Had this for about 18 months, and just got around to taking some proper photos following a day's detailing and wheel refurb.

It will be up for sale soon (got to replace the rear pads and get aircon re-gassed first) as I fancy a 4x4 for winter...
(Yes it was foggy

Looks great! Am I right in thinking that the Full Fat is the cup chassis but still has all the toys?
Considering chopping in the MR2 for one purely for something different!
There were two different cup packs that could be added as options to the standard (non-cup) chassis. Considering chopping in the MR2 for one purely for something different!
Cup Suspension Pack : slightly lower & stiffer springs than normal and anthracite alloys (darker than the standard silver alloys, but the same design)
Cup Spoiler Pack : larger rear spoiler and front splitter
Full Fat refers to a model having both cup packs fitted, but still has Xenon lights and digital climate control.
A lot of fun for the money.
I had a Mk2 MR2 before this and the Clio is a lot more fun to hustle - it corners like it's on rails.

Looks great Daniel. I remember reading a thread on PH about car photography where they mention to never photograph your car on grass – it’s a car, not a cow, but your photos are great! I really like them. Car looks lovely too.
What 4x4 are you looking to get? Sounds like fun! I’d love a 4x4, but certainly couldn’t afford to run a big truck and a sports car. Ash’s little Civic costs peanuts to run and to be fair, does everything we could ever want it to do! I’d be tempted to persuade Ash to swap her Civic for the Clio, but not sure we’d want to jump in fuel consumption and the Civic actually handles two big 13’ kayaks on the roof quite well – I think the Clio might be a bit small!

different front hubs were the key ingredient to the Cup chassis upgrade Cup Suspension Pack : slightly lower & stiffer springs than normal and anthracite alloys (darker than the standard silver alloys, but the same design)
