Really nice motor, feels really old skool! Has got a few dings on it but nothing major. Having touched the clio since I bought it. Saxerperience here I come!

And one of the two together....

cracking colour imo, colour coded bumpers, slammed, black wheeels job done

never driven one myself but ment to be great fun

 

[Poopensharten]

Superb!

Get some facelift VTS wheels for it.

I loved mine man, go-kart handling and plenty of punch!

Heel-toe - away you go

Must have been pretty cheap on that mileage? Looks tidy, are they VTR wheels? Headlamp protectors too?

LOL at number of owners, my 172 is like that

 

[leeds_182]

Looking for VTS wheels at the moment.

I love the Phase 1 look though, reminds me of an old AX!

I think the early VTS's came with these wheels......but I could be wrong.

Yeah, headlamp protectors on there too.

Looove it !

I want one for a track toy

Lol @ the mileage comments.

It's done less than 12K p/year, hardly the fcuking moon and back. It's an 11 year old car that has done average (below average IMO) miles.

Looks smart.

Plans?

I wanted to turn it into a track **** but the wife has big issues with that!

Just want to to tidy it up at the moment and lower it for starters and then see where I go.

Yeah the early VTS models came with VTR wheels. It wasn't untill the MK2 shape that they brought them out with VTS wheels standard. Cracking car mate. I used to have a Saxo before this Clio and I loved it. Honestly, just get it lowered and leave it. Lowering makes SUCH a difference!

This was my old one if you don't mind me putting a picture up. Also a MK1

Looks mint that mate.

What was it lowered on? My knowledge of saxo's is minimal at best!

 

[Ben]

Just some 40mm springs on the front (Apex, £40). Saxo's have a rear torsion bar so I had that dropped to match the front (£80 or DIY).
Ahh my knowledge was pants before I signed upto Saxp. I learnt loads from there, and parts are easily available (performance and standard!)

 

[Darren S]

Good purchase.

Cheap, parts available everywhere for it and with good power and handling. Only ever driven a VTR before myself, but even that experience showed me its go-kart qualities.

D.

 

[jesus]

Interesting! Used to want a VTR loads when I was younger.

 

[Sarah]

nice choice. had a vtr when i was 18, blue one

decked it and sold it and got an mk2 xr2

had a 106 gti so would persume its very similar to that <3 that car

Im keeping my eye out for a minter over here, but if not might go accross just to have before i get back in rs

How much you pick it up for?

edit: early VTS came with the VTR wheels

 

[Fletcher]

Looks good.

I've yet to drive one of these.

 

[J03]

suprised you dont have any chav comments yet. probably because your a well known member and not a newbie.
i was after one at one point, much prefer the facelift tho, can pick one up for dead cheap now! insurance isnt bad either

 

[VeinAST]

ZOMG you found a standard one??? Not my cup of tea at all but the female likes it and it's a females car (imo ) so you must be in the good books!

 

[Englebert]

My old man has just bought a car in that same colour and its horrific... but like you hes got a bargain so its excusable!

So, are you saying you prefer to the Clio or is novelty factor?

 

[Gaz.]

Lose those tacky 16v badges Jim, even Halfords is ashamed of those

Citroen are the only cars those belong on. They've been around since the BX gti....
Looks a nice example jim, one of the better colours imo. You'll have to get her to one of the meets to make the numbers up a bit.

 

[K1NGY]

864 owners ! :S

 

[YorkshireDaz]

864 owners ! :S

LOL

Looks tidy mate

 

[leeds_182]

Its not as refined as the clio but it just feels so much more old skool.

Id love to strip it and track it but the mrs says no!

 

[K1NGY]

Should do it mate!
the misses will come round

 

[YorkshireDaz]

You will be getting plenty of producers in that...

BRRRAP!
