If you have disconnected the battery for a long time then you have reseted the fuel trims.

Update time:
Been a bit quiet recently, due to me starting up a small part time business in detailing. But finally last I week I got around to detailing my own car. Only took a few photos, But here we go:
Foamed using Gtecniqs W4 citrus foam.
Smaller areas agitated
More foam
The rupes big foot system I'm using, combined with rupes fine compound and meguiars microfibre cutting pad.
Before and after comparison.
My new part time venture. [emoji4]
Some of my work so far.
Future plans for the 200:
ITG intake(fitted just need to take photos)
Carbon diamonds and exhaust tips.
Supersprint exhaust (on order)
Corbeau pro race bucket seat.

Fitted my ITG intake. Sounds very nice, not to loud but gives a nice roar. Very noticeable difference in pick up low down the revs. Overall happy with this mod. Mpg isn't affected either which has shocked me. May upload a video of the noise.
In other news, I had the rear strut brace re painted in racing blue. Fitting this now, I'll upload a photo shortly. [emoji4]

Update time: supersprint Exhaust fitted.
So in past month I've been busy:
-Supersprint race backbox
-Supersprint resonated centre section
-Supersprint decat pipe
-Carbon fibre front badge
-Carbon fibre rear badge
-Carbon fibre tail pipes
-Rear strut brace fitted.
The resulting noise is deep and purposeful, video doesn't do it justice. No flat spot either.
The Carbon bits, I'll admit I'm not 100% sure I like these. I did at first but now I'm starting to go off them. [emoji26]
Boot brace, excuse the Costco cups.

Update time.
So I've been quiet recently, but I've also been busy. The following parts have been fitted.
-Sabelt Renault sport cup racer steering wheel.
-Sparco steering wheel buttons.
-Bilstein B14 coilovers
Oz Ultraleggra wheels
-4x new YOKO AD08R tyres
-TIP wheel nuts (thanks to Woppy)
Then the car had its fast road set up.
The Sparco buttons fitted to the horn. Not NOS unfortunately. [emoji6]
1.6 degrees of camber dialled in.

Hi mate, it's been a while since we last spoke, look at picture 8, I have the TPI wheel nuts. They where not fitted when the other pics where taken.
The bilsteins are fantastic mate! They are damn stuff like the h&r springs but you don't have that uncontrollable crashyness. They are really compliant at high speeds too. The front feels so planted, the rear follows nicely! The fast road set up has finished things off too. It now tracks perfectly, with no steering issues, 1.6 degrees of camber dialled in too.
The wheels have made the world of difference, the approximately 20kg weight saving seems to make the car feel so much more alive, the steering is sharper and more direct. The car seems to accelerate a fair bit faster too, it feels a little like I've had the car remapped. [emoji23] so happy with my Clio now.

Yeah very true, have more plans to go make it lighter too. Lightweight Battery and bucket seats next. [emoji4]
I have the powerflex adjustable polybushes mate. I don't think you can achieve any more than 1.6 degree of camber with them so I might look into some adjustable top mounts soon.
By kit do you mean the coilovers? If so I got it from Kam racing. £100 cheaper than Ktecs price too [emoji15] bargain coilovers IMO especially considering how good the quality is.
