My new car..

[dan-hipgrave]

..Its not a Nova though, sorry guys.

After looking around at all my options, I decided to go for a Clio 1.8 16v, and picked this one up yesterday. Got a couple of problems with it, like the gearbox crunches really badly when the engine gets warm (gearbox oil level i think), and its got a dent in the front of the bonnet where it was kicked according to the previous owner..

Anyway, enjoy!!

Im well happy with it, and the styling/performance are spot on, so for now its staying mint and standard :D

i liked them clio's myself but they're getting rare over here in n.ireland

[General Baxter]

looks spot on, but...... be carefull reno's labour and parts cost a bomb,


i remember my dad lest his window open over night (laguna) and the door electrics got wet, ?350 labout and ?50 for new switches :o

[Adam]

[dan-hipgrave]

cheers for the comments guys!

Its pretty cool now having a car that people dont take the piss out of as well - a couple of the guys at work who always took the piss out of the Novas, came in today and called it a girls car, then at lunchtime I showed them around it, and they just shut up completely :lol:

[Jack]

Can't say i'm a great fan of the clio's myself, but I have to say I do like their compactness.

So is the wonderfully coloured Mexico Red nova going bye bye now?

[dan-hipgrave]

well at the moment, ive had loads of emails concerning parts off it, but no one has actually said a definate, so i still have the whole car here, still goes and everything, just has no MOT (needs welding to chassis rails if anyones interested lol)

But yeh, its gonna be stripped and scrapped :(

[ANDYRACER]

Shame about the nova. Like Baxter said watch out for labour costs they'll come back to haunt you. A few of my mates have had to sell there clios coz labour costs were to much. Looks clean though.

[jamie gsi16v]

like the car mate, love how they sound, get a big filter nd nice exhaust, 17" gold speedlines also look mint!!

[Marc]

my mates just got the next clio up fomr that with gold 18's on it with an exhaust sounds well but is only a 1.2 16v
