Far from the worst ive seen tbh.

banther · Mar 18, 2016

"Ova 10k spent" - nothing replicated about that. He's a bona fide Clio owner.

Matt W · Mar 18, 2016

Engine cover at the back? Someone needs to get photos of the inside.

Pistachio · Mar 18, 2016

Why does it have a sunroof?

_Tom · Mar 18, 2016

It looks like the guy from Jaytek racing made it from his facebook profile. Looks like they've worked on some nice cars.

Because it's not actually a V6 believe it or not 😂

No it doesn't?
Model - Clio grande rn
It's probably just got an F4R.

cat171 · Mar 18, 2016

Complete dog sh*t, but at least he saw sense to move the filler cap :wink:

Daz... · Mar 18, 2016

It says 1.2 in the details so I'm going to guess it never started as a 172.

Didn't notice that bit. Just saw this

"Stunning v6 rep 182 "

leedsboy · Mar 18, 2016

He's probably got a 1.2 Clio, stuck all the V6 bits on it and got his mate Dave who knows everything there is to know about cars to stick a dodgy 1*2 engine in, then he's plucked a figure out of thin air, 210bhp in this instance and tells everyone it's rapid.

JoeHumphreys91 · Mar 18, 2016

Looking for swops. Something fast... I like how he felt the need to reiterate that point

_Tom · Mar 18, 2016

To be fair the guy that built it also owned this..

Crybert · Mar 18, 2016

Yeah it's not the worst I've seen either. I'm sure the paint job turns heads!

DrR · Mar 18, 2016

That's actually one of the best I've seen! If it wasn't a silly colour.

Knuckles · Mar 18, 2016

How did they get 210bhp from a 1.2?! Mental.

Anyway. I'd love that as a track toy.

Jay.S · Mar 18, 2016

Going from his pictures his V6 reps are actually pretty decent. I'd have that above but at a very cheap price.

De sticker, decent wheels would look ok.

basket491 · Mar 18, 2016

Thinking exactly what other people have said definitely not that bad of rep take the stickers off wrap or resprayed it silver and wouldn't look too bad

BoatNonce · Mar 18, 2016

I would genuinely rather s**t pineapples than drive that.

BGEarles · Mar 18, 2016

So glad this thread had popped up, this guy lives near me and as i was driving past the local McDonalds the other week i spotted it, turned around and went to have a look. As i was 'checking it out' the owner come over and was speaking to him for a while telling me hes spent in excess of £10K on it, turboed ect ect.. Seemed an alright guy tbf.

But he is telling everyone in the area that its a real V6 and it does have an engine cover in the back which i couldn't really see due to tints.

Anyways i car checked it when i got home and it come up a 1.2, lying bast.

Anyways, i did like it, just too chavved up.

Is the paintwork/bodywork in good condition etc?

BGEarles · Mar 18, 2016

From where i was sat in my car it all seemed great, even tried checking for massive wheel spacers which i couldn't see. Always see it driving about.

BGEarles · Mar 18, 2016

@MarkMchugh - Have you seen this about?

Swop for your T182?

Oggy997 · Mar 18, 2016

If it's a turbo f4r, for £3k, I'll buy it irrespective of it being rancid green.

Lol, I was just thinking 'if this was a 300hp turbo'd f4r running 12 second 1/4 miles' peoples opinions would be slightly different no matter how s**t it looked.

dann2707 · Mar 18, 2016

Actually looks pretty good if it wasn't in that lairy jeremy kyle green.

Surely if it was turboed it would say it in the description though.

Knuckles · Mar 18, 2016

Do people genuinely think it looks s**t? Or are the just on about the colour, or stickers, or hopping on the bandwagon?

That's one of the best v6 reps I've seen.

*if I had the money for a project car* I'd have that if the stickers weren't lacquered in lile the real ones were.

What's Jeromy Kyle got to do with green?

It's just Jeremy kyle green isn't it!

Oggy997 · Mar 18, 2016

Actual name associated to the paint code iirc

Jekyll · Mar 18, 2016

Is it?!

Ah, I see it now!

Jay.S · Mar 19, 2016

To sort the engine debate.

It's a 182 engine with cams etc running 210 apparently. Body is a Ph1 1.2. Just got a reply from him. Guessing he hasn't declared the engine swap.

dan112 · Mar 19, 2016

Why go to all that effort to make it look like a Clio v6 and badge it as a Renault 25

la21t · Mar 21, 2016

This car is a quite scary stalker-ripoff of this proper V6....

midge · Mar 21, 2016

The advert says £6995? and the description says it has an engine dynamics turbo conversion ?

Jay.S · Mar 21, 2016

He has changed it it was reduced to £2295 the other day, he has clearly clicked on.

It looks great in that above link though!

The ad says he's spent £15k on it, he could have bought a proper one for that.
