Few pics of the new motor

[Gaz_]

After pining after my old 197 for nearly 12 months, i sold my 172 Cup to another member off here (top bloke!) a few weeks ago. Sooo, managed to source this for a good price

Its not clean, i was sorting out a set of spare 197 Recaros to sell, so had my camera handy, so why not,

You may notice that it has no centre caps, that was my other job today, spraying them black, as Renault give you anthricite ones Probably wont get the love the 200's get on here, but i love it

Gaz.

Will pop them back in tomorrow

 

[Daniel]

You two will look like a right pair of benders with matching cars! lol.

 

[Gaz_]

nah, he is 'moth balling' his car over winter :S

 

[Daniel]

is he?! Christ.

you please with it? I knew you'd be back in one before too long!

 

[Gaz_]

Yup, epic, such a good looking motor! Once i've sorted the radio (cup ones are crap) i'll leave it be, very sorted set up!

Now buy my recaros?!

I have the mohoney waiting for a set of recaros... You want top dollar though. Thats understandable.

Is that the Eila spoiler? Love it!

 

[Gaz_]

Yeah, i do think the RS spoiler looks good on a GW, but this is fine for me imo!

 

[The_Pirate]

Do not be a female, this is fine and suits the car lol..

 

[ForceIndia]

Looks nice.

[Gaz_]

Cheers. Its no way as 'brutal' as the 172 Cup, just a nicer place be. Takes a bit of getting used to coming from the B14'd Cup!

 

[DrR]

I keep twitching for a 197/200 but keep thinking, no need a house first!

 

[Gaz_]

Yeah, same here really but not looking till next summer so meh. Going in with the long term gf. With selling the Cup and the Recaros i've only dipped a few kk into my savings, so be reet! I'd have loved a SG 200, on that pcp deal but didnt want to tie myself into it for 2 years really.

 

[VIICarCare]

I like that very much, much better than the 200's

 

[bill]

very nice Gaz, glad you got what you where after, is the project thread up yet?

still loving the cup, will get some pics up eventually when i get a sec and give her a clean

 

[oliver.james]

Likes; best colour combo imo!

 

[Fletcher]

Nice one Gaz, White cups look great!

 

[Whiteley]

Christ you've had a few Clios now!

Looks spot on

 

[Jimbo_M]

Lovely mate, im sure you will have it looking its best in no time at all

Missing the cup much? that was a mint example!

 

[172Ben]

Love it!

How much they going for?

 

[nick.]

looks great doesn't look to dirty in the pics though.

 

[Leeshez]

Lookin good.

 

[Gaz_]

Cheers guys!

Christ you've had a few Clios now!

Looks spot on

I know, it needs to stop! Indecisive mind ftl

 

[Paul.]

thats gorgeous! I love that

 

[Jamie]

How many Clio's have you had now?

I think it's nice. Will you miss the spec difference between the old 197 and 197 Cup?

 

[Alex_X93]

Nice options id loose the cup door badge for pefection. It looks as good as your previous cup and 197 keep up the good work.

Um

172 Cup
182 Cupped
197
172 Cup
197 Cup.

Stupid Clio fetish

Only thing i really miss is electric mirrors and o/s temp guage! Bit pikey that really. If the the loom is there, it might just need a sensor. But being Renault its probably not that simple!

 

[Jamie]

Some list. Can't beat the Clio in many respects imo. Cheap (Ones I buy anyway), fun, quick, low running costs (Not fuel on the 197/200 ).

Just a question as to how long you'll be keeping this one then!?

 

[ForceIndia]

Only one behind me!

200's giving me 33mpg at the moment.

 

[Jamie]

Haha, yeah. Did notice that thread! I chose to ignore it. Before long I won't be able to go on (and on, and on) about it. But shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I'd rather have the Trophy if it helps!!

Aye thats it. I did toy with a Meggy or something but i think the Clio pace is just right, and cheap to run (dont do massive miles, or use it for work) Averaging around 30 mpg in this one, so not too bad!

I should (need) to keep this for three years really!

 

[J273]

love it!

How much are these worth now days?

 

[Christopher]

LOL! Looks ace, but you really should've just kept you 197!

 

[Gaz_]

Yes yes, pipe down you!

Spotted you the other week (well the motor) In Manchester near the centre!

 

[Gally]

Love it!

Great choice mate!

 

[Christopher]

I can't talk mate, I said I'd be using the 133 and saving some money over winter. I'm still using the 182 and spending on it. lol

Where abouts did you see me?

Ummmm, not really sure? (not well up with manc cc) I was at a set of lights, not a million miles away from the Hilton, you came from the right, straight across, i was stealth in the van!
