I really like the car, minus the fog ducts.

Most people would of just thrown in the towel and sold this car, glad you havent.

 

[Christopher.]

After spending pretty much all day looking at the car i have decided to take the ducts off ! Left the fogs out for the moment aswell. Also gave me a chance to clean the inside of the wheels and 4pots

 

[Gaz_]

Leave it like that, remove the nipple ring, done. Looks perfect as it is imo

 

[d4vy]

Glad you took those ducts off they looked awful.

Nice progress though, lovely car. :approve:

 

[mr.pink87]

Put the fogs back in... This just looks wrong.

 

[Christopher.]

Bits to do before CSS

1. Take bumper off and refit fogs
2. Sand and polish inlets fully
3. Clay and wax car

Some parts will be going up for sale soon after iv sorted out the garage to take on the day

 

[Christopher.]

Bit of a milestone, the car ticked over 50000 on the way to CSS. And as Rentech did such a good job as always this is the first time in about 8 months the car is fault FREE So some pics to celebrate.

New location for a change

Good that it's sorted now.

Fault free=

 

[Christopher.]

I say fault free, its actually rolling around with 3 bots holing each wheel on. We had to use the bolt extractor on the locking ones as the key rounded off :dapprove:

 

[dudes45]

Wow looking good mate! I hope I can get something like this in a few years when my insurance isn't 3.5k for a crappy 1.2 lol! Nice car dude and great photos to!

[mr_n]

You knows it

 

[Christopher.]

Bought Chris's (Toomer89) ktec show cage off him today. Have always wanted one, and yes i fully understand it is for show and has no purpose other than looks

Going to start sanding it down today and then paint it white again through the week. He also chucked in the false floor and a fire extinguisher with it

 

[subarufreak]

are those wahsers so much better? they are from a c5?

 

[Christopher.]

There awesome mate, takes about 30 seconds to do each one.

[Clouder]

Looks great but I don't understand the show cage? You buy a clio cup, Renault went to great lengths to reduce some weight for you and refine it's driveability, and you're going to put it all (and some) back in, seems a shame IMO

 

[Christopher.]

Trust me mate i doesn't weigh that much, il weigh it later then weigh the rear seats but i highly doubt the gain in weight would be noticeable. I can lift the entire cage on one finger.

6.7kg it weighs.

 

[Fletcher]

The show cages aren't that heavy.

I still think you should have gone for a full on 'Race' cage mind

 

[Christopher.]

Precisely mate there 'show' cages :S

Ah il arc weld some scaff polls to it mate and have me a full on climbing frame in there, no dash dodging here

 

[TimR26]

I noticed you asked about camera mounting in the Burpspeed thread.

Alex H uses one of these to mount the camera in his XR2

I like your style mate.:race:

 

[Christopher.]

Cheers Tim, gonna build one my self :S

[Matthew]

Love this car, reminds me of my old one. The cage will look mint, keeping an eye on this thread!

Love the standard look too, defiantly a route I will be going down if I ever get another Clio

[Fletcher]

Looking forward to seeing it with the cage Chris.

 

[Christopher.]

Cheers Pete

Having a bit of trouble with the halfrauds paint reacting with the cross bar for some reason, rubbed it down to the metal now so should be ok ! The rear legs are done just the cross and hoop to do now. Going to be a bit of a mission to do the hoop in the garage :S

Shed + scaffolding = new shed?

Reinforced shed.
