Rob's Deep Black 197

[Robert_197]

Well I’ve now owned my Clio 197 2007 for 7 weeks so its time to start my progress thread. My decision to look for a Clio all started with my 2001 BMW 525i with 158,000 miles on the clock slowly be coming less and less economical to repair. The Final straw was the ABS module developed an intermittent fault. After about 2 months of searching I found my Clio 197 2007 with 48,000 miles F/S/H even the original receipt of sale.

Jobs done so far:

The front rubber spoiler
Full service
H&R lowering springs
Goodyear Eagle F1's
Rear discs and pads
Both front swivel joints
Proper Renault Sport mats
Steering wheel insert
Milltek resonated cat back
Powerflex torque arm bush
Both window seals
A lot of cleaning

Some nice upgrades and mods so far Rob! And as Pav says, good to keep on top of the maintenance so early into ownership, it definitely pays dividends!

Great work Robert, loads of things done in a short time mate

Just a question, it looks like that purple part of the upper torque arm is on the wrong way round, just flip it round mate (so have the side that has the part number closer to the bulk head).

The list never gets shorter though does it !

If your a modder / tinkerer - stuff that's done just gets crossed off the top of the list and new stuff gets added to the bottom

What's your next plans anyway ?
