I've had the car a week now, so this weekend it was time to give it some tlc, not the best pictures as the weather wasn't kind this weekend:


Excuse the dogs bum, she likes to get in the way lol


I don't like the tow eye, but the guy I bought the car from put it in and cut away the mesh behind it so when I get more time I will sort it out, he had also added an extra STI badge on the lower grill, which I have now taken off as it was a bit much, and I'm not keen on the wheels either lol but all in good time.

And a few of my old toy:

Very nice, I personally like the tow hook.

In massive OCD fashion though, I would have to straighten that upper grille STi badge at the front, it's off at an angle - looks like it has been lined up against the grille housing and not the grille itself.

Lol yeah I don't think it sits right because of the size of the holes in the mesh, will play about with it at some point, and might just have to find another way to attach it

I know of a brand new set of 330s Alloys for sale.. still with boxes never used.... £900 the set, they're over nr Grantham.

Very nice, just bought one myself, feels so much more forgiving to drive than my classic!

Where are you based, I am sure I have seen that clio before!

Lora-x

Clio was a lot of fun I've owned a couple over 5 years, brilliant little things and they handle like they are on rails with the right setup! But have was searching for other things the last 12 months and was hard pushed to find something quicker and just as fun, looked at the golf r for a while, but they are seriously over priced and convinced after seeing a few around now that I have my scoob they definitely don't look half as impressive as this!

I'm from Warwickshire

Had a go in one the other day.

Will get one for sure as a replacement for my R32.

But that would be as a comfortable and reasonably sporty daily driver, it's not as quick or as thrilling to drive as an Impreza STi hatch.

You definitely made the right choice in my view.

Northampton, are you the guy I bought it from?

cjcheshire

I don't think so - I part exchanged it for a RS 200 at riverside Renault.

Lora-x

Small world lol, I bought it from a guy in Northampton, he'd not had it long and hadn't really driven it much

Does look like Jamie's car but I think his was a 59?

On the STI badge, it does not sit straight because you have Zun mesh, what you'll need to do is cut one if the lugs off the back so you can level and then use some clear mastic to attach.

Lora-x

Yeah the lad I bought it off was called Jamie so you''re probably right
