Here she is:

Picked it up last Sunday and am well chuffed with it. It's a big upgrade from my Escort 1.6 16v and I no longer go round corners at 45 degrees

Pity I can't take a good photo

Good call

[edit]Ooh, except that nasty exhaust, and the dirty mesh at the front

Nice car matey

Lose the exhaust though

Nice car mate, welcome to the club. I guess you've been to www.cliosport.net ?
Lose the exhaust and mesh and she will be looking sweet. Whats the spec? how old, how many miles, etc?

I'll add my support to the "lose the Motorworld Chav-stylings"

Nice, echoing previous comments lose the exhaust and mesh and it'll be spot on

Also if the red on the calipers is a bit grubby either get them ack to standard or give them another coat to touch them up

Smart colour as well.

MrMatteh · 19 Mar 2006 at 17:53

nice choice

as others have said, get a more incognito exhaust

Yep I'm on cliosport.net

Yeah the exhaust isnt fully to my taste either but its not half as loud as it looks. It'll have to stay for a while though

. I dont mind the mesh though neither adds nor takes away from its looks imo

It's an 02 car, done about 50,000 and its all basically standard afaik

Naples Red 172 with the same exhaust - ain't many about, Naples is one of the less common colours. Doesn't take a lot to put 2+2 together (and get 5 in this case lol)

Always loved the Flame Red 172's, i've been looking round myself for one recently, do you mind me asking how much it set you back?

I'd echo the comments about exhaust and mesh though. Cup splitter and some Turinis ... job's a good un

Just the way it read seemed he was arguing a point that I'd missed

Andy I allway's end up with 27 when I add 2+2. did'nt you learn that from the Rolling Road.

Still think the hiden exhaust look's better.
