That is a crazy low noise limit. I thought Combe was strict. Although I am sure it was so Merlin Motorsport could sell mufflers at silly mark up on the day.
However it looks like a proper nice Clio and looked after. Do like this a lot. Wish I had the time, space and patience to build a Mk1, I...
Anyone seen the lad on the CSOC Facebook page who literally only said “sending these two to the crusher tomorrow” with a picture of an Iceburg and Odessey Ph1 with no explanation. Everyone is asking for a price and he isn’t replying. If it’s the Odessey blue one I have seen around High Wycombe...
There are two on the Facebook market place, one looks decent, the other looks a bit gash. A bit too far away for me to go and look at, still working away in the week
@Coops Turbo the ones in my old one were good if the guy breaking it still has them. Might have to do a search on the Facebook page to find the initial advert.
It sounds nice then? Got a video of it?
I want to get a stainless system for mine but not entirely sure what - want some more noise as the 6 cylinder engine sounds sweet. Will be going to Infinity Exhausts as they did a good job on my old Clio's and Octavia's exhaust (Clio have manifold back...
I’ve been looking at wheels and they are mega money. I’m after a set of 18” Style 32’s and in struggling to find a set at a reasonable price. I’m used to cheap French cars!!
Nooooo. Grey leather is nice! These are mine. Although I have been told this interior and the M-tec steering wheel was a rare combination from factory.
Especially as the ones you posted look like in good condition.
May have missed it but what engine is in yours?
Of course I am! Was going to look at the flammer I posted the other day but I’ve had to pay for a holiday this month and my Skoda is in the garage and the BMW needs a new windscreen so never did. I should really get the BMW sorted first and the Skoda in tip top order so if I need to sell it I...
He initially it was worth £2k as he changed the belts and dephaser which I thought was a joke. Then put it for £1500 which I thought was better and people were still shocked at the price for that mileage. So I assume he wasn’t getting any luck and didn’t want to lose money on it so decided to...
Not the best news being made redundant, am sorry about that.
TBH this is kind of the spec I am after. All the nice upgrades and the Exclusive seats are no where in sight! If you do consider selling let me know.
Makes me wonder if I under valued mine when I sold it as there was some tasy parts...
On the old BMW's I've worked on I found them a delight to work on as they are simple and logical, and being a longitudinal engine really easy to remove.
Glad this one is being saved :up:
I have storage for the interior and wheels for future value. But don’t want the hassle of doing it. Rather have a red or blue one without the interior swap.
I heard Renault planned to sell the exclusive in more numbers but could only find 172 people that liked the interior enough to buy it.....
My thinking exactly.
I’ve just tried to work out if I can go look at it but the world doesn’t want me to 😞 I have zero time pretty much all of January. However never say never, I might work it out somehow as this is exactly the thing I am after. Standard, looked after, little bit...
That would explain the nice looking 205’s in the pictures! Yeah the add is fine and honest, just a little too much. If I wasn’t away with work all week I would be going to have a look.
Sorry it’s been a long day!

Also says standard but looks like it has a bucket seat for the driver.
Just seen a flame red Ph1 on Pistonheads. £2500. Seems a bit steep considering lack of history. Also I recognise it from somewhere but can’t remeber where, anyone know it?
Still on the look out for one to replace my Octavia....
My non-sport I had was awful for this if I opened the door too soon. The Ph1 172 was a lot better, although the alarm has gone off whilst driving it after about 2 mins of opening it, getting in and then setting off. Looked liked I stole it. Difficult to turn off as it wouldn't respond to the...
I like your battery mod for jumping it. As the battery in my E34 is under the back seat there is a positive terminal under a flap under the bonnet then just use a bolt for the negative. Might have to do what you’ve done as the top mount bolts are tiny to get a good grip on it.
Also a right faff...
^^^ This.
They put the wrong colour interior in it. The wheels I could cope with but the first thing I would do is swap that interior for a standard Ph1 one. Obviously keep the awful interior for when they go up in value and revert it back to standard. The colour is really nice and suits it...
Green and yellow like the Laguna!! Will have to go gold alloys and a Nescafé sticker too... You cannot to wrong with a bit of BTCC-ness. Big wing also compulsory.....
