Also picture of what's going on under the bonnet :)
And the work I'v done on interior, Candy apple red :)
I haven't done any track days in it yet. My plans were to maybe upgrade brakes, fix poop engine mounts and book track day soon.
Here's an update since the last update was a few months ago :o Won't say much since pictures speak a 1000 words. :cool: :rasp:
Christmassss
sunroof fix, f**king loving life. will stay like this until il get CF blank plate.
hand sew a suede gear gaitor ;)
Got bored of not having any...
Saw a blue 172/182 (can't tell the difference, not really into mk2's). with nice greyish multi spoke wheels at about 3:20pm merging onto the m60 near stretford area :D
I heated them with a heatgun for a bit, then just pulled them open. Well, its not "just" because it was hard to do and I ended up breaking one lens by prying too hard. had to get a new headlight off ebay.
but yeah, I put masking tape inside the headlight and taped up the indicator. Then using...
Little update
Home made induction kit. Temporarily I think.
Also got a new bumper lip, thought it was missing something after the bumper respray :D I wanted a Laguna one but had no luck finding one. Ended up getting a clio mk2 which has vents to.
It fits straight on! no cutting, trimming...
Thanks you for the great comments guys! They motivate me to do more work on that turd lmao. Btw Andy, I was going to cover my seats too. But I wanna get some buckets in the future anyway. These seats are like a sofa when cornering faster haha.
Lol stuff you find when you lift off the top of your dash. ha
Prepping the boot for spraying and then aftermath.
Also relocated the battery to the boot today. When i went scrappers to get a fiesta mk4 battery box. I wanted to get a laguna bumper lip too. The guy was being a d***...
Today's update:
Removed airbag module
Really got pissed off trying to repair last owners S*** wiring, so I just chucked it out. Can't seem to find a proper wiring diagram for this radio either...
Removed the left over tar from sound deadening.
Boot starting to look better again...
Also when body filler was drying I did some quick sketches of the induction setup I wanna make when I relocate my battery to the rear. I wanna make that induction setup with mostly glassfibre.
Thanks Mick ! ;)
Little update:
Boot nearly done, right now in primer. :)
Air ducts reworked a bit and in primer as well
The little hole that's in the bumper originally got fibre glassed and filled so that all the new holes match nicely and dont hurt the eye. (Not done yet)
Last shot...
Hey there mate, thanks! But tbf, right now I wish I chose a different material that I was thinking of using. Same style but different colors. And all I did is I went to a massive shop with fabrics that my sister showed me. I bought about 5 meters of fabric. (20 quid). I bought so much because I...
haha, two Adam's with red Phase 3 Clio's. What would you like to know about the air feed?
Thanks, and yeah they should. (Y) I looked at yours and it was soooooooooooooooooo clean
after the respray and then boom. 6 months of tree dirt and a hole in the rear bumper?! Damn
that was sad to look at...
Little update: De-camo'd boot and welded up the center brake hole and wiper. Fibre glass over and primered for now. Will start smoothing and applying normal body filler for final finish tomorrow. Also here are some pictures of how I want to mount my spoiler. I know it's probably not y'all cup of...
I drove past it on the fast lane. It then pulled out with xenons on and chased me kinda. Then we both left at at the same exit and split up at a roundabout. His car sounded like sex haha. Btw it had a Nurburgring sticker at the back. ;)
Great car and write up man! Was a nice read. :) I just wanted to ask you, where did you get hold of the sills? I was looking for some because mine are in a state where I don't think its worth repairing them. They are bashed up and rusted from pushing the jack under etc.
Thanks guys! Craig I'm lacquering the interior in about 2-3 weeks anyway. ;) This is my inspiration: Going for clean, simple look. Will tuck wires and get some nice plates for the footwell's. (Y)
Hey guys, here's a new update on my MK1. I took out more weight out the car. :approve:
I also took out my center brake light and wiper. And I will weld and smooth those parts out soon. For now I did a lil Camo design wrap to protect
it from rain getting in. I also bought a new downpipe and...
Thanks for the answer rctempire (Y) ! Here are some current photos of the clio. I had it on the road for 3-4 weeks, and I'v done roughly 1500 miles. I'm liking it, faultless.
All I'v done since last update is probably black vinyl on door pillars. With the vinyl, the red part of door...
Thanks bionic! ;)
Guys I need some of your help, would this cluster work plug & play on my model MK1?

I'm going to get some paint later on. I wanna color code the side strips, mirrors. And I have to respray side of front bumper and wing since last owner scratched it. And I also want to remove the center brake light and maybe wiper. And then straighten the boot lock area because it looks like...
Errmmm... hmmm... well, its a full straight pipe. :o But, once I collect all the parts for F4R swap, and I'll do the swap. I'll probably get a Electronic exhaust valve for full sleeper effect :D
Thanks mate! My plans are at the end of the post.
I like the roof, door lining cloth for now. When I get bored of it I will probably cover them in suede. Standard look headlights look boring imo, always liked yellow tint being used on headlights.
Btw right now I'm running EBC Brake discs and...
