@EthanMenace sorted out two issues with the Clio today. The first was the rear AeroCatch brackets. We bought the brackets for the boot lid years ago when we had electrical problems that stopped the rear boot lock from working. We did not bother to paint the brackets when they were installed...

The temperature gauge should sit between the second and third markers. It always looks as if the car is cool even when it is up to temperature, The Clio does not measure oil temperature in a way that you can read it from a dongle. If you want to know what temperature the oil is you will need to...

In the UK that spoiler was known as a GT spoiler. This is a screen shot of a Renault Sport brochure from the UK.

Welcome. If you have got a key card and not a key that you put in to an initiation barrel and turn to start the car you are very likely to have a full fat car that is cup packed. You have got a GT spoiler. If you want to change it you will need to replace your boot lid. If you take off your...

The shark fin aerial has been removed from the Clio. As we have no radio there was no point having a fancy aerial on top of the car. We have taken inspiration from @R20BTG and installed a tap washer blank in the hole left on the roof. It looks okay from a few metres away but the area of...

The wrap looks really good.

Video time. Here are our hot laps from Donington on 16th March 2026. Ethan's 1m 25s lap. My 1m 30s lap.

That is a screenshot of when the car had come to a stop pointing in the wrong direction. I had frantically attempted to save the spin so my hands were all over the place by then.

The raised yellow kerb that looks like a large gold bar was still on the right hand side. I know because @EthanMenace decided to drive over it.

Here are five of the best photos from Donington. Rob Baxter was taking photos on Monday - he knows how to take a good car photo. There were over a hundred photos of our Clio. Shots like this with multiple Clios in a train were easy to capture with so many Clios on track. This was a rare...

We went to Donington Park yesterday for the unofficial Renault Sport track day on 16.03.2026. It was a Javelin day track on the National circuit layout. The car had finished two days at Zandvoort relatively unscathed. An AeroCatch bolt was replaced to secure a bonnet pin in place that we had...

I am used to the looks now.

Here are our "Hot Laps' from the Zandvoort trip. The laps on the second dry day were considerably faster than the first wet day. Ethan's 2m 05s. My 2m 10s.

Those brake pins are excellent. Have been using them for a few years now.

Here are some of the photos from the second day at Znadvoort.
