Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

It's been an expensive month getting back into car ownership, but the Clio's now almost in a place I'm happy with. It's incredibly quick for a small car, the engine really pulls when you get to 5k.

Work over the lockdown so far has been:

• New catalytic converter and full standard exhaust system - including mounts
  
• Sourced and fitted rear interior
  
• Paintless dent removal (magic)
  
• Fabia splitter fitted
  
• Rear boot badges sourced
  
• Brake nipples freed and replaced with stainless items - brakes bled
  
• Fuel filler area taken back to metal, treated for rust and painted
  
• New fuel filler flap hinge fitted
  
• Inner sills treated for rust and sealed
  
• RS182 side markings fitted
  
  

To do:

• Replace my phase 1 all red rear lights with standard items
  
• fit engine cover
  
• source new cup shocks and -40mm springs
  
• the list sell it and invest in bike bits?
