Firstly I'll apologize, as this is hardly Clio'Sport', and to others this is actually a very un-interesting car; I've always been one to get into forums and car communities though, and this has to be the most active single make forum I've ever been involved with, so thought I'd give it a go...

Yeah I did think of this, was hoping someone knew of an alternative before I ring them - as you say, not going to be cheap! Rubber provides grip, plus it looks nice imho - besides, there's already carpet underneath! Yeah I looked on eBay to begin with, but it's all MK2/3 stuff, and I do like...

Hopefully this is the relevant section.. Just purchased a 1.2 MK1 Ph3 yesterday with a full MOT, 55k and 1 previous owner - nice car! However, I'd like some rubber mats in it, and not cheapo ebay universal rubber, proper Renault stuff! Anyone got any/know where to get them from? Cheers!

Comfy, lazy and potentially reliable? Sounds alright to me! Only slight issue is that the car is 142 miles away, in Kent.. I'll see if I can get up there at all, unlikely but worth a try, I think I'd quite like it. Thanks for the reply :D

Sorry for the boring topic, I know it's hardly very ClioSport! But I'm looking at possibly getting myself a MK1 Ph1/2 (not sure) 1.4 RT Auto. What experiences have people had on here with these engine and gearboxes? Are they decent cars? Clearly I'm not expecting much performance wise, but are...

Sounds great, only wish I had the chance to do the same with mine! I'm afraid I don't have many pics, not ones that show it in un-stripped condition anyway! Feel free to have a look through this (if the site isn't private), it's a photo blog of everything I did to/for the Toledo in reverse...

Looking like early next week now, in order to get it with a 12 month MOT. Some plans are starting to form in my head now, depending on how things go this could turn out to be quite a fun little project :) Failing that, it'll certainly be great to tidy the car up and get it sold on again, not my...

Annoyingly, the garage that have this for sale appear to be useless... -_- With any luck I could get my hands on it today, but more likely to be later in the week. Also, can anyone recommend any companies that tune/modify the mk1? Just interested in what's out there and what's available :)...

Haha, until something 'S' specific breaks! Can't exactly pop into my local Triumph Dealer for a replacement :D Yeah it's quite interesting to an anorak, but they're really very similar to normal 948 Herald's; it's really just exterior and interior trim, and as it was the cheaper version (S stood...

Cheers for the welcome! Plans so far are along the lines of a full mop and polish, ditch the 'caps and get the steels looking nice and tidy - which will probably result in a weekend of sandpaper. I've heard these cars can have a few issues as well, so best to have a good mess under the bonnet...

Hi! First off I'm Dan, 19 years old and a huge car enthusiast, mainly classics. I'm to buy my fourth car tomorrow (I'll get to that), after owning a '53 Fiesta, a '74 Triumph Toledo and a '61 Herald S - which I still own. Funny thing is, I have no license yet/still! Anyway, tomorrow is when I...
