My 2005 Clio 182

[slinky2000]

Well after having the m3 for over a year and a half I got bored with it and found myself looking at other cars again. I'm just about to start doing my motorbike lessons so I wanted something small, cheap to run and in as good a condition as possible.

This popped up on RMS a few weeks ago and ticked all the boxes. It's got both CUP packs, genuine Trophy wheels, half leather and full electrics.

I'll try to do a proper shoot in the next few weeks when I get it fully on the road down here in the south and get rid of the m3.

It is so much fun and I love it. Also 40mpg isn't to be sniffed at either after big bmw petrol ownership!

Looks great, fantastic little cars

Make sure you get the timing belt done if it hasn't already

 

[slinky2000]

@Chris, Yea Darren done the belt about 20k ago. I'm already eying up stainless systems for it but I must resist until it really needs one. The 1.5k import tax to get it on southern plates will be a pain when I get around to it!

@Darren, Did you have it lowered at one point? Did you remove the kit?

 

[Boydie]

Looks great slinkster!!

 

[Mont]

Lovely looking example. Enjoy

 

[slinky2000]

Thanks folks!

@Darren, Did you have it lowered at one point? Did you remove the kit?

Yeh Stefan, had these in it at one point, for a month or so:

K-Tec Racing - Renault Tuning Styling Motorsport Specialists

but removed them as it was too bumpy/stiff. Standard Cup springs back in.

 

[Phil-Ray]

looking good Stef. hope you enjoy it.

ps i can see the old 1.2 fiesta in the background, still looks good.

 

[slinky2000]

Cheers darren and thanks Phil! Yea you need to get your ass in gear and scrap that bad boy!

Miss mine ... such a fun wee car... How you finding the Ktec system?

 

[slinky2000]

It's lovely actually, I went for the ultra performance with no mid silencer and was afraid it was going to be too loud, but it's just nice actually. A nice grumble when going slow and a nice roar when the foot goes down.

Doesn't sound half as loud as those yozza systems, which I'm glad of!

 

[slinky2000]

Oh yea the main change is that it's now on an Irish reg, €1500 later!
