[Alan]

Cool, where'd you get it mate??

 

[Giles]

france mate

 

[Giles]

hello

 

[clio_luke]

haha, nice one. looks great

 

[Marky_]

That's cool. 1:18th?

 

[Skinny]

needs coilovers ASAP, lol

 

[DebV6]

Ahh bless

 

[j6 pkp]

yeah needs lowering!!

 

[Christopher]

nice!

 

[Leeshez]

Mint

 

[Tim(e)]

The cup car version in yellow looks awesome as well!

 

[Fletcher]

Liking that.

 

[182joe]

saw these in the renault garage, nice.

 

[daviebroon]

looks like a really cheap one tbh.... dodgy decals, huge gaps etc. Still smart though

Always wanted the 172 cup one i seen on here a couple of years ago... but it looked a bit naff and rarer than rocking-horse poo

 

[GinandGasoline]

decals on the bootlid spoil it... get out the hairdryer Giles!

 

[Rage]

yeah giles! lmfao

smart as

p.s...whats the first mod?

 

[RichRSi]

Nice, one
I wish someone would produce a ph1 172 in 1:18, they are nearly half way there with most of the casting from the mk1 v6. A valver in 1:18th would be good...along with a maxi rally version.......oh, and a super1600.......

[cat171]

Ahh, you got one then I've got a 1/18 of mine too.

 

[stu197]

I couldn't get a black one,so i got a nimbus one,it looks more silver though

 

[GinandGasoline]

the sport badge is in the wrong font (it's the style seen on a 17/182) and the height of the lettering isn't in scale with the rest of the car.

i'm a fussy f*cker! :rasp:

 

[daviebroon]

^ you'd think the font on the rear plate would give the factory an idea lol

 

[Renault_Boy01]

awesome

i agree...

out with the wet n dry, and a polish up afterwards... thats what i did with the RS Team decals and racing stripes on my Inferno 182 model

 

[pinky]

Oooh I want one of my car..do they make mk2 ph2's in black??

 

[Day]

So infact what you are saying is that it's highly accurate to an original?

 

[Tigger]

I can't see it :S

lmfao quite possibly

 

[Djw John]

I can't see it :S

I think Giles deleted the pic cos hes left the club (again) no doubt in the huff cos people are being honest about the model.

It looked alright but the decals were defo wrong!

Unfortunatly 1:18 scale (which are the larger models) of the 1*2 have never been produced (to my knowledge) i would love to be prooved wrong on that though. There are 1:43 and smaller clio 1*2's available, infact I think Renault dealerships used to sell them. The quality (dispite being small) was very good, but they are hard to get hold of now.

Here's a couple of my 1:18 renaults taken with my phone a while back so excuse the quality.

 

[pinky]

They are soooo cool..

 

[cat171]

Mine, to match the real one

The engine cover is removable too for uber geekness

 

[GinandGasoline]

I can't see it :S

I bet you've put your plate on it aswell!

 

[H182]

^me neither

 

[cat171]

Gareth, it is a good quality model yeah. It's made by Norev, both them & revell's models are the same just with different branding. It was a mission to get hold of it as you can only really get silver ones in the uk. I eventually got it from ebay in france.

Alex nah mate, I haven't it's still in it's box at the min as i've run out of space Although you've given me an idea to mod it now

No idea why some can't see the pic etc, mines hosted from pb.

 

[RichRSi]

Wow cat171 I thought they only did them in red, silver and purple. Own up, have you spent a fortune getting it sprayed!!

I'll have a suprise turning up in the post this week hopefully.
