[madlymodified]

[madlymodified]

[Melissa]

Gypsy site?

 

[Laura182]

Welcome

 

[madlymodified]

lol, you could be fooled
but nope, my freind ows a storage yard, as i have far too many toys to keep it on the drive atm...

 

[D4N13L]

Gypsy site?

I was scared to ask that.

Have you been on barryboys with that rep?

 

[madlymodified]

lol, its not that bad, i paid £500 for it
as i have a jacked up hilux, which, working in a school can be sometimes inapropriate, lol
so just wanted something cheaper to run around in
like i said needs work but for an everyday car, ill swallow the jokes

 

[marinemackay2003]

welcome to cs

swallow the jokes you will lol

but hey 500 squids not bad

 

[Vicky.]

Well if it's just a run around....but the 16v badge! :S

 

[Chrisjk]

I think there is a thread dedicated to that clio on here..... and it wasn't positive.

Welcome.

 

[rich_1989]

well all i can say is if its 500 quid and runs then its a bargain, so what if you could pitch a tent in the rear wheel archs the point is, you havnt come on here like many have in the past making out its amazing, and you can take some banter, i say well done to you sir, and with some major modifaction (and removal of the 16v sticker) then it can look nice, oh and hi

 

[Bazzon]

Another failed V6 rep lolz

Welcome though.

 

[Plummer]

Welcome!

Looks not bad! The kit is probably worth more than 500 alone!

Would benefit from some big spacers.

 

[tommy g]

welcome!
ide personally get rid of.....
front light masks,
16v badge on the boot.

then get a proper trophy/v6 spoiler,
black mesh on the rear bumper,
lower it 60mm,
get the roof and bonnet sprayed to match the rest of the car!

then it would look alot better!

Hello mate, welcome to CS

could be a good rep with a few tweaks, i think less would be more in this case, the body kit alone says all it needs, the extra bits aren't adding anything but for the money who could complain at that!

 

[madlymodified]

oh i will
those pics were taken the day i got it back
the back seats have already gone
as have the light masks and 16v badge
and the wheels have gone black... which is the theme im going to try and continue througout the car... ie mesh and side pods
the car alreay has HUGE spacers... ill take some more pics later just to give you the sort of idea i mean so the 205's will be swapped for something like 255's... if thell fit
and it has..belive it or not, already been lowered... even though looking like its on stilts. hence joining the forum to get some advice
i really would like a roll cage for the car, but have no idea where to look
cheers for all the comments btw, im completely aware that plastic body kits are not most peoples thing, but im a massive fan of the v6 and its looks, and with a real one in the garage to match it against in hopefully wont be long until this ones looking a bit tidier

 

[cat171]

Nice colour looks like mine.

 

[Chrisjk]

Nice colour looks like mine.

Your rep is pretty good Craig, not sure about the use of a laguna engine though

 

[madlymodified]

what laguna was that??

 

[Aluco]

A V6 one (He has a real V6 which uses the old V6 laguna engine)

 

[madlymodified]

genuinely didnt know that
so why is it they reccomend they have the cambelts done every 20,000 if there a laguna engine?? cost just under £1000 to have it done last year
(this is on the real one)

 

[cat171]

Cambelt is every 5 years or 72k on them. It does almost cost a grand to change though.

 

[rich_1989]

my bro has the v6 laguna, they only come 198bhp and they the 3 litre one so i think the clio v6 must have a much better head and set of cams, but still the laguna v6 is nice, pulls nice too.
