[LiamR172]

So, after wanting one for ages, i found one cheap enough and close enough so me and my brother went to get it yesterday. was pretty dirty tbh, guy didnt even clean it for the viewing!

managed to get 1 picture, i shall get more once i give it a good going over.

its not in the best of condition but nothing that cant be fixed, 17'' wheels coming off for a start!

ill get some more pics up another day.

Looks like a good start mate. Any plans?

 

[Tomas]

looks good , whats up with the other clio has it been lowered or out?

 

[Scott™]

Nice car, more pictures required!

 

[Kieran..]

best colour

Nice to here that mate.

How old are you?

 

[Matt W]

Congrats

It annoys me when people don't even clean a car when it's for sale. I spent 2 hours cleaning the clio when someone came to look at it

I hope it's cheap, as it's appearing to be an un-loved barry-boy-mobile!

 

[BlazeYouQuick]

Nice start. Love the colour.

That plate rings a bell, pretty sure I've seen this somewhere before. Where did it come from?

I got it for 1700. I've not had a chance to give it a proper clean yet as I stay away through the week, ill get it this weekend and get some better pictures.

I got it from Aberfeldy which is in scotland. Guy lived on an estate so there's a few light scratches from bushes etc.. They will polish out though.

I'm 19, and yes the insurance is expensive. The 1.2 clio is my old one, its lowered on multie spoke wheels. Now selling it for 900! 11 months mot and 5 months tax.

Bad thing about the 172 is that its on 17's, so hopefully get a set of standard wheels soon when I save again.

I do have some plans but I'm going to keep it as standard as I can, few bits and bobs wrapped in carbon and a good detail and it should be looking good

Lucky you! I can't find a decent one round here How much is your insurance?

 

[LiamR172]

Its expensive, but everything is expensive for anyone under 25 now!

The 172 seems to die at 4500 rpm. Instead of the vvi kicking in, it seems to be a flat spot. Only does it sometimes, other times it gives the kick and goes like stink. Ill try get it looked at this weekend, any ideas anyone?

Plugs or coilpack breaking down?

 

[Leeshez]

Nice indeed .
