So I've been lurking for a few weeks now and having recently bought my first Renault and first Clio I thought I'd get a wee project thread up.
Now don't go getting excited, this is a second car and was intended to be a run around. I have a large young family (9yr old and 5yr old boys and twin 3yr old girls) and as such I unfortunately can't afford a 1*2, prices here in Northern Ireland are crazy for them, also I can't justify the running an insurance costs for one at the moment.
So I bought a 2004 1.2 16v Dynamique in some sort of burnt orangey sort of colour. It seems to be a great wee car and has really started to change my ill-conceived impressions that all French cars are cr@p! lol I've owned a couple of Peugeot's, a Citroen and for those old enough to remember, a Talbot Samba, and these cars are where I got that idea of French cars!
So I've had my eyes opened by this wee car, loving driving it, seems a very competent wee car and seems to be well built, except for the sunroof lol.
There are a few wee niggles around the car that I will be sorting and my plans are really just to tidy the car up, lower it, possibly a mild I.C.E install and maybe add a few dress up parts to the car.
Oh and I just received my Clio Sport membership pack today too.
