My new toy (1.2 TCE)

[danzel]

So after owning the old blue 1.2 for about a year:

I decided I fanced something different. Apart from that, the old one came with a string of things going wrong; cracked windscreen, slow-punctured tyres, tyres with not a lot of tread, dents, scratches, leaking sunroof, the list went on. But I loved it, because it was my first car, and it was mine.

But now I've got a new pride and joy, picked her up last night - She's a 2010 '59 plate Clio 1.2 TCE Dynamique - TCE = "Turbo Controlled Efficiency", yes, it has a turbo!

I hope to get some better pictures when the weather perks up and I can give her a good wash.
She's rapid!

Current "mods" include silvervisions from my old 1.2 and removal of the Arnold Clark sticker...

Cheers! i was actually thinking the same, about 30mm drop (arch gap or what) and strangeley enough, a light tint and it would look fairly decent.

Lovely car mate
I did the same as you back in November, 1.2 16v mk2 to the TCE. Its a nice wee difference eh?

 

[Christopher]

LOL @ rapid.

Nice upgrade though, not a bad little car.

They feel much quicker than you'd expect, all the torque is just where you want it in the rev range.

 

[mat-nos]

tidy motor, needs down and out though ;-)
