So I'm Greig, I'm new on here and Clios are completely new to me! I am usually a VW man (had over 20), and prior to the Clio's had a 340HP Mk5 Golf GTI, and I am currently restoring a Mk2 GTI 16v in Oak Green.
I got offered the below Clio 182 in exchange for a deal on the Mk5. It was polybushed, on coilovers, had a PMS shifter etc etc.
Holy shit it was awesome, and I realised I should have bought one years ago. But on the daily grind, I was a little concerned with reliability, due to high mileage and it being an old french car
. Sold it to my friend Andrew and decided to stick with the Clio's and upgrade to a 200 Cup.
So after seeing a couple of 200s in Scotland that weren't to my standard, Andrew and I flew down from Aberdeen to Birmingham to pick it up and drove it up with no problems
2010 Clio 200 Cup
70k
FSH (service in January and belts done March 2016)
13 months MOT
KTR intake
KTR Pro exhaust
Aircon
As it arrived, with stickers and fly eye etc.
Post wash, desticker and wet vax
Fitted some new mats
Fitted new stickers to the radio
Plans are simple, a set or Recaros, either pole positions or the Clio CS ones, potentially a secondary decat and some polybush engine mounts. I'll detail it in spring, as it would benefit from it. Oh and better photos as mine are terrible haha. Other than that, I have a mk2 to get back on the road, so that needs funds.
On the whole, it seems a good step up from the 182, not as raw, but just as fast and definitely more capable.
