Sorry to bump an old thread. Love these cars, so much so have placed a deposit on one to replace my V6. 56 plate silver with all the good options (and multispoke alloys). All being well I'll have the Vee gone this Saturday and pick up the SLK55 the following Saturday. Can't wait!!!!

I'm out. Going to the Aberdeen game on a corporate freebie.

Coming up for sale soon if anyone is interested. Had thought I was going to keep it, but it's time to try and get my cash out of it. full advert to follow.

Correct. Had this one 3 years almost. Haven't seen Craig in ages!!!!

Doubly agreed. I won't be making any more changes, other than a new (OEM) steering wheel. I said when I got it that I wouldn't change it from standard, but these subtle changes really do improve it (with the exception of the ridiculously noisy exhaust).

Good spot. You know Newtonhill?

No, got them from Lankan on cliov6.net. He was going to put them in his Liquid Vee, but never got round to it.

Haven't posted up pics in a while, so here are a few. Recently had the 18" wheels added (suspension and alignment sorted), Quicksilver exhaust and some new seats. Steering wheel next as the leather is deteriorating and the airbag is scratched, looking for a new OEM (be it from 172, 182 or Vee).

Spotted your comment on v6.net Simon. Perhaps I'll take my Vee along too, probably just hang around for the pictures.

That's what I thought.

I've a set of Pole Positions to go into my phase I V6. i've also got a custom set of side mounts that bolt on to the existing Clio runners. My question is; is it possible to remove the standard seats from the runners without releasing the runners from underneath the car? From initial...

I had problems with coils on my first Vee. None so far on my second (touch wood) although it is a garage ***** mostly. I believe the first owner changed them all.

Standard metallic red should not be on any car IMO, especially not a hatch back. It ages worse than black. Flame red/Capsicum is an entirely different tale.

so you take the morale high ground, then join in and become a plank. you are confused! We are now getting comparisons from real people who have driven both, sounds like a good battle, but I know where my money is on with regards which will be better to drive for those likeminded enthusiasts...

Tests between Clio, Fiesta and Pug next week I believe. all the mags have had a Clio with Cup.
