I’ve owned the 197 for over a year now best thing getting this little car was well worth it. Just wanted too share some photos of the car over the year of having it done a fair bit of work engine wise and exhaust. Currently having its brake callipers refurbed powdered coated and all braided lines put on discs and pads too:french: many more modifications too come and years maybe even a megane r250 too be parked in the garage next too it if the missus will let me:laughing:

I’ve had the clio back for a couple days now from aw motorworks it’s had a rough clean up need too get a full detail on it when I get some time Alex and his team at Aw motroworks are brilliant can’t recommend them enough in Essex way, just had sump gasket, rear main seal, service, clutch kit gearbox rebuild, lower dog bone mount powerflex all done for a very good price. I’m hoping too get coilovers soon I’m going too go with GAZ golds and then get Alex at aw motorworks too install along with a refresh of all the steering components too and fresh bushes all round powerflex. But the clios nice and dry in the garage it’s seen so much rain the last month from mot and being at mechanics lol and the underside was clean just general wear and tear and now it’s filthy with mud and salt grime. 663A0891-A8F1-4C17-BDCA-51597CDCBC13.jpegBB358E4B-D988-45A3-91D1-16CA522563EA.jpeg9A76AD8B-26A6-4CC6-8B18-D3C29F7004AA.png
