Ph1 Pearl Black 172



  172 phase 1


I have had a few French hatches in my time, owning 4 R5GTT's and 4 205 Gti's about 10 years ago, found the Renaults more fun and better to drive and always liked a Renault sport clio. After selling my MR2 GTS Turbo, I bought a Seat Ibiza Tdi sport, remapped etc which was the biggest money pit and worst built car i have ever owned, so sold it and bought my Clio.


Looked round a few Clios and found this 1 with mods already done to it, owned by a mature owner for over 3 years.


This was how it was when i bought it (ad pics)

much better!


Even though the car sounded great i was getting some serious heat soak to the air filter, especially around town,
so went from the k&n

My girlfriend bought me a Momo wheel for my birthday to replace my worn wheel :)

Decided to go for some smaller wheels and so sold my 17s and got some stock 16s

they are so much heavier than the 17s that the handling really suffered, i did not like them at all so are up for sale,




had a mini photoshoot with a best mates Lexus and my girlfriends MR2 :)

thanks, i've got to tidy it up a bit, need a dent taking out and need to detail it, needs a thorough machine polish etc, also the headlights need flatting and buffing up,
prob going to stick with the stock back bumper though :)
