Potential ..

I might ask the cat the breath on it .. better safe than sorry..

Saying that, if the ****er sits on it, I might have a use for the heat gun.

De-badged will look good on yours

Titanium or Anthracite,Hyper-black is my favourite for wheels and really will suit yours

Not sure about the roof rails,de-railed look will suit yours and optically will lower yours wagon

And RA roof flap will look just amazing on the wagon

Otherwise looking good matey

It is lowered and I like the black look, white wheel look odd on blue cars.

Looks very nice that. I'd go with STi rear lights, slightly lighter colour for the wheels maybe. I quite like roof rails, so I'd say keep those.

Did you selly our Clio in the end?

I swapped it



Engine needs a clean, buts it's running well ... Can't for the life of me get the glue off the back, were the letters where.

Any suggestions ?
