Didnt know it had aircon (though shouldnt it be climate control?) and colour coded? Lucky b******s! Sill protectors sound cool

 

[Viv172]

That was for the 16v 1.6, dont know about the air con/climate, just copyed and pasted from the web site.

 

[ClioJohn]

it comes with a stupid badge

 

[Daz]

Saw one today at Renault - looked nice.

Daz.

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

Funny name, metallic paint ( + 1 new colour - Citrus Green ), different seat trim, silver fascia inserts. Apart from that its as Dynamique

 

[Leigh]

1.2s and 1.4s dont come with air con, only the 1.6 !!

On the 1.2 & 1.4 the only way to get air con is to have climate control or Cool pack (climate control & electric sunroof)

 

[SoLow]

I tried to order the sill plates from Renault the other day as I kinda a Billabong clothing freak, but, NO YOU CANT HAVE THEM YET! apparently you cant order any parts for them yet, what a bummer, wanted the sill plates and the interior door handles

 

[RobFenn]

I didnt realise renault offered aircon and climate control

Are the sill plates just a silver or is billabong written on them?

 

[BenR]

climate control being an auto aircon.......

 

[Louise]

was gonna get the Billabong, but they didnt have the colour I wanted in it, so thought Id go for the Dynamique as Id only regret not getting it in the right colour.

 

[BenR]

another car!!!!!

what about the new fezzy, or a zetec S?......

 

[SoLow]

Sill plates have Billabong written on them, kinda bue-green colour with silver writing if i remember rightly

 

[Louise]

Ben, got it as it had free insurance. Am kinding to wish I went for the zetec new Fiesta, as thats free insce from 21, which I am on 9th April..... and Im not getting the Clio til Mar 20th at earliest now. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[BenR]

the new fez im afraid to say is fabulouso!!!!

far better than the clio and has more for the money......no point in us selling the 1.4 clio in HK anymore......not a chance...

Oh well, you pays your money............used as a little runabout i suppose. you got them all one one policy? i.e anycar anytime?

 

[Louise]

nah separate policies lol. I got the best deal for the Williams with diamond, and they basically said sod off when they heard the Kingfishers mods lol. Clio is gonna be on 1 yrs free insurance. I wish I could afford a Focus RS, as insurance is coming out at £805ish when Im 21.

probably will run the clio for a while, and in the meantime get the Williams mint, then sell both and get a Fiesta ST150 / Focus RS depending on whats about / what I can afford. Id LOVE a Fiesta RS if Ford would build one, or a Focus Cosworth. Mmmmmmm

 

[BenR]

LOL....you are the best speed nutter i have seen......ace

Agree on the st150....have you seen teh rally pics of the fezzy!!!

i have a pic of a grp2 silver MK1 fezzy, and the new ford motorsport rally fezzy is a modern rep of it....fabuloso!!!

21....with a focus RS.......my...do u sell your body or something!!!! i sure as hell would have to!!!!! lol.....well, if anybody would buy.....

 

[Louise]

FRS isnt gonna happen when Im 21, unless I have a serious cash injection lol.. One can dream and save though lol

 

[BenR]

true.....

i dont really save, i just dont do anything....sit at home, trapping rain water in teh dark.....mmmmm money.

 

[SoLow]

Fiesta Zetec is a horrible car! I had a brand new 1.4 zetec on Monday as a hire car. STUPIDLY high amounts of road noise, a lack lustre driving sensation and bog all power, Clio is the better buy

 

[RobFenn]

I test drove a 1.25 one before getting the clio and didnt like that either.

 

[BenR]

te 1.25 is surprisingly powerful...and i meant the ZETEC S.......

 

[ema_edwards]

i have a new 52 plate billabong and its got climate control but it cost a wopping £800 xtra. It also came with electric sunroof. Best buy this year !

My billabong is also citrus green and its a beautiful colour.
