SJM's Porsche Grey Black Supercharged Renaultsport Clio 172 - Detailed!

[Chapppers11]

Hi guys, I've been quite quiet on here as of late and have a few interesting write-ups to share, first being Dan@SJM 's very unique supercharged Renaultsport Clio 172, currently pushing over 290bhp on low boost!


Finished in Porsche 911 GT3 RS Grey Black, the car needed a general improvement and some protection for the Spring Castle Combe Performance Action Day.


A few of the before's -

I didn't get many shots of the wet work because of a huge downpour, but it started with the wheels and arches, then the bodywork was pre-soaked with Citrus prewash.


The car was then hand washed with the two bucket method, decontaminated and dried off inside.

Paintwork was cleaned and glazed with AMGlaze, then sealed with AMSeal and AMWax.

Plastics wiped down with GTechniq Panel wipe and treated with C4.

Glass sealed with GTechniq G1.

Wheels and arches sealed with GTechniq C2v3.

Exhaust cleaned and sealed with Auto Finesse Mercury. (Plastic surround still to C4.

And the finished photos -

This was an awesome little car and it was the fastest thing round the track at the performance day!

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed.

Looked great at Coombe even if it did die a bit. Good work!

Looks superb, the carbon bonnet compliments the colour of the car nicely. Don't like it when it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Always liked this car.

Shame about the rear polcarbonate window.

Bit of a shame because it was caked in dirt because of the weather!

Thanks buddy, it's a good one, don't leave it on too long or apply too thick because it can end up hard to remove.
