I thought it would be a good idea to get the Clio cleaned, treated and waxed at my local specialist who are SubZero in Worcestershire.
I’ve had dry ice cleaning done before and it’s amazing.
We all know that older French cars like to dissolve, so I wasn’t that surprised to find this little treat under the drivers side front wheel arch liner.
Passenger side caught in the nick of time (ish)
Well worth a check on any annual inspection moving forwards!
It’ll get fixed and back on the road in no time!922f1026-8c70-482b-8665-d98cad1f0f6a.jpegc9138cc7-1eab-4116-b001-e7720f6b7770.jpegf36e97f2-ed7b-4620-8fc1-4284f8ef2887.jpeg
I love this car!

That must of caused a sharp intake of breath, must have been quite tough to see. But kudos for your great attitude, everything is fixable. I think you will have a few of us keeping an eye on things down there, so no bad thing.

Two more holes!
Inner wing rear around filler cap. Rear sub frame mount. Both fixable. Both pretty well hidden.
Dry ice clean complete. Rust prevention applied. Welder in later this week followed up by a textured black Dimitrol (may have that spelt incorrectly) and clear wax on the dampers etc.
