MarcB's LY Clio 197 F1 R27

Crazy transformation. The engine bay especially.

Not a fan of the 200 bits but it's your car. The rest though, it's stunning work. Well done.
 
So as a few people might be aware there has been a long on going issue with my tail gate and the rust that was under the wiper and window edge.

I spoke to Renault UK 7 months ago and it was only last weekend (30th Sept) that I managed to collect my car after months of messing about and the tailgate for a Mk3 going on back order from Renault France.

Well here is the outcome of a spanking new painted tailgate that is a stunning match for it being LY.

Now as everything was nice on the rear the FIA sticker was really letting it down so went and bought a genuine OE Renault one from the dealers and got that fixed and stuck on.

This is insane, fair play Marc. That LY paint matching is top notch, especially for such a well documented hard to match colour! I really need to get cracking on mine...feel like I'm letting the team down!

***AMAZING suspension / joints / mounts / brakes list going on there though Marc.

Don't know about as good as new. Every chance of BETTER than new i'd say.

When's it all going on ?

Another thumbs up to SWR they helped me out with my 182 recently. These guys genuinely what to help you.
 
Another Small Update On The Car.

I found the holy grail and a set of Clio 200 Cup clocks, got them fitted and sorted.

Only issue is that the 197 has C/C and Speedlimiter which the 200 Cup does not so it does not show on the dash but my garage are going to plug in the Can Clip and see if they can configure it to work. Either way I dont use C/C or Speed limiter so its no odds.
