Passed ths the other day..

Big Iain · Oct 4, 2006

seen one at the dealers the other day, must be getting rid of there euro parts cupboard now

Alan · Oct 4, 2006

Hideous!!

Scott · Oct 4, 2006

Was a thread on them a few weeks back, think the front has a different bumper and grill too iirc

AliasOmega · Oct 4, 2006

Could fit that bumper to me 182 with a few mods..

Then have 2 plates.

speedynz · Oct 5, 2006

Dont they cost a thousand quid brand new though?

Jeremy Townsend · Oct 5, 2006

That's the 2007 version. New front and rear bumper plus new tailgate

Ian_182 · Oct 5, 2006

Yuk...

ian

_Kenny_ · Oct 5, 2006

oh dear

Munson · Oct 5, 2006

I'm surprised they bothered retooling new dies for the tailgate.

al · Oct 5, 2006

It's just wrong.

Andi-B · Oct 5, 2006

Wouldn't it have been easier concentrating on getting the new clio shape right instead of trying to "tweak" the old? One of their designers must been bored and decided to play with CAD while doing chemicals.

Whats with the Renault badge/Clio badge the wrong way round too?

Wrong.. All wrong :nono:

Englebert · Oct 5, 2006

Yeah, boot is weird, front is ok-ish.

Munson · Oct 5, 2006

Looks like the geez that stuck that Campus badge on, did so after a couple of pints of wife beater at lunchtime.

alexbleubolt · Oct 5, 2006

i kinda like it, its keeping the old clio shape alive, means plenty of spare parts and easy smoothed boot if you want it

Jeremy Townsend · Oct 5, 2006

The Campus stays in production until end of 2008 at the earliest

MattT · Oct 5, 2006

Only good thing I can see really is there's nothing to colour code!

f0xy · Oct 5, 2006

dosent look too nice, looks like a rushed job

DebV6 · Oct 5, 2006

Looks a bit weird!

handsyboy · Oct 5, 2006

looks like its smiling at you... weird

JJsRT · Oct 5, 2006

actually don't mind it... different anyways!

Gavin_x2c · Oct 5, 2006

i think it looks good

Ad · Oct 5, 2006

reminds me of what the MG did to the ZR...

Alex_225 · Oct 5, 2006

Surely if they are still producing the 'old' shapes Clio that means a hands up from Renault that they might not have made such a bright move with the new one???

Either way that looks weird to me, the back of the MK3 Clio was actually pretty sweet as it was. The only good thing about it would be if you bought one like that, then put a standard 172/182 bumper on the back and you've got a pretty smooth rear end!!!

Rststevo · Oct 5, 2006

and nowhere to put ur plate! don't half mind the boot, not keen on the bumper

No ! The Campus is continuing in production from the factory in Slovenia. Clio 3 is built in France and Spain. The Campus is cheaper to build, and therefore sell, than the Clio 3 and has a place in the market under Clio 3.

It's the same as Peugeot are doing with the 207 as the 206 is continuing to be built in a separate factory.

tommyboy · Oct 5, 2006

Saw one a little while back and it's f**king distgusting if Im being nice. Not a pwetty site Im afraid.

Fletcher · Oct 5, 2006

I saw a transporter going along the M3 yesterday, with 5 of them on it.

Just seems like a bit of a daft excercise. Either release a new version of a car of keep the old one, thats my opinion though. Or call the new car by a different name!!

I see where they are coming from with the whole price bracket thing of the new and old Clio but why not continue to produce a Clio and then make the new 'Clio' a different car! I mean lets face it, the new one is bigger and more expensive.

cast your mind back and they did the same with the Renault 5, continued building it as a Campus special edition up until about 1996 iirc, whilst the Mk1 Clio was launched in 1990/1

Justin · Oct 5, 2006

awful

Nightfire · Oct 5, 2006

Saw this at RWS. Almost as ugly as the new model

miltage2 · Oct 5, 2006
