A quick question, i thought i'd add in here rather than a new post. How strong are the 1*2 engines? What kind of power can you take them up to before things start to go?

Hi Dan, I have my focus and BMW through you! :) I think i'm going to avoid kit cars, as soon as it rains i'll lose interest!

Kids AND shopping? How big are these clios!?

Haha probably be quicker if I left my hairdressing supplies at home though...:tongueclosed:

I believe this is my old car :hearteyes: hope she's still going well!

Thanks all, i think it's going to be a 182 and go from there! Thanks for all the help

Any links or pics please mate? Looks like it would be good but i'd like to do some of the work myself lol I just missed a blue one on eBay, had ktec suspension, scorpion exhaust decent discs for £2k but deposit taken now. Is it worth trying to do too much to them engine wise? A few spares...

Hi all, I've been looking for a while to start doing some track days and think i'm ready to get started, I'm not brave enough to take my 6 month old focus st round so looking for a more dedicated vehicle. I know the Clio platform has great reviews regarding track days but wanted to talk to some...

Cheers guys, at the end of the day I only put down 100 and it was a risk so I'll walk away if it's.not right and if I lose it I lose it. No real harm done. But from.what everyone says I think it sounds like it was pre registered and it hasn't been thrashed still on the original tyres and the...

d4vy that might be spot on, the guy is supposedly an old fella who just pottered around in it! How can I check who had it first? Should say on the V5 to the right correct? Also what does pre-registered mean?

I raised the issue about the tyres and brakes and he is supposed to be getting his mechanic to look at it before I go in wednesday. He however told me there was only one previous owner. Thats a condition I am not happy with as there is actually 2. It doesn't matter what I am not happy with, it...

The reason I have put a deposit down is because I have to get a day off work to be able to look at it properly, if I book the day off and the car is gone I have wasted one of my very few days off. I explained that when I did it and they were fine with it. Thanks but I don't play with toys :)

Usually it wouldn't, but after going through two owners and the front tyres being bald can only mean two things, it's on the original front tyres (lack of maintenance by both owners) or its had its clutch abused, if it was all 4 it would be a bit more understandable but just the front...? The...

Hi Chris, I am checking all the paperwork on wednesday and making sure it all matches up. I think they will give me a 3 moth warranty that I'll probably extend by atleast a year. I don't mind a car being driven hard just not abused too much and looked after! :)

How is it a waste of anyones time!? If you didn't want to comment on it then don't, there you go, your time is saved. The reason I am put off is because of some of the comments on this thread and I don't care if you were the salesman, a refundable deposit is exactly that. Refundable. I am not...

But add in with the chewed up front tyres and god awful brakes and it seems a bit odd?

Hmm good spot about the 2 owners. Thats put me off a bit...

I have no idea. Not a lot of love for the graphite but I quite like it. Also the yellow matches the seat belts

Thanks g@z i'll take a closer look on wednesday. The tyres at the moment are conti sports. Hi Simon, it is! I test drove it last weekend, if you fancy it/have time you could pop over and cast an eye see what you think ;)

You may do! I love these wheels, one of the reasons that swung me to this particualr car lol The tyres will be changed before I put anymore money down, as the brakes will need sorting. Also is the bit in the middle of the dash the Renaultsport monitor? Does that mean it has the 4 cd changer...

Thanks! How can you tell? Yeah I live around 10 miles away from the centre :)

On this: http://www.marshallweb.co.uk/vehiclespec.asp?ID=587269&make=RENAULT&model=CLIO&term=0&mileage=0&deposit=& I am going in wednesday to make sure all the paperwork ties up and give it a better test drive and ensure the brakes are fixed and sorted out and the front tyres are changed as...

Haha I do kind of like it! I was considering wrapping it in black so I think it would work well against that! I thought you were going to say that it was damaged! lol

Thanks guys, whats the Graphite pack Chris?

http://www.marshallweb.co.uk/vehiclespec.asp?ID=587269&make=RENAULT&model=CLIO&term=0&mileage=0&deposit=& How do I tell if this is a full fat or cup version?

Hahaha fair play! I think I am settled on a 197 F1 edition. Purely because I don't feel the 200's are worth the extra money. Thanks for everyones input, at the weekend....car shopping!! :D

Hi nightrider renault, thats a great offer and I may take you up on that! Thanks! The reliability of the corsa's is what puts me off, if I lose the car I am a bit knackered to get to work (I have a motorbike but in the heavy rain/snow/ice it's no good) and from the sounds of things the gear box...

Thank you very much! 197 F1 edition it is for me then :) Perfect one will be: 197 F1 Edition in Red/Black Climate Control Cruise Control Xenons Recaros Cup Style Pack New Camblet Anthracite wheels Around 30,000 miles Time to keep a look out!

Thats great thanks Chris! Few questions. What is keycard entry? and what would be better to go for, projectors or xenons? How can you fix the wear on the bolsters cheaply? Would it not need a new seat? And what does FF mean? :o

Hey guys, looking to get a 197 f1 edition possibly towards the end of the month/middle of next month. Just wondering if there is a buyers guide? I.e. what to look for/optional extras etc I'd like the spoiler, climate control and recaros, are they all standard (except the spoiler which I think...
