The Fatty said:im sure the site says for ALL clios. dosnt say anything about the clioSport name relating to the RenualtSport cars...
OLI said:cars for goin fast on budget:
pulsar gti-r, starlet gt-turbo, mazda 323 turbo, scooby turbo, rx7, supra, skyline r32, evo2, mr2, mitsubishi gto, escort rst, old tvr, the list goes on...
The Fatty said:oh and the standard clios do look a bit sh*t, even renualt must have thought so as the new ones look like a cross between a 306 and focus.
clio__chris said:usual useful comments coming out here!!
anyway heres mine lowered on fks (new wheels coming soon)
sharpie said:personally i dont see the problem with making a 1.4 or whatever look like a RS.
isn't it the same with you lot with your 172/182 sticking on cup spoilers and that?
pot... kettle.
Ali said:Vee isn't much quicker than a cup! And Isn't the easiest to drive. Name a car which looks good, avoids the chavvy cheapness (Like Subaru's) Goes well cost 5k, and will outpace it on track?

u33db said:With the greatest of respect Ali, the 'weve got the power' argument is a bit lame. While the RS is probably quickest of all clios its still just a glorified shopping trolley and in the grand scheme of things isn't anywhere near the quickest thing on the roads.
I'm not denying its a good car but if you think having an extra 80-100bhp sets you guys apart from 1.2/1.4/1.6 peeps when modifying you're sadly mistaken...they're still 'just' a clio matey!
Timmay said:I'd like to point out (after reading the earlier posts) that i think it is silly making a smaller engined car look like a faster one i.e. 1.4 into an RS.
CDMullins said:Spot on!! Cannot argue with that!! Been saying for agers Its just a Clio, It like its some elite club to have a RS, the only Clio that gets that respect from me is the Vee, Loads of everyday people drive RS but only a true enthiusat will have a vee!
And Ali, yes i proabably could have bought and insured and 172 or just a little more, but then id look like every other boring 172 on the road!! For me its all about been different and making something for people to love or hate!! Ive got enough years to go fast but ill grow out of the exterior modifying! And when it is time to go fast it wont be a clio im driving!!

Think aftermarket spoilers etc on any car are s**t and a waste of money but that's just my preference....each to their own.
