My Clio 172

[sneeks]

Finally got around to washing, polishing and supagarding my new 172 yesterday. Here are three of the pics I shot.

Thanks all I'm definately buying the clear side repeaters, it was the one thing I decided on yesterday after getting the car polished.

Where am I best to buy them from?

 

[Jonaldinho]

Nice car mate and you'll pick up a set of clear side repeaters from Halfrauds for a tenner if you don't want the official clear Renault ones which are £20+ iirc.

nice dude, what tires are those u got on?

try and get them off eBay, dealers want around £22 for a set, I got a set (genuine renault ones) for £5.79 delivered, I think I was very lucky though as they tend to go for more.

nice dude, what tires are those u got on?

look like Yokohamas to me.

 

[sneeks]

look like Yokohamas to me.

Correct The dealer had fitted those on all 4 wheels before selling the car to me. Not the best but they do the job.

 

[Dansta]

4x4?

 

[ollie_yesclio]

nice love that colour!

bet that numberplate cost a fair bit?!

 

[sneeks]

The numberplate is 100% Photoshop edited.

I'm loving the colour more and more. First blue car I've owned.

A539's!:dead: :dead:

Car looks lovely though mate.:approve:

 

[sneeks]

Those must be the cheapest tyres available at that size which will be why the dealer fitted them.

 

[Big Iain]

looks familiar where u from?

 

[sneeks]

I work in Glasgow and live in Cumbernauld.

 

[sneeks]

I went into Halfords and asked about ordering clear side repeaters. They quoted me £20 so I'm probably better buying them directly from Renault.

 

[Annie]

Stunning car, what polish did you use?

 

[JR]

do you mind me asking how much you paid ? millege etc ? frsh ?

Justin.

 

[kully]

nice 1 m8

 

[sneeks]

Hi Annie I used Zymol cleaner wax on the car and followed it up with a coating of Supagard.

 

[sneeks]

Justin, I paid £6300 for the car from a main dealer. It's an 02 plate and has done 33,000 miles with fsh. Renault have told me the car is an import but the DVLA disagree. I'm delighted with the car and think I got a great deal.

 

[GarethM]

very nice dude it looks really high in that 2nd pic

 

[Fletcher]

Looks mint, good price too.

Fletch.

 

[R20 CWH]

Monaco blue pretty rare as well - nice.

You out condorrat way or closer to the toon centre? Im out that neck of the woods as have a few sites out that way

 

[sneeks]

The car is at standard height, for some reason the pics seem to make it look higher than it actually is

 

[Fletcher]

Sneeks are any of your wheels curbed?

 

[sneeks]

Fletch a couple of them have slight curb marks but nothing major. I may get them fixed up at some point if I don't replace them. Why do you ask?

Another pic of the car from the passenger side

 

[Fletcher]

I ask because they are so bloody easy to curb and yours look very tidy.

It's nice to see a monaco blue one mate, all i ever see are iceburg silver ones and red ones.

Fletcher.

 

[Tom_E]

clean mate, nice!

 

[sneeks]

the previous owner proved how easy they are to curb. The blue really has grown on me over the past 3 weeks and when I looked at it all shined up yesterday I loved it. It looked wonderful tonight parked up in the sunset, the reflections from it were excellent, shame I couldn't capture the moment in a photo

[JR]

[Rich]

Looks a lovely example, great colour. They should have carried that and flame red through to the 182's.
