Awesome looking car pal, good read too!

Yeah it is Ryan's, had a dig around earlier. Both him and jaffa have serious cars!

Hey everyone, Found a tasty silver 172 in the Squires Gate car park in Blackpool by the Airport. Black alloys, cliosport.net sticker in the back window and painted black Renault diamond on the boot. Think it was on a 53/54 plate but not entirely sure. Own up whoever you are, and post some...

Hi Guys, I've just got my new Renault Clio Grande, almost done 90,000 miles and seems like she's all well and good. A few niggling things need replacing such as rear coil springs and the brake servo, but other than that she's only having the cam done. Goes in for an MOT tomorrow and I was...

Those alloys look better than the trims mate as a temporary measure lol, look like something off a Ford Fiesta though. I would check out JaketroN's thread though if you haven't already, should give you some inspiration despite his being the newer model than ours. I'm sure it'll look nice when...

Looks nice mate, similar to mine at the moment except I haven't actually done anything apart from clean it up and rip off the mudflaps lol. Going for some similar mods myself and am going to be going for a red/black colour scheme with some refurbished 172 alloys. Not decided on the leather...

One of the nicest cars on here IMO, prefered the yellow to the blue though personally. Nice job mate!

Yeah I agree, gonna wait a few weeks until I have more time and then set about doing it in my garage on a long weekend. Thanks for the tips and like you say I'm sure we all gradually pick things up and everyone's got to start somewhere. Just checked out your thread stu, your car's awesome!

That's a really nice car mate, thanks for the insipration! Personally I like it best at the beginning, with the 172 alloys, lowered 40mm and the black Renault Sport interior. It doesn't look completely stock, but doesn't look too modified either and really stands out for one of it's age. It's...

Just been pricing it up and it's probably going to be a £60 - £70 quid job, which is a lot less than a body shop would charge. There's a decent one nearby but to be honest I'd get much more satisfaction out of doing it myself and getting my hands dirty. Like you say I can only learn from...

Well I can happily say that I resorted to cleaning the car today with many buckets let me tell you. She's looking clean as anything now, just half filled a huge barrel with cold water and used that to rinse the car etc. I also polished it with Auto Glym Super Resin Polish and it's looking pretty...

Probably got a bit more go in it than mine then pal, but for a 1.2, I was quite surprised at how nippy it was having driven my driving instructors 1.3 CDTi Corsa. It's actually amazing how fecking slow those lawnmower diesel engines are! Just as an update I set about taking the mudflaps off...

Thanks bloody awesome money, think you can get me a ticket in the next plane to Poland? ;-)

Nice car mate, really loving the wheels. How much did they cost you?

Quite like it actually, although I'm not too sure about the yellow around the rims personally. I don't think your exhaust is HUGE by any means, and not being a fan of them, I actually really like the way it fits, looks andsounds! I have a red 1.2 8V Grande, and am about to get started with the...

Really like the 172 wheels too, so it's a bit of a dilemma really, even if I haven't got the money yet! I'm hoping to pick up a set of decent alloys for less than £400, so I should be able to get something decent. Definitely going for the PH2 lights and will also go for the dual optics, the all...

Wasn't sure about the chrome surrounds to be honest, my Dad has them on his Jag and they look pretty cool. Guess I am driving a Clio at the end of the day though lol, don't want to make it look like something it's not so will probably ditch that idea. Are the dual optic headlights the ones...

Hey everyone, I've been a member on here for 'bout a week now, and thought I would post up some pics of my new car. I turned 17 in March and passed my test last month (second time lucky), and have got my hands on a 1999 Mk2 Ph1. I'm planning a number of mods but am a little strapped for cash at...

Mine does this, I've been told it's the in-line fuel filter. 'Tis apparently a common problem on Clio's, not too sure though mate.

Haha your car sounds like a beast mate, cool vid!

Hey mate, To be honest I doubt you'll get £2,500 for the car as it is. It's obviously in great condition and it's clear to all that you've spent a ton of time on it, but the fact remains that cars are a very personal thing, and finding someone who likes the same style as you is going to be...

Hey guys, Had a read through the sticky post from the Insurance Broker before, which basically confirmed everything that I thought to be true about car insurance. I have just purchased my first car and have been analysing the various ways in which I could go about insuring it. My Dad is paying...

I know a common problem for Clio's failing to start first time can be the fuel filter, but from what you've mentioned above it definitely wouldn't be that as it's not starting at all. Mine needs replacing and sometimes won't start first time, but at least you can tell that it's trying on each...
