2002 Clio 1.2 16v dynamique smarten up project.

Snapped this up at work 3 weeks ago, 1.2 16v dynamique with 40k on the clock, full renault service history, 1 elderly lady owner, new belts and fluids, new tyres, 12 months ticket and 6 months tax, £1500, bargain.

The aim here is to make this look as clean, and smart as possible using only oem parts with the exception of lowering springs.

So, here it is, on the saturday i checked it out on the ramp before handing over the dollar, mint nothing wrong with it except needing a fooking good detail.

Finally got around to sorting the 172 wheels out. Spent 4 hours last night sanding, proper boring task this. Then got the wheels to work this morning to get the tyres off and sand the lips down with my air whizzer thing.

painting is the easy bit, sanding them down and getting all the marks out is the s**t bit.

Really great buy mate! With such low mileage at the price, its really looking great! With the 172 alloys plus a 60mm drop it will look uber smart! :D
