New Clio. From RB to PB

[Ricardos]

Did a 240 mile round trip yesterday to buy this Clio 182 off a chap called Alex. To be honest i wasn't in the frame to spend all the money i had from the RB on another Clio BUT after viewing a couple of not so great Clios and potentially going into derv ownership i ended up going for this. I couldn't resist when i saw it come up for sale, i made a phone call last Monday and between texts i arranged a viewing yesterday once it was ready. It literally has everything done, i like the fact it retains it's OE looks but mechanically has been upgraded in the braking and suspension areas.

Blatantly using the pics of the classifieds ad as i don't have a decent camera to hand. I've already been to Renault and picked up a new rear number plate light, wipers, sundries basically as everything else has been done. Will also need to speak to West Renault about sorting some RS mats out to finish the interior. Would just like to say a big thank you to Alex with the help in getting it ready for the sale.

I also saw the add for this A 'different' colour but not nasty buy any means. However I hate to say it but I do prefer RB over it, but then again I prefer RB over any RS colour tbh.

Hope you enjoy it mate!

​Let me know how you get on with it! I just bought my next car just now too!

I drive past a petrol blue every morning on the way to work, stunning colour in my opinion.

From the add this seems like a well looked after car so enjoy it!

My ad is still in the for sale section. A whole list of things.

What I spent on it in parts and labour I could have bought another one.

Looks great, although nowhere near as good as your RB :dapprove:

Saw it for the first time yesterday. I am really surprised with how many colours are in the flip.
​A great car rich
