Hi,
Looking for my first RenaultSport Clio. Been to see a few, my favourite is a 172 Cup. It's quite clean apart from some dodgy paint on the front wings, the sills and rear wings look to be pretty rust free and good service history (belts etc done and gearbox fixed). Only thing is that it was previously a track car and so has quick release bonnet catches fitted, the cloth interior is badly worn (seat bolsters etc) and the paint is about as good as you can expect for a 20year old car that's had some track abuse. I'm pretty sure I could replace the bonnet fairly easily but I don't have a clue about the interior - would it be incredibly hard to find a set of seats in decent condition? I suppose it depends if the cloth seats were exclusive to the 172 cup or the same as any old MK2 clio?
Any advice is appreciated.
