Not going to quote it all agin but this is in reply

Well I don't have a car full stop at the minute so getting there would be difficult ha, I have been looking for a couple months though now so haven't rushed into getting one

Yeah I said just a 172 but it's actually a cup that I'm going to look at anyway. I have spent a while considering my options and a 172 cup fits what I want perfectly (as well as being the cheapest by a considerable amount of all the rs clio's regarding insurance)

Yeah, don't worry I'm not one of those people, I'll introduce myself straight away and certainly won't be handbraking my car round a car park, too old for that (I'm 21 today, going to be collecting pension soon)

The lad who was handbraking was as old as me...and I'm older than 21...he's a good mate and only did it as it wasn't his car!

I would double check the old insurance, as I was under the impression that the Cup was more expensive than the 172. If you can find one with Climate Control or a Cup in Silver with Climate, they are like rocking horse poo to get hold of!

I'll try and make this one

Been meaning to go to a few meets recently and ended up missing them for one reason or another

Hows the 182 Don, all fixed now?

Could have been Mandy's car...thats now sorted and working fine.

Yeah was only joking bout the age but

The cup being more to insure would certainly make sense but no it's £300 less than a ph1 and £400 less than the others.

Not too fussed about the climate control at all to be fair and love the blue, had 4 silver cars now in a row.

Appreciate the advice mate.

No worries at all. I had a Cup for 5 years....had an incident...so she was written off. If you see me letching over your car, I'll apologise as it will bring back memories! The 182 is my second Silver car, first one was a Megane Coupe and then this one.

IF you see one advertised, put it up to get opinions...there's a fair few on here who will help you and show you what to look for.

 

[Nickw88]

She's doing okay...there was nothing wrong with her....got a Cup spoiler and need wheels refurbing (£20 a wheel!!! In wheels forum from place in Brum).

See you're losing the orange...its what made your little beast noticeable. Let me know if you're coming as not seen you in AGES...

Yeah it probably was Mandy's car I was thinking of...silly me! Glad it's all sorted though.

Cup spoiler and wheels will finish her off well i reckon

Yes, ALL of the orange is now gone. Including the plastidipped wheels (removing it was a PITA, much worse than I expected!!) so you probably won't recognise me...I deffo need a wheel refurb though as they look shagged now

Put me down on the list, I'll do my upmost to be there and say hello to a few new people

Don't worry mate, it was user error!

Cup Spoiler is on mate...got that just before Xmas and it really does transform the rear end of the car.

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...Highly-Recommended-%A380-per-set-for-a-Refurb! is the place that does it for £20 per wheel...but you'll be without them for a week...so need a set of steelies to run on in the meantime. (or get a spare and do them one at a time!)

I thought the plastidip would have been relatively easy (not too easy! ) to remove...the solution was only temp mate...so don't worry.

I'll put you on the list mate...and I know you will be sociable...FFS you even talk to me!

Thanks very much for the link, I'll have a look when I get home. They might be the people I spoke to before Xmas because they were doing £20 a wheel but it was an Xmas special.

As for the plastidip, it was easy to remove off my badges etc but I think all the brake dust and crap off the roads made it difficult. Most of it came off alright, it was all the nooks and crannies that made it pain! Literally had the scrub it with my thumbs to save scratching the paint underneath. Four hours (and red thumbs) later it was all off!

Look forward to seeing you all very soon

 

[sbridgey]

I dont think my brother will be impressed with your removal of the orange, he thought it looked amazing in the world series convoy.

 

[LY_Kimmy_182]

count me in and my bf wayne9989

Haha, thanks! I remember you saying actually.

It's all up for sale now (except for the tow eye), you should buy it

 

[Don]

This is a week tomorrow...any takers?

 

[mharvey]

I picked up my 172 Cup today as planned so I'll be there

Have to admit I love it already, couple small things with it, main one being it's currently on ktec coilovers, they're not a nice ride and also too low at the minute so keep catching but that'll be sorted. Anyway I guess you'll see it in a week

 

[crazystu21]

i should be up for this if i get the GTA taxed before then, will mention it to a few i know around coventry aswell.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Was in MK today, nearly had a Nandos for lunch, thought best save it for next week instead.

You can never have enough Nandos....just make sure you get the loyalty card and they give you freebies the more you visit.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

If i get a car this week I'm there, I may still come in the van!

Nandos don't care if you come in a taxi, just be there.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Did you get your wheels sorted?

 

[DaveDreads]

I usually work weekends so I never get to go to meets, but at the moment it looks like I won't be working on the 29th,
so hopefully i'll be making this one.

I've never been to a Nandos before, how much is it for a plate of food?

 

[Tony Hunter]

Pick them up on Wed, took them up on Friday afternoon.

So we'll see, only for the race car anyway so they should be tidy for the start of the year.

 

[Don]

Obviously...depends on what you're after...menu is here.

Drinks are free refills...but I tend to go for the double chicken breast burger (with medium sauce) with cheese & fries and then smother the whole lot in garlic sauce....lush! :approve:

Sounds good to me, although if I can replace garlic for chilli sauce then i'll be happy. :approve:

 

[Don]

They have a few sauces...garlic, hot, extra hot and some others...but because I love the garlic on it...I don't bother with the rest. I'm sure you'll find something that ticks the box for you.

 

[James105]

As it stands, its all looking good! In Oxford for Friday evening, but not staying there the night, and very very unlikely I will be asked to go down to Bucks to work the sat or sun now. So looks like I'm a thumbs up too!

 

[Tony Hunter]

Fk me yes, nearly a fight outside as well while I was there.

Yep it has. And the one before that was my first meet. At Bentley bridge. You were very welcoming anyway. Are you doing convoy at all? Me and Matt Harvey could maybe meet you off m54 junction by Stafford road or the Cannock road? Simple down slip road and back up again jobby?

 

[Mr Burns]

I'll ask the missus if she's up for this

That shouldn't be a worry. I will ask Junior Bear if he fancies convoying down the '54 with me and can meet you on the way...will send you a PM nearer the time with my number and can call you as we are on our way.
