well i didint actually pay for it but found it for him!!!

it was in scrap yard as a cat E write off, which is not actually damaged just stolen recovered and does not show up on log book etc so its like normal car! was few scratches in bumper and wing, and little dent in bonnet!!

so have done all them and just got it all back together, sent fuel cap away to get paint mixed to match the car cos there are 7shades.........hehe

perfect match and have not blown the paint in did it all off the car so no chance of over spray!

here are the pics, its only done 22k miles and its an 02 reg!! list price is around 6 k and we paid 4.2k for it and spent £30 to sort bodywork!

log book came today! need number plates made then mot and on the road

and finally one pic of my winter car.................hehe

had the roof off for the last week!!! its bit chilli tho

lovely car, the same as mine as well!!

Black 172 are slightly more rare and i think they look the best by far!!

Rear end in the wet is all bollox, they handle 100x better than any of my corsas and i feel so much confident in the wet in the clio

okay i looked at the 182 and the 255 3 years ago, i assumed they had been out for a year or two before that, i was wrong.. How my could you pick up a decent 3 year old one for then?
