I reality . I wouldn't ask a dealer what my cars worth as i'd never trade a car in . I'd sell private , problem solved . Buy a cheaper import , sell for UK car money . And yes i am a cheapskate ;)
Hair dryer , pull on the plate as your heating it up and it'll come off . You'll probably have some of the sticky pad still stuck to the car . Just warm it up and rub it with your finger and it'll come off .
They are made in Dieppe . Don't forget , other countries that have Clios drive on the right like us . Cyprus , Australia .... Obviously UK car importers source cars that are manufactured with these countries in mind and buy them before they are shipped over there .
I'm interested to know why it's worth more ? I mean my 182 has Renault locking wheel nuts same as UK cars , but mine as a better alarm than Renault fit . It has a lifetime warranty whereas the Renault alarms only have an 18 month warranty , and they do go wrong from some posts i've read :eek...
Where does it say UK car on your log book ? It doesn't mention any country on mine and it didn't on my 172's log book ?
What things are different on yours to others ??
Afaik , the only way to tell if its UK or imported is by the VIN number . My insurance company knew my 172 was an import...
No alarm fitted as standard , on entry to the UK , no lokcing wheel nuts and ecthed windows as you've stated . Other than that it's exactly the same car mate .

What a huge inconvenience warning you to put your seat belt on eh . Maybe it wouldn't be such an huge inconvenience if you were fined anywhere up to £500 for not wearing it or you had an accident and went through the windscreen ;) .
And its 6mph not 10 if you want to be pedantic :clown:
You don't need heat resistant primer or paint . If you don't laqcuer it after you've sprayed it , it'll scratch very easily . A few coats of lacquer , job done .
I remember this happening . Its only about 10 mins from me . I'm sure a couple of guys on here knew him . Such a sad and tragic waste of a young life . I bet most of us on here are guilty of doing daft things in our cars at some time or another . It just brings it home to you , how one mistake...
I'd change the filter too . I'm with DrRollo on this one . I don't really see the point in using a pump . It's alot cheaper to undue the sump plug and drain the oil ;)
Good effort mate .
Why do people think he'll be constantly repainting them ?? If they are done right they won't chip anymore than the front bumper will .
