My Flame Red Ph2 172

[thepike1984]

Hey folks. Thought it was time I shared some pics of my new car. Iv had 4 clios but this is my first sport and im loving it. I bought it for £1700 at the start of December. It had 69k miles on the clock and completely standard apart from a Stainless backbox. Iv had no problems with it what so ever and it drives so smooth. Im happy as Larry

£1700 seems a bit of a bargain mate. Looks tidy!

I personally think its the nicest colour they come in Kieran. Im also not a fan of the exhaust clio rs 172. Will be replacing it soon.

My budget was 2k so I feel I have done well. Especially in that colour. Only downsides are a small tear in the drivers seat but its barely noticeable and 2 small dents on the drivers door where some donut has opened their door on it. Hasnt broken the paint though so easily popped back out. The washerjets leak at the headlights and the speedo very occasionally doesnt work. Think its a loose connection. Tbh the only thing that lets it down is the dents on the door which I plan on getting fixed next month. Im very pleased with my purchase.

doesnt sound to bad, and easy fixs! this site will tell you everything you need to know

mine had no electric windows (wood holding the windows up) bald tyres, leaking coolant hoses and radiator, dents, scratches, various lights didnt work etc.

But i found fixing the car made me grow madly attached to it and i couldnt sell it as i planned too :/

Im not keen on the exhaust either. Will a 182 exhaust go on no bother?

No because of the spare wheel insert. Ktec do a replica for a 172, but personally I'd go for a stealth system and keep it looking neat. I loved my flamer, it was absolutely mint!

Cheers dude. Not sure. I like the look of the 182 back end. Think it would be nice in the red
