A few months back I swapped from a 220 trophy into a 200 so I thought I would make a project/ update thread for Silverstone number 25.The history for this car was really impressive , massive amount of paperwork as well as a few choice mods such as the Akropovic exhaust. It ticked all the boxes I was looking for and to say I am. Happy is an understatement.

A few weeks after collecting popped out for a spin, started pushing on a little after the car warmed up and at 5000rpm a massive miss fire occurred. Limped home thinking what have I bought . Popped off the far left coil and the spark plug / cylinder head was full of water, carefully removed the water, 4 new plugs and coils and no more misfire and running as Renault intended again

Next up the MOT was due, car dropped off and then waited for the Call. To be honest I was fearful but a pass was granted with no advisories and the MOT garage commented on how clean and tidy the clio was.
As a present for behaving at MOT time I ordered some new mats from RPD, the old ones did not clip to the carpet as such and kept moving under the pedals. Excellent service by RPD as normal.
Next up was a Zero Point One gear shift extender in yellow and new gear gaitor to continue the current theme:
Future plans are not to extensive as a 2 young children rinse cash at an alarming rate, but over the next year the aim is for the following
Service including gear box oil change
Interior wet and vac
K-Tec induction kit
Steering wheel retrim
New front disc and pads
A couple more rubbish pics, probably that will be a theme through the thread.
