Evening guys.
So i picked up my beautiful clio 197 on saturday afternoon after some searching.
It was nicely waxed and polished for me when I collected it so the first thing I did was take it along some country lanes and get to grips with the performance this little rocket has to offer.
I owned a mk 2 facelift focus st previously which was relatively quick. But this thing, a different animal all together. It puts such a smile on my face and it really has to be 'driven' to get the most of it - none of this plant your foot and let the turbo so the work.
I fitted some team heko wind deflectors on sunday morning along with a glossy black badge cover for the front (the rear should be arriving in the post soon). I also replaced the rear window seals as the ones on it when I picked it up had perished.
I am pretty certain it isn't the standard exhaust but without getting it on a ramp and having a look underneath I couldn't be certain. It makes a stunning sound under load and a cheeky burble at lower speeds
No major mods planned but I shall be changing the standard air filter to a pipercross panel filter and possibly fitting a parrot bluetooth kit - although reading into this it could be quite tricky as I have the cabasse head unit :-/
Any mod recommendation or help with the stereo/head unit would be much appreciated - I basically want the ability to stream music from my phone preferably by bluetooth.
