anyone confirm the differences between the rsi and si 1.6's?if there is any?cheers

Si is 8v and 90bhp. Doesn't have electric mirrors etc. Think the dual optics were optional, although easy to retro-fit. Different alloy wheels.

1.6 Si
1.6 RSi

its just cos my cars the si 16v and wondering whats different with the 1.6's,

Weird, never heard of a 1.6 Si 16v. It's either 1.6 Si 8v, or 1.6 RSi 16v. The only Clio I can think of with full leather seats is the 172 Exclusive, even the standard sports models only have half leather.

Do you have an electric sunroof? Electric drivers seat? Heated mirrors?

Edit: Just seen the photo. Tbh pal, I haven't got a clue. If it's an Si or RSi it should say it on the door badges. However it does have an electric sunroof, so I'm not sure what else it could be! Some cross-breed by the look of it.

 

[Josh@Renparts]

had an SI in for breaking that was a 1.4 16v. I also believe the RSI is the only mk2 ph1 with a leather stitched steering wheel.

 

[CLIO-Si]

well this is my second clio the last one was the 1.6 8v but no aircon+extras and on a t plate this ones a v reg,
i have elec sunroof but no elec seats or heated mirrors,

 

[Ian]

Any photos of your engine or interior? I think whoever had it before you has been modding it with OEM parts. Still not sure about the leather interior though, looks very similar to a 172 interior from what I can see. Full size spoiler too (My 1.6 Si had the smaller one with red brake light).

 

[CLIO-Si]

iv got leather door cards sections front and back,steering wheel is leather but not same colour/faded/worn
