Hello I just wondered if anyone on here owned a Monaco Blue Clio 172 Reg HK03ZPL I owned the car until approximately 18 months ago when it was wrote off after a non-fault crash for only what seemed like minor rear quarter damage Anyway just checked and the car is still insured so appears...

Car was wrote off they paid out £2,100 not bad as paid £1700 Purchased a golf gti as a stock gap it was s**t had to replace the engine turbo suspension etc and now stuck it up for sale I hate it Will get another 172/182 in the spring

Don't even get sat nav as standard specified up this is 42k when an Audi S5 cabrio is what 46k it's a f**king joke Anyone that buys this car deserves to be shot it is not even 4wd either so no better than a mapped GTI really... Biggest joke is as the back seats are pretty small i.e. irrelevant...

GTR seems to much of a hand full Chris is a very very good driver and even he looked terrified R8 on the other hand is a car you could use every day on the track, on a b road or even to pop to Tesco and it would thrill you every time for me one of the all time greats and by far the winner overall

I have seen this done to a none clio sport and think he fitted a lot of meganne stuff into the existing clio block and worked from there... Was running 280bhp and was fully stripped out so must have been stupidly fast!

Hello does anyone know the above for when I get these refurbished? Thanks

Indeed Where you the lad stood next to it? Or the person I talked too for 5/10 mins who I saw looking at my car told me how he had owned his 172 cup from new and was not on 100k miles and still not found anything worth replacing it with as it had never let him down :)

I don't think so I saw a fair few people looking at the mint mondial blue one I came down with the midlands PH meet and was with a new 911, catherham, elise etc... hooning down lanes and the little clio kept up just fine most proper petrol heads more than respect these cars I found speaking to...

Oh they was also a silver 172 on an 02 plate (I think) with a cheaky intercooler at the front anyone on here?

However's was the other Monaco Blue 172 what a car best Clio Sport I have ever seen by far unbelievably clean and need to get those wheels on mine now to be honest... Mine was the monaco blue on the end next to an elan couldn't miss is had a huge dent in the side :/ Some lovely cars favourite...

Bump Please Help :) As an update spluttering seems to have cleared up okay lower down does occasionaly and not as bad. However when coldish car revs freely up to 7k (only done this occasionally to test) but once warm after about 5k i.e. when cam kicks in doesnt really went to rev like feels...

Must add doesnt always do the 5k+ thing where it seems to struggle just sometimes Could it be the TDC centre not sure if symptons fit basically splutters below 2k and at 5k+ sometimes seems to struggle when warm. Thinking to change the coilpack at the weekend and do the TDC thing not sure how to...

Hello have the age old problem of a spluttering clio Basically up to around 2.5k revs if put foot down car splutters and misfires a little bit (not good) Also ocassionaly seems to pop slightly when I heel and toe which it never did before so maybe overfueling? Also noticed today once warmed up...

Oh and car has been on jig its fine jusr needed a new steering arm must have bent when went up the kerb

Oh and i can the car repaired for 400 both have said majority will knock out only around arch is tricky and may need some filler in it but will see what insurance garage says is called fix auto birnungham if anyone knows it?

Taking in saturday to see insurance is knock for knock i.e i sort my damage and their insurance sorts their own so if they try and write it off will just keep it and just knock out what i can and leave it as it is as excess is 800 anyway and f**k them writing it off

Other people want to go through insurance :/ I have spoken to a couple repair shops I know someone who said the majority will pull out accept around the wheel arch which would need some filler and could be all sprayed for about £350 showed me a car was working on and looked decent. Had the car...

See thread about damage not great... Know a good car repair bloke coming to look at it tomorrow they are not writing it off it drives too nicely and spent too much on stuff for it...

Crashed it :(

I will do that then if I can women is getting a quote on her car doing her a favour front bumper had all marks on the other side anyway :/ It is an 06 plate scenic will need a new front bumper and wing would this be about £300 or so do you think or more? I will get my rear bumper attached and...

It was mint until the crash anyway belts just done etc good paintwork no dents (just had them removed) alloys had been refurbed and start cleaning up underneath painting parts etc... But yeah text the meganne owners to see if I can settle outside then can get the bumper sorted and drive it...

I think will just ring the insurance company and just let them deal with it to be honest. I went on the what car valuation and it said trade £2410 and private £2665 don't know if this has much to do with book price or not seems a bit optimistic. May see what the option is with regards to buying...

Actually think the car is insured for £2650 as that is the price they recommended come time of insurance as I got the car cheap may work out better if they did write it off to be honest and then I just brought it back and broke it for spares perhaps...

Mine is not as bad as the one above imo The top part of the panel is in shape its the bottom part that is fucked thought someone good may be able to pull it out My Car is a 2003 Clio 172 in blue 70k mile insured for £2250 if I went through insurance would I just get the £2250 - £800 excess i.e...

Car drives fine btw and back bumper will just need re-attaching will a 3/4 really write off the whole car I find that madness as it still drives the same

Car is insured for £2250 will they just right the car off then?

West - Midlands mate And if its 1k will go through insurance :/

Hello Had my clio 3 months and unfortunantly today on an island got in an accident I saw a car indicate left which I was going to slot behind but then they decided to take the next exit. My fault still as was going to fast and they caught the corner of my car and have decent the rear quarter...
