Tungy 5 GT Turbo with mk1 Clio 16v bonnet and wheels

Here she is so far..

I’ve replaced the rear bumper for standard outlet and going from 4” scorpion tailpipe to 3” magnex (if I remember correctly) same tailpipe in both pics here.


And had the sunroof patched in, I have a donor campus with a full roof liner.


Have plans to fit my 1 piece 2.5” downpipe and an afr guage to start playing with the boost. Oh and bought a baffled sump so will get that on. Will need to fix on the oe turbo heat shield too.

One of my favourite mods are the orange dials for the clockface, well I’ve not enjoyed a stereo in it since I’ve owned it for 6 years (intermittently as my daily) so having the stereo installed (along with security and all niggling wiring sorted) will be a massive result, I have bought the beautiful Blaupunkt SQR 46 DAB which with the dials will make me feel warm inside as I’m boosting about. I have some stunning oe rubber mats I’ll enjoy digging out and setting onto the red carpet. Something I’ve never forgotten was my failure to nab a full set of boutique mats once on eBay for around £120ish buy it now, I hesitated for a moment and yep they sold pretty quick. The boutique half material half rubber were nice but it was the novelty of having a mat span the bridge in the rear footwells. I bought some Twin headlights but noticed last time I checked that they began rusting inside the silver coating, do you know if this is repairable or new lense time?

Anyhow..lots to look forward to.

Did the roof not warp or go out of shape when you welded up the sun roof panel nice project 👍

Well after reading all about other roof swaps I bought a donor 5 campus but the bodyshop preferred to go with this method, looked spot on with no issues
