Hi B, welcome to the crazy club. I'm sure you'll find the guys and gals very welcoming. This place has been a fountain of knowledge since I joined

Welcome to Clio Sport

 

[Budgie]

What does everyone think?

 

[jimbo666]

[DebV6]

Looks very nice

 

[Budgie]

Thanks, am thinking.... Anthracite Turinis, coilovers, Rs grill, thoughts? suggestions?

 

[jimbo666]

good call. a bit of colour coding would go down well too

 

[Leeshez]

Hello and welcome

 

[ja.jack]

Hi Budge! Heaps of knowledgeable, interesting, helpful, mad ,people on here.
I'm sure your life will be enriched.

 

[Budgie]

All colour coding in flame red? What about the badges? Have seen a few around with different colour detailing. Quite like the idea.

 

[JACKO CUP 172!]

hi there newbie..

 

[jimbo666]

yea all the colour coding in flame red. bumper strips and side strips etc. would look alot better!

 

[Anim@l]

Looks sweet m8. Have fun and look after her. Welcome to CS btw.

 

[Budgie]

Will prove quite expensive to have it how i really want her though.
Maybe be easier to just wait for a 172 cup? I think so.

 

[lee_cup]

oh no, thats a shame mate, thougha 172 cup is a good choice

welcome to the club by the way mate

 

[al]

Welcome to CS!!

p.s. SNAP!!

And how much if you don't mind me asking?

PM if you don't wanna say on forum

 

[Budgie]

£6000, on the road, with total loss protection and a years tax, so car on it's own at about £5600. I love the snap! Have to take some proper pics of mine when i pick it up.... Roll on Saturday morning! Seeing Yours like that makes me want to keep it standard, It's hot!

 

[al]

Cool

Lol, my last clio was totally standard for 2 years i'm very tempted to do the same with this but I feel it needs lowering a touch

 

[Budgie]

You had yours long then mate?
Yea, i have thought about spending a bit of money on it, but then also don't want to risk ruining it. Would be such a shame.
How much you have to pay for your beast then?

 

[al]

Had it since Friday

Paid £4,400 with a years tax, it's a 2004 with Climate and Electric Sunroof.

I think it'll get lowered, and maybe colourcoded but not sure yet.

 

[lee_cup]

yeh get it colourcoded, such a simple but highly affective mod

 

[Budgie]

Fair price i suppose, all the usual too? Is it a dynamique?
What you have before? Pleased with it? I guess so!

 

[al]

Lol, very fair price, all the usual, Dynamique etc

Very pleased with it

This was my old bus, 2003 1.6 16v Dynamique.

What car are you coming from?

 

[Budgie]

A slightly dented 1.1 Punto, Sporting alloys. Or is that a swear word on CS?!
Is your new one a 1.6? Or you down graded?
Excuse the bad spelling?

 

[al]

Everyones gotta start somewhere matey, I had a Renault 5 for 2 years

New one is a 1.2 16v, so kinda a downgrade

 

[Budgie]

Yea, was going to say, much of a difference?
No, it was really nice, as puntos go, would post pic, but phone is playing up.

 

[al]

Erm, suspension is definately softer and it's a little slower but in everyday driving it's not that much different TBH

Would be good to see a pic if you can get one up matey!

 

[Budgie]

I don't know how too, it's just a file on my comp, any ideas on how to post a file from my pc? Yea, I wanted a 1.6 16v, or even a 1.4.... but insurance really isnt kind to 18year olds.

[robbie17]

Car looks sweet budge, roll on saturday ey, what time we picking it up?

 

[Budgie]

Don't know my man? Pick you up at about 10? Will have to see what Smc say though... also depends on insurance coming through in time. Hate insurance companies!
