Clio 172 Cup
Hi all. I'm Phill from East Sussex, just joined the Club and yesterday picked up this MB Clio 172 Cup. It's largely standard, save for what I believe is a Stealth exhaust and Cooksport springs. The previous owner was also a ClioSport member, so some of you may have already seen the car.
It's been expertly looked after for the past few years by Fred at BTM in Birmingham; I bought it from a customer of his. Big thanks to Fred for all his advice - this is the second Clio I've bought in the past week as the first one was discovered by BTM to be a complete lemon when I took it for him to look over. Thankfully the dealer gave me a refund.
No major plans for the car right now other than to bring it up to as good a standard as possible.
There's a small ding in the front bumper that needs fixing...
...and one on the driver's side B-pillar too.
The steering wheel needs retrimming due to the usual melting, and the brackets that hold the alarm sensors on the A-pillar are broken. The Cup 172 badges are missing from the B-pillars too. In addition, there's a small split on the edge of the spoiler - anyone got any idea how to fix this? Just a case of glueing it?
Lastly, does anyone know what this is? A DAB radio aerial, perhaps?
Looking forward to being part of the ClioSport community, it's already been a massive help!
