First time Clio owner in Chichester

Stuperbulous · Dec 15, 2016

Afternoon Everyone.

I've joined up as I've just bought my first Clio. A 182 in Silver. My names Dave and I work in the motor trade. This car came in part ex cheap and I couldn't let it go to one our traders. It's by no means perfect, but I like bringing cars back to their former glory.

That's all from me so far. Thanks for reading!

Welcome. Quite a few of us local(ish).

Good luck with the 182!

Budgie · Dec 15, 2016

If you need parts, @stevem42 is in Worthing, and breaks 182's

Davyy, I commented on your car on PH a few weeks ago. I passed it on the M27 Heading toward Portsmouth. I work in Southampton.

Thanks for the tip. The spoiler has seen better days so that's on the list to replace.

Oh I remember! Will keep an eye out on the M27. Will this be your daily car now?

Just to bring it back up to standard. Needs the steering wheel sorting, wheels and tyres need sorting, needs a very, very good clean. There's a bit of damage to the spoiler so need a replacement.

I want to get it to how it should be. I don't really need this, I'm too old to really be modding cars. I just have a space in my garage at home for something for me to work on during the evenings, and this was peanuts so I thought why not?

Dave.

Budgie · Dec 15, 2016

Urgently needs one of these:

I've already got 3 cars; A Company car for daily duties. A 2009 C180k Estate for family duties and a little Jimny for green lane fun. as mentioned, this is just something that needs a bit of TLC for me to work on during the winter nights.

Out of curiosity, It's an elegance model. Are mudflaps available?

Goodj · Dec 15, 2016

I always used to blame getting home late from work on "An afternoon meeting in Chichester".

Not once been there.

Welcome aboard

As long as it doesn't have AMG styling you can fit them. PM me the chassis number and i'll price them up mate.

Speedy300 · Dec 15, 2016

Welcome, I am local to you as well.

chris blue · Dec 15, 2016

Welcome Dave- looks fab for peanuts
Happy days

Impuzzable · Dec 15, 2016

Welcome Dave. I also love to see cars restored to their former glory - keeps me poor though! Currently have three projects including 2 Clio 172's. Look forward to seeing the progress of your 182. Enjoy!

@Budgie thanks for the mention

Why not! I love it and I like the idea of this becoming a fine example after some of your graft!
