Interested to see more pics. 4K for a genuinely good Cup isn’t expensive in my opinion.

The 17inch wheels just look wrong !

My wife assures me 1 inch makes no difference but i am not convinced 😂....but will change them when i find a good set of 16s a bit closer to devon...will sort some more pics she is very clean for an d girl

Should have black inserts, the ones you have are grey

Sad, but could point to work on the front end?

 

[imprezaworks]

Or just fancied different lights

They both look the same to me

Either way it's no surprising it's still for sale

Hi all,

Just fitted black insert headlights, thanks for the knowledge.. Also fitted some vapour blasted and polished engine parts.

Was tempted by a bid of over 10k today.

Surely its better than money in the bank and looks better 😍

Price on this williams 3 😎

Engine bay looks good now with the vapour blasted inlet manifold. The rusty top mounts let it down though.

 

[Horatio McAllister]

And the missing battery terminal cover.

 

[dave120]

No doubt a great car for the right person. Not sure vapour blasting one part is the correct move.

I think you have to either leave the car as is or tart up the whole engine bay. You cannot ask top money for something and have silly things like the 12 quid battery terminal cover missing.

Good luck.

 

[Ex-User (99307)]

Honestly just whack it on collecting cars, good cars make serious money on there and renaultsports do really well.

 

[R3k1355]

Those vapour blasted parts look brilliant

I agree. If you're asking top money the car should be complete and in as near mint condition as possible.
It's missing the engine hoist bracket as well.

 

[Greeny.]

If im being anal it could do with a new header tank and type d to finish it off as well.

 

[deanoE30M3]

It’s not like he’s asking out of this world money for this Clio.

so having a few bits missing and having rusty top mounts don’t matter!

reason it could of had new different head lights it’s had a front end and he didn’t go through insurance! lol

had a bid of over 10k and still didn’t sell it.. 🧐

He's asking £12995. That's strong money for a car that's obviously not a minter. Plus he's already added 5k miles so it's already going down in value lol
Personally I'd have taken the " over £10k offer". 😉

I was taking the piss..

No idea why he didn’t take the 10k if that was offered.

Just someone wasting cliosports time being misleading thinking he was going to be a genuine Clio cup owner

 

[Ant1]

13k for that still?

If it was that good it woulda sold already.

I wouldn’t be adverse to shelling out that kinda money for a sub 20k Cup but the condition would have to match the milage. That clearly doesn't.

 

[frayz]

Rather have the 1600 mile 182 thats about to come to market.
Buy it and daily the f*K out of it

This! Suspect he is going to want huge ££ for that though!

That guy is a t**t trying to play the game. It's silver ffs.

I just don’t think he knows what he had, plus I prefer silver. Understand there is limited appeal, but I’m not the only person who likes it. Colour fashions change, back when the 182 was launched silver was the colour! In fact you couldn’t buy white cars in anything other than factory orders! Because in the U.K. it was the absolute kiss of death. Now look at it! We all like different things that’s for sure and I appreciate it’s one of if not the least desirable colour! But find another 1600 mile 182 on the market.

 

[frayz]

He will, its a £15-17k car. Silver or not, its a brand new 182. So effectively you could buy it and do your whole Clio ownership again, which is amazing.
You'd lose that in 2 years on a PCPd Golf etc.

As they say, find another one.

There has been a 'as new' in every sense of the word top and bottom Clio 172 in silver for sale with 11k on the clock. The underside is the best I have ever seen, 8k it is up for and hasn't sold. If anyone pays 10k upwards for that 182 they are nuts.

I would want to see engine bay and ramp pics for that 182 no excuses.

In your opinion, which is fine of course. Doesn’t make it right mind.

Plus the 11k 172 can’t be that well advertised, it’s not on eBay or Autotrader that I have seen.

for the record, I don’t think it’s worth anywhere near the £20k That’s been banded about, car needs auctioning to find it’s true value.

As we always used to say in the trade. An opinion is worth f**k all, it’s the bid that’s important.

 

[frayz]

Easy to price it, just compare it to all the other 1600 mile 182s currently for sale

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Ahhh sorry. Didn't know you were taking the piss.
If he really thinks he'll get nigh on £13k he's dreaming.
There was a really low miler last year with only 13k miles on the clock, it looked and sounded mint. They had it advertised for £12995 originally but couldn't shift it so had to drop the price.

I remember when I bought my first new 172. I was torn between Flame Red and Iceberg silver, leaning more towards red. My mate convinced me to buy silver.
As soon as I bought it I realised the world and his dog were all driving silver cars so it never stood out lol.
I still think Silver when clean still looks really good. Tbh. I think Renault got it right with all the 1*2 colours.

I agree, there are colours I prefer. But wouldn’t say any are awful. Like I said a few times I specifically wanted a titanium 182, they always look so fresh and clean. Plus my favourite 205 GTI from back in the day was my old Silver 1.6 non sunroof model. So it brings back old memories.

100%.

I’ll find the link later, it was advertised on pistonheads for some time and now just on the their website.

20k lol.

 

[Joejordan]

Hello Ant,
Do you happen to have the details of the 11k mile Clio 172 that is around?
Regards, Joe

 

[deanoE30M3]

Strange one seems the Clio cup is back up for sale but with the new owner what seems just after a week or two after the auction had finished!!
