Yes, I previously had an 04 V6 255 in Black Gold too.
I don't really know why they stashed it away - Steve is right about them losing/mis-placing cars though. I've been to QEK at Heyford Pk which is where most of the RUK cars/press cars are prepped and they have loads of cars tucked away...
I'm liking the look of that - its about time Nissan started to produce some decent looking motors. Looks like a full size-pumped up version of the 350Z.
My V6 has finally arrived and looks really nice on the driveway along with the Trophy - trouble is deciding which one to drive now!
The V6 is a mint ex-RUK car which has been stashed away for ages and even after me doing loads of miles today going up and down the country, it has still only...
I've always used optimax/v-power since its arrival. I can't say that I ever experienced a performance advantage, but I use it for its cleaning properties. A few years ago one of the mags did a test by putting a small camera into the top of various engines. They then ran the cars on Optimax for...
The other problem with a Sponsor like Renault is that they would probably want to censor any negative comments about them or their dealers. They also probably wouldn't appreciate the modifications to the cars that many have undertaken.
With sponsorship, I was thinking along the lines of...
Gareth, prestige audio in Rickmansworth are sh*t hot. Highly recommended. Did loads of stuff to my Rangey Sport. They also designed the OEM audio kit for the McClaren F1, so I think that speaks for itself. 8)
Definitely. Once the V6 has been released (approx 2 weeks) we'll be ordering some of those babies! Unless of course someone smashes up a Trophy in the meantime. :(
Maybe they weren't an option then. I know when I ordered my 2004 V6 they definitely weren't an option, but I recently saw a late one (not Jeremy's) also with them fitted, so thought maybe they had been introduced as a late option on the last few shells.
:?
Just a thought, but as the site gets bigger the running costs go up and it might be an idea to try to get some well known Clio specialists to provide a bit of backing. In return they get a small banner somewhere with a link to their own website.
Bang on guys, after being in the recaros, I just can't face going back to the standard RS items..... yuk! A nice set of trophy items would just fit the bill :)
If you want it for a track car, you'd be much better off with buckets rather than the recaro's :wink:
And I'd be happy to take the recaros off your hands (need them for the V6).
Gareth, where do you keep pulling these pics from? have you got some massive database with pictures of different clio's in the most weird colour combinations?
Too right, bronze my arse!
Do you remember those Renault Monaco limited editions from the 80's, they did a 25, 21 and a 5 - all in a metallic dog turd brown, complete with bad guts shite coloured leather interior. I reckon they found a few tubs of the old paint and decided to slap it on a V6. :?
