172 replica's



dad has a aston v8, rs4 new style cab, and aston db7 vantage volante, mum has an rs6, so if you wanna brag about having a great car at such and such an age, go for it.


so?

show me where i'm "bragging" about having a clio for f**ks sake!
seems like you're the one who's got his c**k out.

I dont get the "replica" thing thats all. Never have.

Seems most people regret it eventually but hey ho :rolleyes:

i was pissed at the time and i did apologise for that comment, but it seems like you are too old to see that as well maybe??

why did you feel the need to make a comment on something that a group of people enjoy doing??

not entirely sure why i am even rising to this at all . . . .

The fact is, we are all here because we enjoy our cars (mainly Clios') and the majority of us enjoy spending, or should I say wasting money on our cars. Wether we fit a 172 kit to a 1.2 or fit coilies, uprated brakes and 'bodies to a 172, we are all spending the cash which we won't recoup at sale time. We are paying higher insurance either way no matter what we do.

Let's not argue, debate and pontificate, let's agree to disagree, appreciate that others will not see the world in the same light as we do but most of all, enjoy what we are doing.

That looks as if its had a lot of work done on it.

Are the indicators in the doors next to the R Sport badge? None on wings, and if its inferno, it must have been resprayed?

now im not so full of alcohol, where is the diamond on the front? or is it midway completion?

love it btw, great work, one of a kind, and what a colour!!!:cool:

jamie

Wasnt completed then but is now, looks so so nice. Only thing that gives it away as a rep is the rear drums and the sunroof. Anyone in the Warrington area will more than likely see it pretty soon!

see, this I get. Not trying to be anything other than a nicely modded clio. No 2.0 badges, no sport badges........just a nice kit, lowered, zorst, wheels - cushty.


anyway like I said, probably too old to understand.

thanks mate - i totally agree, i never once contemplated putting a 2.0badge or sport badge near it

mainly because i wanted a smooth look - but to anyone anyway my car was obviously a deisel between the black soot on the twin exhaust or the awful engine noise lol

i got what i planned to achieve with my car and that was a magazine feature in Ireland top car modifying magazine which i was chuffed about!

as for resale....i ended up selling a lot of the parts but i sold the car with just the bodykit and crappy 17s for £4400 - it was an 03 with 57k - made maybe another £1/1.5k selling parts

youurrrr all c***s!

what the f**k is wrong with making a replica - stop been so pathetic and crying about it.

why do people by a mk1 clio and stick volvo engines in? why do people buy mr2's and make a ferrari replica out of them?

its a good chuffing hobby and its fun. stop been stuck been stuck up!

I was originally going to turn my 1.2 16V Dynamique into a 172 rep but then thought "why not just save up and buy one"....

TO be fair I did upgrade my wheels to mk2 16" 172 rims, and this was very worthwhile, its amazing how much more grip you get from lower profile tyres which are slightly wider...

However, in the end I stopped the project after the wheels and put the cash into the bank, and that is why I am now patiently waiting for my Megane R26 to arrive in April!!

nothing wrong with reps at all imo!

some of them look better and are nearly always cared for better than some RS' on here!

top work lads

clearly mine wasnt a rep 172, it just uses a lot of the parts but all those parts were customised!
 
love yours boydie mate, always have, was desperate to find the pics that were in the old forum gallery so could look how you did the exhaust

Reps are the way forward, and like immi said earlier surely its better than turning them into chav cars with lexus lights, zorst, mass off crap alloys made of chocolate!! Its not like we go around saying "oh yeh mate its a 2.0l" when it comes to selling the buyer knows that its obviously not, we just think that the sport look is good, unfortunately for us young ones insurance is a b**ch!!

IMO, the run out Campus should have had an RS look-a-like option, as Seat did with the Leon Cupra R becoming the run out FR.
 
love that one batman mate, nice one, not keen on how small the wheels are, but evil as has been said :)
