Hi I'm Ken (nick name real names mat, long story) I used to be a full member on here when I had my first car which was a turd of a 1.2 clio but I loved it. since then I have had a few cars they Are An old Mini Cooper, a BMW 316 coupe, a golf mk3 gti, a golf mk4 1.6, an Alfa 147, a Toyota mr2 mk1, and a seat leon cupra...

I have recently just purchased an immaculate racing blue 182 with full service history and completely standard apart from the white wheels. With 81k on the clocks. I have big plans for it, just thought I would say hi, I'm from macclesfield don't no if anyone else is from here or near by,

welcome back mate. I like the white wheels on the racing blue. With the white stripes it sets it off nicely too.
So, what plans do you have?

 

[fitkin]

Going for the less is more approach white stripes off black wheels debadged, just ordered a 3/4 plate coilover, induction kit new steering wheel, and then tidy up and paint the engine bay, then when all that's done save for updated caliper a and discs and pads then probably sell it lol

 

[LeeRS]

lol why do all that to sell it?

 

[fitkin]

Dunno always seem to of got my cars how I like them then get bored of them and upgrade them think that's why I've had so many. I don't normally get attached to cars but u never know I do like my clio lol

 

[LeeRS]

ive had a few to.
106gti, corsa (redtop) x 2, vw bora, Ibiza cupra, transit connect and now my Clio 172

 

[fitkin]

How was the Ibiza I've always had a soft spot for them n was very close to getting one but my 182 was too cheap to turn down

 

[LeeRS]

I had the mk3. Was nice to drive and handle but it was riddled with little annoying problems electrically. Also replaced the clutch about 5 times. Had to have the pedal box welded as my foot went through it.
great looking car though

Welcome. Love the racing blue. Good choice, can you remove the stripes easily, I prefer without but that's my preference.

Welcome back. Can't decide if I remember you or not!
