Vanilla Clio's On This Forum

[nickl360]

Alright lads and lasses,

Who here owns a COMPLETELY standard Clio? By Standard I mean no aftermarket parts, whether cosmetic or performance, interior or exterior.

Basically a Clio completely as Renault intended?

I own a Flame Red Clio 172 mk2 ph2 and it's completely standard, even with the standard headunit which I think is quite rare.

I propose an owners club for "Vanilla Clio's"

[DebV6]

I was going to say mine is standard at the moment (until sunday!) but I've put new mats in and my cliosport tax disc holder, so I guess it's not if we're being really fussy!

[Lee]

The silvervisions let me down then.

 

[Chili Red]

Yep, my 182 is completely as it left the factory, haven't even changed the mats. Never did get around to putting silvervisions in!

[daydotz]

[Paul M]

Totally standard 182 ...... until tomorrow when I have new Alpine H/U fitted! No plans for any other mods.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Too many to list

 

[trailerparktrev]

My R27 is completely, totally and 100% standard. Oh s**t no it isn't.. Alpine headunit. But thinking about it my other Clio is.
Now that is definitely standard, truly is a 100 percent original 1992 1.4 RT.

Has anyone actually seen a benefit in replacing the stereo? You lose the in dash display, CD changer and stalk controls (on most stereo's) when you have an aftermarket CD player.

You don't lose any of that if you use the right leads

The standard stereo is rubbish so yes benefits just by changing it.
Don't need to be faffing about with CD changer - new H/U has i-Pod interface.
Dash display is no great loss either - everything wanted will be displayed on H/U
