Kerry's 172



  Clio 197
Hello there. I've had my clio for about 3 months now so thought it was about time to add a progress thread. Before this car i've owned 8 others, including 3 astra's, a saxo vts and 2 vtrs, a 206 and a 306.
Sorry about the pictures, i broke my camera so the majority of them are phone pictures.

this was the day i got it stopped at asda garage for it's first fill up :D

When i bought it, it was as standard as it could be, nothing was aftermarket and it was in perfect condition, although the owners didn't bother cleaning it for me :/
I swapped my smooth saxo vtr for it with £400 their way for this.
When it was light enough to take pics the next day, with my boyfriends clio too.

100% better. I loved my saxo's though and they did stick to the road loads better (maybe because they were lowered). But they felt really unsafe and they had problems. The clio hasnt had any problems except the hazard light don't work. I think this, and my mk5 astra, are defo the best cars i've owned!! i love it :D

Love silver clios/black pro race1.2's. Just looks right. Don't worry, something will break/ new rattle, after all tis French :)

The cup looks clean.

The 172 needs decent wheels though.

Jodie's Saxo is very smart when you see it in the flesh.

Certainly one of the better finished 'cleaned/euro' Saxo's out there.

Welcome to the Clio side, yet another one from SaxP lol.

Yeah i've seen the guide as my boyfriend's a paid member, but i was wondering if there's a way without sanding them as i don't trust myself :/ The majority of my cars have been french so it wouldn't surprise me if something went wrong. Thanks Whiskerz16v, i'll give it a shot :D the headlights look tacky against clean paintwork :/ Yes scattle, love your car :D The saxo is Jodies, the cleanest one i've seen tbh.

i would love to lower it but i have to wait until i renew my insurance as diamond won't allow me to lower it or have an exhaust or engine modifications atm. Thats one reason i can't wait until i'm 21 :D
