Hello, welcome and congrats on your purchase. I still remember the day I got my 182, loved every second of that car!! As said get some pictures up!!

I have the urge to buy one now as I didn't have one when I was younger. only problem now is that most are quickly rotting away!

Just go to a local exhaust place and ask them. They will be able to knock one up and fit it for a lot less than you think. Definitely worth a try.

Great work and super nice gesture @HMS Derv Destroyer. Really does go to show how amazing this place is really, much more than just a car forum, it’s occupied by real, caring, helpful people.

I’ve driven one and absolutely loved it! The gearbox is definitely great to use, the car felt tight and handled really well I thought. If only I was in the market for a new car I’d snap one up without a doubt.

I like tiff, as above felt the Plato/Needell team was good. Just despised the fact that every car he drove had to slide around a corner, even a diesel hatch!

Hello and welcome. Car looks nice.

I removed the centre silencer on mine, sounded a little louder. Might be a safer trial idea?

@cs_dave has killed so many that figure from 2017 is already out! ;p

Welcome from an ex PB owner. I regret selling mine to this day and would have it back in a heart beat. Such an amazing colour and love how it divides opinion. Look forward to your thread and photos.

Needs more pics but the beading on the one you’ve posted is impressive. Well done.

Ah yes indeed you do. :(

I thought the hook on the Petrol filler was to hang the actual cap, not keys??

I only have iPhones, but this has been speculation for years but now they’ve come out and admitted it with a feasible reason for it, people are going mad! I get it’s not great, but I’d be surprised if the android software didn’t do similar to keep phones going.

Definitely do not sell it, you WILL regret it. I regret my 182 and my first 172 sales!! Maybe look at suspension changes and some better seats?

Cheaper to buy a brand new carbon sport in a better colour!

Love that but not in that colour!! Such a beast of a car.

Headlight restoration kit too. ;)

Looks beautiful mate. Love the Turinis on it and if I’d kept mine I’d have put some on. The black bits also make it.

THats awesome! How much abarth stuff is on it? The engine isn’t far off the same apart from the turbo etc. Love the seats. Miss mine a lot as it was great fun to drive and didn’t look like anything special. Also lol at the bookface group saddo’s throwing you off. It looks better than some...

I can’t offer any advice or comment on painting but I too wish you all the best and admire your dedication to the Clio and your sons memory to get it perfect. @gally does have a good following and a lot of respect on here which is earned so maybe a nice slow trip up there could be a holiday or...

Must go this week...... not in a rush to sell..... yep makes sense, typical bookface advert.

That is a really impressive idea! Looks great and better than a shift light

I’m pretty sure the wiring will be long enough, the only thing you’d have to do is fabricate a way for it to stay in place. Shouldn’t be too hard but I don’t think it’s been done before.

How so?

If you like the combination I’d still in your situation be inclined to wait for a better spec’d model to come up. Your spending a lot of money on it and don’t want to be thinking “I wish it had this and that”

Silver 200 with silver wheel isn’t a desirable (I don’t think) combination, so when you come to sell it it will not be as standout in the market. I’d keep looking about to find one you really want with the spec you actually want.

I’m not sure why but I thought the gearbox in the 200 was geared differently and stronger? I’m also sure the 200 is more ‘economical’ due to the gearbox change. I’ve seen people change the front end of a 200 to the 197 and 197 to 200 so it does divide opinion. I prefer the 200 front end due to...

That was you?? I saw that comment.

Apparently there’s a sad story or something which is the reason for the pimp my ride spoiler. I’ll reserve judgement till I’ve watched it, but it hadn’t better be a good sad story to destroy an escort cosworth.
