Nice. I've always liked them.

Nicer, subtler colour than the yellow too.

Keep it pretty standard.

Yup keeping it standard, might get it lowered but only a bit.

Really chuffed, was going to get a 1.8 Clio but came accross this and couldnt turn it down!

'Tis the season to change your cars lol :)

Good luck getting it lowered, a mate of mine used to have the same car and had a 'mare of a time getting his lowered. Definately worth it though, think his was -40mm on Apex at the front.

Yup all fully stamped! Recent new exhaust as well, among other stuff!

Getting it serviced when I get it as well, i didnt really think about the running and servicing costs when I bought it :rolleyes: lol. A lot more than my 1.2 ! lol

Was a bit of an impulse buy, but hey ho! Im sure I will have fun, until I crash and burn!

Another thing I didnt really think about lol! Again its an impulse buy lol!

I have figured I will need to sit at 70 now instead of 90 to get close to my current MPG, but then when you have 150 horses under your right foot it may prove difficult lol

hmm well im sure you will enjoy it matey.

i do really like that shape, had visions of getting one at 19, but ended up with the 172 at 20 instead.

im sure as long as you dont boot the hole out it you will get 32-35ish

brought one of these for the missus, aint cheap on fuel or repairs but they are a good all round car for the money, nice bit of poke to them as well.
