Vehicle History

Remarks

I bought the car from an insurance company, sadly it involved in an accident by the previous owner, front end was damaged including bonnet, front bumper, coolant radiator. Nothing mayor, but it got Category 'S' class from the insurance company. Which means structually damaged, repairable. I was start looking for genunie original parts and after a year of hunting I finally had all the parts what the Clio needed to get back in pristine condition, I also found a Williams specialist who carried out the whole restoration process. (I have all the photos of the restoration process, photos of the damage, and condition of the car when I bought it.)
