CH!P's Flame Red Clio 172 :: SOLD!
 

Wahey. Got one after year's of wanting one :)

The Saxo has gone... All i will say about that really, miss it, but hey ho.

Bought this at a bargain price. Cambelt and de-phaser need's doing but at the price i got it for it honestly doesn't matter haha :D
67k miles on her too, so the sort of mileage i wanted.

Detailed her today and put new number plate's on. Didn't get quite the correction i wanted with the machine as whilst i were machining it the sun was basically non existent and i was struggling. But the colour it's come out with is amazing!

Love it mate, but you have to replace that exhaust for a stealth one. I can't see why people change them.

Any plans? Wet finish is epic btw.

Chip! Thats a beaut! And ive only ever said that once before!
Plans? I hope it turns into a right shiner like the vtr!

Cheers buddy. Yea, i want a K-tec stealth system. But tbh the cambelt and de-phaser are the first port of call. Will have that done within the next couple of weeks.

Plans: As i said, K-Tec stealth system, Coilovers, refurb wheels... Perhap's some carbon and silicone.

I really don't want to go as far as i did with the Saxo. I loved the Saxo, but it was money down the drain. Plus the Clio's such a nice ride. I love how luxurious it is compared to the Saxo.

Truly a 10000x better car.

I've also got some Silvatec indicator bulb's and LED white sidelight bulbs... But i'll tackle the tomorrow. Changing a bulb is fucking hard compared to the Sax!!!! Haha.

Looks awesome dude nice upgrade from the amazing saxo that you had :)

I see k-tech, and im impressed, when i was looking into buying my mates 172, i got a frw quotes from them!

Just had a ganda ar your fb pics! Looks great man, fuck you and your drive way tho!!!
Looking forward to some more pics and updates of this beauty!

I don't get luxurious in the cup :( and agreed cambelt is a good first port of call. What colour for the wheels? And theres a dude on CS that does Carbon diamonds, bullets, dash strips, gear insearts etc. Some of it looks mint.

Fucking lol!! You and my driveway haha!

And cheers dude :) Yea, K-Tec have a good reputation, so think that's probably where a lot of stuff will be coming from.

Proper chuffed with it tbh :D

mann i love it!!!! lol after seeing your old one in the flesh i would miss it too but that red mmmmmm lol the sax is nice but im sure this will be even nicer!

Yea, i've seen his stuff for sale dude. I'll be having a word with him come new year i reckon.

I'm thinking silver for the wheels - just to keep it looking fairly standard. Thought about anthracite, but i'm not sure. It does look good, just not sure if i'd prefer it to look more standard.

Just tell him to look after it! Lol.

Also, whilst i think about it... Tell him he needs a mk1 oil filter whenever he does change the oil. Raceland manifold means he can't have a mk2 filter.

And cheers :y:

Cracking looking car, I hope you'll change the front indicator bulbs to silver as I think it's the only thing that's ruined on the front of a clio (I also have one but not a sport sadly :( ) and it's the first thing I changed it. Maybe for the alloys perhaps go anthracite with the renault badge in red for something a bit different?

Just a thought but cracking car :)

very nice mate

Love it Chip! :fcuk:

Looks good :y:

Don't kill it

Looks Epic! Love rs Clio's.

Ahh My mate had a Monaco Blue 172.. the de-phaser pulley needed changing on that aswell, Sounded like a diesel on idle :D

How the hell do you make your cars shine the way they do! you need to give me a few tips!! thats is gleeming!

Jealous matey :(, 2,300 quid i got quoted on one of these if was to get one tomorrow, going to wait till October '11 and see what is what, anyways.. what a beauty you have bagged yourself, your plans sound perfect.. it's what i would do to it personally aswell, don't you fancy the Renault Turinis?.

thats lovely mate! good buy!! maybe looking for one once i get bored of the old sax-hoe.....
