i'd get rid - stereo stickers only draw attention to the car, why tell people what stereo you have so they can come & nick it ?? (even if you don't have an alpine stereo it won't stop an idiot bricking your window) Those stickers are so 90's anyway.

Standard rallyes came on 14" white steelies. - Two of my mates had them from new, one had white & the other blue. I can tell you that fitting the standard air box back on one after the induction kit is a total pain in the back side ! You could get them in Yellow (sundance yellow) abroad...

Certainly stands out, I like !!!

Lol @ the essex - I live near Romford. I used to have a mint valver, my dads got a mk2 flame red 172 & i'm on the hunt for a mint mk1 vee:)

I don't mod, so no need.

I'd avoid it tbh, chances are it's a cat D, there is better out there for the money, if you look around.

Re: Is it just me or have most valvers Patrick - decent valvers were hard to come by four years ago, I dread to think what some of them look like now ! The thing is though, that when a minter (and I mean a minter) does turn up no one wants to pay a fair price for it, most want to pay rubbish...

I believe it does, i've never used it myself, but know of loads who have. It ought to do the trick. If your still un sure about it, google it.

RR'd @ 233 bhp:eek: I know that vee's don't make their quoted power, but 233 seems a bit down to me. The dude can't even spell clio either :rolleyes: I don't the steering wheel on it, the original bus one looks better. Other than that, love it !

I think they look rubbish tbh. I was considering getting a set for show use (when I get the car) but after seeing these, I don't like them. I like the german looking ones, they'd be ok if it was an F on the left & not the D.

Patrick - get your dad to call up fords & find out for definate, just to be on the safe side.

Whereabouts are you mate ? RR set ups usually cost a few hunderd pounds, possibly a bit more.

No problem, get that stuff & see how you get on, it should do the trick.

Not for me at all, much prefer it without them.

With a cs sticker in the rear, spill - whose is it ? I know what the colours mean :) but not on a road car though:nono: Yellow & grey hybrid

They don't look overly bad in the pics, they are not past it (in my opinion, i've seen a lot worse) I'd suggest getting some Gliptone (liquid leather) on them for a start, you can buy it from ebay, give that a try & see where you are. You have to look after leather, otherwise it just dries out...

My dad gets that all the time in his 172, he gets really annoyed. It's not just 'lesser' clio models who do it, but crappy vectras & poverty spec bm's :rolleyes:

If the seller has proof of the actual mileage on the engine thats in there, fine, if they have bills for all work done, inc cambelt change ?? (inc fitting it of engine etc) then great. Personally there is no way i'd touch one without paperwork. Bradharding - not every one who puts a willy...

Depends what your after really, if you want another hot hatch go for a 106gti or a paxo vts, or even a ph1 172 - although any one you find for 2.5k will probs be s**t or have a load of miles on it.

Clean as, love the wheels & the badges.

onwards & upwards ?? what you getting ?

Never seen a fake v6 on the road at all, only the ones on fleabay. I just wish I could find a decent mk1 vee for sale :dapprove: (please no one tell me about Newms's car -I know about it)

Re: Some wanker has smashed my windows, cost?? Have you p*ssed some one off ?? why did they just do your car over ?

I actually quite like the 197's, didn't really at first, but they have grown on me.

This maybe an obvious question, but have you put an ad in the wanted section on here ?

^ lol true, but you didn't put the link up when you posted;)

I forgot to say, most on here don't value cars that highly - if it's their mates car then they say it's worth the money. If it's not then they say it's not worth the money :rolleyes: even though their mates car might be a bad example. As said before by some one - see auto trader for a guide to...

I'd say around 6.5k

Check the service history for the engine & as said get a compression test done on it. It's been reported that williams engines can see over 200k !!! with really minimal wear. Just make sure that's it'ss been looked after. If they can't provide any history or bills or the conversion etc i'd...

Thought you had no money for car mods ?;)
