Clio Progress
Since the bonnet of the saxo fliped up and went through the windscreen and crushed the roof in i sold all the parts off it and got enuff money to buy this clio, picked it up for next to nothing with 70k on the clocks. Completely standerd. Old Saxo was nice for a standerd 1.1 when i got it a few month ago first pics of it.

Rite no point Cryin about it will get another one soon

So the clio...

Alloys
Not great alloys but since its a only 1.4 and they were destroyed i gave them a quick refurb £15 and keeping the small alloys to keep the bottom end power.

Window Stickers
Had some left over from the saxo so i fired them on this, cost £2.

De-Wiper
Pretty much same as the saxo but had to drill the hole out bigger and used the gromit that is behind the wingmirror

Tint Lights
Bought some tint spray off ebay £8 and sprayed the rear lights and side repeaters, just pop the repeaters off and take the 1 thumb screw out of each back light, sprayed and then refitted

Spoiler
This was easy, bought it off ebay, £20 primerd then sprayed white, unbolt standerd plastic and bolt on the new spoiler
