Hey =)

Just sold my car today and should be getting hold of a Clio 1.4 Sport on Monday, W Reg on 66k. 1 years MOT and a few months tax for a total of £1100.

Just wondered if this is a decent price?

Oh and hello to you all. Anybody got a few cheap and easy modifications that I could do?

Hiya!

Bolsover here Oooh that sounded a bit eurovision.

Chesterfielder to another...get your tenner membership paid, you'll pretty much find everything you need to know in the forums, and a lot of clio guides are available.

Plus you get a shiny keyring

Welcome to CS! <3 the Chesvegas!

 

[Ben]

Ahh Bolsover, I'm from Clowne lol.

Yeah I'll probably get myself a member once I get the car, hopefully I'll get it on Monday. BTW any local meets that go off?

People can list them forever on this forum, its best you just become a member and then learn as you go along with the infinit amounts of advise from the CS mafia to the CS techs

Oh dear

I'll wave next time I go to Tesco.

TBH the meets we have tend to be around Matlock, but there are plenty of Leeds/Notts ones and National ones too.

Get membership sorted then you can check the Local Meetings section, can always try and arrange one yourself

 

[Ben]

So am I doing wrong buying into the Clio scene?

Ahem....I suppose I usually make it in and out unscathed

 

[john182rs]

[Ben]

Haha Bolsover is much worse than Clowne

Mind you Clowne is a right shithole these days.

Cheers for the advice anyway people, I'll update with some pictures of the car on Monday. And I'll get my membership paid up.

Hello Mate, welcome to CS
My brother bought an X reg 1.4 sport model this time last year for £1400 so i recon you got the price about right, his has been really good so far, no probs at all, the only mod he made to it was to put a janspeed backbox on it, so now it runs good, looks good and sounds good too....except on long motorway runs where it does your head in a bit.

 

[Ben]

Cheers matey, not sure if I'm gonna seriously modify this car as I had troubles with my last car 'cos I tinkered with it.

 

[Laura182]

Thanks people. Seems a very friendly forum upto yet tbh! Just waiting on getting a car tomorrow, if I do I'll get my £10 paid up to get Club Membership.

 

[Ben]

Got my car today, heres a few pictures.

 

[Jason_E]

Nice lookin' motor there mate and welcome! (from one newbie to another)

Edit: Yeh they are nice here, they dont bite unless you want them to.

*waits for offers*

 

[Ste666]

Nice pics mate, i have driven my brothers around before now and i think they're pretty good, nice compromise to get 1.4 sport model too, bit different from all the 1.2's that people usually get.
Hope you enjoy it

 

[The Boosh!]

Alright mate - welcome to CS.

I have added you to my mailing list and will be in touch RE meets when there is one

 

[Ben]

Thanks guys Yeah I'm really happy with it, I had a Saxo before this and this is so much nicer to drive. I do miss the Saxo though, heres a few pictures if anyone is interested lol

And thanks Boosh it'd be awesome to get involved in the meets, thanks.
