  Clio16V
hello, aint been on here in ages so thought id post up abit of my project its on the members only section of clio16valver.co.uk so its unfair to post the full project.

well my clio love started when i bought my bug eye as my first car and started the mods pretty much straight away

kept this for a year and jumped straight for a valver, really wanted a white one and was lucky enough to find one.
This is how it looked when i got it,

next thing i did was change the wheels to the ph2 valver wheels which came with the car and sold the mk2 clio wheels on.
ph2 were abit rough looking so decided to spray them black

good olde can refurb, wheels will be powdercoated over winter or might have to buy some after market wheels depending on whether the brakes i get will fit under.
a few months on and more was happening on the valver, didnt know id be making a thread so there might not be as many pictures, orderd my buckets and started the stripping of the clio.

theres been a few problems like splitting the fuel line, spitting out pads from rear brake caliper but apart from that its running good for now.
upgraded the discs to grooved and drilled with some red dot fast road pads and the difference is incredible, if you dont want to go silly with 4 pots then a decent set of pads is the way to go.
coming soon...

had a mate over yesterday to do the welding work, we got all the holes done, and the front right hand inner wing sorted, just the cage and the driver sill to do as it has a small area of rust.
few holes and rot repaired

Eventually got round to prepping inside for painting, grinded and sanded back all surface rust so it was shiney metal again.
Cleaned out the inside of shell, which took alot of doing due to the amount of dust and dirt there was inside.
First off Panel wiped everywhere inside to try remove most the dirt after this i dry scotched inside to bring up the dirt, hooverd up all the dust etc.
panel wiped again with cloth and it was ready for standox red oxide to be applied
