Whichever has fuel
All mk1's smell the same inside. Even my track car (Which has nothing inside it!) still smells like a mk1.
I think it might be the smell of inevitable mechanical failure.
Luke, please don't buy turbines. I've been thinking about it all day and they won't work on that colour, or the fact its not a phase 1.
Silver williams wheels however could look proper Bo'!

Tidy valver.
Saw this at CSS and thought it was mint. Glad to see that you've bought it mate as I'm sure Daniel would be pleased that someone will be lavishing a lot of time and love on it as you did on the Trophy.
Having see the car in the flesh it could pass a concours test. The thing is immaculate. I know f**k all about Mk1 Clios though! Literally zilch! What's the background on the Naples?
Glad you're enjoying it mate. It'll be a head turner for people in the know.

Haven't managed to get on CS all weekend really, so I can feel a multi-quote madness moment coming up...
Cheers for all the comments all, appreciate it. It really is a fantastic little car. It does have it's French, erm, tendencies - shall we say - but overall I love it.
LOL at the difference in opinions of the wheels/choice of wheels - you lot really don't help. Silver willy wheels would look awesome though, how often do Williams wheels come up for sale?
Thanks for the offer Oli! May need to take you up on that in future mate.
It's stripped currently mate, but haven't put anything up for sale officially yet. The recaros, exhaust and a door have gone though.
No rust here! Will get around to undersealing it soon to keep it that way too!
To be fair, it doesn't actually feel massively slower. The engine has a lot of character and loves to rev, so unless something goes drastically wrong, I'll more than likely keep it! Unless a cheap f7r comes up for sale, that is...
Cheers Sam. It is indeed mate.
LOL! Wasn't my intention mate, I assure you. Cheers though mate. I completely agree that the wheels are marmite. I really like them though, despite losing a bloody centrecap!
Absolutely fine thanks mate! I didn't have any particularly decent polish, so just used SRP and Amigo to finish. Came up a treat! Thanks again to you and Lesley for that, I'll drop it back to you at the next meet.
Phat sounds about right. I'm more of a sick or reem man myself though.
Cheers though. Unfortunately, it's now my daily! So it will be getting used I'm afraid. Not that I mind, I love driving the thing!
Of course I do! I'll get some better pics soon at a non-generic Luke location (and when I find a new centre cap), but I didn't want to drive it and get it dirty
Cheers for the tip mate, I'll bear it in mind!
Suck my balls x
Cheers dude. I like the idea of that in my head, but think that it'd look too aftermarket for me.
It smells exactly like mine and my mate's first mk1's! They all have that same old sweet smell, lol.
It's not mate, funny you should ask really. It's actually a pretty well known car in the mk1 world, and at one point had a throttle-bodied-fire-breathing monster of an engine, one of the fastest N/A mk1's in the country at the time iirc.
FLOL. That clutch thing happened again today. It's something to do with the actual pedal rather than mechanical though. Will attempt to look at and fix in the week.
Oiii leave it out. Don't act like you're not impressed with my progress. Lol.
I don't know about the naples thing mate. At a guess, someone at Renault took a trip to Italy, picked up a prosititute one night who was wearing a dark red dress. That night, Naples Red was born.
(The above may NOT be true. Who knows?)
It's funny you mention the head-turning thing really, for an 18 y/o clio it doesn't half get some [positive] attention. I had a pikey looking fella come up to me in a petrol station the other day and tell me that it was a 1.4 turbo. He wouldn't have it that it wasn't. He then asked me whether he could buy it. Odd fella.
It was indeed Mark
It's a lot less daunting than I thought it would be tbh! I still listen out for noises and panic when I hear something that I'm not expecting, but tbf I did that with the Trophy anyway! Lol!

thats lovely!! real shame to see your trophy like that though

Silver mint turbines would look great. Looks mint. How u finding the drop in power and torque from the trophy? Drop in a willy lump?

Hmmm, I've owned 5/6 mk1's. they have all rusted. This one has no rust. At all. If you'd care to take a bet with me, i'll bet you £1000.

In fact, your fact is factually incorrect. No rust of this one
Indeed Dan, 6 words short of the word count for 'War and Peace'. Damn.
this is what I mean, I am right, :rasp:
Ok lets see in a few years if its rust free! lol

It looks mint Luke, like really. How did the mrs react to it?
Get some willy wheels, in silver, maybe anthracite with a silver lip?
Apparently they come up on the mk1 forum enough, not on here a great deal, although I bet a wanted add could get you some...

Cheers Coops! I thought that the PH2 centre caps were darker from factory? Regardless, I think that once I've sourced a new set they'll be going silver.
Lol! Did you see it on FB when Bobby J asked her what sh ethough of it and she said it's 'old and smells of urine'?! She loves it reallly though, I think...
I'll be on the lookout for some Williams wheels then I guess to go silver. I'm not sure on anth, I'd just want it to look as OEM as possible.
You heard correct mate
I've been browsing c16v for the past week or so where I see that you and Coops are regulars, I'll make a newbie post there later!
