It’s never had a ‘proper’ ceramic coating as far as I’m aware Paul. I used an Autoglym Rapid ceramic coating product about a year ago and since then it’s just been washed and finished off with Rapid Aqua wax from Autoglym. It has always beaded well but I’ve had it garaged 99% of the time and I...

Well theres a big box of random bits including a de-cat pipe, original silver door trims and engine cover, old air box and steering wheel, another radio (it’s not the original that’s currently fitted) and loads of old parts that you’d probably want to bin - for some reason I kept hold of it all...

Its unreal. The car is just another level from any other 172, 182, 197 or 200 I’ve ever driven - genuinely runs like it’s on rails! Blasted it home from York to Essex on just B roads which took a while but my god it was so much fun. I’ll never be parting with it again.

Glad you like it - torque steer is more prominent in this car than others be owned but I put that down to the tyres. The tool kit for the KW suspension is under the passengers seat. It needs a bit of fettling as the rear end can get lively when it’s driven with spirit. Might help with the...

I hear you did the deal with Karl, congrats. They’re not factory fit Recaros - I believe they’re from a Megane R26 - the same as you’d find in a Trophy. The steering wheel is lovely. I don’t think it’s mythical LY182 you refer to but it has both the cup packs and I think you’ll enjoy every...

Brilliant!! That’s really cool. Glad it’s going to a good home. If you got any questions give me a shout, but it’s a decent car and I’m sure you’ll like it 👍🏼

The AC button has a little orange LED that should illuminate when its pressed on. If it doesn’t then there’s a power issue and my guess is the fuse has probably blown. The button itself doesn’t click or have any resistance but it could be dodgy. If the LED lights up then try a re-gas 👍🏼

Looking back at my photos of the 182, I am slightly wowed by how bloody good that colour looks on it. But Alien Green on a 200 is the pinnacle IMO. The 182 was rather pampered tho, as this video my mate took on the way to York shows 😂🙄 (also note the big man staring at the fast food sign...

And I won’t be doing the same thing with the LY 182. That car, as good as it is, will not be repurchased by myself unless I have a complete mental break down or win the postcode lottery. But I must say it does look bloody fantastic 😜

I sold this AG 200 Cup in February. It was a really tough thing to do, but my finances at that time were rocky to say the least. Anyway, those of you who know this car know it’s good. Really good. IMO it is pretty much the perfect RS Clio 3. So when I heard it was back up for sale I had to...

Not quite … I spent about 4-5k on the car over the years I owned it, so just about broke even overall. But I don’t think I’ve done badly, considering I did over 20k miles in it and enjoyed every single one of them. It was the best car I’ve ever owned and will miss it massively.

Thanks for the luck, it worked a treat. Absolutely nothing wrong with the market for good cars like this one. Sold for asking price - inundated with interest. Big thanks to PH for promoting the advert.

Haha no. 8k is undervaluing this car… and what I’m currently asking for isn’t that far off what you thought it was worth back in August

Ahh, those nice guys at Pistonheads have done a little article about my car advert. Very kind of Matt to write such nice things. Now I just need a genuine buyer to make me a decent offer. It deserves to go to a proper (and I hate this word) enthusiast who’ll enjoy and care for it like I have...

Yep really good of Matt at Pistonheads to do an article about it - he’s said some nice things. And thanks for saying that. I don’t really like writing ads and it takes me ages but it makes it all worthwhile when people notice the effort. I haven’t done a write up for the LY 182 yet and...

Yeah it’s got 19mm spacers and Bilstein coilovers… it does sit really nicely 👍🏼 He sent me a message on here a couple of weeks ago and although I wasn’t planning to sell, now might actually be the right time to let it go. I’ve had a good chat with him and he’s a genuinely nice bloke so feel...

Cheers for the replies 👍🏼 It’s nice to know who else has previously owned it @boffey @N0ddie … I’m sure you guys had fun in it too. Very sad to sell but it’s never looked better and I think it’s now time for someone else to enjoy it.

Cheers, I’ll have a look at the one on collecting cars. Any thoughts on this @Gus ? I think you used to own this car (DF59EHY) a few years back…

I’ve been approached by someone who wants to buy my car. It’s a 2009 Alien Green Cup with 77k and FSH. It’s immaculate… got Recaros, loads of work done recently and some nice upgrades are fitted… Akrapovič exhaust, Bilstein suspension, Ktec induction and remap, Michelin Cup 2’s, retrimmed...

I’m sure it’s still as awesome as when you owned it… think another guy had it between us but only for a short time. Your pics are amazing by the way, especially those taken at Blyton Park… did it see much track action when you owned it? The current agreed value with my insurers is £10k but...

I was wondering what my car might be worth (for insurance purposes obviously 😉) so i Googled ‘alien green Clio’ and stumbled across this post… If DF59EHY was your car @Gus, I am the lucky guy who brought it from Ktec for that ‘over inflated’ price. And still own it to this day. I actually love...
