The higher the number the slower the car . I think that's how it works anyway

What type of clio are you looking at getting?

When I got mine and joined here I was rather confused as their is a ClioSport which is the 2.0 then you have your normal/typical clio's like your 1.2's,1.4's & 1.6's.

 

[Bentley__GirlT]

I'll be looking at 1.4 due to insurance etc..spend about £3.5k??

 

[Timmay]

should get a nice one for 3.5k - welcome to CS btw

You should get a good un for that.

Mine is a 1.2 Mk2 Phase 1 and its a sport (not to be confused with the Cliosports though)

Heres a pic, cost me £2700

 

[Bentley__GirlT]

its just what kind. theres all these Dynamique
Billabong
Sport
etc etc

 

[Ruffneck]

Welcome.

Go for a 1.4 16V Dynamique model - they have the better spec

 

[Timmay]

dynamiques the best to go for - has all the creature comforts

 

[Bentley__GirlT]

is it fast on its feet?..as far as these little cars go =D

 

[Tyssen]

Sports are best but I am biased- not sure whether you get them on a 1.4 though

 

[Ruffneck]

Here's my Dynamique

Yes - they are pretty nippy

 

[Bentley__GirlT]

its nice these available in MonacoBlue?

 

[Tyssen]

Would she get a Phase2 though for 3.5k

 

[Ruffneck]

Pretty sure they do Dynamiques in Blue...

For 3.5k, you should be able to pick up a 2001/2002

The 172, 182, 197 is the power output from the 2.0 sport models. The higher the number the more power the car has. More power though some will tell you does not equal a faster car! to put it into perspective, if you are looking at the 1.4 engines the power output will either be 75 or 98(16valve) Good luck searching

 

[Bentley__GirlT]

Could take some finding.. can you get cars re-sprayed in MBlue?cost?

 

[Gaz197]

It'd probably cost you a years insurance premuim on a monaco blue 172 clio

 

[Tyssen]

Cost for a respray your looking at the cost of a whole car £3k for a good un I think

 

[Bentley__GirlT]

It'd probably cost you a years insurance premuim on a monaco blue 172 clio

I'm lost. I just meant how much would it cost to get the car sprayed Monaco Blue?..

 

[Bentley__GirlT]

right okay, thanks =]

 

[Gaz197]

sorry.... i was trying to put it into comparison with something else.....i'd estimate £1500-£2000 for a good spray job.

 

[Tyssen]

Once you get a clio get yourself along to some meets, you find out alsorts off people....

 

[Bentley__GirlT]

I sure will, thanks for all your help!

Thats rather cheap, cheaper than what I paid for mind and mine is more mileage and a 2001 reg :S

hes saying that getting your 1.4 resprayed in the colour you want will cost you the same amount or more than paying for a years insurance on a proper monaco blue 172 sport,,, and i tend to agree to be honest.
