Love it mate, but you have to replace that exhaust for a stealth one. I can't see why people change them.
Any plans? Wet finish is epic btw.

Cheers buddy. Yea, i want a K-tec stealth system. But tbh the cambelt and de-phaser are the first port of call. Will have that done within the next couple of weeks.
Plans: As i said, K-Tec stealth system, Coilovers, refurb wheels... Perhap's some carbon and silicone.
I really don't want to go as far as i did with the Saxo. I loved the Saxo, but it was money down the drain. Plus the Clio's such a nice ride. I love how luxurious it is compared to the Saxo.
Truly a 10000x better car.

I don't get luxurious in the cup  and agreed cambelt is a good first port of call. What colour for the wheels? And theres a dude on CS that does Carbon diamonds, bullets, dash strips, gear insearts etc. Some of it looks mint.

Yea, i've seen his stuff for sale dude. I'll be having a word with him come new year i reckon.
I'm thinking silver for the wheels - just to keep it looking fairly standard. Thought about anthracite, but i'm not sure. It does look good, just not sure if i'd prefer it to look more standard.

Just tell him to look after it! Lol.
Also, whilst i think about it... Tell him he needs a mk1 oil filter whenever he does change the oil. Raceland manifold means he can't have a mk2 filter.
And cheers

Cracking looking car, I hope you'll change the front indicator bulbs to silver as I think it's the only thing that's ruined on the front of a clio (I also have one but not a sport sadly ) and it's the first thing I changed it. Maybe for the alloys perhaps go anthracite with the renault badge in red for something a bit different?
Just a thought but cracking car
