Default Clio 172 cup, bilstein coilovers, 87k fsh....

After owning the car for 4.5 years, it's time for a change, I have bought my new car, so the milage on this will not change, it's been an absolute pleasure to own, bought it off a well respected member off here, who replaced lots of cosmetic parts just to freshen her up, incuding new steering wheel, bullets, badges etc etc, there's a progress thread on here somewhere.

Since my ownership I've made a few little changes to my taste but nothing major, as nothing needed doing, I have replaced the original turinis with 15" wheels, for improved handling and ride, not to mention tyres are a lot cheaper, ( I do not have the original wheels ) I have uprated parts as and when they have needed replacing, nothing has ever gone wrong with the car apart from General wear and tear and maintenance, from memory I think I have replaced a driveshaft, discs and pads and maybe a battery, it's beem a superb car to own and immense fun!

Issues with the car:

rear demister has a life of its own, comes on and off by itself and stays on for long periods of time ( never bothered me as I always have a clear window :wink: )

I have 2 keys for the car, when I use the spare key it somehow messes with the alarm and I then have to mess around with the ignition and the main key to get this one in use again, by turning the ignition on and pressing the alarm fob button ( so I just use one key, to eliminate this issue )

Headlights could do with a buff/refurb ( there's a guide on here, easy enough diy job )

Just to summarise, it's an awesome car, with no dodgy history, and nothing to hide, in very good condition inside and out, ( I'm sure if your into your detailing this car will come up a treat ) with brilliant handling and superb brakes, the car is a joy to drive, and will I will be sad to see it go.

Car is now sorn'd and locked away, new owner will have to tax due to new road tax laws ( this can be done online at my house, when purchasing the car, takes 2 minutes )

£2350 car is located in blackburn, lancashire and can be viewed from 2nd March, serious enquires only please and no silly offers!
