The Dynamique (D) is a tax band lower than the RSi (E), prob save about £25 a year. I had an RSi and loved it to bits but engine wise theres not much if anything to choose between all the 1.6 16v models.

Plus with German build quality and less of a chav rep they are the best package these days IMO. Thats why a bought one, VAG powa!!

Last night, Seafield road heading towards Leith and turned off towards Maccy D's (obvioulsy!!). Just didn't get a chance to snap it with the phone cam!! Bright (radioactive!) turquoise full on kitted (possibly the Carzone kit) Mk2 with white turini style alloys, tints, phat zorst, lexus rear...

Its a kind of different take on the Elia RSR kit...... My old Clio had the kit too, without the hideous side skirts/panels and I like to think it looked a whole lot better than that!!

Just watch your car tax double in price too. A 3.2L V6 is not very frugal on emissions....

I've bought 2 cars with outstanding finance, including my current car. Its really rather simple. The finance is on the car not the person. If you sell the car then the finance goes with it and the new owner is liable. Obtain a settlement figure from the finance company for the money owed on...

No mate, its a private plate as it has less than 7 characters. Its not a 1993 car not sold for 6 years...... :S

Unfortunately I had a wee accident at 70mph with some debris on the motorway so had to replace the front bumper with a replica Prima Racing one and not the original from Elia in Germany (cost twice as much!) and as everyone knows Prima's kits don't always hit the mark perfectly :S , hence the...

My old RSi...now gone!!! :(

Thats a 53 plate reg, new style plate ie. 2 letters (code for area in country where car was first registered), two numbers depicting the month/year it was registered then 3 random letters). Northern Irish plates have letters as the first 3 characters of the plate, one of which invariably is...

Was in my mates car, off to Gregs for a cheeky lunchtime sausage roll. Not got my Clio anymore, sold it a few months back so someone else is now enjoying having their bank account emptied by it!! :rasp: Have now invested in an Ibiza Cupra TDi, diesel powa!! :D

Spotted it a couple of times in Edinburgh too. This time it was yesterday turning right from the main street at the traffic lights. Red, lowered (a lot by the looks of it!) with turinis and in need of a wash ;)

Haha! I was going rather rapidly through the wee roundabout so it was just a blurred glance across I took! But it wasn't on a private plate, 55 reg I think.......

Think it was a Sport model. Was parked up in the car park with a huge Cliosport sticker on the back window. Twin exhaust, alloys etc but why oh why are there those unbelievably horrendous rear side panel vent things stuck on it? I nearly removed them myself!! :S

There are a lot of Teg's being imported at the moment which will drive prices down. Its already happening to the newer Teg DC5's. A 2001 plate DC5 used to be at least £12k a year ago, now can be had for less than £10k due to import companies flooding the market making them easy to get hold of...

Re: Best comment from your local Renault dealer ever After leaving it with them for a day for a blowing exhaust..... 'Your whole manifold and downpipe needs replacing....that will be £500 please' I got a 2nd opinion. Turned out it was a £25 gasket needing changing. Robbin' bar stewards!

Spotted late Sunday afternoon stuck in a traffic jam although can't remember if it was Dundee or Aberdeen..... :S Looking good though! :D

Over the weekend.......... A blue Mk2 V6 heading south on Anderson Drive (?), Friday night. Red 197 - Coming out the Montrose turn off (probably more than one junction to there but don't know exactly!) to join A90 southbound, Sunday late afternoon.

Yesterday around 5pm outside Jaynes Bar. Pink Mk2, and I mean pink candy floss/barbie non-metallic pink, with lexus lights and large rims. Think I've seen it before in Glasgow and a couple of fleeting glances out near Gilmerton. To go with the colour, a little 'barbie' driving it too! ;)

As I'm in the market for a new car I have been scouring the web classifieds looking for a bargain. I've come across a trade company who specialise in selling on repossessed cars which retail at a decent price. Has anyone had any experience of buying a repossessed vehicle? Any info/opinions...

Spotted leaving Edinburgh Technopole/Biocampus on Monday. Think it was a 'mature' bloke driving..........

Was parked up on Saturday behind the main building, early evening. It sat there with the engine running with some bloke revving it for a few minutes before heading off.

I had an inspection done on a claimed Cat C car recently. The inspector said the car would automatically be worth only 50% of the value of an quivalent car not accident damaged, after the repairs if the work done put it back to an immaculate condition. So if that car is repaired and being sold...

7.5k 03 plate? I would say thats a bit pricey. My flatmate just bought a Pug180 recently, a blue 04 plate, 18k miles, for 7k and its immaculate. I couldn't talk them out of it, when women get an idea in their head theres no stopping them!! I'm driving it at the minute as I'm 'in between cars'...

Was it silver with the Reg VIL....? That would be what was my car as of Saturday afternoon.....

Was it this stoater fae Dennistoun?........... http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y162/weewebbo/1089220737__cliosport001.jpg

This might make interesting reading for this thread. Its the guy who used to own that sliver Maxi..... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=204944&highlight=maxi

Mine are bolted on at either end, at least then they won't be falling off in a hurry!

Fantastic RS!! Saw one for 9k Cat D the other day and was sorely tempted but just wouldn't be able to run it with the mileage I do and the tax is going to £400 next year for that by the looks of things! A mate of mine had a tuned 04 plate 182 and sold it a wee while ago for £7700 so if you put...

I had 'illegal plates' (size and spacing) and went through 2 MOT's without a problem. That was until the rozzers stopped me and issued me with a ticket to get it changed!
