Hello all,

picked up my new car today, 172 full fat in silver 49k on 02 plate! not insured yet as the corsa has a month left to run and admiral wont insure me on the clio, Can't wait to start driving it tho and get rid of the 1.2 8v power!

Its totally standard at the mo, stuff already ordered are, full belt kit for service, oil and filter, megane splitter, 4 new tyres as fronts are slick nearly! osram indicator bulbs, smoked side reps, sport grille as it has the poverty one! got the dent man coming to get rid of a few car park dings aswell.

future mods inc exhaust, wheel refurb, eibach springs and a shed load of other treats

comments welcome
Ash

love it mate, lot of power for a clio

only thing i don't like is the fact it ''looks'' like a 1.2 or something. possibly due to the wheels? just doesn't stand out from other clio's IMO, don't take it personally though, i think they are great little cars

You are going to think you've had a rocket attached to your arse coming from a 1.2 8v to that

Nice one
