LY Clio 182

[Naughty Boy]

Paid a deposit on this today, needs some work but was cheap enough.

Couple of dents that need sorting on 1/4 panels, don’t think it’s been cleaned throughly for a long time.

Nothing exciting pic wise.

 

[JamesBryan]

That crease near the offside rear light hasn't cracked the paint has it?

 

[Oggy997]

Definitely a previous write off, would rather have VO54 FFZ

Come again? How does a dent become a write off?

On the very edge slightly yes.

 

[JamesBryan]

On the very edge slightly yes.

Respray was accounted for in the price i take it then

Paid 2.3k, I thought that was cheap enough. Box rebuilt last year, belts 2015. Mot history is good.

I’m not going to make it a stunner, going to daily it so presentable is the goal.

Nice!! Not seen an LY 182 in a long time!

Yeah not too bad, probably would have tried to get him to £2k

 

[Naughty Boy]

Yeah not too bad, probably would have tried to get him to £2k

I tried initially, he had it up for 3k and was being harassed.

It’s hard to price LY as if it was silver it’s a 1k car.

 

[Jack!]

Wtf is that splitter?

 

[JamesBryan]

What exhaust is that? Looks a bit like a Yozza with the outward rolled tips.

 

[Naughty Boy]

Wtf is that splitter?

No f**king idea ?? he asked to keep
It, no drama I said whip it off.

 

[Jack!]

How does your insurance work with all these cars? Do you have trade insurance?

Surprised you didn't let him.

Is the Seat/Skoda one still cheap?

Not sure, it’s not very loud if a yozza. I reckon it might me a long life or similar.

 

[JamesBryan]

Was gonna say, there would be some money in it there 2nd hand if it were a Yozza.

 

[Naughty Boy]

I did, he’s taking it off. Looks shite.

How does your insurance work with all these cars? Do you have trade insurance?

I have 6x cars insured with Paceward.

4x full no claims and the other 2x have phantom no claims, what ever that means

 

[JamesBryan]

Looks like the old Megane/Laguna splitter.

 

[Louis]

Aren't Laguna splitters worth like £60 now?

 

[cat171]

Looks like the old Megane/Laguna splitter.

Yep, it is.

 

[Naughty Boy]

Aren't Laguna splitters worth like £60 now?

Should all be binnned. Horrible things!

Usual CS mods but will look brilliant.

Laguna splitters were like hot cakes in the late 90s, the weapon on choice, can't believe how rare they are now. They look similar ish to the non sports with the grill slats. I would rather that or a MK1 Megane splitter over a flat Fabia one though, CS really need to research another alternative instead of the flat look.

In LY I would say it's a bargain. Doesn't seem that long ago my mrs sold her one for £££

Nice to see both Cup packs also!

 

[Coops Mk1]

Amazing the colour premium for LY, like you say it's a 1000 quid car in silver.

Still, tidy up and it'll be worth more than you paid so laughing

 

[Jack!]

It's the best car colour ever, bar maybe Midnight Purple or Merlin Purple. it deserves its premium.

 

[Naughty Boy]

Touch wood it will clean up well, like I said it will never be a minter. I was pleased to see it's not had paint (not sure on front bumper yet) so all panels are uniform and correct shade which is a bonus. Prices for these vary so much, all I know is in the LY world this i scraping the barrel in terms of price.

 

[Coops Mk1]

Defo @Ant1 got too of been the cheapest one about

 

[Naughty Boy]

Other than drivers seat I also have a mint unmarked interior ready to fit! Includes parcelshelf, door cards, window switches, silver dash trim, head unit, hazard panel, aircon panel, front passenger seat and rear seats.

 

[Chris_Beer]

You mean the interior is already fine ?

 

[Naughty Boy]

No I have a as new interior to put in. Had it ages.

 

[leeds_182]

Love liquid yellow but I couldn’t live with that dent and belts due next year. I think it’s all the money at 2.3k with the mileage.

 

[Naughty Boy]

My bad, belts done 2016 so due 2021.

I’ll get the dent sorted.

 

[Chris_Beer]

It's 14 years old ffs

Next month everyone will be saying this is the best on ClioSport lol

 

[Pistachio]

Should be a great daily when it's sorted. I'd love a LY

 

[roland rat]

Did you by this from Swansea Area?

 

[deanoE30M3]

It’s had a lot of owners, something like 10 or 11 even before ant buying it!

Quite a few of the ly cars have. A consequence of the colours popularity I suppose.

 

[Naughty Boy]

Bridgend, do you know it?

 

[Naughty Boy]

I’m the 9th owner. Not really fussed tbh as it was cheap enough not to be a problem.

If it was a 5k plus car that would possibly make me feel different.

 

[roland rat]

Bridgend, do you know it?

Yes its done the rounds around here but looked nice and clean when i saw it about 12 months ago
