:cry: it's a front ender at 30mph. What he's told me is he stuck the blowers on, didnt know the road was going to pull over when he was going into a round about in 3rd (when engine was cold so keeping under 2,500rpm) knew he was going to make the round about started locking up and darted down a side exit...unfortunitly there was a cop coming out at the same time so he hit the cop car head on :cry:

Hoping that you guys may know of a Clio 16v that we can use to transfer most of the bits from....I havent seen the car yet but im hoping the engine and gearbox is reuseable. So if you know of a clio with damage to rear bumper, hanging interior, broken gearbox/engine please let us know. Here is the pictures of the Clio before he hit it...

Was close to mint guys :( I would have had first dibs on it if he sold it. Modifications, 35mm PI Lowering springs at front, standard rear bar....Had standard springs to put on too! Sucks

Will be viewing the clio shortly...

Its abit upsetting having driven this car around for a good week or so previously, I can say it was one of the most up together 16v's I know of. I guess everything happens for a reason?¿ Not sure what that reason was but hey, at least it took out the 5.0 I guess!

It's real bad. The engine looks good although the brand new alternator look completely useless :cry: Damn shame

Should have been in a more responsive gear...

How can you "loose it" going around a round-a-bout at 30mph... i just dont get it!

Sorry to see another one bite the dust! That looked a brillient example.

I'm not sure...From what he said the roundabout use to be a T-Junction so the roundabout was one of those stupidly small ones where you can't do a U-Turn very easily without swingin out wide if you know what i mean?

I have done that as a better idea. Blue is 16v, yellow is copy...The road above is a tight back alley type road he was aiming for....He hit the cop car on the passenger front side with the renault badge on the clio ;) may be easier to understand?

damn shame about that. never really thought much of 16v's, bit of a poor mans williams. but must confess that looked a beautiful example. well looked after, its a shame to see it end. oh well like sumone earlier siad, happens for a reason. not expensive cars, so you can always get another one. or maybe ull prefer sumthing different. in any case, sorry for ur loss mate. i know theyre only cars, but they do become friends to an extent. u go through quite a bit with them.
little clio aint afraid of no cop car :) go clio!
