Discussion
I'm new here but assume you're looking for comments. Generally OK, but a bit on the dark side for my liking. The light of the day was against you though. Some shots are suffering from the bright sky causing you or the camera to underexpose (particularly the interior shot). If you have a spot metering option on the camera, try experimenting with that. If not, use the exposure comp. to increase the exposure when you suspect that a bright background might cause a problem (check results on the screen and take a few shots at different comps to look at later).
I prefer the closer cropped compositions (e.g. the rear half of the car and the partial rear 3/4s shot).
You could also try parking the car diagonally across the road and/or try altering wheel angle for variety.

Bert,
You're well on your way!
A lot can be achieved by seeking out good light. You already have a reasonable location so next time, see if you can get there early on a brightish day or late. If you aim for the first hour after dawn or last hour before dusk you'll find that the light will do wonders for your pics. You may well need a tripod (or improvised support) though as there will be less light.
Consider also whether you can carry something to stand on (mini set of steps ideal). You'll be amazed how standing a couple of feet higher (as well as lying on the ground) will create some interesting shots.

I like all the photo's as far as composition goes, almost all of them bring out some nice parts of the Clio's styling which you might not normally appreciate...
As said above the dawn/dusk lighting is nicer, and use a bit of flash apparently. Do a bit of digging around on the Photography & Video section and there are some links to car photography hints and tips, most of which are really easy to follow general rules of thumb!
You still based in the Leeds area Ploarbert? Where is that road?
