182 - 2 years Old - One Big Clean

[Rich]

182 turned 2 on March the 1st following a wet trip down to Rentech on Sat for it's first service I cleaned it to an inch of it's life!

Got the works, (bar a polish that is waiting till Easter) Wash, Wax, Wheels, Trim, Leather etc etc. Full write up for those who car will be in the Geektailing section later ...

After Watchdog, paid some attention with the WD on here.

All done

i bet if renault made 2 cars exactly the same kept one in a proper garage and never had it driven and gave one to you and made you drive it, it would still go back in better condition than the one left in the factory.

I just don't see the point of only doing that many miles in 2 years. Good on you Rich for making it look good. But I just don't see the point in the crazily low mileage. You should have an Elise or something that warrants that sort of mileage!

Its all good though. People do what they want!

 

[polarbert]

Oh and I've got the same keyring as you! Bargin for £3!

 

[Graham Gooch]

If you added a zero to the end of that mileage you'd still be 7k behind LOL!

If I had a safe works car park I would use it more. My 306 has numerous marks in it including tow bar marks in the front end of it from where I park in the street at work and I am not prepared to let that happen to the Clio.

I would like something such as an Elise to be honest but at the moment finances need channelling elsewhere.

 

[jimbo666]

immaculate Rich. top marks as ever!

 

[matt182]

Mines 2 years old next month and got 9700 miles and i thought the was low looks good rich as always

 

[Christopher]

stunning, as always Rich.

amazing work!

Don't I just know it, but see my post further up the page.

Though if the shocks leak and exhaust falls off, lovely excuse H&Rs and a Orbisoud.

 

[rory182]

^ yeah thats fair enough, at least you have a reason to keep it tucked away.

 

[Alex_225]

Looks stunning mate!!!

Man after my own heart though, my Megane 225 was a year old back in January and is on just over 2500 miles. I commute by train and have a Clio RT as a runabout for those trips to supermarket car parks etc.

I always admire a car someone has kept 100% mint. Nice one.

 

[DH_GTI]

very nice rich as per norm

 

[lewisniven]

for christs sake man, that thing is TOO clean! good work.

 

[Tigger]

As usual - WOW :approve:

 

[JD]

absolutely top notch as per Rich, i am aspiring to keep mine in as good condition as yours, so please put up with the constant questions lol

jamie

 

[shaun_cliosport]

[Rich]

I would hate seeing the gravy slide off it though!
