Clio V6 - Doesnt seem right to me...

[Matthew]

Possible re-post, but....

This V6 on PH's claims Alonso has driven the car (scan of magazine cover included) but the car in the photo is LHD and the one for sale is RHD :S

Some one please correct me if I'm being a wally.

FPMSL you can see they are stickers LOL.

 

[Sash]

Signature's are Stickers? Also old school CS sticker?

 

[Storm_Force]

Yes if you look close you can see the edge of the vinyl, also as op say its changed for LHD to RHD LOL!

ULTIMATE DRIVING EXPERIENCE - what, really?!?

 

[Chris62]

FLOL at the stickers! Epic fail.

 

[Struggler]

perhaps theres something on here about it since there is a CS sticker!!

 

[weemark]

I dont think they look like stickers :S. It looks more like it has been signed with a tip-ex pen and then a clear vinyl layed on top to stop it being rubbed off ?? And it may look like a LHD as the photo may have been flipped to fit the magazine cover.

^ I'm glad someone is on the ball!

 

[ddouble]

the car was given away at a draw at a renault F1 factory tour and alonso (who drew the winner) signed it and posed for a few photos.

you can cleary see the rectangular outline of the plastic sticker!!

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

^FFS yes it's a clear sticker ON TOP of the signature to stop it being accidentally cleaned off, or rubbed off.

Its a clear protective sticker (similar to ventureshield) cut to this shape to protect the signature. Weemark is correct in what he has said.

[Spee]

Nice looking motor!

 

[Sam]

I think it looks alright. I agree with the sticker over the top of the signature, also on the dash strips it just looks like its been laqeured.

So have we concluded the magazine photo has been flipped?

 

[Kane.]

No ! Look at wipers difference lhd and rhd are different.

 

[Dan29]

Good shout!

 

[weemark]

How are they different?? My RHD had wipers that wiped the left of the screen.

Look at the mag cover, and the pictures of the car. The wipers are the same. The picture can't have been flipped, it must be a different car for the photo.

Unless I've missed something obvious.

Pictures on that link defo show a RHD car! Hmmmm

 

[Willliams]

Soo... two cars! Both driven by Alonso. One LHD, and the other RHD.. which is the one being sold.. mystery solved.

 

[Djw John]

The lhd pic hasnt been flipped, look at the wiper, its just a straight wiper arm with no big bit of plastic hiding the mechanism that you get on RHD cars.

 

[R-Sport.]

who cares anyway- no one on here is going to buy it!!!

[Rich..]

Different reg numbers?

 

[Matthew]
