Finally getting my first clio tomorrow!!!! YAY!

Tis a mk 2 phase 2 in black (dont know which black)

Where is the colour code on clios?

 

[Hutchie]

if its not a sport, its pearl black more than likely

 

[Brian]

Normally a sticker on the door shut iirc.

 

[Tom Newham]

Ah right ok, I will have a look when I get it back home and give it a good old clean!

Not in perfect nick, but I think you pay a premium for a black one hmmm...

Will post pics as soon as it arrives on my drive tomorrow afternoon ish...

I just brought a new clio too
Black Phase 2 extreme, I collect it tomorrow

You got any plans?

 

[Tom Newham]

No, keep it standard for 12 months then think about the modifying route then...just clean the hell out of it, looks like someone has been cleaning it with a scouring pad!

Dont get into detailing itll ruin your life. Menz polishes work well on clio paint i find.

Jesus christ mate, well done, is that swirl removal by hand or with a polisher?

Robbos, it was done using a rotary polisher and some menzerna polishing compound

Thanks all for taking the time to have a read...

Good man Tom, what rotary are you using?

Have you done detailing before then, I take it?
