So my trusty, practical Blobeye WRX wagon died a couple of months ago and I thought what better car to replace it with than a 3 door Clio. My mate (who is probably on this forum) took me for a ride in his LY R27 a while ago, and railed it round some corners - I just thought it was a mental little car.
I travelled down to south Wales to pick up this black 200 cup pack. Had a little test drive and loved how firm it was. Definitely not as powerful as my Impreza was and has completely different power delivery - but it's so much more fun.
Since I mostly cycle to work and about, this is my fun/weekend/errand running car. Drove it through Snowdonia this weekend to a wedding on the west coast and it was perfect.

It has a few issues though, mostly cosmetic though. Already got it booked in for the paintwork for a decent price. If anyone knows of a decent place in Leicester/South Leicestershire to get my wheels refurbished without breaking the bank, please let me know!
Things I'd like to do:

Things I'd like to do:
- Clean the grey/white part of cloth seats as they're filthy
- Fix paintwork on rear passenger side bumper
- Fix paintwork where clearcoat is peeling on tow hook cover
- Paint fading silver door handles in black
- Get all wheels refurbished as they're not in great condition
- DAB radio - need some radio 6 in the car.
- Brakes aren't as sharp as I thought they were supposed to be
- Get rid of front parking sensor as it looks ugly as hell.
- New plate - would never consider one before, but can't have OAP!
- Roof rack - only to be used for MTB
- Dephaser - wasn't done with cambelt, not sure how important it is to get done?
- Cat back exhaust - nothing will replace that boxer noise though.
- Recaros!
