Oooh that would look good - any idea how much they are?

I'm glad some people are seeing my vision of coolness!

Any photoshoppers out there want to prove me right/wrong?


for the carbon pods speak to scot as sg motorsports, i know he was having some sets made up, door cards too i think.

A white ph 1 Vee would look very cool, but as Fred says 15k is mk2 vee money and theres just no contest

There is a white R26 coming out anyway... although the idea of a white mk2 V6 in white with the contrasting white elements is a very exciting project.

At the end of the day buying a new Renault will never be considered a solid investment so get a cheap second hand model and do it up. I'd look for a mk2 V6 though myself rather than the first V6.

u'll devalue it by only spending £1500 on the respray!

you'll need to pay at least 2k to spray it properly. (removing all glass, interior, trim etc. if you cut corners u'll be paying twice for the work, (once to do it and the loss in value on the resale price)

buy one in mars red with anthracite wheels.

Okay, another photoshop:

As for the respray, i'll be getting the equivalent of a £2500 respray done for £1500, mates rates you see.....

Personally after seeing these photoshops, its making me want to do it even more!!! :D

Oh, and for some reason i think the slightly curvier nature of the Ph1 V6 suits the white more...

Plus they're cheaper!!!!

I have to agree with you mate. It does look the dogs danglies. Only thing is the Ph1 is only 230bhp is that right? Never been in one but I'd imagine they aren't all that fast? Probably R26 pace? Ph2 would be quicker although more expensive. Obviously though you don't just buy a V6 for it's performance...
 
  '02 MG TF160
Naa, like i've said previously, i think the Ph1 suits white better.

I will be putting a Ph2 spoiler on though, much better...

And given how they handle, i think 230bhp is more than enough.. lol
 
  M2 Competition
Why not just leave it silver, and fit the carbon pods and anthracite wheels?

Apart from car nuts, no-one appreciates white cars anyway, will just look like a work mobile.

Standard a mk1 does 60 in about 6 secs - a ton comes up in about 17 though, so not too bad (obviously the mk2 is quicker)
As you say - you don't buy one for it's performance (well I didn't anyway, if i'd have wanted proper performance i'd have got a scooby P1 or something like that)
I don't find it overly slow at all, it launces really well & pulls hard, sure it's a touch slower than my last car, but not snail pace slow.

For me it was for the look of it, the rarity & desireability factor. Plus turns so many heads it's un-true :)

...And given how they handle, i think 230bhp is more than enough.. lol

With regards to the handling, most of that is bullsh*t tbh. Sure in the wet if I was to push it hard i'd spin it, but driven sensibly in the wet it's fine. They have lot of grip in the dry, which is great.
Also - no v6's make the quoted power either:dapprove: a mk1 is likely to be about 210-215bhp & a mk2 is about 240 (or so)
 
  Clio v6
If you go with white please give it a good sparkle otherwise it may look like the v6 panels when they arrived at TWR.
 
  Punto/Clio GTT
IMO white is only "cool" on here because were clio geeks.

average joe would be like, hmm its had a respray, wont be touching that one, aint even metallic.
 
  '02 MG TF160
White is the most popular colour on the market at the moment - look at the Golf GTi, loads of them in white - lots of manufacturers are using white for press cars (BMW, Audi, Merc), and, er, Porsche?

I just want to create an individual car that isn't some Max Powered sh*twagen with 6 exhausts and a GRP bodykit that doubles its weight.
 
  Clio MK2 172

I thought some Johnny Foreigner might have done it, but at least i'll be doing it differently with the carbon sidepods and anthracite wheels...

And i'll still be the only one at FCS08.... :D

Had a play last night with the old PS, this what your going to be looking like? ;)
