Its not too bad mate, my other half lives in rotherham and i do it most days in 40 min or so.

Where abouts are you from pal?

A place called CAS coatings in bradford, absolute bargain and cant recomend them enough.

Incredible car, i personally wouldnt change a thing especially the rear bumper as the the black nicley breaks the gold up imo. I think due to the cars simplicity this is among the best looking on the forum Top work and pretty inspirational

Hi Guys Thought i would start a thread to see all the non sport Ph1 on here. As much as i love a ph1 sport just thought it could be good to see what else people have. I'll start

Since i bought the car the front fogs havent worked so took some time to try diagnose why. For a start there was no bulbs in them and the fuse was blown, after replacing there was still nothing. I removed the wiring and the terminals and loom looked to have water ingress and corroded wiring...

Right so the list of bits i want sorting as follows, will update as i go in case anyone has similar issues could potentially benefit from a heads up on the niggly problems listed. RCL inop Headlights clouded / require refurb Rear fogs inop since fitting ph2 rears Front splitter loose 1 heater...

I dont have a budget in mind as such but was gobsmacked at the differences in price, sometimes can differ by 3k. I have seen a really clean low mile 52 plate 172 for £2250 which seems good but i have no clue what to look out for on them.

Hi guys Just after a little advice really, am looking at perhaps upgrading from my Ph1 1.9dti to a Ph2 172/182. Just wondering what to look for on the sports and any potential costly common faults. Also the prices seem to vary massively from around £1100 upto £3500 but am unsure what could be...

I dont really want to fork out near £400 for the kit painting though and would sooner just get the car tidy and straight, plus i arent keen on drilling 10 holes down the sill for the skirts. Got my wheels back from my local powder coaters, if anyone is in or around yorkshire these guys are...

Decided to keep this now and do some bits to it.

Thanks for that pal, apreciate the advice

any advice at all?

Car looks really smart mate but in my opion would look so much better minus the tints and the rear lights.

Absolutley love this mate, the fit and finish looks excellent, i love how the ride height isnt ridiculous and the whole car looks almost OEM and most people on the road wont even notice the subtle changes. Excellent work mate.

Anyone?

Hi Guys My car is a phase 1 2000 plate with the dual optic projector lights and i was looking at installing an HID xenon since it has the projector units fitted. I am just after any advice / do's or dont's and some advice on which bulb will actually power the projector. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the reply pal. I dont want to really push the car as i do quite a lot of long distance mileage and it must remain bulletproof. I am going to see a local place called RS Tuning that seem to know a lot about renaults. I dont expect a fast car but an improved drive and performance...

Hi Guys I have a 2000 x plate clio 1.9 dti, that to be honest drives really well and goes ok for what it is. However i have done a little research and was looking at what tuning options there are if any and waht gains can be had. A local place to me RS Tuning in leeds seem to know renaults...

Insurance will definitley write that off, unless the car has a lot of sentimental value and you wish repair it yourself but the cost of the repair would far outweight the value of the car.

Tried the wheels on the car and got 4 new tires over the weekend, the current ones were still legal but budget and had seen better days so upgraded all 4 while there. The car drives really well on them, am unsure on whether to lower it 35mm or not. Will also be having the wheels powder...

I have had some heavily soiled wheels in the past and used brick acid, by god it gets them clean and costs next to nothing for a 5l drum

Mine isnt a sport but love it all the same. Has been fault free and covers the miles all day nearly every day. Will be upgarding to a sport in the next 6 months. This is my first french little hatch from swedish and german cars and really like the cars.

Thanks guys, will have a look at these over the weekend.

I personally prefer a car with a few more miles on it, had cars in the past with low miles that have just been stood on a drive or have spent lots of time off road with faults etc. Most of the cars i have owned have had over 100k and touch wood have been excellent, except 1 which had very low...

Hi all i have recently installed ph2 rear lights on my phase 1 as per the guide and all is well other than the rear fog lights which dont work. Does anyone haveany pointers on where i may have gone wrong? Cheers Richard

Hi guys. Have noticed a little water under the carpet in the boot and under the rear seat of my 2000 clio. I have looked but am unsure exactly where this could be coming in. Does anyone have any info where this could be getting in or if there are any common faults? thanks in advance Rich

Just bought some wheels for her which im collecting today. Will get these shot blasted and coated before fitting and have them rebalanced.

Not much going on to the car. Have put a good few thousand mile on her without missing a beat but thought i would get a few bits. Got some white LED side light bulbs but unsure on them, can anyone suggest a subtle 501 wedge for sidelights as the ones i have look a bit too bright and almost...

Brilliant car and great pictures. I love the whole package including the exhaust.
