Phase 1's needed that cup spoiler. I think a ph1 with cup spoiler and ph2 rear bumper is near perfection, not exactly purist but hey! Oh and ph2 interior

Agree with the cup spoiler and maybe the rear bumper. I actually prefer the ph1 interior now, feels like you're driving something old and cool

Heres mine a few years back

Unfortunately a very low mileage track car now

 

[Coops Mk1]

120k and off the road for 4 years, hopefully not dead

Yes I just looked it up, its owned by a bloke with a fair collection of old hot hatches. Hes stripped it as a track day car which is such a shame, it was immaculate

 

[Coops Mk1]

ah think i read it as 864 not 5 due to the snow ,lol

 

[DomP182]

When I bought it I was blissfully unaware they only made 99 icebergs

 

[Coops Mk1]

I murdered my iceberg, I'd of done it again too, that thing was a heap, lol

Popped to see Danny at wraggasport this evening for some odyssey action

Danny's a nice bloke, bought an exhaust from him

 

[Coops Mk1]

Few more just for good measure, can you tell I've missed this heap

 

[Stefan.]

Awesome colour!!

Yeah I agree about the interior. I used to think the phase1 was vile, but I'm the same and prefer it now

I met him the other week. Decent guy as you say 👍
His phase 1 is lovely

 

[Adamm.]

I love that! Always miss my iceberg ph1. I'd love one again tbh.

I didn't mind the ph1 interior either for the same reason. Felt more old school.

 

[imprezaworks]

Tidy

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Right that's it, I'm sold. Need one in my life.

You’ve managed to get the perfect ride height..

cheers chap, Bilstein B14's are great for this as you just set the rear without the adjuster part of the platform in there and then match the front and its pretty much bang on everytime. although i think the front needs to come down another 5-10mm to be perfect

Now you mentioned it, yeah the front could come down a bit to match the rear..

What’s it ride like?

decent, the billies are very good all rounders and even on the woeful roads on the hills around Derbyshire she copes pretty well. its a little bouncy compared to the daily 182 on H&R springs/cup dampers but its lower so to be expected.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

The end of an era ! ....and a new one starts. Sad to see the Clio go after all these years but off to a good home !

Perfect car combo.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Couple from me.

Newly acquired flamer.




Sunny going into her tent for the winter.



Exclusive came out for a breather.



30k iceburg which has not been on road since 2005.


62k titanium not been on the road since 2010.



Really nice titanium I purchased same time as flamer.

You er, you ever thought about seeking help? x
