So, today I went to collect the Clio, today I returned on the same train that took me 😂 Alternator issues, I knew it was at the garage but they had assured the dealer it'd be done before the afternoon. Thanks to Euro car parts sending 2 wrong alternators and not being able to get the...

Going to have to get to grips with paint correction to get it that mint, will invest in decent cleaning/polishing equipment for sure. Really looking forward to spending too much time and money on it 😂

Looked around at prices and whatnot, really cant afford it all in the period I have before belts need doing. As much as I'd love to, think it will have to wait. Stag weekend to pay for as well as other things :coldsweat: @Pearce that's so clean! Shame about all the ph2 stuff on it :wink: Does...

haha, I can see where this is going already 😂 Could I smash cams in now without getting a remap? So at least cams are in ready for ITB's etc? or will it run shitty without remap? What cams are best for road use? Where do you guys recommend going for the work? And @Chi what haven't...

Then I might aswell get ITB's too.... 😂 Also the story of my life, its how the polo tended to go lol! But no, I shall resist for now, that can all come later on. Possibly diamond for the belts, not too far from me and are forum sponsors so seems only right. Everything will get done...

Cheers @PP172 Yeah, if I remove either I'll be keeping them stored in the garage. Think I'd be stupid to get rid of any of it. Cant help but look at those wheels and think they look like halfords specials haha. The OZ's suit the car so much more, unsure on a colour for them yet. Silver or a...

They found out a problem with the alternator so had to put off collecting. Going tomorrow now. And yeah, I found your thread earlier. Have shown it to Jon :up:

After making the difficult decision to part with my polo (of 7 years) I decided a Clio sport was the direction I'd be taking. At 1st I wasn't sure weather I wanted a Ph1 or a Ph2, but thanks to @Phase1sr build thread, it was clear a Ph1 was the ONLY way to go. I was won over by titanium...

I'll try and get over to this, need to check what I'm working.

@dmallett Your car is one of the reasons I'm now here and collecting a Ph1 tomorrow haha! Friends with the previous owner, maybe who you bought it off? Jon Shilling? Nice to see it kicking about on here anyway, looking good still :)

The clio is my 'next' car However after the clio.... hopefully a Porsche! Not sure on which, i need to save (lots) for a 912 or something of the same era.

An actual exclusive. Love the colour, just cant say the same about the interior and wheels. Luckily that's easily fixed. I'm already shopping for interior and wheels, not bought it yet :smile:

A deposit has been left! Looks like its time guys, viewing something 'exclusive' tomorrow ;)

Saw this last weekend! Thing sounds incredible, just a shame its not coming from a ph1 ;) haha

Haha! And here's me changing to a clio because it's more sensible.

Nothing decent in Wolverhampton is why haha.

haha, I can't take that seriously. sorry Original colour and wheels are standard as on a G40. I've been into polos for many years, I know its worth what it's up for :) I could sell the engine and suspension setup for more than a grand alone ;) Thanks tho :up:

ahh decent! Might head over there in the polo before it goes, looks decent!

Where is that? looks awesome... Curious as to where the road goes too lol! Oh and hi all :up:

That's what it's all about man! Think I'd rather something that's not too mint, id be too scared of driving it otherwise haha. Ebay link to the polo... can actually see the add on there unlike clubpolo. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171601841532?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171601841532?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649 GWAARRNNNN, BUYY IITTT!

Decent! Defo gonna consider that, looking to be an expensive year, 2015 haha. Just realised too, I was looking at your ph1 thread when I 1st came on here, also an inspiration :hearteyes:

Yeah I've realised that. ££££'s spent only to see like a 20bhp increase, forget that lol. Induction and exhaust/de-cat are my only plans tbf. I've seen people fit a 182 4 branch, worthwhile or?

Yeah! I'm paying Chi a visit after Chrsitmas as he seems to have a collection of phase 1's. Just need the polo gone asap. Scott's ph1 has been a mad inspiration, made me completely discard ph2's. My original plan was to get a clio, do a couple of choice mods and leave it be... but my track...

Buy it then ;) haha! Cheers man! I already have a list the length of my arm for what i want to do to a clio when i get one. Cant wait to get started, wish I had the same motivation for the polo still :/

Loving all the data on that @Dr Jekyll Very interesting.

I bloody love this thing! The attention to detail is insane, its so simple yet so perfect. Massive inspiration, its made me dismiss ph2's completely in my hunt for a 172. @Chi just let me have yours now man haha!!

More powerful than a standard G40 :wink: haha. It doesnt mess about, power to weight it's not that far off a 172. Also rammed with a LOT of OEM extras. Dealer fit leccy windows, leather G40 wheel to name the rarest. Custom made coilovers, polybushes everywhere, its very high spec for a polo...

@samuels It's up for 2.2K but in reality i only expect to get around 1.7K I'd take like 1.5 if i could get it gone quick.

haha, it's had lots of transformations in that time, i guess thats one of the reasons ive had it so long. 2 engine swaps in that time, so its felt like a new car twice over haha.
