Grey R32

[FlameR]

On the back of this original thread, a few pics the chap that checked it out for me took!

Only plans for it are milltek and cupra R splitter for now!

At first I thought that red mark on the sie of the car was paint or whatever...clearly just a reflection of the door light

 

[Scutch]

Very tidy, mate. The grey is a bit of a dark horse, too. Very rare, especially within the usual blue and black crowd.

 

[FlameR]

Yeah, I suppose it's a bit marmite to be honest. You either think it's a completely dull and boring colour, or you're like me who thinks it's a nice subtle colour, that'll look awesome at dusk with the xenons blazin'

 

[Justin]

Nice! Looks very clean, but the seats are not for me.. Black leather looks 10x better IMO

 

[Daz.]

Nope really like it in that colour.

 

[CabinFever]

Looks very tidy. My friend had a 5 door in the Grey, and is very rare!

 

[Gally]

Like Justin said about the seats, I thought they only did the one black style.

 

[Englebert]

Like the grey exterior, but not keen on the grey seats.

I'd fit a Mk5 steering wheel!

 

[FlameR]

Yeah the steering wheel looks a bit dated!
Not sure a MK5 steering wheel will be cheap though!

And I know the interior is not to everyones taste. Gotta be better than the Astra interior though, although the heated recaros are good!

 

[Englebert]

Yep, can't beat heated seats!

 

[Munson]

Not keen on the inflatable chairs.

 

[ForceIndia]

Not keen on the inflatable chairs.

Not enough %?

 

[FlameR]

What is this seat thing all about!? 300% seats n all that shiz?

 

[Scutch]

Just another to add to the collection

 

[Munson]

No one can be told what 300% chairs are.

 

[Naith]

that is yummy.

seats at 132% iirc

 

[dalla]

That is awesome. Love that colour

 

[clio007]

Is it from hemel hempstead?

 

[FlameR]

^^ yes mate!

 

[clio007]

Ive seen this a couple of times and it always looks mint. Defo go for the milltek you wont look back - but you can always do the 'flapper mod' for the meantime.
I couldn't find a 5 door Anthracite Grey R32 when i was looking - so your lucky finding a low mileage one. It really is a stunning colour in the flesh

 

[Marv-C]

Great colour for the R32. Looks very classy. Like the interior colour as well but it must be hard to keep clean.

Very close to 300% chairs there too

 

[SteveS Cup]

Beautiful. If only the lower dash and door cards were black!

Lovely all the same but are you coming from a Renault sport? If you are you'll be bored of driving it soon... V dubs offer no driving thrills IMO.

 

[FlameR]

I've had a 172 previously. I loved that car, but after a while and doing 70 miles a day in it the rattles, poor build quality, loooud exhaust and hard ride (coilovers) got a bit tedious.

In an ideal world I'd still have it, but use it for weekend blasts and track days. But couldn't afford that.

I wanted something well made, big engine, nice sound (not too loud) and bit more of a cruiser.

I wouldn't expect everyone on a clio forum to be a fan of Golfs anyway to be honest. But I've always liked them, and fits the bill for what I want and need.

 

[SteveS Cup]

I love the mk4 R32!!!

It's a fantastic car, very similar to my old TT.

 

[Chris205]

very rare colour, my mate was after one in that colour for a while, hes going for DBP instead as he likes the colour even though its common

 

[jamboyscott]

you jammy b*****d lol,looks good mate and a rare colour you will need to get some videos up for sure

 

[maynard]

Really nice that, can't say I've seen that colour before either.

 

[Davis]

love the colour! looks smart mate

 

[Christopher]

Awesome colour. Terrible interior colour though!!

 

[Ben.]

looks awesome, i really want a R32 one day

 

[FlameR]

I appreciate the interior isn't to everyone's taste lol. But I kinda like it.

Picking it up Friday afternoon

 

[FlameR]

Just for info there were only 31 grey RHD R32s made

hen's teeth

 

[Christopher]

Awesome mate

 

[Ad]

Nice and for me, its the only colour were the light grey interior works!

 

[FlameR]

yeah, I like the interior

canny wait til Friday

 

[gogsie]

Lovely colour I miss my grey one. Only 120 of these ever made and only 33 in the uk.

 

[DazG]

Very nice indeed!

I looked for a grey R32 for ages but settled on a black one in the end.

Milltek is a must if you want a bit of noise.

Sounds great in a built up area!

 

[FlameR]

Does it sound like a Vulcan on full chat?

Gogsie, that looks amazing fella.

Gogsie, that looks amazing fella.

I had the non resonating single silencer job on mine and it was quite loud.

Probably to loud for a normal person to use everyday, I managed it though!

A few people described it as sounding like a Messerschmitt.

Got a random video I took ages ago...

[FlameR]

Christ, sounds class.

Not sure I could put up with it day in day out though!

I got bored of the sound on my clio! Droned like a b**ch when cruising at about 50-60 mph
