Mk1 Williams and 16v ooze retro chic
172 Ph1 Original RS Clio. Demands admiration.
172 Ph2 Has mild aggressive features but also its subtlety makes it quite a nifty Q car
182 Similar but better colour palette makes it more sporty looking and Xenons add exclusivity
Mk3 197...
Spoiler and front splitter on Cup packed 182s is bigger. Different colour options. Exhaust. Not sure if all 172s have Xenons and therefore the washer jets in the front bumper?
:hail: :hail::hail: Mother of God. This beats the Ph1 appreciation thread for car p**n.
If I had a valver or Williams I think I'd restore it and moth ball it. I nearly bought one about 2006 but insurance was too high so bought a 106 GTi instead. I'm old now though ;)

:cool: looked awesome. I went with a friend in his RS Twingo and parked up close to an RS200 Clio and an R26 and got most excited by the ph-quick. See the others everyday. Not every day you get to see a ph1 :D
Deffo yeah. Just get that and a Motorsport mount. If you get on with it and find you want a few more features then sell it again. I doubt you'll lose any money.
They're all awesome. Later ones have wider angle but I've had some good experiences with all of them even to very first. If you're on a budget get an early one. I'm using a black edition ATM but unless you're heavily into it it's not worth three times the price of an earlier second hand model...
That side profile is growing on me tbh. Shame the front isn't wider to give it more stance. No doubt it'll be quicker than a 197/200 but at what cost? :(
Sold my S1 106 a few months ago. Still miss it :( very hard to replace that feeling of old French hatch. The 172 Cup would capture a lot of that feeling though I think. ;)
I'd go for whichever is in best condition as stated above. Had a Cup in the past and loved it. Wish I'd not sold it but I do have an urge for a Ph1 after spending too long looking at Ph1 owners bumming them on CS :clap:
There was a thread on this about a month ago. Think the general consensus was it'll never be worth much. :( Renault 5 Gt Turbos prices have taken years to move up rather than down and even now they're only 3k ish.
Yeah I got the colour I wanted :cool: just so happened to be in great condition too. I'd be tempted by an rougher liquid 182 if it meant I got that colour haha.
I guess it takes a lot of balls to order a new car in a lairy colour without suffering massively when it comes to resale. Plus colours go in and out of fashion. There's loads of liquid 200s now!
Yeah I seem to see more Clios down south when I'm out and about than when I go north.
I was hella far away from home and didn't it feel it! Still - the sun was out and I saw a sunflower. The day was full of win :cool:
Spotted and giggled like a girl. Sadly I was in my van with a work colleague who is not a car bore so couldnt really point out the rarity :dapprove:
Looked sweet though whoever it was. Didn't help my urge for a Ph1!!
I spotted a CS sticker. I parked next to you - sad I know - but I was in and out before you came out. Could've been a girl driving as the seat was jacked right forward, or maybe a short man?! :p
Want a phase one. The outside is lush but I don't know if I could deal with the dash. :(
There doesn't seem to be any decent ones for sale really. Where are they all hiding?!
