Hi everyone, first I'd like to introduce myself. My name's Paul and I'm 20 years old. My first car was a 1.6 mk4 golf, only paying £800 I pretty much ran it into the ground and wasn't worth doing anything to it.
I wanted a new car, something special. I wanted to be able to take it to the track and have it as a daily. Owning a golf I was looking at a Mk5 R32 but couldn't justify the running costs
I then saw a cliosport 197 in black, I really liked it. Seeing they where in my price range and a great track car and daily. I was set on one. But it had to be a F1, with recaro's and wasn't too fussed on the colour. I found one in Bristol in Nimbus Silver and had H&R Springs. The more I looked at it, the more the colour grew on me. I booked a test drive and I few days later I had a go in it. And yep. I bought it
First thing I did notice was that someone did a number on the interior trim.
I have no idea what had happened, but It neededto be fixed. Popped down to halfords, picked up some primer and a random grey I thought might look good. Sanded all the trim down, filler primer, primer, main coat and then clear.
Teaser for the finished products tomorrow
The front Grilles where also a sight for sore eyes. Off they came.
Update should be tomorrow Hopefully I can steal my brother's DLSR.
