New Car (at last)

[Adam.P]

Hi

Well 5 months down the line, after this http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=442695 .

I picked my new car up last week, and after having a day off today, gave it a bath and took some photos. Absolutely loving having a clio again, and strangely prefer it to the Alfa Romeo I had as a courtesy car. It is so much more fun to drive. It is in such good condition, a couple of stone chips and that's it!

Compared to my old Clio it seems so much better as well, power seems more evenly spread (probably to do with the remap) but still has a kick at 5K. Had a play with my mate in his Cup the other night, and he used to be able to pull away easily from my old one, but this one pulls away from him! But taking it easy, only put my foot down about twice as I have no confidence after my crash.

Anywho, spec is:
52K on the clock.
Lowered 40mm on APEX Springs.
Matched inlets.
Espace V6 airbox with ITG filter.
RS tuner remap.
KTEC stealth exhaust.

I am not 100% but I think its Iceburg silver and not Titanium silver, but TBH I don't know, hopefully someone can confirm with me. Anyway pics below:

Did she admit fault in the end then?

No her insurance company did on her behalf as she couldn't provide evidence to back her claims, where as I had bucket loads!

 

[Adam.P]

nice!

Its only that low on the last few pics because of where i've parked it, I drive country roads everyday and have had no problems yet

 

[Matthew]

Very nice mate, love this colour on the MK2...

 

[smitchell1]

Iceberg baby, its the way forward!!!

 

[Adam.P]

Thanks for confirming the colour with me

 

[Beef-Mc]

[Curtis!]

Lovely!

But one thing that's always niggled me with 172's is the spacing on the rear wheel?

 

[jenic]

Car looks mint, and glad the insurance companies did the right thing for you.

It's just how its parked, not that low normally, think it looks too low myself, but wanted more photos, and I was cold in the snow, so they had to do :approve:

They are nice, the only problem I have with them is that they are 195's, and I always had 205's on my last 172, they just felt somewhat "grippier" in the wet.

They are more or less spanking new, so might sell them soon and get some new ones as I don't feel to confident with them.

 

[Jamie]

Nice.

 

[Ash87]

very nice

 

[steve 172]
