Time to pop out of the woodwork again, hope all are well
Loving this retirement lark but, now have more time to look around the car and see what can be done next on it!
The good news for my wallet is.......there is nothing else to be done! Yes, I know, they're never totally done when you are infested with the modifying bug but the way it is now is virtually ideal in my old eyes.
For saying it was going to be kept oem it's had what might be called a few changes.
Ph2 wheels,
KW V3 coilovers,
2 piece brake discs,
Alcantara steering wheel,
Cobra RSR seats custom made in blue,
Replica Trophy rear spoiler, originals NLA
Replica Trophy front splitter, originals NLA
Quicksilver back box, decided Orbisoud cost was extortionate,
Electrically operated fire system,
Harnesses,
As it is now it's heading towards resembling a V6 Trophy race car. Strangely though it was starting to look a little bland (as if a Clio V6 can be described as bland) and as though something was missing. Not to everyones tastes but decided to go down the route of applying one or two of the decals as applied to the Trophy cars and permanently bonded tyre lettering from the good old USA......blandness gone! I think the car is mad enough looking to carry them off.
Shortly going on a Euro trip with it, 3 days at the 'Ring, down into Switzerland to drive a couple of mountain passes, into France to the Vosges area then calling in to see the old GP set up in Reims prior to heading home. Looking forward to it.
However, there is one thing I don't like about the car..the attention it receives when it's out and about. It's nice to know that it's something different just like you will with the CSL, the difference I've found that, unless someone is into cars, the CSL sails under the radar. That's not really possible in this! Now I no longer live the life of a traveller I get the time to go to more events and meets, I just park, lock it and wander off out of the way.
Might catch one or two of you around and about...you can't miss me
