The PH1 172 Appreciation Thread.

This is Number 002 of the 172 exclusives in Scarab green i bought a few months ago for £800, tomorrow im getting gold Williams wheels on her so will update with those when i get them on!

 

[Snails]

That steering wheel looks in better condition that most! What is scarab like in the sun?



Seeing as it has been so nice the last few days:

It changes colour completely when it is out of the sun



I still believe it is a super colour! I'm still missing a front fog. I'll get some more when fog light has been fixed and I've restored both headlights.

 

[Jay Payne]

A nice one of ours from brands recently...........

Looks awesome! mine is a wreck! But it wont be around long. The reg on that is very similar to my sunflower too, Mines X367 AAY!

P.S I have spare fogs too if your after one PM me

 

[Poopensharten]

The steering wheel is perfect mate..! Unusual given its weathered 117k!

I think its a great colour in the sun!

 

[Silent_Scone]

Fair play, but if it's done that mileage that wheel has 100% been re-trimmed!

 

[Djw John]

Exclusives come with leather wheels as standard dont they? Like RSi's?

OMG i sold my odyssey! because some sod vandalised it! miss it soo much, was BEAUTIFUL after a good clean, polish, and fresh clean alloys! and i agree that the colour changes completely in the sun and shade, iv looked at mine before, and its looke purple!

OhHarrow....

 

[Mr R.]

Thought id add to this, My Ph1 that ive owned for 2 years.

It had only done 39k when i bought it and its now only done 45k and im the 3rd owner from new.

Ive done the belts and had the wheels re furbished by Spit and Polish oh and also had the wheel bolts plated along with other bits.

It sits under my car cover most of the timedoing nothing as i use my van daily and my wife has a car, bought the clio as a toy but now im building a MK2 Fiesta as a fast road/trackday toy.

Should sell the Clio tbh.

This ones at Snett, dirty car....

What's you guys thoughts about 5-door PH1?

It's the only version we have in Brazil and I'm planning to have one as race car. We have 1.6L engines but easily can be swapped to 2.0L F4R engines.

What kills me is the 5-doors thing...

 

[DaveDreads]

5 door F4Rs make the baby Jesus cry.

Seriously though mate if a 5 door Clio is all you've got in Brazil, then you don't really have much choice,
it'll be a sleeper that's for sure and it'll take people by surprise when you disappear on them. lol

If you only have 1.6 5 doors, where are you getting an F4R engine from?

 

[Ste172]

Just seen this thread Owned this for a few weeks now, great little car

 

[Epicurus]

[Silent_Scone]

[JerseyClio172]

[Jay Payne]

Greedy boy

 

[Djw John]

Lol! Just 58 more to buy

 

[Djw John]

Oh and thanks, me and Dave are loving having the same cars again!

 

[DannyR]

If you do ever come across a flamer with engine damage could you let me know please very interested

 

[Djw John]

Yeah I'll keep an eye out for you Danny, there's one getting broken on here just now, you spotted it?

 

[DannyR]

Thank you

I have yes but he doesn't want to sell it just yet. I basically want everything on it except suspension, brakes, wheels, interior and engine which are the main bits people strip.

Was going to spray mine imola red but flame red is so close to it I could get a mint bodied one and put all my stuff in

 

[Djw John]

Ah right, yeah, damn good plan that!

 

[Stu.]
