it doesnt look a million miles away from a real splitter...looks good in my eyes!
strangely enough i prefer the full size plate unless your going to shorten it width wise too.... it looks too long and not deep enough,
having owned both in the past, the 172 cup definately feels more alive than the 182...theres just something more tardy about the 182 and the steering feels less alert..
day to day it would be the 182 hands down for me....more toys and 97.5% of the thrills!
Picked up my mars red from alex in edinburgh on friday, it feels soooo good to be back in a clio v6 again,
met up with IainT when i was up there for some pics and he led us out of town, The recaro's are sublime i forgot how nice they feel, it turned 22k on the way home though :( its been...
Hmmm well been to see the car, it felt like it had done about 80k not 43, the sunroof rattled to hell, the passengers mirror was loose, the drivers seat was loose, steering wheel had melted and there was dings and dents on every panel Inc Bonnet and roof,
No chance! Lol
got it back on friday with the new gearbox in, god its tight....second to third is mega notchy at the moment, im sure it will loosen up but it cant be rushed at the moment!
sean, if your getting a 200 it will have to be storm grey alongside the lunar :):)
that was a thought i had mate, wanted a 1.5dci but the only ones you can get for around £2k have been to the moon and back...
the £30 tax sounded ideal though!
vicky i take it thats yours on your pic, that looks the same colour as the one im looking at, its like a silvery greeny gold colour, quite nice i thought it stood out!
dont laugh guys lol, need a cheap to run and buy / insure second car while the vee is SORN'd through winter..
have spotted one online near me its a billabong 16v, i presume this is a 1.2, only concern of mine is it has a sunroof, are these known to leak or be problematic?
how much are 1.2...
wow just seen a detail thread on your FRP (very nice btw) im sure you and ali could combine skills and get the mars looking tip top! theres some minor swirling i want removed too!
Lol Jew! ;) still got his bloody standard seats taking up space! Might start a raffle haha!
I would just get the standard ones refurbed silver but it's a proper hard colour to match the oem silver,
Gally I'm from just north of Carlisle, near Gretna green mate! U handy with the detailing then?
No plans really, few front end chips on the bumper so going to get that done in winter when it's SORN'd
Also cause I want it flawless I'm gonna order up a new set of wheels for it, I did toy with doing the ones on it anthracite but not sure, maybe if I get a new set I could do them anthracite...
unfortunately i dont think i'll be at FCS guys, too much of a trek!
i was too'ing and fro'ing on the colour for a couple of weeks before i decided, but the combination of the low build numbers..only 18 made and the fact that ive never seen a mars red on the road swung the deal for me! :)...
Sean are u meaning a 200 alongside the lunar?!
To be fair the 200 is a stonking car! Can't fault it! I've always loved the gearbox in it too, very snick snick.. Might have to change more gently with the new one! It was 4th gear snychro that failed though so not like first or second as you...
Mum and dad have owned their 200 since new January 2010 and it's been Graunching into 4th for a week or so, so after a visit to the dealers it's going in on Tuesday for a new box under warranty, they said that's the 3rd one they have changed so far! Ouch!
Also worth noting is that mum and dad...
It's my third Vee mate, fourth Clio in total (172cup was the other) there's pics of them all on here from way back but I'm on my iPhone ATM, I had silver 230 number 035 which after I sold it got well and truly totalled :(
Then black gold 219 lots and lots of pics of that on here, since I sold...
After 3.5 years I've returned to clio's with v6 number 3!!
Since my last one I've owned a TT quattro sport (240) an M3 cab (e46) a tuned meg r26 and a mk5 r32 but the urge to return got too much!
So in 2 weeks time I pick up my 255 in mars red from Edinburgh, sure some on here will know...
