Show us your Williams'

[James Mk1]

I am the very proud owner of a Clio Williams 3. Are there any other Williams owners in here? If so show some pics so we can all appreciate the best Clio ever made!

Here are some pics of mine.

Yeah I love the mk1s, just think the shape of them is so right! Thanks for comments

 

[Richyy182]

Cracking example

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Why blank out the number plate?

Stunning example though!

 

[Fletcher]

Looks tidy. Shame about the pics.

Don't know really, just seen others do it so thought there may be a reason to! And thanks!

Cheers, what do you mean? The pics aren't the best they'd be better on a sunny day I spose!

 

[andywa]

Spot on! Love these.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

I take it the exhaust isn't standard? I've never actually noticed what they're supposed to have?

Nah it ins't, it's a Magnex system, the standard one is 2" inwardly rolled tailpipe iirc.

 

[jjames]

people blank out the number plate to stop people going on line putting in a car getting a pic of it then pinching the reg {doing a ringer} etc...

 

[UKBraderz]

Lovely example!

Maybe on mass produced Vauxhall Astra's, on twenty year old Clio's i'd maybe say not so much.

 

[James Mk1]

Thanks for all the responses/kind words! Is there no-one else in here with a Williams/valver?! :rasp:

not at all is harder to find a reg of a classic than a mass produced car

 

[Minichapperz]

Yes I have a williams 1 but I havnt seen it for two years as its in storage and in a restoration kind of state lol and I cant remember the number ethier!

 

[adi-kty-172]

my mate on here has a willams 3

 

[Chip-mk1]

Few of us with valvers too, or do you want it Williams only in this thread?

 

[James Mk1]

No, please post your Valvers too! This should be the Mk1 appreciation thread of CS!

 

[Hixle]

Williams looks lovely James!

Few snaps of my old valver that Daniel restored. I'd have love to have kept it for sunny days :dapprove:

 

[James Mk1]

Love that Luke, almost had that off you when you had it for sale, as you know.. Decided to hold out and wait to be able to drive my Williams.. loving this car sooooo much! These cars are real hidden gems, they aren't appreciated enough!

 

[Chip-mk1]

My valver with 172 widetrack and brakes on coilovers with a temporary cammed Williams engine and custom inlet with ph2 172 box and quaiffe diff.
Going Honda power later on though.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

My Williams no 227.

It's an ongoing project just now I've been concentrating on the mechanical side of things replacing a shed load of bits on it with new genuine items. Hoping to get it in for a respray this year.

 

[James Mk1]

What do you mainly use your mk1 for chip? Trackdays? Btw what power is the williams lump running/have you got power graphs?

 

[Djw John]

Love a mk1. If a caged mk1 had come up for sale nearby I think we would've bought that over a caged 182!

 

[James Mk1]

Nice example Stevo. Out of interest what do you prefer driving, your 225 or the Williams?

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Yeah it doesn't look anywhere near as good in the flesh unfortunately lol. I would have to say I prefer driving the Williams tbh. It feels so raw and unrefined compared to the 225 and a lot more fun to drive down a good B road.

Trackdays only mate, although in the middle of a load of work that should be done by now but been too busy with my 172 ph1 turbo instead.
Around 180bhp I should think, not had it on rollers since the reshell though and need to finish mapping it etc when its finished being built.

[James Mk1]

Very nice williams' Jamie, is that dimma clio yours? Cant make my mind up on those whether I like them or not haha!

 

[Jamie]

Williams l137tbp is mine, the Williams 3 j20wms was mine and the trophy t67phy is mine.

The dimma is Allan's I think.

 

[Stefan.]

The seats in the williams are the best i have ever sat in, comfort wise!

 

[James Mk1]

Agreed! They're like armchairs!! How comfortable are 182 seats?

For me personally, don't think they are that bad. pretty comfortable imo
