alright guys just a few pictures of the clio nothing to exciting.....

i picked this car up the tail end of last year after wanting a clio badly and it had to be a 182 and its by far the oldest car i have owned anyway here is a link to the thread when i picked it up http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?664571-the-new-bean-and-i-love-it

ownership has not been plain sailing its had a few quid spent on it all really wear and tear stuff and the belts changed at over 546 sheets and its still got a long way to go

the last month its had around 300 spent on it to get it through the mot if ever a car could split a healthy ralationship up ive got it....her words are that car just hemorrhages money

so over all in my ownership ive done to it is replace diamonds/bullets..cambelt/aux belt..two abs rings on front..new shocks..remove tints..fix non working radio..replace parcel shelf..new brake pads..new tyres..and more silly stuff

here is a few pics as how it looks today

tre/balljoints
cts/thermostat/coolant change
coilpack/leads/spark plugs
filter change/service
alloy refurb

[Ghm]

Looking VERY good Scott, particularly like the 2nd image - that colour compliments the lines of Clio so well! Top Job.

What colour did you get the alloys refurbed? They look a little darker.

 

[Sam]

Looks stunning mate. Love inferno!

Needs a splitter though.

 

[scotty10]

Cheers boys. I'm a bit worried that a splitter won't sit even because the previous owner lost the last one on a kerb and dented the underside.

 

[VIICarCare]

looks bloody amazing!

 

[Stefan.]

Looks bloody lovely!!

I agree needs a splitter and the rear number plate moving up a tadge :approve:
