    The first thing I wanted to sort out was the divers seat, I felt like Short Round driving it where it was:laughing:. I was happy to see that the seats are bolted from inside the car and the wires are also easy to get to. In other words totally opposite to the 182! So with the seat out I had to...

    Yeah I was aware of the rad supports rusting, my mate broke a 197 and the support is reasonably solid so I'll have that and get it blasted and powder coated. The rear beam is slightly worse than my 182's and the last MOT had an advisory for light misting on the offside front shock. At least oe...

    That's more than enough that needs doing right? Spoiler needs painting, this has me thinking it may not have been factory fitted? The tail lights have been tint sprayed and its coming off. Unsure weather to sand and polish them or just buy new ones? The headlamps look like they may have had...

It was a hundred miles away and I had never driven a mk3 RS so I hit save and carried on browsing. In February a LY 200 came up for sale locally so I went for a look. The LY tax was...

    Not a newbie!

    After signing up 3 years ago I've finally bought a Clio 200:tearsofjoy:. I have a long back catalgue of French tins and have been a member of cliosport.net for a good few years now. So thats the new and the old :hearteyes:. The 200 is a bit of a project having not had an MOT for 3 years, so I'm...
