172 from Australia



  RenaultSport Clio 172 MK2
Hi guys,

Here's a couple of photos of my 172.

So far It's got brembo's, DS2500's, carbon splitter, remus exhaust, K&N filter, 17's and a few other bits and pieces.

Enjoy.

  Breaking A 172 Replica
But please get some clear side repeaters. or smoked ones.

Would make a big difference and would cost no more than 20 AUD.

Thanks for the positive comments!

Standard ride height... for now, would like to lower it a little.

Dont see many Clio's over here unfortunately.

As for the side repeaters, it was like pulling teeth to get a price from Renault over here, eventually came back with the figure of $52.00AU each for the clear lenses! Might have to shop around for some aftermarket ones.

Yes we've got the 182's over here, just a little out of my price range at the time damn it!

I am a possibility for the drive day in April walkie86, not a definite though.

A lovely example, Do you see many over there??
:cool:

Australia's car market is a lot different to Britain's. Renaults models generally don't fit well. There's a market for European prestige cars, but because petrol is cheap and big cars are cheap here, small cars have to be cheaper, and non-prestige 4 cylinder cars like Meganes have to be cheaper, and very small cars with very small engines like Clio 1.4s have to be really cheap. But you can't sell European cars here cheap so their sales have been tiny. I suspect the only reason they bother is the tie up between Renault and Nissan. But the Clio Sport is different. It fills a market niche that Ford and Holden aren't interested. If you want a quick car they want you to buy a V8 Commodore or Falcon, and they don't bother much with the quicker variants of the small cars they bring in. So there's not a lot of competition with the Clio Sport here The result has been that it has made up half of Renault's sales here.

I joined oz renault sport awhile ago, a good forum but they just don’t have the same sense of humour.

Nobody on that forum would discus waxing chest hair or making a centre console out of sheet aluminium.

I’ve got to admit that’s one thing I miss about the UK is its eccentric characters.

By the way how old is lusty Clio, he can’t be more than 16/17, he wouldn’t have any chest hair would he.;)
