UR Clio 200: Clubsport Project.

Wow Christopher, this car is lovely! I agree with Syer I love UR on a 200, it suits the shape perfectly.
Yours sits so nice mate, also those pics are so nice!

Great plans also, this will be so good once you get all those bits sorted, i'm also interested in the rear split you do mate, keep it up :smile:

Thanks. I'm doing some work on it this weekend so I'll transfer this thread to a project thread then.

A small update.

A few weekends ago I decided to clear my scuttle drains, since they'd never been cleared before and they car's now five years old. It proved to be a good decision! The offside drain was completely blocked and had a few inches of pooled water at the top of the turret. Everything was cleaned, cleared and sealed. Much better. I worked on it whilst my mate with a 172 Cup sorted his exhaust and a few other bits on his project.

This weekend I've removed both Sportsters ready for the buyer to collect this coming weekend. They were also shampooed, brushed and sealed with a hydrophobic coating.

The removal went perfectly... up until I rounded off the FINAL BLOODY TORX BOLT and then had to drive over an hour away to my mate's house to borrow his impact. Fortunately it came right off with an impact and an oversized T45 which I hammered on. Phew.

Then steering wheel, gaiter and gearknob were also all removed in readiness for my shipment from Royal :sunglasses:

I'll just use the daily until everything's fitted now... that 1.2 8v life! :tearsofjoy:

So excited to get the new parts fitted.

A bit more progress last night... little and often! Bigger updates coming once all my new parts arrive.

Arrived home from work to see the results of the weekend's detailing session. The car wasn't corrected because the paint is generally in great condition, it was more about depth and additional protection.

Crappy iPhone photo but hey.

Washed with Zaino Z2
Decon using Tardis in the worst places (lower doors, bootlid, rear bumper)
Clayed with Sonus Mild w/ 50% soap mix
HydrO2 applied to lower panels, wheels, diffuser and heavy fouling areas
Towel dried with Water Magnet x2
Glazed with Prima Amigo x2
Waxed with Soft99 Mirror wax (AMAZING stuff)
Final wipedown with Zaino Z8 x2
Prima Wheel Armour used on all wheels
AutoFinesse Satin used to dress all tyres and buffed off to a matte finish

The interior was tackled on day two when I removed the seats, shampooed them and sealed the fabric.

Sportsters sat ready for collection on Sunday by the new owner.

Also fitted my newly retrimmed pillar covers! Looking good! ...shameless free plug for AutoFinesse, too.

FFS. Seriously. Done it again.

Can a mod please rename this thread so I can tell the difference?

Call this one "My UR 200" or something. Thanks!
