'05 LY RS Clio 182



Well 3rd time I've returned to a Renault :eek: This time another Renault Sport variant... 182 !


After a two let downs I managed to look into this one. Here's the advert pictures:

Quite a bit of bartering day by day and I managed to knock the sellers down by £1,100 and it came to light they would be coming 2 hours our direction to save us the big commute which was a nice bonus!

The Car:

2005 Clio 182 in Liquid Yellow
They bought the car from new and included the original invoice for 16k or so
All original books, documents, keys, certificate and booklet for the Renault alarm
Full service history
Cruise Control, speed limiter
Digital Climate Control
Xenons with working washers
Auto lights, wipers, door locking
Cabasse Stereo and steering wheel controls
And all the normal goodies - Half leather etc


We arrived.... Note the car they also travelled down in.... He also willingly arranged the viewing on his partners birthday which is dedication tbh :D

Bosch Aero Blades
197 Boot Badge - Eventually
Suspension Change
BMC CDA
Cup Spoiler - If one comes up at a reasonable price
My Private Plate - Maybe
Tempted with Carbon Interior bits again

LY does take a bit of beating, I'd have thought they would have added cup packs though.

Fantastic condition but definitely needs mods to set it off.

What camera are you using, pics are fantastic also.

Looks very fresh after your cleaning session. Well done! Everyone seems to be buying LY's recently.
 
Re: My New 2005 Liquid Yellow Clio 182

OMFG. That GT-R is EPIC. I want one so badly :(

Clio looks good, but as already said, SRS needs cupparge, or at least just darker rims.

How did you describe non cup packed 182's Roy?
 
Re: My New 2005 Liquid Yellow Clio 182

Leave the wheels silver.

Anthracite is soooo 2008.

People kiss arse over cup packs. A slightly bigger spolier, a splitter that's always missing and average suspension that 99% of people will change anyway.

Wow.

I love it, thats proper clean and lush

as been said, leave the rims silver, just drop it on some sportlines.

Do it! :approve:

I love that. I love that colour. I am so jealous :(

Always wanted to have one even before my first flamer :cool: thanks :eek:

Fantastic condition but definitely needs mods to set it off.

A samsung one but my bf seems to know how to play around with it, can do brilliant shots with it but needs a tripod for it tbh

Leave the wheels silver.

Wow.

Likes this ^ lol true though....

Suspension doesn't bother me in the slightest
Splitter I have a Skoda one as of yesterday that will be going on as Cup ones are pricey

Spoiler I wouldn't mind but not sure if I can vouch spending 3 figures and painting it costs.

Wheels - Turini's tbh would be ace but sadly missed a set off a Trophy on ebay for £160 :(

Hello. Nice car. etc.

I've got a useless private plate, you may be interested in it? LS02 LOU?

You can have it for whatever DVLA charge to transfer it. £80 iirc.

If it was something like LY05 LOU then obviously would snap it up ;)

But I already have a "Lou" plate, was also on my flamer

Re: My New 2005 Liquid Yellow Clio 182

Looks lovely.

As per previous comments, 99% of people wouldnt tell the difference between cup-packed/non cup packed anyway ...

Munson obviously would though as he's 300% expert.

Ignore the fags on here. Cup packs really aren't essential. They'll tell you a 182cup is pointless, then the next minute be up someones arse for buying a 200cup.

Silver wheels don't really suit ly, there's one I see frequently with black wheels, looks very nice.

Stunning that is. Will look even better once you have finished with it! Silver wheels FTW ;)
