Mid life crisis car has arrived! (A mad one redux)
Discussion
On another thread, I was asking advise on a mid life crisis car. I was considering another hot hatch, preferably one with va-va-voom. Or something similar.
Allow me to introduce my (maybe) last car. No? I don't believe it either, don't worry.
She needs a bit of tidying inside and out. Colour match for the bonnet and wing, or maybe an entire colour change. Try to get the Recaros lowered. But I am very, very happy (and grateful my long suffering wife allows me to do this!).
Behold, the crashed and modified Ph1 Clio V6. Coilovers, wheels, cup spoiler, cf bonnet, and I think the engine has been played with as well, as it is a lot perkier than I remember the Ph2 to be. I will try to get a nice shot of this and the Sagaris together....

To my eyes turning it such an iconic natural colour would be artificially making it something it isn't. If you can follow that?
As such, a colour change to an iconic colour scheme that it has never been, along with the spoiler and wheels, would make it more acceptable.
I know, crazy.
That logic made my head hurt As such, a colour change to an iconic colour scheme that it has never been, along with the spoiler and wheels, would make it more acceptable.

Cracking car though, love these things!

Nope, makes perfect sense to me As such, a colour change to an iconic colour scheme that it has never been, along with the spoiler and wheels, would make it more acceptable.

Hi all, a brief update. The rear spoiler has been colour coded, I've hard wired in a charger for an Accumate, had the exhaust fixed (aftermarket, not enough hangers on it so it was impacting the rear valance). Oh, and added an Alpine head unit. Some my pics, others nicked off people.

Hard wired charger
Brought in through the drain hole - no cutting required!

No real plans over the winter with it, but come spring, have a real play! Due to health issues I haven't been able to use it much, but the one spirited drive I did manage had me grinning like a loon.
