Well give the body shop their dues ... it is a better fit than most, and from the front angles you'd struggle to tell it apart from the real thing ;).

Howdy :D.

£10k might just about get you a higher mileage V6 Mk1 ... but it's pushing it a bit. Many of the V6 owners hang out at ... <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

V6 has a longer wheelbase than a normal Clio. Hence when people put on V6 panels the rear wheel always sits too far forward.

Averages out around 23 MPG for most ... goes lower if you thrash it and all the way up to 30 MPG or so for folk who do lots of motorway miles. It's got a lot of grunt and so you can short shift and rely on the torque when driving on normal busy british roads, and save the screaming 7krpm behind...

Have you sorted this yet James? I agree that a perspex cover would be great to show off the engine of your modified Maxi ;).

The V6 seems to be a car that petrolheads like to own once in their life ... and then being petrolheads after a year they move onto the next car on their list. Reckon it's often the way with unique cars like the Vee ... and shows up thru' the fact that some Vees have had plenty of owners. I've...

If you get proper Renault rear discs then new bearings are already pressed in so if your discs are anyway near doing (or perhaps badly rusted since the rears rust badly round the edges) might pay to do both jobs at once.

Late Mk1 ... it's got the colour coded Renault diamond boot button. Most immediate give away tho' is the Mk1 identity plate. Mk2s have cheap stick on jobbies ... and only get upto about #350! The above car is also missing the headlight washers which Mk2 has because of the Xenons.

Howdy :).

Nothing to be concerned about. The turning circle certainly adds to the experience, but it's not difficult to get used to ;). Normal car parks are fine ... you end up taking a couple of bites to get into a space (even when reversing in) but so what. When turning out of a tight junction you need...

So given the shared birthdays ... here's what I went and bought helped by the cash from Fudgey for the 172 a year ago ... And here it is a year later ... 9800 miles ... 430 gallons of 98/99 RON ... and about 100 stone chips on front made out of soft cheese later. I still look...

You traded a pink Trophy for a silver Vee ... result :D ;).

Hey ... didn't I just answer this somewhere else too ;).

I'm not holding my breath for a new V6. Creating a car like the Clio V6 costs a manufacturer lots of money ... and hence they can only justify doing so every once in a while. There's something like 15+ years between the Renault 5 Turbo and the Clio V6 for that very reason. Sure Renault could do...

Clio V6 Mk 2 too ;).

Spotted again by me today tho' I was in my bus not the Vee. The first ever Mars Red I've seen on the road and looking very good! In fact it's only the 3rd Mk2 I've seen on the road, and I must say don't V6s look cool as fcuk on the move :D. This time it was coming up the A27 out of Fareham...

In which case Mikey at Rentech is about 50 minutes straight down the A3 from you. A nice pleasant drive too.

My missus has never even been in my car. She's insured to drive it, and actually I'm telling a slight porkie since she has been in it once when she moved it 5m out of the garage. However, she refuses to get in the car with me driving it. Wonder why? :evil:

Would like to say it was me coming to take you away ... but it wasn't me :(.

Yep ... 18 Mars Red Mk2 in the UK according to the data I've seen. Ironically there are 182 of the "common" Illiad Blue Mk2s like mine ;).

Yep.

Been discussed in various threads previously ... including a picture of the damage. From the look of it, there's no reason to assume it's a dog. Fairly typical tap on the front, but being a V6 the costs quickly mount up :(. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=124890...

Yep ... and I won't tell them that it's you doing the sheep .. and then getting done by the horse :evil:.

I'm going to touch you there even more now ... to say thank you for my special delivery that arrived this morning :approve:. As expected Mr. Postie said "even more p**n Andy" :o.

Even I was invited ... and I'm old ;).

As far as I know they're the calipers of the front of a Citroen of all places! You'd probably be best off asking on v6clio.net.

Wheelbase is totally different on a V6 ... quite a bit longer. Therefore if you take proper V6 panels and stick them on a standard Clio you always end up with the rear wheels being too far forward.

Saw a Trophy about 12:30 today heading westbound near to Fareham on the M27.
