Just joined the williams clio community, I've bought a phase one off a nice chap in Scotland. Unfortunately the rear arches are in need of repair. I've been looking for a arch kit for this vehicle to no avail. Any ideas?

also I've been informed I need a renault clutch cable.

:-D

What you need (the only thing still available) is a repair panel from a lower spec clio & someone skilled in the ancient art of old skool panel beating to shape & fit it.

The accepted rule of thumb is that only a genuine cable should be fitted but tbh I say that's bollocks as I've snapped more genuine cables than pattern ones

Thanks for the help, yeah I was unsure if the arches differed on the clio's. The Williams look the same as standard cars.

A good welder will fabricate new arches and cut them out from where they have rotted. Is this the 50k phase 1?

70k currently, seems to have been bubbling from 50k to current condition.
I didn't mean to blasphem the williams. looking like the standard car I was referring to the profile arch. I've seen rear quater panels for sale and was woundering if the williams had more flared panels.

yes they are more flared. and sadly the original panels are no longer available, theres not even a place that makes pattern panels for the williams/16 valver
