Evening,

Thought I'd post a little project of this car as I look to tidy her up and use her for my daily runner.

I picked it up from Frankie and she looked like this:

I was very pleased very few marks and interior looked good for the mileage with only the start of tears appearing.

I was on the hunt after I bought this T5 for £250 as she was a little smokey:

She lasted 30 miles and it had an oil change during those miles. she also hesitated a lot and needed a good service but she started to knock and it got louder and louder till she just stopped.

So I had some bits off her and she ended up like this:

She is missed :(

Anyway back to the R :D
I decided to get out the tinting film:

Then went and had the cat cut out:

And got this fitted a few weeks later

The old one was blowing and look at this split!!!

Oh and new wheels

Which called for the tracking to be done:

Now drives straight and the front toes are bang on both sides.

So she got a good clean

Also fitted a forge blanking plate and bsr induction kit. Has a lovely sound now :D


Oh and this was my previous car:

The Volvo is about the same pace as the Clio and that was running 213bhp and 180ft/lb of torque.

I have a few more things in mind like getting the bumper sprayed, getting her remapped to suit the 18T as currently has a tim Williams 15G map and then get the interior freshened up.

I'll post more pictures as I get them.

I wish i had the 19's they look so good!! If you want to sell them let me know lol. the bumpers will be getting attention.don't worry its going to be detailed by a friend very soon ;)
