Clio V6 Owners/Buyers thread.

Hopefully it will give some insight to potential buyers. The Vee running costs are minimialist, contraty to popular belief!!

If there is anything else you want to know give me a shout. Nipping out for some photo's on Sunday, weather permitting! :)
 
Well done Ali. Remember seeing the pic of the car when you first bought it.

When are we sorting out a meet again?

Good right up mate.
 
Did someone say Scottish V6 gathering???!

Great, honest write up Ali.

Worth noting that many parts are shared across the Clio range e.g. the boot lock mechanism which was replaced on mine last week. To my mind, the V6 it's right up there in terms of £ per smiles.
 
Yeh, we do need to do a meet! I'll sort something...Look out for a thread on V6clio.net
 
Awesome read. I've never made it a secret that the V6 doesn't float my boat visually, but that's personal taste, and the car is a credit to you and your care for it. PMSL at annual paint costs though, such a bender! Personally, I'm more of a drive it than look at it kind of bender, but each to their own. Love the BMW by the way, even though I still think the front end makes it look half asleep ;)
 
V6 is a love it or hate it car. You're right. If you hate it, you'll never like, at best you'll learn to appreciate it for what it is. "A bonkers, mid engine clio!"

I'm the same as you, i drive the car to the limit, it's been on track....douzen odd times, been to ring. But at the same time, i still like it looking pampered! There's the difference.

Bm's a wee cracker, ironically i never loved it to start with...But it is a crackin bus!
 
Fun, reliable, different and exciting to drive and look at. It's going to be a daily as well. That's why both are good options.
 
you can't park it anywhere (both because its a t**t to park and people hover round it like flys round s**t)
 
Fantastic write up Ali, she looks spot on. Does she do speed bumps regarding lowering her? They only just manage them on standard suspension!
 
is it a flat covered floor on these v6's?

much room underneath regarding ground clearance or not?

cracking write up btw.
 
No issues with speedbumps, although i tend to avoid them! Where you have tufts for a lack of a better word in the middle of the road and a road which is very well used, sometimes you scrape the middle!!! (I've got a good shine on the underside of mine)

I'm glad people are taking something from the write up! More to come next year.
 
Just read it all mate, and it makes me want one so much! :). May have to wait quite a few years only being 18 Lol.

Great write up and in one word, EPIC car! :)

Great Read mate. You have a stunning looking one to. Really makes me miss mine now. Dont think ill get to own another one though.
 
Top Thread...

Just a quick question, you state that the refurb cost for the front bumper and bonnet is an annual cost why is that?
 
thought it would be that, but needing to do it every year is a bit much.... I suppose if your car is a keeper than you'd do it..
 
For sure you don't have to, but at a couple of hundred quid it's penny's for keeping the car looking spotless!...

Addicted - Whats your e-mail, i'll ping a couple over.

Dunno if i'll get the old girl on the road this year. I've got alot that needs doing/fitted...
  • Safety Devices cage to be fitted,
  • Harnesses to be fitted,
  • Rear bumper is being cut out,
  • Recaro's lowered,
  • Repaint the front end (Didn't do it this yr)
  • Will need to polish up the exhuast professionally given that it'll be on show.
  • gbox oil changed, put the wrong fluid in it this yr and it was too chewy!!
  • Calipers repainted as i don't like the white AP Grafix
 
Cracking write up Ali. You mean it's going to shows this year... ?
 
Unlikely wee guy! Not that bothered tbh, car owes me nowt, so doesn't matter if it make it out the garage or not.
 
Very good read that. I need to get my front end painted like you do every year. I don't trust to leave the car with a body shop though.
