do you want to know if people know anything about this vehicle's specific history, or just the fact that its a clio 182 in general?

It's cheap.

It doesn't have either of the cup packs (1 is spoiler and splitter, splitter usually missing. The other is Cup suspension which is 3mm lower, better tyres and anthracite alloys)

Personally I don't think that's a big deal, but a lot on here wouldn't buy without those. They were a fairly cheap option (300 each set I think) so most people added them.

If you're going to modify it, then it doesn't really matter.

It needs both the cambelt and auxiliary belt changing, if there's no record of it being done already, which is anything from £400 upwards.

I would be tempted to change the link to just that car, as opposed to the search which has your postcode on it.

Car looks alright though.

LOL at "Onion Motors"

Good price as it looks clean on low millage and in a desirable colour

Only issue is what Revels has pointed out for you its not been "cup packed"

If you wanted anthra or black wheels £200 for a professional job
Eibach Proline springs will give you superior ride quality and the lower ride height £150

As JC sais the cam and aux belts are due being a 54 plate that can be expensive and best done by a specialist

For the sake of £5 join up to the site and have a look in the For Sale sections some lovely examples come up with the club back ground so you know basic history and 90% of them will be very well looked after examples

But if your not fussed about a modfied look then its a clean example and providing its all straight looks a decent buy

Thanks for the replies guys, the postcode is not mine triki, i changed it slightly when searching but i know where your coming from, i've not called them yet to find out about the belts but will do this tomorrow, i will my have my other half sign me up when she arrives back home from being away (im at my limits on the computer posting threads lol) Rocky_24, it was just on the off chance that because of the low mileage and owner i thought it may be a club member.

Thank you
