After 6 years away from RS Clio's i am back with a model i have always wanted a 172 cup. The car has 95k with some service history and from this it seems rear brake problems that come up at every MOT and the Front off side lights seem to be faulty.
I'm not 100% sure on the alloys tbh so may...
JMS and cliosport badges in the window, looked really nice and sounds amazing nice tone to the exhaust, gave it a bit of beans from maplins roundabout heading towards Lee Green.
Very nice car.
Grove Park yesterday early afternoon, had illuminous green side strips and front grill, and a rear plate offset to the bottom right of the bumper with with MK1 Nissan micra style No plate lights.
IMO i thought it looked terrible, a complete mess.
Had some interest in this, its on here and pistonheads (link below) and the same ad on Gumtree, thinking of maybe putting it on Ebay at the end of this week. Wont be using it as of next monday.

What's peoples thoughts on the car the price and the Ad?
This is my mates brothers phase 1 Clio Sport 172,
I can vouch that the car is Genuine and drives fantastically well, Apart from at low speeds now the PS has given up.
He has now got a Vauxhall Astra as he wants something sensible so his reason for selling is genuine also, can have 2 cars, i...
After buying my 2nd clio 172 in Monaco Blue, which needs a bit of work doing on it to bring it up to my standards, i thought i'd attempt a project thread. I have a few plans for the car which will follow in due course.
So heres the car, 2002 registered, with 83k.
First thing i did after...
Behind me in mottingham yesterday, made me realise how much i love the old school hot hatches! Think it may of been a Raider due to the colour, anyone on here?
After about a year and a half after selling my clio 172, and a few cars i decided i would buy another RS Clio one night while trying to sleep, the next day i found my self on a train to Milton Keynes to go and view one that had come up for sale during that night and was going pretty cheaply. (it...
Quiet a good read in this edition, they test the Old 172 cup against the 200 cup, the 172 came from Club GT and the 200 their own test fleet.
Anyway they put both on the track an the 200 was 2secs quicker.
Anyone else read this, what are your thoughts?
Parked next to it as below, when leaving a bloody silver 182 was parking next to the blue 182, 3 in 3 spaces lol must be a rare sight! apart form at meets, i almost jizzed!
not sure if its the pic angle but think mine looks abit lower, might be the spoiler actually, oh an the 182 exhausts...
Yesterday up Blackheath Village about 8:30pm, looked in mint condition, pictures aint the best.
Personally i couldn't leave my car with any of the seats forward drives me mad. OCD lol
...Because i hardly drive it anymore, took it for an hours drive an i love it lol, now i dont know what to do again! i just feel its going to waste sitting around most of the time!
about 10:30am, was like a dark pastal green colour, never seen the colour before, middle aged guy driving turned off at the sidcup turn off. anyone know if this is a rare colour?
Also see a Silver 172 in Welling about 2pm female driving.
on bearing road yesterday about 6pm,Zenons on lol it was light out. One hot looking blondie driving!
also see a blue 172 Cup looked mint in Lewisham yesterday too around 2pm.
A couple of time now while travelling at high speeds and having to brake pretty suddenly the back end feels extremely lively (like its wiggling from left - right) to be honest its pretty damn scary too and im wondering if its a potential problem or just a charactristic of the car.
Also i have...
Had this fitted to my car on friday, apologies for the poor quality videos but its better than nothing.
flush with bumper, petruding slightly due to being hot.
not a 0-60 attempt.
Basically im due an upgrade on my Mobile phone, however as im on a 12month contract (since 1999, never missed a payment) with an upgrade option after 9 months.
O2 are saying i cant upgrade to another phone unless i change to an 18month contract! and that there are no phones available to me to...
Just noticed that my digital temp gauge (by the radio display) is fixed at 44 degrees permanantely even when we had all the snow, anyone know how i can rectify this problem?
Thanks
Well the car was frosted over and after a few mins of full Maxi heat i decided to lower both windows to clear the water off, the passenger window made a loud clunk and wouldnt go up, i can hear the motor going but its missing something.
I thought it could be a clip, however surely the window...
Basically the car wont start, i put the key in the ignition and wait for the dash lights to go out, on turning the key i get nothing just a click from the engine and all the dash lights come back on, including a green one in the bottom right corner that flashes.
Also the central locking has...
Now this might sound like a silly question, but how the hell do you get the headlight washer jets to spray? its driving me mad, i cant work out how and neither can my mate on his V6.
Thanks
My mates Clutch on his V6 has died.
Just wondering if anyone knows any good garages that will supply and change it, Renault want £1100 to do it, so any savings on that via a good specialists would be welcome. Based in south east london.
Thanks.
my exhaust is blowing from a clamp connecting the centre section (bendy part) to the back box.
Was told it shouldnt have a clamp here, does anyone else have a clamp on this section of their exhaust? kwik fit said i need a new centre section? was thinking of getting a new clamp or some sealant...
