New Clio owner, Ben_stevo's previous white supercharged 172

[Jaeclio]

Good day everyone, I'm Jamie From Gloucester and I have just taken on a White Clio 172 which was previously Supercharged, I say previously because the chap i purchased the car off has killed the supercharger and replaced it with the aircon unit to get by.

It now has the aircon unit fitted back on and running as a 2.0 N/A with all the other aftermarket performance parts. It's looking a bit sorry for itself but i've taken it on as bit of a project as I also have a 06 Bmw 120d as my daily.

I have full intentions of banging the supercharger back on because i still have all the bits and it's currently mapped for one, so is over-fueling on idle at the moment. I understand the Rotrex chargers cannot be reconditioned so will have to purchase one at the price of £1200-£1500.

This is my first Clio, You guys have far more experience than i do dealing with these cars. In terms of a financial return in the long run, would you guys suggest i put the money in to re-supercharge it, or just put little cash into it to make it a good tidy example of a 172. Eg, How much does a good example Supercharged clio go for these days?

Regards
Jamie
