[Jimbo]

Quite nice fella.

Been looking at a 2.0l Megane and 2.0l Mazda 3 for the missus, unsure mind :)

Just watch out on the road tax on the Megane 2.0's, think its going to shoot up :( 1.9DCi 120 or 130bhp is a better choice if your looking at the 2.0 engines :)

Looks really nice that Clio mate, Flame Red really suits it :D

[chambers]

do like the flame red, the pics I probs should have lightened up but was really tired lol

Doesnt make a bad backdrop the bridge, think it would be good when its lit up

[ellis]

[Greg]

Next on the list

Lowered and Clio "Cup" Alloys

By cup do you mean the Turini's? Or Anth 182's?

[gregwVTS]

Clio looks fantastic, great little car mate and I love that colour. One thing I dont like about Clios is the inside... they just look a wee bit bland and early 90's, that is apart from the seats, they look alright :).

[Hitty86]

aslong as they ar Anthracite and 16"s, Would prefer Turini's but would settle for 182's

[Hitty86]

Well, had my 1st problem with the Clio

http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2276/134/5/542147480/n542147480_1844981_4997.jpg

Naff Mirror Switch!

[Greg]

You got a replacement sourced mate?

If not ring Josh @ cliospares on 01302867985

He's one of my best mates and the CS guys swear by him.

[Hitty86]

Getting one off Cliospares already.. £12.50 inc abit of loom and postage.. just waiting or some details for paypal! :)

[Greg]

Sits ok, Will settle lower.. Then it should look even better!, and the Ride feels spot on :D

Next up : Spacers, and paint rear wiper base black... Its well faded

and im currently toying with the idea of getting it Cammed ;)

Thanks for looking :P

[MRHBLUE2]

Looking cool buddy....

Great update

[Greg]

[gregwVTS]

looks amazing, I have to say I do love that colour.

[Hitty86]

Thanks

@ Greg - They are GMAX 30mm, Tbh im quite suprised how good the ride is on these springs considering they are cheap, Not to firm and deffinately handles better! :D

@ gregwVTS - Thanks, And i nearly bought a silver one :hammer: .. Im glad i got a Flamer :D

[Hitty86]

Thanks for looking, Looks loads better than it does on the pics though :P

[Greg]

Not sure on them TBH.

Glad you didn't go for Turini's though.

[Hitty86]

lol everyone gets turini's now, wanted to try something different and ive always liked the RSS's.. Chambers just happen to be selling and they fit the Clio. But you do gotta see them in the flesh, they do look a bit w*nk in the photo's..

[Hitty86]

like flamers with grey alloys, everyones doing it :P

[chilun73]

i like the wheels mate cause i got them too! :D but im not sure if it suits the clio. more spokes wil suit it i think but as long as your happy.

[Phill106]

needs lowering.

[Hitty86]

ermm... it is lowered..

[C2raig]

Nice 1.2 Mark!

[Hitty86]

Thanks Cwaig!, fancy a swap for your 1.1 300bhp monster? :P

[C2raig]

Nah, not when a Clio Williams will demolish it.

[Hitty86]

roflmao :P

[chambers]

mmmmmm nice

[gregwVTS]

being honest... I think I prefer your standard ones powdercoated, but thats maybe because i'm used to seeing those alloys in the clios. It's the exhaust tip i'm not too sure about, I know its been on a while... I just think it looks a little odd. I would need to see it in the flesh. One thing that still makes up for it all is the gorgeous colour though :D .

[Phill106]

ermm... it is lowered..

take it back tell them to finish the job :p lol

[Hitty86]

looks load better in the flesh.. well atleast i think so :P.. I know what you mean about the exhaust its been on the list from the start!.. I didnt fit it neither, it was on the car when i bought it :P


@ Phil.. I did but i told myself to get lost :P

[Hitty86]

Thanks for looking :P

[C2raig]

Mark, those wheels are chavvy.

[Hitty86]

Ok Nathan ;)

[chambers]

what the hell is Razz?

[Hitty86]

??

[gregwVTS]

The dash is the clios worst feature in my opinion, very bland. I Like what you've done though, spraying parts of it and the engine bay looks neat. Oh, i'm also suprised how small the rear discs look :P

[chambers]

Never mind if you press stop before the images have loaded (because the net at Helens is super slow) the :-p just say Razz lol

[Hitty86]

o..k lol. Rear brakes are small, but gotta be said the car weighs naff all and the front does most of the stopping :P

[C2raig]

Those rear discs are just an aftermarket upgrade over the 1.2's drums.

I can't say I've ever liked the Clio dash, it looks exactly the same as my mate's V-Plate 1.2 RN. However, if I had that much power I would not be spending that much time looking at the interior.

[Nathan_c2]

although ive seen the engine bay in person its looks loads better in pictures :D
looks great i think

[Hitty86]

looks better when ya see it tbh, espescially now its had some T-Cut on it.. :)

[Hitty86]

I Have found it!!!!!!!!!..

Me wants it back.. :(

Do it!!!! I would never let my old Car slip out my hands :lol:

[Hitty86]

very very tempted to be honest, ive found out today my car is actually under a loan not finance and the car is mine to do as i please, so looking to sell it quick for a decent price buy summit a little cheaper and have abit of cash still as i havent found a job yet.. hence ive been looking at cars and come across the Clio.. :/
