Been a member on here for 4 years, owned 4 cars in that time and tinkered with them all but never bothered to put up a project thread so far.
Here goes then, had been wanting a Renaultsport Clio right since a young age. Finally I got one in Feb this year, perhaps not as tidy as I'd have liked but at the price I paid I couldn't complain - it's mechanically sound, had lots spent on it before I got it but visually requires a bit of tidying up - prime for a decent project!
The car had 104k on when I got it and has so far stood up to a lot of the positive information many on here have said about these cars with regards to miles. I've been pleasantly suprised at how solid it's been.
Here it is before I got it:
And the day I got it:
After it's first clean by me:
At the time this car was mostly my runabout for Uni, a bit of a luxury really but it did see a fair few trips between home and Aberystwyth. Here was a quick stop off in some picturesque Welsh scenery:
Next major event was French Car Show, pictured with my two mates cars.
My headlights were looking pretty yellow and minging here, this was later rectified, along with the addition of some 6K HID's:
The car shortly after received a full cambelt, aux belt and dephaser pulley change at 107k miles (it's second one) carried out courtesy of TCR in Wednesbury (highly reccomended)
