    CLIO 197 CUP - Project TF

    Plan is to paint the interior fully in Glacier white to match the exterior of the car. Never painted an interior before but what’s worse that can happen!

    @Beany ended having to get the grinder out to get a direct shot at some of the brackets.

    Colin Chapman would be proud. Started removing brackets that are no longer required thanks to the interior strip. I think it will save around 3kg approximately. Whilst not the largest weight reduction the goal is to help offset some weight of the cafe that is going in. Tight Yorkshire nature...

    Weeler Motorsport Radiator Support vs Clio Cup Version

    Eye it is thicker gauge of material but I’d say it weighs less than my cut down standard I was running. I’ll weigh both at some point this week.
