yea, went to the launch the other night.. Absolutly stunning/perfect car.

Dream car before, and even more now.. Love it.

Forest172 must be well pleased - I would be.

Daz.

 

[DTWD]

WOW!



Paul

 

[Daz]

Yea, its even more WOW when you actually see it... Seriously, that picture does the car no justice at all.. its perfection in every way.

Heh, I love em...

Daz.

 

[McBunny]

we have one at work its not that great really

 

[GR7]

We have one here (its got a mini sunroof thing) and it is SO NOISY, from a distance it sounds more like a Ducati!

 

[Mike Wright]

Look at the rust on that car! Needs a good polish too. Is that a post box on the bonnet? Only joking it looks a very nice car indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[colin241182]

i really dont like the new shape i prefer the old school scooby. cant deniy the fact they are just awsome cars and would love to have one and drive one but at the mo i will be complacent with sitting in the passenger seat of one once in a blue moon when my mate takes me out

 

[geordiepaul]

A nice set of SILVER 18" will make it the perfect car.......apart from an EVO VI of course!!!

No a wee man sits in there to keep a watch for Clios to race!

 

[geoff_clio182]

A very nice car but Im always amazed at how high the STi sits.....you could get a small family living in the front arches!

 

[Simon172]

Really really nice! I love the look of these new ones. Much much better than the previous bug-eyed boats. Really nice car forest172! I saw one in a cue the other day and "wow". Really meaty.

 

[Craggy]

gets my thumbs up, looks mint, chris is driving round in the closest thing to a rally car, what more could you want

or some refugees ? really nice car though..

 

[paddymph]

Very nice, certainly a worthy upgrade for the Clio! You must be a v happy man forest, hope youll bring it to a meet sometime??

 

[forest172]

Cheers all for your opinions, Ive always wanted one since a kid and thought Id treat myself.

I agree it sits too high and will probably get some eibach springs.

Im saving for the PPP pack at the minute to take it 300bhp, £1995 but its meant to be well worth it.

Once Ive got some serious miles on it and its run in Ill bring it to a meet. I still have a major soft spot for clios, I waved at a 172 the other day the bloke looked at me gone out I forgot what I was in. (muppet)

 

[Ben j]

although theyve re vamped em again.. the front still looks ugly....

otherwise nice car!

 

[Daz]

no no no, nothing on that car is ugly.. you really do have to see one in real life to appreciate it - no picture ever makes a car look 100%.

Ive seen them both at the Launch (WRX and WRX STi) and both are gorgeous.. nothing ugly about them AT ALL!

Daz.

 

[Ben j]

>>>>>> looks back at the pic >>>>>>>>>>

nope.. compared to the older shape, they still ugly

 

[Scudetto]

Im sure dynamically is crackerjack and very, very enjoyable. It is also very distinctive to look at, but personally, i couldnt say its beautiful (but then its not meant to be). Its well proportioned, aggressive, funky, appeallingly menacing, but not beautiful. Beauty doesnt shock, shout or affront. IMHO, beauty is a calm, easy, harmony (g lights some candles and gets into his best feng shui position...)

Still a serious bit of kit though - hope you enjoy it Chris!

[ak_uk]

Ill race ya..but you might win.. .. nice colour, striking in fact...

 

[JillyB]

WOWWWWWWWWW, Marry me????

 

[colin241182]

im with ben j. might not b ugly but the old school deffinetly are allot nicer from the front

 

[RobFenn]

Sure its a great drive but far too ugly for my liking. Daz you need to check out some good looking cars. That blues nice, reminds me of something!

 

[Tom]

who resprayed it cup blue?

 

[wongy008]

looks good but whats with that vent

am i the only one to think its too much

its just too high. once again the scooby is a good looker again
