Hi all

I'm new here

I'm in the process of selling my racing blue 182 and I'm looking to get a Clio Williams Dimma.

I know these are hard to come by and have been told that only 6 or so exist.

Does anyone know of any for sale?

Thanks
Gem

they dont make them do they?

if u do find one, then its only cuz the owner has put the kit on themselves

they had a limited run of the dimma - but i think it was a F7P 1.8 engine, but the only 'Renault made' williams were the standard shape F7R 2.0 engine

Oh right I didnt know that, its just I found one on pistonheads and I was wondering if there were any more out there.

I want a williams 3 but I just wanted that little extra and I love the look of the maxi and dimma clios :)

nah thats a home made special, he has brought the kit off the shelf and has had it professionaly fitted

still...looks v nice tho, but its not 'orginal' and you wont find a williams dimma unless its been 'home made'

there has been a few orginal dimmas pop up on ebay 1.8's and the odd replica...but only way to buy one of them is to either find an orginal dimma that been converted to a 2.0

or

that one :D

Thanks for that I've emailed him, just waiting to see what sort of mileage it has too. Considering he hasnt stated it Im guessing its high.

I'll let u know what he says about the plaques too :)

as long as a clio engine is well maintained they can live for ages! And he has stated he looks after his cars, he is a renault enthusiast by the looks of things, so i wouldnt let the milage put u off

even if its 143k, i wouldnt worry, wait till u drive it and then see what the oil pressure is etc

Andyvalvers naples 16v is on over 150 and can still wipe the floor with most cars

check out the driving tales section, he races every fookah, inc pensioners in their mondeos's :wink:

i love the dimma's they do look the nutts :)

was a couple on ebay over the last year or so, none of them reached over 2k tho, one didnt have an engine tho so...

Also one of the lads in sheff has a 1.4 dimma knocking about i think he paid like 1800 quid for it or somthingm so thats a bit of a price to go by :)

yes - they did make a williams dimma. Think it was numbered in the high 300's

Most of them were valver hybrids though.
