    When you fall out of love with the clio....

    I'm a bit out of love with mine at the moment due to the fact it seems to have a bit of a drink problem and is costing me money at the the petrol pumps which I can ill afford. I checked my mpg this morning and it made for depressing reading - 22.5 mpg! However, if I leave it stood at home...

    Grrr car scraped on a wall

    It's soooooo annoying when that happens! This morning I managed to do virtually the same thing to my passenger side front wing whilst backing out of our garage and am now sporting a big white graze for my efforts! Also the bumper/wing aren't lined up quite right any more so all in all i'm...

    Spoiler and HID's

    Definitely go for a cup spoiler - i've had mine on for a couple of months now and it's kinda hard to remember what it looked like with it! Finishes the car off superbly - should come as standard in my book!

    Newbie looking for a 197.

    What happened to the red!! :tongue_smilie: Red, black, blue, silver, yellow or white I'm sure you're going to absolutely your new beastie :001_tt1: (though I still think Ultra Red is the best colour by far...personal opinion....)

    Hi i'm Macca

    Thanks everyone for the lovely welcome...I have put a couple of pics up in the gallery section but will make the effort to get some newer ones as soon as the sun reappears over here! In answer to ben's question, I loved my 182 it was great fun to drive and I got used to the cup suspension...

    Is it me or does it feel like we are losing more forum members than we are gaining..?

    I've had mine for 4 years now and it still puts a big grin on my face each time I drive it! For me it's the ideal size for a small island, big enough to transport most things I need, small enough to nip through the lanes and speedy enough to take on our hols to France...plus I absolutely love...

    Few pics of my 197 :-)

    Here are a few photos of my 197 I need to give it a good wash and get some newer pics done next time the sun's out as she's now proudly sporting a funky new cup spoiler too! But for now in the interests of being friendly also a bonus pic of our meggy

    Which black?

    What a lovely looking car, you must be chuffed to bits with it! Looks like deep black to me - one of the best colours in my opinion :thumbup1:

    clio sales down

    It seems to me that people just haven't got that much spare cash to be spending on new cars (or anything much else!) at the moment, on top of which there appear to be a lot of 197 and 200's up for sale just now, making it very much a buyers market. At the end of the day if you can find a much...

    What has gone wrong with your Clio?

    So far mine has largely behaved itself.. (famous last words!) In 4 years i've had only had the door seals replaced (they split last summer) and way back when I had the kangaroo problem sorted out. I've had a couple of flat batteries over the winter which were entirely my own fault for...
