not a real S1600... ie. no rollcage as per Rally car.
Just a fitting of the wider fenders.
So i went to jet wash/hand wash the CS of all the dried up road salt and build up road grime, gotta love the O.Z. F1 multi spoke rims.
(heavily salted roads last weeks due to snowfall)
Decided to do some minor engine cleaning too...
Rinsing certain parts covered with salt crystals.
Boy what...

Having a '02 172 Phase 2, was wondering if i have any factory installed immobiliser / alarm fitted?
Seems the keyfob only is a remote central locker/unlocker.
Or was this an option at the time?
So as i lift the bonnet or open a door the horn won't blast and warning lights will blink?
I always see posted pics of the more common views.
Thought i post one from the top.:
Always liked the blistered frontwings and lowered bonnet creasings.
View from my balcony, 2 story high btw.
Last Sat-R-Day tried my hand with some leftover 'carbon' vinyl from a befriended signmaker, doing full carwraps too...
Vinyl foil has the correct directional weave for that 3D Carbon effect.

Oops...
I suspected something wasn't right not too long ago.
(funny noise when reverse parking and turning wheels)
But today it finally went!

Non-driver side coil broke off, just quarter of a winding.

Took the office EOS 350D home and made some proper pics... :D
Just a regular Clio, as to sporting no RS badge ;).:

Last night snowfall started again in certain parts of Holland.
Next morning piccies of my close call.: :eek:
Being angled (mini wallride) saved my passenger side from a lot of mishap. Obviously the front rim, outer lip is pretty bad scuffed from riding the curb. OZ F1 spokes ate some...
@ K1ngy and all other 1.2 16v owners!
Do you ever consider of buying a 2.0 16v RS?
Just curious... if people will make the final step of aquiring a true Clio RS?
(perhaps most can't be bothered after years of ownership and go for something completely different.)
Also to the peeps who go...
Hi fellow Clio-isti!
Just a quick shoot-out from across the pond... ie. Holland.
Aquired at the end of 2008 through a private sale.
Still very happy, enjoying the 2.0 RS when warmed up, Clio as close to factory original, previous owner fitted the O.Z. F1's.
