Clio v6 & Atom 300
As others have stated a v6 is a rare car and as soon as you go modified you reduce your already small market still further.
Any non-trivial mods to expensive components ie engine etc ARE risky. Done badly (and i'm NOT suggesting that is the case here) you will have endless trouble and bills. Confidence is needed for the buyer. Fit and finish must be perfect (to show the care and attention to detail) and some traceable history with respected tuners is necessary.
Or strip the s/c off and sell as a kit. IMO back as std a red mk1 would sell far easier.
Good luck with the sale.

A standard Mars Red Phase 1 would most likely demand a higher premium over something that has been tuned up being a rarer ID colour. This might be a better bet. I reckon the supercharger kit would sell fairly quickly to someone on Ebay wanting to take the work on.

What response have you received throughout the on-sale period?
It's just my opinion, but I think any potential buyer will be concerned about reliability. Adding a forced induction device like a turbo or super-charger to a standard NA engine is going to raise questions about the reliability of the clutch and gearbox, for starters. I think you would need to add some reassurances/history about the work done on the car to instil some buyer confidence.
From what I've noticed, the blue and red Vee's are the most sought after colours, which is good from your your point of view.

I'd say photos are poor because of bad location, other car and bloke in background create the wrong impression compared to most private V6 clio adverts that use scenic 'much loved' pictures
Even fresh photos will help
Take closer pics that show the full car but also the condition of the paint can be seen
Looks like it needs a good polish, tyre gel etc
Sentences like car has done xxx miles engine has done xxx miles put alot of people off straight away
Avoid too much info about power etc, a genuine buyer will ask the right questions if interested
Just be factual and give the all the big bill info about the car, cambelt, discs/pads, tyres etc etc all the expensive stuff
As other people say get the mesh sorted out and spend a couple of quid on centre caps
Just my opinion and initial impressions, hope its of use
