Picked up this Clio today

[timmy2take]

Quite pleased with it, body work isn't too shabby for its age, the panels all seem to line up I think.

Some before and after a quick 1 hour machine polish

Has a lot of Service history, including the belts recently and recent Toyo proxys, new disks and pads etc. So hopefully no major expenses coming up - famous last words lol.

Noticed the washer jet thing is missing one side, did I read you need this working for an MOT?

 

[Spudey]

Is the washer ball missing? Happens a lot when they freeze up.

I'm not sure if you technically need it for MOT or not, but in the real world I doubt someone would fail you for it.

Replacement jet assembly from renault is £15 per side.

Cheapo fix I did was to buy some black beads (10 for £1), fill one side of the hole and drill through at 90 degrees to give the correct fluid path. Glue in place, done.

Not the best pic but all I have available right now:

sweet sweet color mate, nice car!

 

[timmy2take]

I'm not overly keen on the colour tbh, but for the price I paid I wasn't going to be fussy what colour it was.

Its a shame about the alloys and the dirty scratch down the n/s, but you can't win them all I guess.

Thanks for the advice Spudey

Started off with the bonnet - 50/50 shot

Bit more of a shine to it and more colour

ooooooh hello!

1 hour machine polish?

Looks great

 

[Scotty-boi]

Looks stunning chap. Well done!

1 hour machine polish?

Looks great

It probably wasn't even that tbh, it is quite a small car!

Shame it wasn't sunnier so it could show off more of a reflection.

Forgot to put the spec:

65k Miles - All old MOTs to back up mileage
Standard engine
Standard Interior - bar some Phoenix door card speakers
Toyo Proxy tyres
Scuffed to s**t alloys:S
Full Service History - Including new disks, pads, Cam and Aux belt and pulley
New exhaust
& a very happy new owner

Goes really well, I had my heart set on one as I thought I couldn't get more bhp for the money along with the good return on mpg as my work is an 80 mile round trip (although I don't go every day, so the miles wont go up massively)
Hopefully this will serve me well.
Thanks for the comments people

Flamer = win! Nice car!!

 

[Matt W]

Stunning colour!

 

[timmy2take]

Can anyone just confirm it is a flame red? I'm in halfords and I took the Renault number/code but nothing matches up with the halfords numbers

 

[Joe#]

Yeah it's a flamer
