No question - my old Valver looked meaner than my Ph2 172.
The 172/182 is missing a bonnet bulge and flared rear arches - although the Valver doesnt have side skirts. The Mk2 Clio also has "sporty" models like the Dynamique that look like the 172/182, whereas the Mk1 didnt have ones that looked like the 16V/Willy.
Its true, it is a bit curvy. But then again the mk1 172 is hardly hardcore. Looks all rounded and bubble like to me. The Mk2 has a much sharper looking front end imho, with triangular lights etc.
No competition between any new Clio and the Valver/Willy though. Its all about the bulge!!
Only reason valver looks meaner isbecause of its dated hard edge looks.It still looks like a 1.4rt with bonnet bulge.172 or 182 win hands down in terms of nice car.End of the day a 172 or 182 doesnt need to look meaner,when it actually drives meaner......
