Yep as chris said I've got two sunflowers it's not that I need two just my 1st one pictured earlier with 49k on the clock I took off the road to give a good overhall, then bought a RB 182 FF & lost interest in the sunflower, then I sold the 182 & bought another sunflower which is the supercharged one

Yeah I remember you saying it was genuine renault thats why I asked. I'd never seen one before till I say you at FCS last year.
It'll be ripped off at some point and replaced with a stealth system. I imagine that it will then be put up for sale on CS. lol
You can always try
.GTFO with your pointless comments. Coilovers = No Deal. I'm not ruining this one. OEM ftw!!
Thanks for all the positive comments guys. I cant wait for TOPO meet tomorrow. Hopefully all the other photography wh0res will get some good photos of it
(hint).
Coilovers for the win Paul!

You'd be ruining nothing with coilovers.
People ALWAYS make the mistake of thinking coilovers means 'super low and stiff' the fact is, you can set them up how you want. A subtle height with decent damping. If I ever own another clio it'll be on instant coilovers. It improves the way the car feels ten fold.

^ Yup, i've already experienced that slight issue LOL. "OMFG, a fit bird must be driving that.... Oh wait".
Thanks Mick for all the hard work you've put into my car this week!! Really appreciate it and has been well worth the wait.
Another shot from earlier. (Before the flamers, I park in that position to keep it as far away from retards as possible)

Also, coilovers are a no go. I'm on a budget tbf and I want to keep my insurance as cheap as possible. The main problem with lowering though is the fact that after, it will struggle to go down the drive. We tried to put Daveski's 172 down my drive (which is lowered between 30-40mm) and had a couple mm clearance before I stopped the attempt before we got it stuck lol.
Either way, sportlines are a long way off... Have plenty of other bits to sort first.
The fun now begins........

Looks excellent there mate. Proper nice.
I'm sure you're just a fairy with your drive though. I never got my clio stuck anywhere, ever, and it was silly low.

Photos lie :rasp:. Proper swirl bus. But equally, a properly epic car!! I can't wait until after my anal detailing has taken place. It'll be properly minted!!
You'd be surprised about my drive. My first 172's cat used to scrape just on standard suspension. My dad's Vectra scrapes every time. My first car, a Mk2 Fiat Punto, was lowered 30mm and wouldn't get anywhere near clearing the drive.
Stupid angle.

It does look very sweet mate, i said that to Gray yesterday as you were driving off and most people that came in to the workshop last week commented on it.
I'm getting a bit old now and prefer to see them standard and if you think those arch gaps are comical you'll love my Laguna GT.

LOL @ Polish.
Love the stickers, can't have 1 for 2 reasons:
-I don't drive a clio
-I'm not from Yorkshire.

It was actually going to be my suggestion. Can't you fix the drive?
This please. (Although i'm just as bad)
To keep things on topic, Feirny and I will hopefully be giving the car a bit of a detail on Wednesday.

I'm clearing this thread out.
I know you three enjoy this crap, but it's the same repeated "jokes" over and over and over.
You can pester eachother on facebook as Greggles has mentioned, so keep it off here please.

Thanks .
I really really love it. It shows dirt soo much more than any other car i've owned though. Ditched already.
Just fitted some clear side repeaters, to get rid of the crappy standard orange ones.
I was going to give the Engine Bay a clean, but its cold out there (i'm allowed to use that as a valid excuse now, seeing as I own a girl's car).

De-Dealershiped The Rear
Just decided to get rid of the crappy dealership sticker on the rear end. Cue a heat gun + nails...
You could tell it had been on for quite a few years LOL.
I also cleaned out inbetween the boot and body, as it was mouldy and full of crap.
Its a good job that I will be detailing the car tomorrow, with Feirny getting in on the action too, seeing as it looks like this:
Only got washed on Saturday LOL. I see that yellow is a fun colour to keep clean.
I noticed that the rear bumper must be faded as part which is covered by the tailgate is still a colour match, so hopefully, tomorrow's session will bring the colour back out.
Should also be adding my CS stickers tomorrow and RS mats.

Heres a photo of the car with the sticker on, not that anyone would care what dealership etc it is...
