Well I get the Clio this Saturday as my mate has put down a deposit on a new car and I've paid him for this one.
First job on the list was to replace the rather tired K&N cone filter that it's got fitted. I don't intend on spending fortunes on this car so I picked up this handsome little chap for £35 from Halfords -
I have a length of induction tubing I'll use to feed to this kit so it'll be a semi-enclosed system.
Let the bargain modding begin!

looks like a little washing machine
Haha yeah or a missile launcher.
Thing is I looked at the Halfords own, Rispeed air filters and was surprised at the quality. I'm guessing they are made by some other company and branded as Ripspeed.
Still I'm not buying a Green filter which is an 8th of the price of the price of the car! haha

yer u have to becareful otherwise befroe you know it the kit on teh car costs more than what u brought the car for
Exactly mate, I don't intend to spend fortunes on it, certainly not at the moment anyway.
Initial plans are to tidy it up and get it cosmetically mint as mechanically it's in good order. Then go from there.
I must admit though I do rather fancy a turbo kit from k-tec though. A 280bhp Clio rather appeals!

have to get it ready and take it to brands for a spin
Well I got the Clio yesterday and must say I'm really chuffed with it. Here's a few pics -
This is the bad side -
Shouldn't cost me too much to fix to be honest. Swapped out the K&N cone filter that was knackered with an enclosed carbon filter with an air feed connected to the OEM air feed.

Just had a quote in the bodywork. £550 for the front bumper to be totally sprayed, dent on the door taken out and the drivers side sprayed and blended into the rear quarter. Not a bad price.
It'll owe me £1,400 in the end which for a virtually mint 172 is pretty amazing.
I think the phrase jammy c*nt springs to mind. Lol

Nice car, £1400 inc repairs is a steal.
Funny thing is one of the guys in the body shop goes "I'll give you a grand for it as it stands".
Yeah right, for him to fix it himself and sell it on for £2+, I think not. I'd rather spend the cash on it for myself and if I eventually decide to sell it, I'm confident I'd break even at the very least.

Picked her up from the bodyshop last night. She's had the front bumper resprayed along with the drivers side door and wheel arch. Took her Brands Hatch to watch some qualifying today....
Little present for the visit...

Looking good Alex.
Combo of Iceberg and black gloss wheels is great.
I remember years ago on Cliosport when Turner172 had anthracite 182 wheels on his 172, got bored of them and changed them back to 172 wheels after he'd had them painted at Laptab.
He de-catted it, put an ITG Maxogen IK on and a GDI straight through exhaust. That had some throat
Good location pics from Brands.
