thanks all, working on later tomorrow so will be a mad rush when I finish!

only live 8 miles from work so shouldnt be too bad, can have more fun on the weekend now though lol

 

[Paul]

Welcome fella!!! That is one fine looking car...

 

[folos]

what should i expect in actual mpg? have heard as high as 35mpg though i'd imagine it's more around 20-25?

 

[MikeDX]

I'm getting low 20's at the moment but it is due a service..

 

[Fernandez]

Low 20's for sure but you get more smiles for the miles. ;-)

 

[thebadger]

looks very nice.Is the front splitter sprayed smooth over the original carbon look.

Looks like no Xenons to me, (no washer jets) just looks like projector headlights with cornering light.

Nice car tho

welcome

sold it in the family, and i'm a named driver on it so I can still get my 55mpg if I need it long distance!

done about 50 miles in the clio and it's showing 28.8, need to stop driving like a granny haha

Pleased you like it mate. I came from a corsa c SXI petrol background and passed that down to my sis who passed a few months ago. On saying that although that is is a 1.2 it's a pretty thirsty 1.2 so it prepared me well for the clio. TBH the clio isn't that thirsty considering the 2.0 engine it's got and the 197 bhp that comes out of it.

I am only 3 weeks into my purchase of a 197, not the R27 F1 spec like what you got, but I love it to. LY colour is a really nice colour. I got albi blue colour.

When I first bought it I was cruizing for a few weeks at first and putting my foot down in places but not much so I could get used to the power delivery, size of the car (tiny bit bigger than corsa), clutch biting point, close ratios on the box etc, but once you have bedded urself in like me and everyone else on here, you can start to stretch her legs. :bounce: Then the smiles come out!!

ENJOY BUD!!!
