Much lighter than the standard bonnet ... and suprisingly resilient too!

Trouble I seem to have is getting it in :p Not helpful I know ... but its almost Xmas and flippancy is rife!!

Im hoping with V6 that once order is placed (and they can prove to me that it is) that it will appear when they (and Renault) say it will. Not like there can be much contention on supply when theyre all to order!?

Another good suggestion 172gal ... tho being "new" does inflate the price :cry: £23.9k vs. £21.5k

Yep ... pre-reg doesnt bother me at all! When/if I come to sell the V6 in 3+ years time then itll wont matter one bit!

dazraffan ... them being? ;) Tick one of ... - look4mycar - buymynewcar - new-car-discount

Mark ... great minds ... just sent them an email to ask them what theyll do one for :) Theyre the best on 182 prices ... so lets hope that theyll be equally good on V6 prices! Gave them the target ... which curiously has increased by £300 since I registered an interest yesterday :confused...

Mark ... had looked at new-car-discount but they dont have V6s listed, and havent yet called any of the companies who dont have V6s showing to see what they can do. Spent some time looking at 182 prices to get ranking of sites to then extrapolate to possible V6 prices. Supply on V6 should be...

look4mycar.com or buymynewcar.com If so ... how did it all go? Trying to weigh up the extra savings vs. the comfort factor of a bigger broker. Spelling mistakes on web pages concern me!

Not xenons ... strong "traditional" lights with an excellent lense! Means that theyre less dispersed than traditional lights with straight reflector ... and hence look meaner :) Nik and his bloody Xenons ... shone clean thru fUbArs car on the way back from Xmas meal ;)

Big thanks guys!!

Hmmm ... so can you push the seat all the way to the back of the runners? Is that you then cant recline them as much (if you could get to the lever)? :confused: Im just over 6 foot tall, and drive my 172 with the seat full back and slightly reclined. When I first got my 172 I felt closer to...

So looks like Im going to order my V6 thru a broker and so is going to be difficult for me to get a test drive. Doesnt really bother me since I know that I fit comfortably in my 172 which leads to my quick question ... Is the seat travel on a V6 then same / better / worse than 172? My...

Indeed thought your member password was given to you when you joined ... so unless you changed it itll be something cryptic involving where you live.

Well ... Renault have got to get their margins somewhere ... and a stick on badge saves them £5 or something. Glad to hear the V6 does have suitable sporty pedals :D

Hmmm ... dont like the sound of this. Have always like the drilled aluminium pedals on my 172 ... and was expecting the same on the V6 :( What exactly are the pedals like now? Metal painted black?

£5k is the very bottom end that youll get one for ... will be higher mileage. Heres the lowest Ive seen yet ...

Actually its no ... no .. and no Air Con but no digital climate ... no traction control ... no ESP

However missus has now decided that she cant handle the lack of luxury on the cup model so has gone for the full plush seated, cozy toed, raincovered model ;) http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1103105845__Buggy.jpg

Well theyll have probably paid £0.5-1k less than a cheap UK car. So reckon £8k is about right. Armed with the AA figure plus the fact that its an import, reckon youre well set to tell them why £8999 is the wrong answer ;) Plenty of them around mate especially with people upgrading to 182s...

Personally wouldnt worry about it being an import - as long as it EU warranty will be OK etc.. However, its overpriced ... theyd have paid less with it being pre-reg import and that should show thru to what you pay!

LOL ... get it now :)

... which is why Renault UK only trust him with the small cars I believe :o

CS Member ... ... and Renault brand manager ;)

What you need is a crap loan car for a week or two ... reminds you just how fast, powerful and good your Clio is ;) Reason Im getting a V6 isnt because my 172 isnt fast enough. 172 still puts a smile on my face whenever I cane it. However, V6 has the looks, sound, rarity, and performance...

Sorted ... http://www.twoleftfeet.co.uk/acatalog/Cosatto_Dixie.htmlhttp://www.twoleftfeet.co.uk/acatalog/Cosatto_Dixie.html ;) Slower to 60 than a 172, but will still have it round the twisties :p And the real answer is that I have 3 kids ... and so the push chair will only need to go in the...

Under the bonnet of course ... youve all see Top Gear ;)

Great ... big thanks Mike :D My seat will be as far back as possible since Im just over 6 foot tall... thats why I might as well get the V6 since nobody can fit behind me in the 172 anyway ;)

Can a V6 owner do me a big favour? I need to know the exact dimensions of the storage area behind the seats in front of the engine. So if somebody could get out their tape measure please? :) Why? Well based on a picture (that I think James posted) reckon I can get a folding buggy across...

Right then ... no point worrying ... whats done is done ... BUT I aint paying for everybody just because I was at the front ;);) Time to try to go to sleep ... thought Im feeling pretty wired still ... must sleep must sleep.
