Racing Blue Clio 182

[Burt2000]

I bought this last week as a replacement for the Gti. It's does everything it did only better and is very useable as a daily when needed as it's a lot newer with a lot more spec. It has cup packs, Turinis, eibachs and a full miltek system. I can keep this in the drive over the winter without fear of it rotting away as where the Gti was just a bit too old and fragile at its age.

I'm not changing anything looks wise but I do have a to do list of bits and pieces to replace and a few things to tidy up over time. It will be getting sorn'd once the Cupra arrives so I'll just be gathering parts over winter.

A couple of pics before the sun went down as it was dry today

Yes yes yes!

They are one of the most fun cars ever made, I loved mine!

RB on grey turinis is perfection too

 

[Deckz]

Love it. Best colour.

Having a feeling I know who used to own this! We looked after it for the previous owner and carried out quite a bit of work over the last couple of years.

Very well looked after little car .

Love it Barry.

Indeed, the previous owner is an RMS'er. Piles of history and receipts for work over the years. It's had 3 timing belt changes and only on 74k lol.
Previous owner looked after it very well and I will be doing the same, there's a couple of minor cosmetic bits to sort but it's immaculate underneath and a really well sorted wee car.

Best colour in them and with anthracite turinis it's perfect.

Health to enjoy.

 

[micko]

Looks perfect. Wouldn't change a thing on it!

 

[Lyons]

Absolutely perfect indeed .

Is the GTi away? What happened there?!

 

[McKay]

That's very nice, RB with turins and both cup packs is as good as it gets in a 182.

 

[stuartyvilla]

Beautiful and as eddie mentioned a very good example as well! I agree with everyone else too, bar maybe liquid yellow racing blue on turns is the best combo!

Yeah the GTI is away to london. A fella made me a decent offer on it and I sold it on as it was just a bit too old for a 2nd car and really needed garage. The Clio is a much better alternative and it had the spec I was after.

Liquid yellow is my number 1 colour in them but just none about, racing blue is def a close 2nd though. Funny how it changes depending on the light. Sometimes its really deep but a totally different shade in the bright sun

 

[Carson]

That is brilliant ! I will own another one someday!

 

[StevenMc29]

Lovely!

Wish I still had mine! Best colour for them imo (bar LY possibly)! Looks perfect!

 

[Burt2000]

Out of all the cars I've had (probably around 40) it's in top 3 for fun and handling, so much feed back from it and it really corners like a grey hound

Wait to the Cupra arrives

Clio looks fantastic, is the Cupra not going to be a daily?

 

[jimcupra]

Outstanding Barry knowing you it will be for sale in a few months .

 

[Burt2000]

Oh aye the Cupra will be the daily along with the zoe, we need 2 cars on certain days of the week with my wife's shift pattern. The 182 may become the 2nd car once the zoe goes back next June but I'd prefer to keep it for weekends where possible. 182 will be sorned over winter when the Cupra appears eventually!

 

[Lee]

Thats a beauty!

 

[saxo_man]

Love the baby seat in there too. HTD.

 

[Mark315]

Stunning, again if its the same previous owner i'm thinking... you've got a very very clean car.

Enjoy it, cant beat a 182 on a back road!

 

[Burt2000]

It is a good one, a few car park dings to be popped out around the car and the front bumper needs a small crack fixed after an altercation with a badger

 

[domo gti]

That is lovely Baz
You must be on first name terms with the people in the DVA with the amount of V5 forms youve changed your name on
Really love that colour/wheel combo

 

[Burt2000]

Lol aye i'm sure they know me by now....this ones a keeper though
