Information:
In July 2014, I personally fitted the Factory SatNav system to the Liquid Yellow. However I do have the original interior wiring loom, dashboard and other accessories which will be included in the sale. Thus making the car, 2 of only 73 produced with this option. Combined with the optional extra of the Recaro’s, this really does make the car the crème de la crème! I also have TWO spare SatNav screens, along with an extra GPS unit and rear CD player which will be included in the sale.
I always have the car sorn'd and dry stored during the winter months, meaning I can do any mechanical alterations.
During the winter of 2014 / 2015, the car underwent the transformation of being a Non Cup Packed car to a Cup Packed 60mm bolt spacing to accommodate the Trophy Sachs I planned on running. This meant changing the drive shafts, hubs, front anti-roll bar etc... While I was on with this transformation, I took the opportunity to have ALL the items on the front end powdercoated black (Subframe, anti-roll bar, wishbones etc...) along with fitting Powerflex bushes throughout. I also changed the ball joints, track rod ends, wheel bearings and ABS sensors, as well as overhauling the front brakes with a BiggRed caliper repair kit. All items are documented including invoices.
I also changed the cambelt, auxillary belt, waterpump & dephaser in December 2014. I have an invoice from Adam Greenhouse (Renault West Midlands) for the sum of £488.16; this included the belt kit, all new seals and pulleys + timing belt tools. I personally replaced these items, having done this procedure countless times. I can assure you everything has been done correctly: Video and photograph evidence will be supplied if needed.
During changing the cambelt, all the inlets, rocker cover and other items were removed. I had these professionally cleaned and painted with VHT Black Wrinkle Paint. The engine bay looks amazing!
Again, during the winter of 2015 / 2016, I decided to tackle the suspension on the rear end. The rear beam was powdercoated, again with all the bushes changed to Powerflex. Not one suspension bush on this car is original, they have all been replaced to Powerflex products! I also changed the rear ABS sensors: again, all items are documented and invoiced.
Looking underneath the car, it really is better than new! Everything has been replaced within the last 3 years and it performs exceptionally well!
The car is fitted with Original anthracite alloy wheels, Michelin Pilot Sport 3s fitted on the front (Both 5.5mm) and brand new Goodyear Eagle F1’s on the rear (Both 8mm). Even though I will give the potential buyer the option to own the Snappy Steering Wheel, the car is currently fitted with a standard wheel, which is in PERFECT condition. No common melting at all!
Nitty Gritty:
After being around Clios for numerous years before purchasing this Liquid Yellow, I always had the ambition to own one.
However the opportunity never arose in my price range, until... In August 2012, David (Previous owner) was selling an accident damaged Liquid Yellow 182. Meaning sadly the car is a Category C, sustaining minor rear end damage (Rear bumper, tailgate and rear quarter).
The car was professionally repaired to the best quality possible and as a precaution the alignment was tested on a jig which assured that it was correct to within a fraction of a mm. It was then handed over to Sprayshack in Herefordshire to take care of the complex liquid yellow paintwork.
I have invoices from SprayShack totalling £724.00 plus train fares.
Every now and again the ABS, tracking and service lights appear. However this has happened for the last two years and does not affect the car in any way. I’m sure a Renault CLIP will sort this no problem.
The rear quarter suffered a minor stone chip, this is right next to the glass and has been touched up.
As you can see, I’d rather be honest about the car. Explaining all the pros and cons, If you require further information or pictures (I have hundreds). Please do not hesitate to ask!
I must re-literate, please do not let the nitty gritty put you off. This really is one of the most looked after cars out there! very much admired.

£3195 ONO - Located 6 miles from Durham City Centre.
