I like that Russ; some great advice there

You certainly know your way around a Clio and that may prove so valuable when you start sprinting yours. Keep the updates coming.

Thank you chap!:) I should apoligise for the poor photo`s though, They were taken on my phone with no flash

The trade secret is definatly to re-face (or simular) over any filler or such like as i`m sure we`ve all seen/had repairs done on our cars that look great for a few weeks or months then over time the paint sinks back and starts showing sand or fill marks so it stands out like a sore thumb.

I find covering said repairs with thick, oil based paint, preferably applied with a medium coarse roller is also a good way to hide things

Fancy doing yours NATO green?

Are you going to drive your Clio to and from events Russ or are you trailering it?

Ha Ha! I think this will stay black bud.

I`m not sure if i will be sprinting the clio yet! I took the scoob out today and had forgotten what a huge grin that puts on my face.........

and i picked up a new bigger turbo for it last week.

Great work Russ. It amazes me how simple it can be to make good body damage. If you know what you're doing

Watching all this with keen interest.
