Returning member new clio 182

[j976rna]

just thought if post a pic up of the clio 182 i just bought, you all will probably recognise it, it's done loads of miles,but had a replacement engine and only 1 previous owner, i basically sold my 320bhp cupra r,to raise some cash for a house deposit, i was looking at what hot hatch to replace it, and i didnt want a turbo,complete money pits, then i remembered how i liked my old phase1 clio 172, so thought id get a 182,lol

my old phase 1

the cupra r i just come feom

Despite the mileage it still scrubs up well, hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Best choice of wheel on the ph1 ;-)

Looks great!

it does proper shine up nice, my cupra r was black,so i had a load of black detailing stuff,it's got the coilovers and aas exhaust, and the solid top mounts, ive fitted a pipercross panel filter,all I'm doing next is fitting a decat to it, as its a tad quiet for me, just waiting for the spring and gasket set, as i had a look and it looks like it'll snap just by me touching it,lol

Does look like a good example from the pictures at least buddy, did you put the ClioSport sticker in there or was it in there already?

Looks like a good example! Can't wait to get back in a 182 myself

Welcome back to the fold... I like many others had a 1*2, sold it, only to return a few years later. I had a 172 Cup about five years ago, sold it and went few various other hatches and alike before getting another Clio. Out of interest how high is the mileage that you talk about? My PH1 is about to hit 126K, but pulls well, doesn't use oil etc.

it's done 167000 miles, but the owner had it from new and was all motorway miles, had a replacement engine at 150k i believe,due to main dealer mucking up a belt change.
i can really notice the handling, although this is a lot slower than my cupra r,i can pretty much push this to the limit on the corners,wher the cupra r would just wheel spin and under steer due to the power
