Ok, sold my RT in 03 and bought the VTS as a stop gap sort of.
Im now just about in the position of being able to afford a Sport Clio.
I went into Gateshead Renault yesterday and none came up on the search except a few pre reg 182s.
She phone me back later to say they were getting an 02...
I got my first car in 99.
I was 22 with no no-claims, driving since 17, 3points.
Fully comp on a £3500 RT (back then it cost that) was £800 for the first year, £700 second year, then £500 3rd and £400 4th with no points by then.
Total rip off.
For a grand you can now pick up a decent RT...
Joel they are factory fit on RSis for your information.
Nice little car but yeah Id lose the tow bar unless you need it.
I should say due to the thread title my african clio, I expected like, a zebra striped colour scheme or something lol. I just forget we have international members on here...
Jurassic Park!
Im after a 172 within a few months but am so tempted to push the boat out a bit and get a brand spanking 182.
What colour did ye get and did ye get the Cup packs? Lol youve just updated your avatar

My second hand VTS had the multilok fitted so that the car has to be in neutral to lock it (supposed to be so that you lock it in first gear).
Yet still I start with depressed clutch through force of habit.
Sometimes when waiting in traffic or waiting to pick someone up, I still find myself...
Mate, we no friends no more
<<-----------
(lol nice pics mate)
(nice number plates too - like mine, totally plain, nothing to detract attention from the car)

Blurry and over exposed (or were you going for arty shots?!).
Nice looking RT all the same.
Colour code your mirrors. Makes the world of difference.

16v for a Citroen Saxo VTS cost £6.08 each, thats with the sticky back still attached.
I often see them on ebay as above for £8-12.
Even the ones clearly stolen (no sticky back) make £6 or so.
I had my 16v badges nicked by some skip rat. On a Corsa now if its the guy I suspect.
Cost a fair bit from Renault too.
Isnt that seller Mike172Sport off here? ;)
Besides, you dont have to buy them from there. No ones making you.

No surprise to see Halfords sign nearby.
Tw**ful.
Ridiculous rear bumper, skirts and ludicrous spoiler.

Ah, I remember when my RT (pics on profile) left the street. I had a lump in my throat. Loved it to bits and thought Id really miss it.
Truth is the VTS has been so good, Ive not looked back for a second.
Yeah dont get me wrong. For what they are they pretty good. Certainly more responsive, economical and refined than older 1.2 engines.
Its just around my area there are loads of tarted up 1.2 Clios, Puntos etc being driven around as if they are rockets. Thrashing them to within and inch of...
^^ I agree, Ive seen this in the flesh and the blue is really vibrant.
Subtle yet still aggressive. Tasteful and not ott.
No lexus lights, no sunstrips or stickers.
Nice one.
Cruising along past Gateshead stadium, along Felling by-pass and towards Boldon.
Two up - male driver and younger male passenger.
Looked fanstastic. I spotted the other mk2 low spec Clios around you and made yours look all the more wicked.

Anyone?
