My New Car - Back in a Clio!

[Fagan]

Chopped in the EK9 and got this wee beaut from Steve @ R-Sport Cars a few weeks ago and only just got some pictures, just on the driveway for now so nothing special. I absolutely love it and can't recommend Steve enough, service was top notch.

Future plans are to refurb the wheels (1 previous lady owner, kerb central) and a K-tec Sprint rear spoiler. Apart from that it's staying pretty much standard. Maybe a wee cheeky exhaust in the future, we'll see.

1 previous lady owner, kerb central

LOL. I couldn't understand how my alloys had gotten so badly mangled in my cars 5 short years... then noticed that it had one lady owner from new. All became clear.

Car looks smart btw.

Mint good choice mate.

 

[Gally]

Fantastic choice. The only 197 i'd own.

What camera, editing do you use mate?

 

[Hixle]

Looks lovely mate, great choice.

 

[Ali]

You're not the first person that chopped in an EK9 for something else. What was your reasoning for selling!

 

[SaraJ]

That looks great! Nice one

 

[Leeshez]

Very nice and shinny.

 

[Scott™]

Very nice mate. Mint would be the correct wording.

 

[EllD90]

Looks beautiful!

Will be hard to miss in this, spoiler and lose the Clio badge then leave it alone

Thanks for all the comments folks.

Cheers. Nothing special, Nikon D40 on a £15 tripod then messed around with the settings a little on iPhoto.

This sounds daft but as I've said to everyone who's asked me that, I don't really know why. I just didn't 'love' it the way I felt I should. Vtec was a bit of a novelty at first but having about 7BHP until like 6k got on my nerves quickly. Only had it for 10 weeks but don't regret it.

That's the plan for now bud, need to get my private plate on too.

Stunning- I LOVE THESE cars & love the colour-

Youve done a great job on getting the shine out of that!!!

The garage round the back of my house is always littered with LY cars-

I have another LY r27 picking up next week-

enjoy the car & the climate control!!!!!
