Yeah, fair point might as well get the skirts off and clean up what may have gathered over the years.

First proper job to get sorted was the O/S ABS sensor. - just before coming off the road for a bit of love, there was a horrible scratchy noise coming from the rear. Having stripped both sides i found no obvious reason for the noise until i got down to the rings. Now replaced i hope the noise...

So here is the majority of the faulty exterior. The rear quarter, where it meets the bumper was flaking over winter and the inevitable jet wash finished the job... This is my main concern with the exterior as moisture is clearly under the skin and will spread if not captured soon...

Also chaps, don't run your Clio as a daily without your arch liners! (mine did snap) Gutted i found this but with the new bumper inbound i was replacing the fogs with some ducting... No harm no foul!

So, this is how the car currently sits! looking and i am sure felling extremely sorry for itself!. The car is now over 80k miles and the front bumper as you can imagine is looking rather 'worse for wear'. - This will be getting re-sprayed in the near future with some goodies applied!. However...

Well, i suppose i best update this thread! Reason for the lack of content was a huge house move... i managed to find a house that needed more maintenance than the clio! This being said i have some what neglected the car over the years or so and pretty much used it as a van.... a bloody good...

Cracking read, lovely work mate. When it came to fitting the the brake lines on the rear beam. Did you have issues with getting them spring clips to sit right? - i can't get mine taught, yeah sit really loose. thanks. Tom

Cars looking great mate. Am i right in saying i drove past you the other morning on Squiresgate lane?

I don't know whether to feel motivated or just to put my Clio up for sale! :astonished: Fantastic work, would love to see this in the flesh sometime in the future.

dude that linkage looks awesome! - why can't i find one for the Clio 3 RS on MS!! :(

car looks ace on the 200 wheels mate! had any moments in the rain with the new tyres yet? - Going to be a new car with that box back in!

Small update on the car. I never uploaded a picture of the wheels once they came back from the shop. pretty happy with them. they look 100x better now the surface rust and flake has been fixed. Annoyingly a light went pop and that soon transitioned into a front end strip down! -.-. i...

Ah I see, yeah it's an annoying one as sometimes I feel like the engine movement is exadurated but I think it's just my mind playing tricks on me. Either way I will be buying some yellow inserts. But as you say with your previous struggles I will defo check the mounts before I apply the...

Noted! - thanks for the quick reply. ill study the mounts once they have been removed :)

Hello everyone, i know similar questions get asked on here but i need a straight answer. i am going to buy a full set of yellow poly bushes for the engine/box mounts. is it wise to replace the actual mount supports or just go ahead and insert the poly bushes within them? - my only concern is i...

Tell me about it! - ah well, peace of mind for the parts which have been changed atleast. Glad I got to change the brakes in summer, this winter is going to be a tough one for swapping parts [emoji24] Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk

Also, had a health check around the cars braking system. All wheels off, put it onto stands and crack on with some work! First thing is that the wheels are SUCH an eyesore that i could not ignore/try and make them look presentable. All of the wheels were in this kind of condition and it was...

Man, so annoyed that this is on my car haha! Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk

love the thread mate (Y)... had some ups and downs with this one! i look forward to see you MOD the current set-up. always looking for another reason to Meg the clio haha

Whilst we are on the subject of exhausts, another reason why i will be replacing the full system is because of the work i have found on the flexi's... as we all know these are very common issues. when i purchased the car i noticed it was blowing and quickly diagnosed it to be the flexi's. i took...
