Far from the worst ive seen tbh.

 

[banther]

"Ova 10k spent" - nothing replicated about that. He's a bona fide Clio owner.

 

[Matt W]

Engine cover at the back? Someone needs to get photos of the inside.

 

[Pistachio]

Why does it have a sunroof?

 

[_Tom]

It looks like the guy from Jaytek racing made it from his facebook profile. Looks like they've worked on some nice cars.

 

[leeds2592]

Why does it have a sunroof?

Because it's not actually a V6 believe it or not 😂

emm yes... but it says it's a 182

 

[_Tom]

No it doesn't?
Model - Clio grande rn
It's probably just got an F4R.

 

[cat171]

Complete dog sh*t, but at least he saw sense to move the filler cap :wink:

 

[Daz...]

It says 1.2 in the details so I'm going to guess it never started as a 172.

Didn't notice that bit. Just saw this

"Stunning v6 rep 182 "

 

[leeds2592]

He's probably got a 1.2 Clio, stuck all the V6 bits on it and got his mate Dave who knows everything there is to know about cars to stick a dodgy 1*2 engine in, then he's plucked a figure out of thin air, 210bhp in this instance and tells everyone it's rapid.

 

[JoeHumphreys91]

Looking for swops. Something fast... I like how he felt the need to reiterate that point

 

[_Tom]

To be fair the guy that built it also owned this..

[Crybert]

Yeah it's not the worst I've seen either. I'm sure the paint job turns heads!

 

[DrR]

That's actually one of the best I've seen! If it wasn't a silly colour.

 

[Knuckles]

How did they get 210bhp from a 1.2?! Mental.

Anyway. I'd love that as a track toy.

 

[Jay.S]

Going from his pictures his V6 reps are actually pretty decent. I'd have that above but at a very cheap price.

De sticker, decent wheels would look ok.

 

[basket491]

Thinking exactly what other people have said definitely not that bad of rep take the stickers off wrap or resprayed it silver and wouldn't look too bad

 

[McGherkin]

I would genuinely rather s**t pineapples than drive that.

So glad this thread had popped up, this guy lives near me and as i was driving past the local McDonalds the other week i spotted it, turned around and went to have a look. As i was 'checking it out' the owner come over and was speaking to him for a while telling me hes spent in excess of £10K on it, turboed ect ect.. Seemed an alright guy tbf.

But he is telling everyone in the area that its a real V6 and it does have an engine cover in the back which i couldn't really see due to tints.

Anyways i car checked it when i got home and it come up a 1.2, lying bast.

Anyways, i did like it, just too chavved up.

Is the paintwork/bodywork in good condition etc?

 

[BGEarles]

From where i was sat in my car it all seemed great, even tried checking for massive wheel spacers which i couldn't see. Always see it driving about.

 

[BGEarles]

@MarkMchugh - Have you seen this about?

 

[Jekyll]

Swop for your T182?

 

[Oggy997]

If it's a turbo f4r, for £3k, I'll buy it irrespective of it being rancid green.

 

[Mr Plums]

Swop for your T182?

Lol, I was just thinking 'if this was a 300hp turbo'd f4r running 12 second 1/4 miles' peoples opinions would be slightly different no matter how s**t it looked.

 

[dann2707]

Actually looks pretty good if it wasn't in that lairy jeremy kyle green.

Surely if it was turboed it would say it in the description though.

 

[Knuckles]

Do people genuinely think it looks s**t? Or are the just on about the colour, or stickers, or hopping on the bandwagon?

That's one of the best v6 reps I've seen.

*if I had the money for a project car* I'd have that if the stickers weren't lacquered in lile the real ones were.

What's Jeromy Kyle got to do with green?

 

[dann2707]

It's just Jeremy kyle green isn't it!

 

[Oggy997]

Actual name associated to the paint code iirc

 

[Jekyll]

Is it?!

Ah, I see it now!

 

[Jay.S]

To sort the engine debate.

It's a 182 engine with cams etc running 210 apparently. Body is a Ph1 1.2. Just got a reply from him. Guessing he hasn't declared the engine swap.

 

[dan112]

Why go to all that effort to make it look like a Clio v6 and badge it as a Renault 25

 

[la21t]

This car is a quite scary stalker-ripoff of this proper V6....

[midge]

The advert says £6995? and the description says it has an engine dynamics turbo conversion ?

 

[Jay.S]

He has changed it it was reduced to £2295 the other day, he has clearly clicked on.

It looks great in that above link though!

The ad says he's spent £15k on it, he could have bought a proper one for that.
