CONDITION

• Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition.
• Specific notes from the seller include: the front valance was previously damaged on a low kerb and had some cracks in the paint over the GRP, so this was repaired and refinished. The car was then treated to detailing with a full machine polish and ceramic coated. The front valance and front bonnet section were given an application of PPF.
• The seller also states that all four wheels were refurbished to the original aluminium-look paint. The brake callipers have all been refurbished with new powder coating when the discs and pads were also replaced. Being an early 2000s car, some of the interior plastic trim plasticises over time and becomes sticky. The central dash radio and AC panels were dismantled and all parts refinished in metallic dark grey as per original, plus the door pulls were replaced too. All work carried out by SG Motorsport. The steering wheel has been retrimmed as that had bubbled over time through UV, the silver seat belt and buckles were replaced as they were grimy, and the seatbelt press buttons have been replaced as they had faded to deep pink.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The seller states that it was most recently serviced in December 2025 at 41,555 miles, by Clio V6 specialist SG Motorsport Services, which has carried out much of the previous maintenance on the car too.
• The car is accompanied by service documentation, as shown in the photo gallery.
