Post You're BEfore and After Pics



  R5GTTx2,R11,Clio DCI
i'm not being b**ch or trying to start a fight... but everyone with replicas...

dont you get frustrated that the performance doesn't match peoples expectations? surely if say a saxo saw ya, thought you were a 172 and wiped the floor then the next day saxo sports club would be all laughing in their posts.

also, i know insurance costs are high, but to take, say a 1.2 to 172 spec, even without the engine its surely about the same as buying a said car.

once again, not being bitchy at all.. just wandering das ist all

much love x

running cost, fuel bills and insurance is the killer for me mate.

i went for my car for looks, not go. sadly, i would never buy a clio again. i hate my car except when i clean it and photo it. it creaks, it rattles, it moans. so 2.0l is probs gonna do the same.

was only designed to be a first car, then get rid once im happy to do so and get summat german lol

Probably because we are all sheep and can't think of any fresh ideas :p

Tbf, a few of my favourites aren't really replicas, they just use some standard renault bits. f0xy's, dutty's and matta_88's to name but 3.

Ended like this:
