HI ALL! - 197 Albi Blue

[racer2011]

Hi all,

I bought my Clio 197 about 2 months ago, see the pics below; 25k on a '56 plate (I have changed my plate as you can see ). Im absolutely loving it so far! I am hoping to:

- Get new Stereo (getting http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/2...0BT/index.html)
- Spray trim above glove box/next to steering wheel (white, gloss black, or anthracite?) and wrap the centre console as it has a big scratch on it (I have 3M carbon wrap)
- Get new rear number plate LED lights (http://www.twingo133.net/post36625.html#p36625 possibly)
- Get new Panel filter (any particular advice or is KTR one ok? http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2667)
- Get new tyres (any ideas on best ones to get/pricing, currently have conti sports 3's)
- Tax for Year (August - £235 odd )
- THEN...
- Get new exhaust - KTR Pro or Milltek?
- Spray alloys Anthracite or get some R26 18" alloys
- New steering wheel/get retrimmed (right hand side has melted ...)
- Remap
- Get a Ktec Sprint spoiler (or that style).

Any advice welcome on the above, I know Im a bit slow not to have done any of that yet, but been very busy!

I havent had any real problems with it so far, not getting great miles per gallon though, only averaging about 24mpg But then I do no motorway driving; all around town and down country lanes, and my foot has a tendancy to get stuck to the floor BUT as they say, its SMILES PER GALLON and not miles per gallon

My only problem, which I hope someone may help me with, is with my Aircon. I have the climate control w/screen, but it doesnt put out cold air at all. When I bought it and tested it, it was the same, so the dealer said he would get it topped up. However, he couldnt find a problem and until the hot weather recently I didnt really see the severity of the same problem - Its colder if I have the window down! Are there any known problems with the Aircons or anything I can look for or a possible leaking pipe? *UPDATE* Aircon now fixed

I live in the South East in Dartford by the way!

Hi Josh,

Great looking 197 mate. I am saving up for exactly the same. Just out of interest did you get your clio from a garage called edgintons of inkford based in Birmingham. If you did, I will am really really jealous as I had my eye on that for ages just couldn't come up with the funds quick enough. That was a 56 plate with 25/26k on the clock and in mint condition?

On the whole great car, best colour and pleased you are happy with it bud!!

Cheers,

Chris

Hi Chris, thanks! No I got mine locally to me in tonbridge. I did go and look at an albi blue r27/F1 in winchester which was quite a way from me, but ended up getting this one. I am really pleased so far, and got a few bits and pieces to do to make her perfect
