My new Monaco 172

[Cookson]

So, after viewing a total of 8 clio's, I think I finally came up trumps.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you.......... Nicole :rasp:

56k, cleans as a whilstle. 3 prev owners. Service history present. MOT to December and has tax present too.

Owner has had the cambelt done by a renault master-tech as a back-hander, but given there is no receipt, I am minded to go get it done at NWPerformance, along with a service, just to be on the safe side. He has given me the box fromt he kit to prove it, but that could have come from anywhere I suppose.

Will probably need new tyres at some point in the next few months, but as it stands, I am quite chuffed.

 

[Tigger]

Oh I do love that colour :approve: you made the right choice!
Best of luck with it!

 

[Knight_Rider]

Nice mate! Cant beleive you found a 51 plate with so little mileage! I thought i did well finding my 04 Monaco with 44k on it lol! Looks in perfect nick too..... mines covered in stone chips :-(

 

[Tigger]

Knowsit Tim!
I have mine 2 & a half years now and the front bumper is like the Milky Way - getting that sorted soon though.

Now on 42k - and she's a late 03 :star:

 

[Knight_Rider]

God, i must do FAR too much mileage :-( iv put nearly 10k on it since Feb!!!

 

[m4rkie23]

Good luck keeping it clean =D.
Looks a minter for the age!

 

[Tigger]

Think you meant F4R Tim?
So it's good miles!

Me neither

Been a pig of a few weeks trying to source a good one. Hardly any marks on it at all really, and was nicely polished when I went to go view it, unlike some of the wrecks I been to view.

Shed.

Loving the stickers in the rear quarters. Mint, you should keep them as well as naming your car like some little girl. Actually you named your Valver that too you nonce.

Headlight washers broke on N/S.

LOL. I know, them stickers are uber-fail. They are on the back window too, lolol. Hairdryer being cracked out later!!

You love the name. Go on. Admit it.

As for the washer, yep, tis missing. Need to get a new one.


It meets your approval over that red heap though?

 

[bigup7]

Lovely mate how much it cost if you dont mind me asking?

Any plans for it?

 

[GM_182]

Looks lovely

 

[Sym0n]

Yeah mate, looks lovely TBH. Just lose those stickers and you're on to a winner.

Be prepared for the usual list:

Silvervisions
Splitter
Turinis
Needs lowering
etc

I'll add it on to my list of cars that need some special loving.

 

[Cookson]

Bigup, I paid £2,650.00 for it

Splitter already ordered
Checking motorworld for silvers later
maybe some eibacks and bushes at a later stage

Also, unsure on whether to refurb in silver or anthracite, or black when i put new rubber on.

 

[Brookie.]

£2,650.00!!!

Great price!

 

[bigup7]

GReat price mate.

Shame the cambelts don't have date stamped in them. Be easy to identify when fitted rather then word of mouth and a receipt that can get lost.

 

[Knight_Rider]

Bloody hell thats a bargain! Mine was £4595!!!

 

[Knight_Rider]

But suppooose it is an 04 plate mine :-/ Still tho!

 

[Cookson]

Spoke to the guy that did them at lunch. All confirmed.

WINNER

 

[Tigger]

Nice one

 

[Cookson]

Couple of additions lastnight:-

Skoda splitter, £11.97

And F1 stickers from N2Graffix

Gotta be worth 20bhp right?

 

[bigup7]

can i ask you what screws you used for the splitter? still not sure which ones to buy to my skoda splitter on!

 

[m4rkie23]

M6/M8 self tappers will be fine mate

 

[Cookson]

Dunno, lol

Just a bag of self taps from B&Q that didnt look too big

 

[Knight_Rider]

Your bonnet looks immaculate compared to my stone chipped mess lol

 

[Sym0n]

Sticker - w**k
Splitter - good

 

[JoeyD]

Picked the best colour tbh!
Very nice!

 

[Cookson]

Sticker - w**k
Splitter - good

So you're saying I shouldnt put the other 2 stickers on my wings above the indicators?

[R-Sport.]
