    It's going into get machine polished soon getting the swirls removed. I'm going to be cycling to work so hopefully it won't see much of the badly weathered roads.

    3rd, 4th Syncro's..

    Well the Clio is in getting the repair done. Popped in today, no front end on the car! Got a Citreon C3 as a courtesy car at the minute. Didn't realise how quick the clio was until I stepped into this thing. I like the panoramic roof idea mind!
