On order... and a cup spoiler! Haha
The dealer I got it from happens to be a very good mate of mine an told me about the issues as it recently happened to their own demo trophy. I was told to invest in a trickle charger with less than 4amp output which I already have due to owning bikes.
I didn’t until today when I posted a pic of it on Instagram, some lad called olliecurlywirly claimed to be the current custodian of it. I did ask how it was running but didn’t get a reply.
Yes, it’s not a drivers car... it’s fast, looks good but show it a corner at Speed and it wants to kill you.
This is also another very good reason! 😂
For those who have not seen the write up or rendering...
For those that don’t know me I had a boosted Monaco for 3 or so years which I built into a fast road setup with a few choice mods.
I’m currently getting from a to b in a BMW M140i Shadow edition...
Fully stock 350ish bhp and 370 ft lbs, BMW were very loose with the figures as many stock ones...
Well here it is... The clios replacement...
Picked her up at lunch time from my local BMW dealer...
Only pictures I got so far but as the badge says it’s a 3dr M140i Shadow Edition... 3 Litre, Straight Six, Twin scroll turbo... 345bhp and 370lbft...
I will get some better pics ASAP.
Thank you, the lad who got it was well chuffed with it, he s#it his pants on the test drive though.
I doubt it’ll be a Renault Sport atm but it’s not off the table as yet.
I appreciate everyone's comments regarding my 172 and I think its been covered well...
I have put a lot of money and time to make this car what it is and it is a very niche market when it comes to selling it, I know I wont get back what I put into it.
I have advertised it at what I would like to...

How has this not sold yet, Thought it would have been snapped up??
Probably the last few pictures I’ll ever take of Monaco...
Sold the Turinis and speedlines making a fair wedge of cash so back rolling oem wheels.
Tbh I quite like them, once plate is off the car it will be listed anywhere and everywhere to get it sold so I can order the new toy...
Not done a lot with the car since the sub install a while ago, mainly due to work reasons but yesterday saw the return of the tango Turinis with the winter tires. I’ve also removed the front 16mm spacers as I was getting serious scrub with these wheels before when I had them on.
2118s were...
