Winner - POTM November 2018
So I said I wasn't going to do a project thread as I was happy with the car as it was (as i'm sure you've nearly all said in the past). But I couldn't help myself so here's a write up of where I'm at.
10 years ago I had my first Renaultsport Clio. It was an Iceberg 172 and was leaps and bounds ahead of the Saxo VTS I had before
I then had an Impreza and even a Panda 100HP (don't knock it until you've tried it)
So, On the estate where I work there is a car sales place that specialise in low mile/low owner cars and he had a White 200 with Recaros. It had one owner who always garaged it and it'd only done 60k. Shortly after seeing it money was exchanged and I picked it up.

The seats and steering wheel look brand new

I purchased some fitted seat covers from UK custom covers and they fit pretty well

Some Heko wind deflectors also went on.
I also purchased some Osram Diadem indicator bulbs to clean up the front and rear lights. Most people fit silvervisions but I wanted something a little different.
And that was all I thought I was going to do...................
After joining here and reading other peoples project threads I got sucked in and couldn't help myself.
I first had a go at Plastidipping the wheels but didn't like it so I peeled it off

Some H&R springs then went on to complement the Cup shocks

I got some Laguna wheels from another member on here and had them powdered white. I just now need some decent rubber to wrap them in.

I have also just changed the front number plate. I thought I was ordering a 3/4 plate only in height and not length but it looks ok I think??

and that's how it stands now.
Next is to get the Powerflex engine mounts, tyres for the white rims and keep my eye out for an exhaust.
Then who knows????????
Thanks for reading
