My clio :)

[Clio172Powell]

Hey everyone. I recently bought a clio sport so thought i would start a thread!
i have drove a 1.25 fiesta for past few years, so since my insurance is up soon i decided to look around for a quicker and cheap car as my insurance is not a silly price no more. So after looking around i narrowed it down to a Zetec S or a clio sport, and ended up with this..

To DO: for now...
Full Service
Rear break discs
Rear shock absorbers
2x front tyres
Lowering springs 30mm
induction kit

Very neat mate and welcome to ClioSport! How are you finding the big power difference?

If you're planning to stick around, get membership. It's only £12 for the year and the tutorials/cheap bargains and discounts is well worth it alone. If you're planning to pay someone to do that list for you, there's plenty of guides on how to do it yourself!

 

[Clio172Powell]

thank you its crazy haha! yea il stick around and update much as i can £12 bargain. And my father or his mate will be doing it for me so either free or not much ££ haha

 

[Typhoon]

Learn to do it mate, much more fun. It's French afterall so it's best you learn haha.
