Liquid Yellow Clio R27 (197 F1)

[chapperzuk]

I've always been a Renault Clio owner. When I passed my driving test 6 years ago, my first car was a red Renault Clio 1.2 litre. After a few years I upgraded to a Silver 1.4 litre. When the insurance became affordable, I upgraded to an Arctic Blue 2.0 litre 182. Having owned the 182 for 2 years, I decided it was time for an upgrade to a newer shaped Clio. I've recently sold my 182 and bought this 197 F1 (R27) in Liquid Yellow.

I've only had it for a few weeks, but I absolutely love it so far. It's great to drive, comfortable and fun. It's a bit thirsty on fuel compared to the 182, but I was expecting it to be and it's more than worth it. It's number 254/500. The previous owners have looked after it really well and had fitted a Milltek cat back exhaust system, Renault Sport front splitter and LED lights inside and out.

There's a few small items on my eBay watch list at the moment...

- 6000k HID bulbs
- H&R lowering springs
- Wind deflectors (already ordered)
- Phillips head unit
- Smaller aerial
- Cleaning products

I will be updating this thread through my ownership of the car.

Anyway, here she is...

What are the H&R springs like in terms of ride? Does anyone have any pictures of their 197 lowered on them that they could PM me? Thanks

Thanks mate, the previous owners have kept it really well. The only bad thing is a rip on the drivers side edge of the recaro as you get in.

So today I received my wind deflectors in the post. Took me 10 minutes to fit them both and it seemed to go really easy. I will find out if they're secure on my next drive with the windows down I suppose. Really happy with how they look though.

There's a few iPhone photos below...

I've been ordering a few bits and bobs online this week...

New, shorter aerial...




ITG Panel Filter...




New numberplate bulb holders and LED bulbs...






I'm going to be looking at ordering some new plates soon. Possibly pressed metal plates or just plain normal plates without any border or text on them. Thanks to Adam at Renault Wolverhampton for a good price on the numberplate bulb holders.

Thanks mate. Good shout on the wind deflectors and aerial. Your R27 is looking great too! Have subscribed to your project thread, will keep a close eye on it.
