Hi...Here's my New Clio V6

[Boccarp]

Just received it last night. 10 months waiting! Yea I love it!

 

[hopgop1]

I'll be honest, I'm not a fan of the wheels; but still a great looking car as all the V6's are. Where are you from?

 

[Coops Mk1]

As above, Looks super clean but the wheels are like something from need for speed underground

 

[Pistachio]

I love the wheels. Really adds to the already big character of the car

 

[leeds_182]

Those wheels need to go!

 

[BREMBO]

Nice, enjoy!

 

[Hxrry]

The wheels don't look bad imo, the originals would look great but I could live with those!

Enjoy the car!

 

[Tommyd1]

I love with your purchase, always wanted 1 and probably maybe oneday I'll be able to afford 1 but yes them wheels belong to a JDM import I reckon 🤔 anyways hope you drive it like u stole it and enjoy every second 👍 finally back behind the wheel of my rs200 😁

 

[DomP182]

Lose the wheels and get those air intakes silver

 

[Gally]

I’m actually confused by the wheels.

 

[CrippsCorner]

I’m actually confused by the wheels.

In what sense?

I saw this yesterday but didn't comment because I thought they were horrendous.

However today I don't think they're the worst I've ever seen... but by gosh they're huge, like 2" too big at least.

 

[noyzboy]

Ignore the comments. Enjoy the car. They are great

 

[Robbie Corbett]

Congratulations, I take it the wheels aren't staying?

 

[Yarp]

Congratulations on the purchase but please lose the wheels. They make it look very max power. Would look best on anthracite turinis IMO

You ever seen how difficult it is to get wheels to fit the Clio V6…?

I would also take a guess that it’s even harder in what looks like usa/canada

Exactly!

It’ll be Canada, cars need to be 25 years old before they can hit the US iirc

 

[youngarthur]

Lucky man, leave the wheels as they are, and enjoy the car.

 

[Superwoman90]

Nice purchase mate, guess the wheels are marmite but it's your car so keep them if you like them. That's all that matters.

 

[Mr Squashie]

Looks like something I'd have built in Gran Turismo 4 so I kinda like it.

 

[Boccarp]

car is sic! I don't know the more I look at the car the more i love the wheels too! It rips. took it to the track today. easily as fast as my Focus RS with the monotone motor. Little tricky handling at the limit. Kinda like a 911 or 930 that has been shortened by about a foot.

 

[Boccarp]

its currently the only Phase II in the US

If you need any parts or advice feel free to get in touch. I'm based in Canada.

If saw this car go through auction in Japan, it was in nice condition. At auction it sold for more money than it was advertised at the dealership 2 weeks prior which did give me a chuckle.

Enjoy the car!

thanks...just sorting it out right now. car is wicked clean. planning on some upgrades. maybe a set of T25's turbos with water/air intercoolers?

I think hunting for power could be tricky path to go down!

Some OEM Phase 2 wheels would be a nice touch, then just enjoy the car.

 

[Danith]

That is awesome.

Wheels don't look cheap! Bit brash but who gives a s**t! I love it. Didn't even know US folk knew what a renault was ha

They are known to spin the clutch as standard.

I probably wouldn't.

 

[Louis]

The wheels would look great powdercoated a less garish colour imho!

Still the bodywork looks insanely clean.

for possible tuning information. Only 5 pounds UK to join up.

The trend in the UK is mostly to keep them stock cos they are stupid prices now and that's what the market wants, but when the cars were younger and much cheaper people did tune them.
Look for older threads.
With such a short wheelbase you could easily make the car unusable with more power

 

[riber3]

LHD?? ca in UK??

There's a few of us still modifying them.

Shame others aren't with a few mods they become a very different beast.

That must be a great feeling to have - knowing that nowhere out on the roads in your country would you come across the same car as yours.

 

[Boccarp]

yea...I have several cars like that in my collection. He's my Venturi 400 Trophy. One of 72 in the world. I think there are two in the US.

 

[16V F7R]

Very nice collection you have!
If this was at an auction in Japan, why is it a left hand drive. It can’t be a Japanese Lutetcia, isn’t it that they called Clio’s over there? Either way they must have been left hookers in Japan or it’s travelled more? Looks very clean.
Definitely fit KW 3 way variant coil overs ASAP. It is a must for a V6. Transforms the whole car and on standard suspension it’s bloody dangerous to be fair!
Sell those SUV wheels to pay for them! Sorry I had to say it!
