Back into a mad one: Renault Clio V6

[smithyithy]

Such an awesome car and build!

Did you consider replacing the fog lights with brake cooling ducts, or would that not be worthwhile?

[moktabe]

Not really needed to be fair.

There are some Trophy ones that sit on top of the front splitter but with being black they they aren't patently obvious in pics.

As said , the plinth for the plate should be wrapped. They missed it when it was first done but it will get sorted.

Grey is the new yellow

Have seen that one. Let's just say it's started a bit of a debate elsewhere

[moktabe]

Tyres won't be going on until a week on saturday but couldn't resist the temptation to put them alongside the car to see how they looked.

I like them.

[moktabe]

[moktabe]

They're on.

Very happy with them.

[Butter Face]

They look great!

[moktabe]

Well had the car for 3 years now and, when I bought it, it was definitely going to remain oem.

That plan lasted well.

Totally off topic...

Many years ago I used be based at a horse racing stables owned by an Arab family I worked for. Was sat in the security office one day and needed a forum name. On the wall was a list of racehorses that were on site. Went through it and ended up with Moktabe and have used it on a few different forums over the years.

If thats true, thats great. Brilliant

Did you have a bet on it and did the horse come in?

[moktabe]

It's true.

There were usually over 400 horses on site so betting could easily become a mugs game!

Moktabe (the horse) disappeared after one season so likely didn't do overly well.

It's a brutal business.

That’s some transformation from when you bought it. I looked up my old one recently and looks like it’s been off the road for the last 4 years. Guess it’s an ‘investment’ car now.

[moktabe]

Had an investment car once. Although I did well out of it the frustration of not really being able to use was too much.

This was was bought with the intention of using it

No idea, Reg ends OXN. Looking at pics I must have sold it 14 years ago! Where the time goes I don’t know.

I still remember your GP and CSL from my MINITorque days

All great cars including this one.

[moktabe]

They were both great cars but for character, or smiles per mile, this thing leaves them way behind
