Im the 2nd owner as of October 2009
Owned my 206 from the age of 17 for two years!
Managed to get it looking ace imo, then ruined it with the anthracite wheels! The white ones were always the best!!
Caught the proper modding bug back at FCS08 and carried it on from there
Then it tranfsormed into this...
Then after putting the anthracite wheels on, i decided i wasnt that keen on the car, and the 1.4 engine wasnt exactly exciting, despite the great suspension!
Started putting my pennies away, put the car back to standard, sold it for £3950 and bought this for £6650. :
(Paste)
Finally got it! The car is amazing!
I drove from Birmingham to Sarf East Landan! Took the stupidly long route through the centre of London instead of going around the M25 like the bloke recommended, completely forgot that he gave me hinters!
Its a 2005 plate (Registered July 05)
Im the second owner
Racing Blue
36,000 Miles
Both Cup packs (Missing Front splitter)
Insurance was friendlier than i was quoted a month ago which i was happy about, especially being 19!
Have currently done 280 miles and am still on the first tank, have done some spirited driving as you would when you first get a car like this!!
Absolutely love it, now ill be able to stop bangin on about getting one!
Havent got any decent pics yet, but these are the ones he sent me on the day i picked it up. It looks better in the flesh, and will look better when i get some nice pics!
Better Pics will be up soon when ive given it a wash! Last edited by Dave on Sat Apr 17, 2010 5:24 pm; edited 5 times in total

Had my exhaust fitted by Fred at BTM Performance, then noticed the poor state of my brakes so had those ordered and fitted a couple of weeks later!
Will get some clean photos up soon
Cambelt and 36k service next!
Brembo Discs and Ferodo DS2500s.

Also are you getting the towing eye off Si from CS?
#4: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Sun Feb 07, 2010 4:10 pm ---- Plans from now
New wipers are sitting at home ready to be fitted.
Cambelt/Auxbelt/36k Service this month
Engine bay to be colour coded/tarted up
Suspension likely to get changed in the next few months
Possible change of alloys to something slightly lighter

#9: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Sun Feb 07, 2010 6:52 pm ---- Lol The car had stripes on it just before it was bought, i asked for them to be removed before purchase Not a fan of them, i was just bored!
Jamie - Sort out the PoT thing for me please

#10: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Sun Feb 07, 2010 7:09 pm ---- Yeah will try and sort it out, they are pretty anal about who is allowed on, but I'll try!

#11: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Sun Feb 07, 2010 7:23 pm ---- I will earn and buy a ring sticker in 2010, although i have a feeling it may be August time when i have earnt some money over the summer!

Going to sort out everything else first!
Came across what appeared a fairly normal silver 182 the other day, had a chat and it appears it was superchargerd. F*******K me it was fast! 230bhp and 200 lbft of torque!! Wow!
#15: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Ruffy_206, Location: BristolPosted: Mon Feb 15, 2010 4:13 am ---- glad you didnt try it on with it now then lol. thats pretty rapid.
#16: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Mon Feb 15, 2010 4:20 am ---- I've always had a soft spot for clios Looks nice. Glad you took the stripes off. Look forward to seeing the progress
#17: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Austin, Location: TelfordPosted: Mon Feb 15, 2010 2:01 pm ---- Nice car, really like the colour, don't change the wheels though, they really suit it.
#18: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Mon Feb 15, 2010 2:16 pm ---- Looking good Dave but I do think you need the Gordini strips on it
#19: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Mon Feb 15, 2010 2:21 pm ---- Less stripes, more trumpets
#20: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Sat Feb 20, 2010 3:41 am ---- Engine Cover, Dash Strips, Steering Wheel Insert and Gear Knob insert have all been taken off and packaged up. They are getting sent to a body shop who will be spraying them racing blue.
Aaaaannd....
If all goes to plan, i should be picking up some Mitsubishi Evo 8 MR seats this week with Clio runners.
Heres a cheaky snap, just have to hope the sale goes through now!
#21: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Guy, Location: Solihull, BirminghamPosted: Sat Feb 20, 2010 1:26 pm ---- That niceeeee seat!!! I like it!
#22: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Wed Feb 24, 2010 4:23 am ---- Should be picking up the seats tomorrow midday
#23: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Ross, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Wed Feb 24, 2010 8:27 am ---- Those seats are epic, hope you get them
#24: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: carl123uk, Location: NuneatonPosted: Wed Feb 24, 2010 12:02 pm ---- those seats look mint. what are the standard ones like?
where are you getting all your stuff sprayed?
#25: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Thu Feb 25, 2010 12:45 pm ----
Collected and fitted today. MUCH harder to fit seats into a Clio than a 206, especially when changing the runners etc.
Look amazing in real life, will get some updated and clean photos of the car on the weekend

Member from Cliosport who works in a bodyshop is doing all the spraying, some of his work his really good.
Normal seats are in the photos on page 1 i think, nothing special, not very comfortable either.
#27: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Ross, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Thu Feb 25, 2010 12:49 pm ---- Awesome Dave TBH.... one reason I like the Trophy's is for the Recaro's, just makes the car that bit more special, a bit like GTI-180 seats do in the 206.
#28: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Thu Feb 25, 2010 12:52 pm ---- I prefer these to the trophy seats. More 'special' aswell. These are the trophy ones and they sell on average for around £850 which is silly imo. I paid £500 for mine.
#29: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Thu Feb 25, 2010 1:02 pm ---- Prefer the trophy seats, but not the price tag!
Looks awesome, you can come and be jealous at my new toys tomorow or saturday
#30: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Ross, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Thu Feb 25, 2010 1:34 pm ---- I'm surprised you can get hold of the Trophy seats, must be rare to come by?
#31: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Thu Feb 25, 2010 1:39 pm ---- Seen more for sale than i have 206 Gti 180 seats tbf! All at £850 + for good condition ones.
#32: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Ross, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Thu Feb 25, 2010 1:42 pm ---- I'm surprised as I thought the Trophy was a limited edition so there's not many about...
#33: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Sun Feb 28, 2010 6:54 am ---- Gave the 182 a thorough clean yesterday!
Washed using Dodo Juice Shampoo
Clayed (Desperately Needed)
Hand Polished with Vanilla Clearkote Hand Polish
Waxed with Collinite 476
Engine Bay had a little scrub down but didnt spend much effort there, will be when i have the new engine cover back from Nathj though!
Recaro's were from a member on CS selling up, he also fitted them for me very kindly!
It started raining before i had chance to do the roof, i had clayed, polished and waxed the rest of the car, but wanted to do the roof last. Ended up not doing it, but it will get done soon. This shows the beading after 2 minutes between the spoiler and roof! lol
#34: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: SAB206, Location: North WestPosted: Sat Mar 06, 2010 1:23 pm ---- Awesome car dave! good read too
Ever thought about debadging it?!
#35: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Sat Mar 06, 2010 1:24 pm ---- He can't because it will leave a pin sized hole where the Clio badge is
#36: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: SAB206, Location: North WestPosted: Sat Mar 06, 2010 1:35 pm ---- Fail, should have got a 206 tbh.

What i think i will eventually do, is debadge the Clio sign, leaving a hole, then debadge the Renaultsport sign.
Then buy the Clio 197 Renaultsport badge and put it on the Clio sign. Calum had done it to his, not thaaat many fans of the mod over on CS, but i think it looks great.

Saw a 206 Gti 180 in the Mailbox recently and did love it, Love the uniqueness of the colour of mine as you dont see many others on the Road Do love 206s, Think my old one was spot on with the white alloys! Shame it had a pea sized engine! Lol!
Sab - You coming to any shows in the summer?

#41: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Sat Mar 06, 2010 7:54 pm ---- Well i am a pillock, so they can suck out. Lol! Yeah, ill definately come to a meet some time! Wont be going the ring in April! Will have been by the end of 2010 though

#46: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Tue Mar 09, 2010 6:39 pm ---- Well why didn't you say so!
My car will be done mid August so I'm well keen for anything after that.
In fact I'm game to go out and live there. Should make an airline that operates between Adenau & Ibiza
#47: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Tue Mar 09, 2010 6:42 pm ---- Wow. Now that is an idea! Ive just got to get some work over the summer and ill be able to do it!

#48: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Tue Mar 09, 2010 6:44 pm ---- Wanna do a trackday soon?
I hear CS are doing Oulton park on 7th July
#49: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Tue Mar 09, 2010 6:51 pm ---- Im not sure which trackdays i want to go to yet. CS are going in April, they havent put much up about the one in July other than a date and a bit of sh*t chat.
The one in July is just before my holiday + during the world cup so wont be at that one. Oulton is one of the tracks i want to go to though!
Ill do a bit of research/look around when i get the chance to see which ones i fancy!
Let me know if there's any local PoT meets!
#50: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 8:10 pm ---- If you read this Jamie,
What do you think to some cheeky white turinis?
#51: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Ape, Location: Clipping the Apex!Posted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 8:12 pm ---- Do it!
#52: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 8:14 pm ---- Coilovers are the next proper mod going on after Easter.
Then will be the wheels Just weighing up options for now, and obviously if any good deals pop up, ill make sure i take advantage between now and then!
#53: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: SAB206, Location: North WestPosted: Sat Mar 27, 2010 7:08 pm ---- Gloss Black Turinis. Om nom nom! *drools*
#54: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Sat Mar 27, 2010 7:14 pm ---- Meh, not a fan!
New Renault Sport badge from the 197 is now on, and the other badges are gone.
Sprayed parts also fitted.
Pics will be soon.
Coilies next i think!
#55: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Sat Mar 27, 2010 7:16 pm ---- Not bad matey, don't mind the clios, but for some reason now hate driving sitting up, get cramps, so don't think I could sit on the highseat of a CS!
#56: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Sat Mar 27, 2010 7:24 pm ---- White Turinis win

Eh? They're different wheels made by different companies, they're both different designs .
Turini's are nice though, think white would look particularly good against Racing Blue Dave
#59: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Sun Mar 28, 2010 6:48 am ---- i think white rims would look mint on your car dave.

Yeah I know that. I am not stupid as I work with wheels daily. So why not get 1.2's? lol They look pretty much the same.
#61: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Sun Mar 28, 2010 3:42 pm ---- The Pro races look cheaper imo and im not as keen on the style of the spokes. They look good on some cars, but imo, dont suit the 182!
Suspension next anyway!
#62: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Sun Mar 28, 2010 3:53 pm ---- see thats what I wanted to know
what coilovers you gettin then?
#63: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Thu Apr 01, 2010 5:00 am ---- Finally got some new pics of the small updates. NathJ painted a few bits and bobs. He also did the gear knob insert but i decided i wasnt keen on that and have swapped it back for a standard one.
Decided to debadge the complete rear end, and replace the Clio badge with the pin holes, with the Renaultsport badge from the 197. I feel as if the old style 'Clio' badge gives the car a slightly more dated look. The steering wheel decal is on, ballsed up the airbag one though. Will get it sorted soon.
New Rear End.
Before
After
New Engine Bay Cover
Im aiming to sort the metals out next. Think they will either be polished, or sprayed a very light high power silver. This will be the next update on the way, most likely next week.

#65: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Thu Apr 01, 2010 5:05 am ---- Not really, it costs far too much to squeeze extra bhp out of the Clio engine. If i did, id be looking at ITBs, which i cant afford! Lol
Suspension will get sorted though.
We will have to organise a small 'Midland Old Boys' meet soon, Me, You, Jamie, Ross and those who have moved on from the 206 world. Cough not Jamie. Lol! Country lanes your way would be great!

#68: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Wed Apr 14, 2010 5:14 pm ---- Have decided to sell the Recaro's. They will be going on Saturday for the same price i paid. Theyre a bit annoying with the winding mechanism rather than the flip up/down mechanism in a normal hatch. Im also just not 100% on them, so i want to get rid and will spend a bit of the £500 on tarting the car up a bit more.
More updates coming in about a month.
#69: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Wed Apr 14, 2010 5:20 pm ---- Get some 197 seats in there? Or some trophy seats?
You best be spending all that £500 on the car, I just spent more than that on brakes
#70: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Wed Apr 14, 2010 5:22 pm ---- A bit will be going on my holiday, the rest on the car + other bits and bobs. Gambled my way out of my overdraft last weekend. Won £150 profit between Friday night and Sunday afternoon. Lost £10 of that on Arsenal today though.
Have bought a new gadget for the car aswell. Ill put a pic up in a sec.
#71: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Ross, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Wed Apr 14, 2010 5:23 pm ---- Suspension next then with your 500 quid?
#72: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Wed Apr 14, 2010 5:25 pm ----
Cost £28 with the memory card and all posted. Good quality, going to have a play over the weekend. Bit cheaper than those cr*p GoPro ones. Joking. Would love that, but my wallet loves this!
#73: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Wed Apr 14, 2010 5:26 pm ---- He needs triple that for some AST coilovers

Just think of it as investing in fun

#82: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Ross, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Thu Apr 15, 2010 1:35 pm ---- You've gotta be brave (or just loaded) to spend a four figure sum on some coilovers... I couldn't bring myself to pay £600+ for KW's. Surely you can get some top quality ones for the Clio for a lot less than a grand though? I guess it depends if you want adjustable damping etc though!
#83: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Sat Apr 17, 2010 5:26 pm ---- Well, the seats were sold today. Was never 100% on them, they were a bit too hard and i think my back was slightly too wide for them. That and i wanted the money.
Going to buy a splitter soon. Not sure wether to spend £100 on a carbon fibre one or a standard Skoda plastic one for £10 lol. The CF one looks sooooo nice, but ouch at the price difference (Most people snap theirs very often)

haha iv always loved them but the recarros in the interior swayed me to the 180 :-D................... asl nah most the pics never worked for me either however sorry Jamie still love it haha
#88: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Tue Jun 01, 2010 2:08 pm ---- The pics don't work because he's moved his PB around and he hasn't changed the links accordingly!
The heart was to Dave as he won't like that I called his precious little Clio a shed
#89: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Tue Jun 01, 2010 2:21 pm ---- can u just post a link to the album pls dave?
#90: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Tue Jun 01, 2010 2:21 pm ---- Lol, Yeah ill sort this thread out when i can be bothered.

Guest Password is 'Carless' i believe.
It now has a CF front badge, and a CF splitter. Have swapped the Recaro's for the standard seats for reasons earlier in the thread.
New pics will be up next week!
#92: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Tue Jun 01, 2010 2:44 pm ---- I paid some Albanians to clean it and they did a fantastic job I am pleased to report!
#93: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Thu Jun 17, 2010 8:35 am ---- Thought i'd freshen up the Calipers in using Silver Hammerite. More than happy with the finish
VERY annoyed that i could'not undo the rear passenger side locking bolt. Looks like i may have to take a trip to Fred and his boys next door as i don't want to make things worse. Im far from weak and that thing is not budging! So still need to do the rear passenger side caliper!
Cleaned the wheels while i was at it and gave them two layers of Poorboys wheel sealant
The drivers side front wheel had thick gunge in it (inside of alloy), kind of oily. Front Discs and Pads were changed over Christmas time by Fred and didn't notice it then, didn't really look though tbh. F*ck knows where it came from, but two cloths later and a bit of old sponge and it's all gone!
Old
New
#94: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Jon, Location: 666ft BelowPosted: Thu Jun 17, 2010 8:39 am ---- Nicely tidied up.
It's the small things that make it all come together
#95: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Thu Jun 17, 2010 8:42 am ---- Agree'd there!
Next will be coilovers, then some new wheels.
Possibly some Speedline 2118's.
#96: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Jon, Location: 666ft BelowPosted: Thu Jun 17, 2010 8:44 am ---- Sweet, will be sure to keep an eye out
#97: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Thu Jun 17, 2010 8:50 am ---- This is my splitter btw, Had it a couple of months now.
#98: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Thu Jun 17, 2010 8:53 am ---- Few pics of the car at the French Car Show 2010.
#99: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Thu Jun 17, 2010 9:58 am ---- Don't get 2118's, they do look good but they're expensive and too common!
Thought about some MO's?
#100: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Thu Jun 17, 2010 11:52 am ---- Pics of the ones your on about Jamie? Turini's are the most common, so im going to try and avoid them for definite.
Can get 2118's brand new w/o tyres for £500.
#101: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Timon2210, Location: PalestinePosted: Thu Jun 17, 2010 12:05 pm ---- why you didn't change the drums as well??
#102: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Ape, Location: Clipping the Apex!Posted: Thu Jun 17, 2010 12:43 pm ---- Did you sort the gunge problem? Could it have been cv juice?

The car doesn't have drums? Calipers front and rear and i painted them all. (Bar one due to the locking wheel nut not removing)

Have done some research and that's what i was told it would most likely be. Think i'm going to pop the wheel off tomorrow and have a look! If i can't find it, then ill pop it over to Fred@BTM. Should be able to sort it though! Think im going to go there to sort the rear wheel nut out anyway!
#104: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Ape, Location: Clipping the Apex!Posted: Thu Jun 17, 2010 2:17 pm ---- You can find out without removing the wheel bud, just get your hand in there behind the disc and have a feel of the cv boot
#105: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Thu Jun 17, 2010 2:29 pm ---- Ahh, Nice one.
How do i do it up though?
#106: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Ape, Location: Clipping the Apex!Posted: Thu Jun 17, 2010 2:31 pm ---- You don't, if you can feel the boots split by discovering grease, you get a new boot and then the wheel comes off to replace, along with a few other bits

#109: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Antix, Location: WorcesterPosted: Thu Jun 17, 2010 3:55 pm ---- Just been looking through my Renault Clio sales brochures [which I was planning to put on eBay].
I have a June 2005 brochure for the RenaultSport range, including Clio 182 & 182 Cup.
I also have a 5th July 2005 pricelist, including the 182, with Cup suspension pack option & Cup spoiler pack option.
If you're interested in purchasing the above items [seeing as yours was registered on 18th July 2005], PM me

Sorry about that,I said the wrong word,were thinking of something else while i wrote the comments,what I wanted to ask is why you didn't changed the disks for drilled or groved disks??,but the paint is very nice,i thought you had a new calipers
#111: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 1:51 pm ---- Didn't change to drilled or grooved as there was no need mate.
This is the tried, tested and favoured set up for the 182's!
Update!
Gave the 182 a simple detail today, bit of hand polishing, bit of waxing. Simples.
Mods
Yozza Exhaust System
CF Splitter
CF Front Badge
197 Renaultsport badge, removed Clio badge. (Not sure if it'l stay like this)

Anthracite 2118s maybe. Unless i change my mind!

Dave
#112: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Tue Jun 22, 2010 6:26 pm ---- CV joint sorted out.
Locking wheel nut problem sorted out.
Only cost £10 for everything as i had a little bit of waiting around to do. Was worth the wait!
#113: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Uz, Location: No Man's LandPosted: Mon Jul 05, 2010 3:25 pm ---- Motors looking nice...wish I'd swapped my XSi for a 172 when I had the chance
I came across these earlier and don't know if they'll interest you or not but SPEEDLINE 2118 would be ideal if you can get them cheap and refurb them how you want.
