im still decidin whether or not 2 keep them but as they came wiv it im not complainin as the 100+ and in mint condition

lovely car but wheels look cack

a nice set of 16's will look the part

 

[Rich]

Can I be as rude to ask what you paid, looking around for a 172 myself at the mo?

 

[rich19]

no problem rich, they were askin 5400 but i got it down to 4999 from renault dealership and they threm me in full service and usual mot and tax which was a bonus

 

[kully]

that looks so sweet mate , enjoy it . gr8 mileage too

 

[Alex_225]

You got a good deal there mate, especially for a car with 24k and as rare as it is.
Probably one of the nicest colours that RenaultSport have done too. The wheels aren't too bad, there are ones out there that would suit it more but if it was me, it wouldn't bother me too much.

I'd colour code the bump strips before swapping the wheels.

[JayR]

As you already know the wheels do need to be ditched but the car is a total beautaaaay mate.....I want, i want, i want!!!

Was this the one that was at Reno Oldham?

I paid 4300 for mine, same colour, on 29k.

Does anyone know how many more there are in the club?

ps forgot to say; Lovely!

 

[rich19]

cheers 4 the comment guys, i fink it was at oldham then moved to bolton, i drove 80 miles to see it!
any opinions on wot alloys then people as i dont want to copy the usual turina route?

 

[JayR]

I personally think aftermarkets are pretty w**k these days unless were talking a nice set of BBS's but even then i think they could be abit fussy for the Clio.

Sorry to say this chap but i think the standards or Trophy coloured Turnins is the only way to go.

I have to say, that I think that is the best RS model ever made. Best model, best colour. Please put some OEM rims on it, seems a shame that such a nice car has huge wheels on. Keep it standard, apart from some subtle mods maybe, such as ph2 rear lights, colour code side strips, and a little bit lower.

 

[rich19]

i agree fellas, they came wiv the car so shud make a tidy profit on them lookin at them and the tread i wud stay a couple of hundren miles old!

exterior wise i`l drop it colour code strips and door handle and paint the calipers either red or flame red!

 

[C.slicker]

If it was me the first thing I would do I swap with ph2 rear light clusters, then CC, then calipers.

I think the wheels look good. The won't handles as well as 15s or 16s but it depends how you value aesthetics in relation to performance I guess.

Looks awesome as it is though!

[rich19]

thanks slicker, will hopefully do the calipers at the wkend, not sure bout the rear clusters with the flame red cuz ph2 lights hav the white centre bit where the ph1 clusters r an exact colour match with the colour of the car!
