    Thanks. Seeing the good side already! The roads were very wet on the way home from work tonight and the car still sticks hard around roundabouts etc! My civic type R was sketchy as anything in the wet but the Clio loves it

    I’m defo leaning more towards keeping them yellow now but will have to strip the fronts as it looks like they’ve been painted with a yard broom haha! I’ve only got black brembo graphics to go on them or white ones if they were going black

    Yeah I know what you mean. They’re yellow at the mo which look good to be fair but they’ve been done to an appalling standard hence why I’m having them redone properly.

    Morning Sean. I’ve got some H&R springs coming today hopefully. Looking forward to having the handles etc black, looked in to the carbon bits as well but I wasn’t 100% on them! The paint shop are going to paint the side bullets and sand back over the writing so the Renault sport shows back...

    Thanks for the welcome guys. Benno your calipers look very nice like them a lot! CJ197 yes the colour really sold the car for me but personally I’m liking the full range of the 197/200’s colours they’re such nice looking cats and glad I put the time and money in to get mine back on the road...

    Thanks beany I really like it so far apart from the gearbox issue but now that’s been replaced it’s brilliant. I’ll get some more pics after the weekend once the calipers have been refurbished and the other bits have been gloss blacked. Thinking of going black on the calipers with white brembo...

    Thanks Pav. Yeah it’s really tidy and clearly been looked after! Got a small amount of wear on drivers seat but other than that it’s pretty much spotless for a 12 year old car.

    Evening all. 3 weeks ago I purchased my 06 197 with more service history than I’ve ever seen! Its had a remap, full miltek exhaust system with decat, polybushed, braided hoses, ITG panel filter etc etc. It’s been religiously serviced at 6-8k intervals with k-tec racing which really helped me...

    Evening all, I’m new to the site and just purchased my 06 197. Gearbox went bang on the second day (completely trashed) so just fitted a recon unit and LUK 3 piece clutch kit. Car has had a fair bit of work done all by K-tec racing inc remap, full miltek system, ITG panel filter etc. I’ve had...
