172 Van

[JillyB]

parked out side my office

if its not one, its gone to a lot of trouble having colour coding, wheels, spoiler, front wings, badges done.

Wish i had a camera with me.

 

[RobFenn]

Its just a diesel with the sport bodykit! Saw one in white which was filled with crap so looked lowered..like a cup racer!

[JillyB]

oh. this ones silver, and has writing all over it.

Why do companys go to that much trouble for their vans. Its only saddos like us that notice.

 

[RobFenn]

Well if it didnt look cool you wouldnt of mentioned it! As you say if its a company van i guess the whole point is to get noticed as its a moving advertisement board..stick a flyer on it!

-Rob

 

[Viv172]

They look so nice in silver but dont think they are 172s, unlike Ford who did an xr2i van

I think you could by it that way. The scary ones are the MG ZR vans that have the 160bhp engine

 

[RobFenn]

You can get them? Nice..Clio only comes with DCI65 engine. I see loads of souped up astra/corsa vans though.

That MG was a van which didnt go into production. Its was made to show of the van range. Was faster than a Cupra R if I remember.

Theyve done that with Escort vans for years.

 

[DeanRSi]

i saw a white clio van up in docklands the other day. it had cup wheels on and a 172 front end. Looked pretty smart actually.

 

[aaronc]

YES Renualt made a load of Vans with 172 kit on it, i remember reading it when they first came out.

So the chances are Jilly they havent done anything to it, it was done at the factory.

 

[king.stromba]

Anyone remember the Espace with a Renautsport 3.5 litre formula one engine in the back? If i remember rightly Eric Bernard used to show that off at Formula one races?

 

[Jean Ragnotti]

I saw that Espace last summer at a showroom on the Champs Elysee. It is quite impressive in the flesh...

Ford has done the same the same with a Transit from time to time...

 

[Type_Mo]

I wonna get a clio van, but the only do a 1.5d engine which would be too much too insure, and they dont do it in the colour i want (Black) !!!

 

[nonos]

The espace was also at goodwood festival of speed in 2002. Was quite impressive, especially when driven. It was quite surreal to hear that engine in an MPV. I have pics somewhere I am sure.

Nope. Local nail technitian has one near me. Its a blue mgzr with solid rear windows. Dont think its a 160 or owt. It has the flag logo on it but nothing underneath like the 160s do

what he said!!!

 

[G4VVX]

The front splitter is part of the kit for Renault but I think it can be order separately.



Lee M - my thoughts exactly.

Ill post up the pic of my other toy.
