Managed to get a little bit of work done on the little Clio today. I managed to remove the last parts of the heater matrix (What a pain that was). Just a little picture to show you what it looks like now. Left the air con rad in until i can get it degassed properly lol.
I also managed to fit the fibre glass boot lid, its strange to see the car with panels on haha. I am hoping to get the aero catches fitted Tuesday night so they are ready for paint in a few weeks. Heres a pictures
And finally i managed to remove the glue where the old sound deadening was glued down. That took ages but a bit of elbow grease and some white sprit and its nice and clean. What do you think ?
I shall update with pictures when the aero catches are fitted Tuesday

Haha I don't blame you when we have been working on the car it's been freezing. My plan is to hide the wires give it a really clean look

Well the last update of 2015 is the car is now 100% ready to go for its roll cage I just need to wait for the 18th Jan when I deliver it to the roll cage company should get it back the start of Feb and then the fun begins to rebuild it. Hopefully I will be buying the seats mid Jan, bits will be painted while the cars away and many more pennies will be spent (just bought a straight through decat for it as well)
Just some pictures of what we have done this morning:

Just some small updates for you lot
The car was delivered to Rollcentre racing on the 18th for them to fit the roll cage hopefully I get the car back this week. I have had the fibre glass panels painted silver to match the car and some black bits painted on the bumpers. I treated myself to two new racing seats which should hopefully be here this week and as well a new helmet and a HANS device
Just some pictures for you
Really happy with the bumper looks really smart
This was the car at 6.30 Monday morning to be delivered

Good news everyone the car is back from the roll cage people super happy with it sorry the pictures are not great but just to give you an idea of what it looks like at the minute. Roll centre racing did a cracking job so pleased with it top company would recommend to anyone.
Tonight's job is to fit the roof scoop and then off to paint. I will put some pictures up once the scoop is on

Thought it was a CC one. How much did they charge you to fit it?
This has changed a bit since Bedford!!
Clio 220 PH2
I think I paid about £800 to have it fitted i thought it was a good price for the amount of work
Clio 220 PH2
Haha yeah it has gone a bit crazy but should be done for June so hopefully we can do another Bedford again and you can see the completed car
Sounds good to me. Let me know when you have a day in mind and Im sure we will be able to pop along. Our next day is at Rockingham on the 28th March.
Clio 220 PH2
Yes I shall indeed that's sounds good to me
Nice one have fun
have you done anything to your little Clio ?Nothing drastic really, swapped the steering wheel for a suede OMP dished one. We have a set of 15's now with track rubber. Other than than that Im giving it a full service this week, changing the aux belt and new discs and RC5+ pads up front.
Clio 220 PH2
It's sounding good mate I need to get a new steering wheel as the standard one is too big
The RC5 pads are amazing that's what I was using at Bedford they never faided all day
what discs are you going to go for ?
Clio 220 PH2
Just a little picture of the roof scoop the scariest thing we have done on the car making sure it's straight haha
Next job is to do the air con delete and full decat and then I can rebuild the front end and get the inside painted

That looks awesome!! I've got some Brembo HC discs for it.
Clio 220 PH2
Thank you very much took ages to fit
That's what I use and it's a great combo I would possibly look at changing the brake fluid to racing dot 4 that is some good stuff as well to help with the braking
The fluid is already sorted, we had it at Bedford last time but I've done a full change since then for some fresh stuff.
Clio 220 PH2
That's good I found that can make a big different
Have you got rid of your fog lights and inner arches to help air flow ?
Not yet, will look at some fog light ducts in the future though.
Clio 220 PH2
Yeah I mean it depends how you want it to look, to start with you could just run nothing and then buy them at a later date I got mine off eBay
Clio 220 PH2
Been very busy on the car, got the air con delete fitted and the full decat sorted, I have had the car and bits painted here's were we are at the moment
I have also had the hoses changed to silicone as well
