Passed you outside UWE mate, you were queued up on the other side of the road. I wish there weren't any barriers there though as i'd have liked to have seen your wrapped front end :rasp:
So, my 197 is being sold. I've had someone put a deposit on it and they are coming to collect it next week. For its replacement, I thought i'd go for something that cruises a bit better and has a bit more luxury to it, so I got this 123d.
Just spent all day washing, claying, polishing and...
Hi guys,
Every now and then (every other day now as its been getting more often) my car seems to be really down on power, and won't pull very much at all, and also when the engine gets to higher revs (4.5k+) it starts to sound a bit rough.
When this happens I stop the car, turn the engine off...
Got bored so I thought i'd go and take some pics with my camera as I haven't done in a while. Annoyingly though, my brother used my camera and changed it to not take RAW photos and I didn't notice until I got home :( So there's only a few pics that I'm relatively happy with.
Bought myself some...
Got a new reg for my 21st earlier in the week, and finally got the docs back from DVLA so I could put it on :D
Incase you're wondering what it stands for...

I know it's silly just doing trims and not getting a whole exhaust system, but I can't be bothered with doing that right now, but anyway...
I wanted to get rid of the genuine Renault pea shooters so I bought some cheap-ass dodgy chrome tips off ebay, and tbh i'm happy with them.
Before (Old...

I have moaned at him already for the spelling mistakes ;)
There was an amazing turnout of 3 people at the Krispy Kreme meet on Monday! (Myself, Will. and CountryBumpkin). I forgot my tripod so didn't get many good photos. Thought I might as well put this one up in here though...

Picked it up at ClioSport Saturday yesterday and got around to fitting it today. Makes the car look so much better imo! :D
Sorry for the rubbish pics, only quick ones from my iPhone.

I know i'm being a bit of a sheep by doing this, but I really like it and thought about adding it to my 197.
In my defence I do think I'm the first person to do it to a 197 :rasp:
It's only done with waterproof carpet tape at the moment (cost me less than £1 for the whole thing) so I...
Was a good evening out! Even though we were 2 people down after a blowout, and we did go into a dodgy cafe for some food, it was still good fun.
You asked me for a B&W picture, so here it is :rasp:
We did sneak Rich...
Not a huge change, basically gone from silver to anthracite :-p
Picked these up from GlassJaw yesterday and i'm so happy with them :D
Feels so much nicer to drive with the contis on aswell, so much smoother and a lot less noise from the tyres.

After realising they were solid and wouldn't budge I bought myself a new set to replace them...
1 of the pins came out intact and reasonably straight, the other 3 however.. well the picture speaks for itself
Here's the pins after they were removed
People say that if you keep hitting...
My 197 was a litle bit dirty, so I thought i'd do a proper job of getting some pictures :)
Sorry for the big pics.
Before:
(Yes it is actually dirty :rasp:)
After:
I then thought I should go on a little drive down the road to get a couple of half decent pics.
Saw 2 RB 182 Cups following eachother in bristol, both very clean :D
The one behind had a CS sticker just below the centre brake light
Both looked awesome
Hi guys, seeing as todays had pretty good weather Ive been out cleaning it.
Also thought it would be about time to take some pictures and post them up too, seeing as ive just put my cliosport.net stickers on (Thanks Brian!)
Not the best pictures in the world but it was rather chilly out and my...
Before you assume things, no I haven't written it off, i've px'd it in for a 197 :cool:
Right, where to begin.
Just before I passed my test in December 2007, I was looking for a Clio as my first car (always wanted one, never really knew why). Anyway, this one came up on eBay as an auction, not...
