BOUGHT THE 197 - yeeeeha !

[skny]

bought it on tuesday, was a 500 km trip from poland to germany.

The car has minor front damage and is being repaired at a friendly Renault dealership.

It is 2006, first reg on 01.08.2006, first oil drain after one year, done 6818 km during the ifrst year

Spec,

Xenons, Auto Climate, Sunroof, 4x40 mp3 cd, no hands free ( thankfully ), other stuff I think is standard.

what shocked me though, it has no auto-tint mirror , problably doesnt have the light/rain sensor as well. but thought thats a pack with xenons

Anyway the car looks just great, well apart from the crashed front the interior looks brand new, as well as the tyres, disc brakes etc the wheels need refurbing though, the previous owner must have had issues with parking it.

here's pics,

pics are crap ( phone) , and the car is dirty, but when its all finished I 'll have a photoshoot done with a SLR so should be better then,

still cant believe I bought it, but tried pinching myself and I wont wake

Nice one!

That should be an easy repair!

Are cars catorgorised by accident damage in Poland?

 

[skny]

nope they're not categorized, so pay the same insurance and stuff,

need to pick up some parts today, sh1t cant wait to take it for a spin,

and I should not have the warranty void, and maybe even will be able to get it extended,

the car has only 10315 km on the clock !!!!!

I will be updating if I 'll have a chance to stop by the garage now and then

[Ash87]

should be easy enough to get looking mint, nice one.

 

[davM]

Couple of panels and it'll be mint, although they wont be cheap.

Still can't get over how basic and ugly the 197 interior is.

 

[skny]

I'm sure it will polish out. Forgive the pun.

sure will need to buy "Super Polish" though, may be tuff without it...

Terminator clio.

 

[skny]

yeah looks like the terminator now, but in 3 weeks tops it will be all fixed and then it will be time for hasta la vista meggy!

 

[drunknmunky]

Minor damage??? Would say a little bit more than that!!

Dont mind me asking what caused the damage?? And yes will look lovely when sorted, if sorted

 

[dajones]

looks like it hit something over, probably a dear or some sort

 

[drunknmunky]

An Old Dear crossing the street?? :rasp:

 

[TELFORDS_LURK]

Why does it have a key ignition and not a key card, euro versions different in that regards?
Oh and i'm pretty sure iirc that if it had climate it will have auto lights and wipers, something about them being on the same loom.

 

[R1XPH]

What happened to it to have a hole like that in the bonnet but not the bumper? lol?

 

[skny]

rear ended a truck I suppose,

the key card was an option on the clio's in europe, dont the cup have a key as well???

it was either a hands free, or the key.

not sure about the sensors though, doesnt have a auto-tint mirror for sure.
