I believe it's Kieran's old one, well looked after iirc

 

[jason172meads]

Did he do the work on it? Did he do a tread with it?

Some pics/info here mate:

If you go to his profile, you can see all his posts etc.

 

[Aydon182]

Yeah he done a fair bit on it, making it mint and representable nothing really tuning wise iirc, just an exhaust etc crappy induction kit dk why. What do you mean do a tread?

 

[jason172meads]

Yeah ive had a good look, think its had a few owners since the guy on here

I spoke to Keiran the other day and he seemed to think only one guy had had it iirc. He'll probably spot this in a mo.

Was a really tidy car when he had it bar the paint flake he had on the roof (can't remember if he rectified this before he sold it or not). He's online so he'll probably be along here shortly.

The exhaust on it sounds lovely as well lol! Assuming it's the same one. Personally, I think it would be a sound buy...

 

[jason172meads]

The advert says about a ss exhaust but not sure if its the same still, my brother has a clio 172 phase one in sun yellow with a supercharger on it so im looking at turbo pr throttle bodies but want to buy a sweet 172 first!!!

^ It looks the same from the photos. If you PM Keiran, he's a very friendly chap, and I'm sure he'd be more than happy to answer any questions or give you some insider knowledge of the car so to speak.

 

[jason172meads]

Ok buddy, ive pm him

 

[plymcl172]

What are you going to find out from him ?

A car he used to own?

Some people......

Erm... Maybe if there was anything wrong with the car when he sold it - especially things that the seller might not highlight or be keen to disclose to this new prospective buyer.

Just thought. Some people...

Im hopefully picking the car up on saturday

 

[Aydon182]

Always smart to do a background check/ research on a car your about to buy.

 

[clioestate]

this car used to be knocking around near me like last week, i think its safe to say its been hammered now...ive seen it over 5 times and always on the redline, shame really as its a nice looking car.


regards

 

[Kieran..]

Only just seen this thread, the guy Matt who is selling it bought it from me so only he has had it since me. The roof was professionally resprayed at the same time as cup spoiler being fitted.

Iirc then the only things the owner has done is change front tyres and spray the wheels blue

Any pics of the blue wheels? Intrigued by that bit ha

 

[jason172meads]

I will put some pics up tomoro of it

 

[Kieran..]

Please put them back to frozen white lol what's the condition like?

 

[jason172meads]

I havnt looked that much but they look mint to me! I was thinking about gun metal with glitter or something else but not sure, gotta get the electrics look at anyway

 

[Kieran..]

Have you? What's up with the electrics?

 

[jason172meads]

Fog lights symbol on dash comes on when you brake, and service light and ESP comes on when been driving the car for 5 mins and need horn sorting as don't work, but gotta have front and rear bumper and spoiler and bonnet painted! And as I said wheels need doing!

 

[Tunst]

to fix the fog/brake problem, remove the rear lights and clean up the contacts, its a common problem..

 

[Kieran..]

The ESP and Serv light came on when I used to have it lol and the horn aswell I had one in my house ready to fit and forgot lol and he obviously never sorted it, so funny how it got through mot

 

[jason172meads]

Ok i will take the rear lights put tomoro and clean them up, i think the esp and service is a broken sensor somewhere so ive been reading! Been out in it tonite and love it!
