i saw one on a car that was for sale before i got my v6, they got it custom made i think.
no idea on costs etc but may be quite expensive if custom made!!
i have tried it with both of the covers off, it is good, really loud, you can hear all the clunks and clinks and the engine sounds like the clio race cars will sound. Its not something you could put up with for 2 long though!
i drove up the street and back and i was glad to get the covers back...
hi guys and gals,
just wondering what you lot think i should do, i had always wanted a v6 and finally bought one after my 172 a year ago but i had always planned to buy a mk2 at some point. My question is should i sellup and make the move to a mk2? is this really worth it and if so what can i...
here here, this forum is a joke when someone mentions v6 everyone looks out the copy of evo magazine that said it handles a bit dodgy and starts quoting from it!!
i personally drive mine quite sensibly but when i do open it up i would find it hard to get to the limit without thinking oh im...
my vee is my 2nd car and i try to leave it in the garage as much as i can in the winter but as the suns out i might take it out the day and leave a few mm of michelin on the country roads!!! i just cant resist to try it with the engine covers off!!! haha.
yeah i know what u mean mike, doesnt really make it worth the effort when i would still have the 17s in the garage collecting dust, ive just shelled out for 2 rear michelins aswell!!!!
yeah wrx, 50quid aint bad like, might go for mk2 rear spoiler aswell.
lightweight 19s would be good mike, i...
i agree lads, im gonna do the rear light and clear indicators, i dont know if the mk2 wheels will come along, dont fancy buying them new, maybe someone out there will bin another v6 and i can buy the wheels!!!!
i know clarkie, never had a chance to take you for a run in it though!!! when are...
there was a really good thread on here, looking after your clios paintwork, tells you how to do it and was order to use the stuff in.the gut who did it knows his stuff!!!!
yeah they are stocking everything as far as i could see, the only thing they didnt have was the meguiars wash mitt, had to get a halfords one. Im in the borders, my local Halfords is Berwick-Upon-Tweed.
Yeah i cant wait to give it a try out, i did a small spot on the tailgate and the shine...
just been to my local halfords today to see if they had started stocking the above, i ended up spending £60 on the stuff, i was like a kid in a sweet shop.
i went straight home and washed the vee with new shampoo and wash mitt and then went over it with the clay bar and quick detailer, didnt...
i agree, defo people with small balls and journalists who think they cant handle well, they are a bit floaty but once you get used to the car you can push them more and more!!!
they just twitch a bit when the rear tyres are shot (which happens alot!):D
i would bite their hand off at that...
if mine are going to go i hope it is still under warranty!!!!
i drive a 1.3 fiesta during the week and keep the vee for weekends so i know how you must feel bailey!!!;)
i think it helps keep the clio special if you dont drive it for a while then get back into it and nearly spin at the 1st...
hope this isnt a bad omen for every1 with a vee!!! mines has done 14k and touch wood no probs so far, still in warranty so im not 2 worried, evry1 on here keeps going on about the coils, is this a common fault with them aye?
bailey, my v6 is number 401, did they make 500??
cheers mike, think i will go for mk2 lights, possibly mk2 spoiler, these can all be put back to standard!!
im defo gonna go for a stainless zorst when its needed, does the bmc induction kit perform well??
those comp look the nuts, might have to consider a set of those!!! 9 x 18 on the...
dont think so, the only thing i would like would be mk2 wheels (18") but they will be like hens teeth i think!
could do what v6ing did and put mk2 rear spoiler and/or lights!!?? I will put a stainless steel zorst on when/if the original goes.
what you guys think??

looks like a fault when the car was built, something has probably got in behind the kit when it was bonded on in the factory, it will have gradually worsened with water and the elements, should definately be covered though!!!!!
u have a very good case, prob just needs refitting and a bit o paint!!
