Clio 172 Exclusive
After passing my manual driving test back in May this year, I was on the lookout for a Clio 172. Wasn't sure whether to go for a standard 172, or the Exclusive. But a month later after viewing an Exclusive I went from this:
To this: :approve:
These cars, for some reason, aren't very photogenic. They look a lot better in the flesh than they do in pictures. I've noticed this with the Cups as well.
Anway, bought it with 48,000 miles on the clock, '01 Y reg. Needs one or two cosmetic jobs doing, but overall I'm pleased with the way it's cleaned up! In the pictures below, I'd only got round to washing, claying, polishing and waxing the roof, bonnet, and both sides of the car. The bumpers still haven't been washed, but I'm going to try and get them done this weekend!
So far the mods include, Viper Induction kit (already on when purchased), K-tec Stealth exhaust, supersport version. Bosch Aerotwin wipers, Alpine CDA-9880R headunit, with Alpine SXE-1325 coaxial speakers all round. Still to go in are some silvervisions, and Philips Blue Vision 4000k Xenon/HID effect lightbulbs, as the standard ones are rubbish! I've also got a Cup spoiler waiting to be painted and fitted too, so should look good with that on
Still undecided on the Supersport exhaust though, as it is deafening at certain speeds! Hadn't realised it'd be so loud! I love the leather interior, and the seats are very comfy too!
Forgot to say, that I'm loving the extra power over my old 1.2, but found you really have to rev it to get the best out of it. So it's nice when there's a bit of room on the road to open it up :evil:
Comments welcome
