Clio V6 Passion

The UK now has a Gris Technique car as well









Sorry , I dont speak french but i though i would show you my car. the car was damaged in a big accident and I have spent 3 years rebuilding it, including the colour change, all interior panels have also been painted including the floors and under the roof.

Désolé, je ne parle pas le français mais l'I bien que je te montre ma voiture. la voiture a été endommagée dans un grand accident et j'ai passé 3 ans le reconstruisant, y compris le changement de couleur, tous les panneaux intérieurs avais été également peint comprenant les planchers et sous le toit.

Welcome to the forum Steve, very nice car, I love this colour although I feel your pictures are slightly overexposed and don't pay tribute to this great colour. You said the car was heavily damaged but did you repair or replace the bodyshell? Very nice work saving one V, this car deserves it, great job.

Superbe couleur

Tellement rare

Merci pour tes photos

I repaired the car







J'ai employé un bodyshop pour le redressage du châssis et la réparation de la section de filon-couche et de la peinture a été faite professionnellement, le reste du travail que j'ai effectué moi-même comprenant l'assemblée finale, modifications pendant le travail incluent, type sièges de R, serrure de direction accrue de Honda Civic (par l'intermédiaire de Harry' ; chats d'instructions de s) enlevés du silencieux arrière, volant de Momo.

J'ai passé 300 heures travaillant à la voiture.

Merci des compliments sur la voiture.

I used a bodyshop for the straightening of the chassis and fixing of sill section and the paintwork was done professionally, the rest of the work I did myself including the final assembly, modifications during the work include, Honda Civic type R seats, increased steering lock ( via Harry's instructions) cats removed from rear silencer, Momo steering wheel.

I have spent 300 hours working on the car.

Thank you for the compliments on the car.

Waoooh that's a job!!! Have you actually counted the hours spent on it cause I'm pretty sure it was way over 300 hrs. It sure came out great, you can be proud

Hi Phil


300 hours was a guess yes, that was just for the repairs only, not including taking engine out for belts, polishing plenum, changing seats, the gearbox is out now for a cracked casing from the accident also not included in the hours.

I think its best you dont keep a total on the hours or the costs, but as a guide car was €7000 repairs €7000, but car only valued at €13,000 in UK, so the hours are all FREE and will still loose money if i sell it.

Sure but it is YOUR car that you now know like the back of your hand and you get the pride of saving one V that would have been parted out otherwise. I'm impressed I don't think I would have had the guts to take on a job like that myself.
