Welcome mate. Nice little cars RTs. Word of warning, few people on here (including me) like modded cars. What the heck, let me turn over a new leaf... lol Its ok but Id definetly put the standard bumper back on. That one is too OTT for the car. Makes it look too wide and garish from the...

Coming across as patronising, pedantic and picky is usually my job. Someone else is doing it on this thread. Post at the top of this page shows that. (Thats my 2p worth. Ill leave the bairns to fight.)

Spotted yesterday (Monday 23rd) one mk2 Flame Red 172 gunning it down Newcastle Central motorway towards Toon. HN** C** And later same night, another Flame Red mk2 172 giving it large past me towards South Shields past the Lakeside Inn, Jarrow. Y*72 F** Anyone?

An extreme example given to simplify a point. To take it literally? WTF? Like a spike would ever make it into production. Besides, my lass sits behind me sometimes. Id be paranoid as f.

Nice. Smart little cars are RTs.

Isnt it a Citroen C5 that has some sort of vibration in the seat if it detects you veering from side to side, like when youre nodding off. Excellent idea. Why not have some sort of spike up the jacksy if you drive to fast (lol). This could work in conjuction with radar that detects you...

Ill have to get my ass down to the next one. How come theyre always Durham or more southern though? Why not up Toon somewhere?

Isnt it something like 3mm lower?

I remember all those ones where (forget who the pics were of) someone was keep having his face changed with Jeremy Clarkson and was photoshopped into all manner of folk, even Darth Maul iirc. They cracked me up.

i get it all the time. even my passenger on the other side of the car has heard the crack sound when i touch the door. ive been getting some nasty ones lately. as youre getting out, try pressing the back of your leg on the sill, you only get a very slight shock as your jeans insulate you to...

I get VTR drivers doing it all the time once they realise I am in a VTS.

Ive read on here loads of people using velcro. Never even thought of that before. I personally prefer screws. Make sure the glue on the velcro is strong though.

Bloody hell, like something ye see on tv rather than for real (you know what I mean). Hope ye get it sorted and they catch the feckers and get medieval on their ass. Really sorry to hear mate.

ebay. a lot of plate makers on there.

Look pretty tasty which says a lot coming from me.

I colour coded the mirrors on my old RT and put a phase two grille on. Declared with elephant as exterior decorative changes. Im with you CupCake. Falling on deaf ears Im afraid. Theyll learn the hard way.

Cheers guys. Ive just been to see the 02 172 Ive mentioned in the first post. Really nice. 48k miles though and they want £8500. Too high and too much. They would give 12months warranty but I have to think how long Ill keep it. Ideally, Id spend £9000-9500 on an 03/53 172 with < 20k...

To be honest though, youre crazy insuring a performance car third party. As a desirable car, its far more likely to have an attempted break in. If someone rives your locks in a failed attempt at theft, youll have to fix it. Third party wont cover that. If you crash it, easily done in a fast...

Have a read ofhttp://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=5&TopicID=160649&PagePosition=1&ThreadPage=1 this thread Ive just posted. First Alternative gave me a good quote.

(This is not about elephant but bare with me its about First Alternative) Ive been with elephant for the past 3 years as theyve always been the cheapest (thats after adding my mother as second driver). Last year, with 5yr ncb, no points or claims, they wanted £550 for my VTS (bad area). I...

Mint as matey, happy youre happy. Cant wait for the day I can have such a big smile.

Lol, well yeah I have thought of this, but you dont know what Im like.... Call me crazy but Id feel like it was always his. Normally when you buy second hand you dont know the owner. I want to feel like its mine from day one. Ive been after a hot Clio for so long, I want it to feel like mine...

182_blue, like you told me, dont read them then! Did ye notice though, how I wasnt the only one thinking polishing is all thats ever discussed lately? My mate has just been around in his 03 172 which hes trading in for an Impreza wrx in two weeks. I had a quick drive of it, and while it...

I like Cups and nearly bought a pre reg one last year. I just didnt think it was much different to the VTS. Similar equipment and the VTS performance was much slower at all. I love the way they look but want all the luxury items that come with a 172. Think Im definetly heading for a nearly...

Thanks. Yeah I do love the VTS. Fast, very light and nimble, does everything I need. Just it doenst quite have the feel good factor for me personally. Always liked Clios though. Spec, looks, image. I already have some money saved but dont want to touch it. I should still be able to save...
