spotted this on piston heads

looks like an alright car at first glance then you notice the headlights are wrong, grill is wrong and the bumper respray.

i emailed him about it and he says it had a small frontal impact that he sorted without insurance.

i then asked him how much BHP the super chip gave him and he doesnt know all he knows that it and cams some how gave him over 200 bhp :S

i am going to ask for the rolling road print out but i reckon that this car could easily have been very nice if it wasnt for the headlight and grill.

 

[Scrooge]

More than likely been in a smack, does look smart though.

 

[JackJack]

Lol at having two different headlights.

 

[Jekyll]

The car has had all modifications AND MORE that the 172 Trophies has??

 

[Struggler]

is that even legal to have different headlights??

xenons one side, and not on the other??
and a non-sport grill!!

clearly had a bit of a front ender and been fixed on the cheap!

 

[sbridgey]

and now wants to get rid quickly

 

[Struggler]

i spy a cliosport sticker in the rear driver side window

perhaps it has some history on here!

 

[Stefan.]

looks w**k, high mileage and he wants just under £3 grand must be joking..

 

[Gav_r26]

and the passenger side headlight is on the piss ......

 

[Gally]

That's actually retarded! I'd rather put 2 standard lights on it!

 

[Steven103]

I loose interest when an advert calls it a "Clio Sport" and starts going on about it being faster than the "172 Trophies" (not even a "172 Trophy" FFS)

 

[sbridgey]

he hasnt replied to my rolling road print out email yet

 

[Wick]

Ah the lesser spotted "172 Trophy"

 

[Sir_Dave]

Looks like its been smacked, but is an ex-CS car. Good base for a track car imho.

 

[Narf]

how is everyone missing the bit that says "Just to note the car has had a small front end shunt, I had to replace the bonnet, one of the lights and also the bumper has been resprayed" ?? minda answers the question about he head lights and grill

 

[sbridgey]

thats new since i emailed him asking about it

 

[Struggler]

Thats just been added!!
what did you ask him?

 

[sbridgey]

i just said that it looked nice and i would like details about the crash,

he replied with "[FONT=&quot]The car has had slight front end damage, bonnet and grill needed to be replaced. This wasn't done through the insurance as it was a small job. I take it you noticed by the replacement grill"

so i sent " [/FONT][FONT=&quot]yep i also noticed the front bumper has had a respray, the offside headlight is incorrect and the front diamond is missing. also how much bhp does your superchip give you?"

reply "[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Im not sure how much the chip gave me, all i have is a BHP print off showing just over 200, also all the recipts from GDI performance of all of the work"

i sent "[/FONT]any chance of a copy of the rolling road print off?"

got no reply after that

 

[Struggler]

haha tool,

you'd have thought he would at least have waited till he repaired the car before listing it up for sale?!

 

[Sir_Dave]

lol, sounds like a right nail then!!

 

[mace¬]

lol at saying it had a front end respray due to stone chips then having a front end smash later on requiring a new bonnet and headlght and grill

 

[gti6steve]

Yeah sounds a right gem

 

[Bubbles]

Monaco Blue with Trophy wheels, Wilwoods and work done at GDi sounds like S77CCP's old car

This used to be a minter

 

[Sir_Dave]

Phoned up about this for a mate last night.

Also has no MOT/Tax, 3 bald tyres & obviously the crash damage to the front.

Said that he wont drop the price as he's just spent a fortune having loads of it resprayed.

 

[Stefan.]

for £3 grand why is your mate even interested?? when he knows its had an accident? surely there's better out there for similar money

 

[Gandi69]

I wouldnt touch that with yours. Who the hell puts one standard headlight on along with one HID?

 

[Gally]

That went pear shaped did it not! Oh and rofloleseses @ GDI rollers!

 

[VeinAST]

There are better Monacos out there !

CS-i case solved.

 

[sbridgey]

price drop to 2.5k
