Well I'm back... clio number 4

[Paul.M]

After owning my last non sport 1.6 I said I wouldn't buy another clio, and I've always said that I won't buy another black car... so here is the new motor.

I only have the dealer pics for now but will be venturing out with the camera later

The specs:

One owner (Who happens to share my surname)
88k
Both cup packs
Totally standard
Full renault history
Belts changed at renault

The car is immaculate apart from the thumb grips, and the front wheels need weighting again.

The only plans I have are to change the ying-yang tyres for some decent ones and keep it as tidy as I can.

I bought the car to have a bit of cheap fun in for a while after my E46 turned out to be a shed and needed more money spent on it.

Im glad to finally being able to tick a 182 off the list after having the 'itch' since owning my non sports.

Now time to become a paid up member again!

Thanks

Paul

I see the phase one is back on the road Naith ?

I've just been out and had a route round my garage and quickly popped these old school CS' musts on:

Civic type R ariel and Osram diadems, these have both been fitted to the majority of my cars over 6 years and are still going strong!

The car is now CS friendly

 

[Dan...]

That's lovely.

 

[Paul.M]

Thanks lads!

I wanted this

Sorry chap! I kept changing my mind about looking at 182's, I originally went out looking at cooper s' but in the end I thought stuff it it's half the price and very tidy so went and bought it.

Very nice Paul. Saw this on Instagram earlier and have been waiting for a thread to pop up.

I always said I'd never get another Clio until 1*2 insurance was viable. But I've ended up with another 1.2. I doubt my sanity sometimes.

Best of luck with the new purchase.

That looks ace

Thanks Rhys, that makes two of us with questionable sanitys then, its far too small for me, totally impractical...but for the time being its awesome

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Looks superb that :approve:

 

[Stefan.]

Look bloody awesome!

BG is such a good colour!

 

[Rob]

That looks cracken!

 

[Paul.M]

Thanks chaps I'm looking forward to getting involved again

just got to keep the car as tidy as it presently is now, I took it out fora decent drive last night, I have seen people mention the 5k kick on here many a time but I wasn't expecting to be as strong as it is, what a car.

 

[Lal B3N]

Looks a lovely example.

Steering wheel retrim would finish it off nicely.

 

[Coops Mk1]

looks lovely, keep it standard

 

[Ade182]

Nice mate, as Justin said in the blue 197 spotted thread, we'll have to get them together for some snaps!

Spotted a nice shiny BG 182 earlier turning off Harrowside - was that you? I know of another BG in the South Shore area so could've been that.

 

[Richyy182]

What a lovely 182

That wasn't me unfortunately, mine is currently filthy and pretty much looks matt black whoops! Ill keep an eye out for you chaps though, it will be easier to spot me now!

The aim will be just to keep it at a high standard, probably a steering wheel retrim and some cooksports, nothing more

What a lovely 182

Thanks!
