Good luck in the auction! I think it should do well, but I also don't think the 197/200 has the following of the 172/182 in my opinion. If it doesn't sell, I will be in touch.

Was fun attending my first Cliosport meet in about a decade. Shame I couldn't bring my Trophy along, but nice to get my photos posted ;) Cheers, Rob

That's weird, I got a Chrome notification for this - pretty sure Cliosport c.2003 did not offer such technology. So thanks @Gally and thankyou @terryc101 for considering it worthy of this thread (I know it is, but I try and be self effacing occasionally). Strangely, my missus only swapped it...

Bit of an update as a year has gone very quickly! The car now has most of the things discussed: the Sabelt steering wheel, custom Bilsteins by Pure Motorsport (with top mounts) and a half cage fitted by Mark Fish Motorsport. I've not been too precious with it, but I ordered a spare set of...

Had it a few months now!

Great video - is videography your trade then?

Nice to see there are a few mad folk out there. I started a thread on creating - effectively - brand new 182s! I've had a lot of interesting conversations with people, and there is a lot of enthusiasm out there... so you're definitely not alone. I have actually been mad enough to buy a couple...

Excellent photos. I made it too, albeit on the Sunday. Here are a few of mine. www.instagram.com/rob__fenn

I'm going! Will be good to meet you guys - will be my first Cliosport meet in about a decade! Check out my Instagram - I'll be taking my camera so your cars will likely make it on there. https://www.instagram.com/rob__fenn/

Funnily enough, I own a Huracan Performante and forged carbon was something I was thinking of as making a feature point. Is your guy UK based? I know of a very good place in the USA, and am getting some bits for my Lamborghini because a) I want more carbon and b) to assess it's quality. Thanks...

This looks fantastic!

Nice driveway! I am picking my 70th Anniversary V8 Defender soon - can't wait! The UP is a funky looking thing. For me, the 182 is a better base. But just as importantly, it has credibility and - for me personally - it's a nostalgia thing as much as anything.

Totally get that, but this isn't designed for me people with one car - it's not meant to a case of "I'd rather have a...".

Already on the case for this, BTW. The Recaro Trendline people refer to is actually a Style Trendline. There is a Style Topline that can be specified - from Recaro - with ventilation and heating. It also just so happens it comes in the same pattern that Renault specified for the Trophy. ?

Funny you mention the orange dials @Rob , where it's getting darker earlier now I drove the Trophy the other night and smiled at that warm orange glow within the otherwise pitch black cabin (forgot that the heater dial isn't illuminated). I personally love the nostalgia, and personally don't...

BTW, picked up November's EVO Magazine today and the Trophy was put against the new Fiesta and came out top...

What's the multi-quote bit all about? Must be getting old as I can't quote people! Perhaps this is the wrong demographic then. When I was a member, of course the 182 was a brand new car which people were paying (£15k?) for, and then going out and spending a couple of grand on. For me, this is...

For me, the Clio 172 / 182 is the essence of what a hot hatch is. It's practical, but crucially small - perfect for B Roads. Nowadays, everything has got bigger, heavier and - of course - turbocharged. Right now, the closest thing seems to be the Fiesta ST (conveniently, with 182bhp), a low...

So who are the ones with low miles? I wanna see some pics!

Great build! How do you find the Quaife; how much difference does it make on lap times and tyres?

Thanks.. .what age is it then? If you could paste a link that would be great! I'm guessing it could be this one... ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HeadLamp-Switch-Stalk-With-Horn-and-Rear-Fog-Light-for-Renault-Clio-Sandero/162586009073?fits=Model%3AClio&hash=item25dae19df1:g:qCgAAOSwh1paKni6

Found it, thanks! Don't suppose anyone knows the correct part number for the PH1 stalk I would need for the horn?

So a bit of an update... Track day now done! After picking up the car from Two Techs, I went to get new tyres fitted. You can see how obvious the leaking is... Nevertheless, with the track day booked I decided to crack on. Here's a photo of those nice tyres! On the track day itself, all...

Currently nothing, but am starting a car storage and events business! So first thing I have got done is a bit of a detail. I wasn't that bothered about the outside, as it's already a shed, but it was nice to see the headlights returned to their former glory! The main thing now is there is no...

Nice one Sash! Some learner car that...

Sounds interesting. My exhaust is vibrating at the moment so would be up for a set.

Thanks for welcomes and tips so far. Do any of the track day tyres fit the 16" Turini? I don't really want another set of wheels in the garage! I have ordered the Sabelt / RenaultSport steering wheel and will use the guys above to order the essentials for track in that case. Managed to get a...

Hi Folks - Englebert here. For all who remember, an absolute Cliosport legend. For those who don't, an utter nobody. It must have been around 12 years since I was last in a Clio (an Iceberg Silver PH2 172, in case you were wondering) and a similar time since I finally clicked away from Off...

Stunning photos there mate!

There were two PH2 Extremes, the I and II. The former had a blue/green interior and was better spec; i.e. a jazzy version of the Dynamique. The Extreme II was based on the Authentique and the interior had red accents instead. It was aimed to being more budget, and was then replaced by the the...
