BL03 ME X

[tom172clio]

Hi all, I have just bought a 172 clio in blue, 03 reg 84k miles. There is a clio-sport.net sticker in the rear window, so was hoping someone can shed some light on the car?! As i bought from a dealer and would be great to get some more info on the car.

the reg was a private plate BL03 MEX, the dealer I bought it off has put the car back onto the orginal plates however now.

anyone know anything?!!

thanks

Tom

Welcome to the club, lucky escape with the number plate!

 

[tom172clio]

thanks lol!

I need to refurb the alloys, if anyone knows any good places??

and no standard spoiler i believe.

no plans yet just to sort the alloys first.

 

[tom172clio]

how much is cheap lol

 

[Knuckles]

youd be better off just buying new wheels mate (standard 172 wheels, turinis, 182 wheels, 2118s) have a look through the car parts for sale section on here

 

[tom172clio]

ok thanks, whats the best size, 16?

 

[Daniel]

Those wheels need putting in the bin mate, don't bother refurbing them.

I don't want to sound harsh, but i'm just speaking my mind.

Welcome to the Club by the way, you'll love it. Full of helpful people and some miserable cnuts. (me)

Get some standard wheels, those ones on there look poo poo. Im guessing you paid £2695 from a dealer? Am i close?

 

[Knuckles]

ok thanks, whats the best size, 16?

16'' or 15'' mate

turinis, 172, 182 wheels come in 16''

2118s come in 15''

 

[tom172clio]

no was £1900, 1 year MOT and cam belt done, so not too bad, hopefully it'll not be a dog!!

 

[tom172clio]

ok cheers for the advice! lookin at alloys now, 2118s look good but expensive!!

 

[Hawkeye]

[tom172clio]

i was lookin at 172s on auto trader for weeks before i bought it, and 2k is about the going rate with a years MOT and low mileage and cambelt, u could prob squeeze 2.2k out of it?

Bang it up for 2.5k, if its that mint it should sell for that.

Shame they changed the plate haha. Yea as above, them wheels don't look fantastic I'm sure you'll agree?
Ive always liked that colour, nearly bought one when I got mine. Any more details on it? Any plans?

 

[tom172clio]
