Safetyman Posted 17, January 2015 Author Report Share Posted 17, January 2015 Liquid Gold. I'm just guessing that's the acronym that everybody seems to be using for Liquid Gold. Initially had me wondering what the hell a Korean electronics manufacturer had to do with our cars. Aside from the MediaNav. Oh Crap... Just realised, it's Liquid Yellow. And now I can't edit the name of the topic. What a dumb a***! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stng.renault Posted 18, January 2015 Report Share Posted 18, January 2015 Beautiful! I want to get a Clio for my wife so I can have one. Apparently, owning an RS265 and a Clio for myself is not reasonable Go figure! Welcome to the fold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safetyman Posted 18, January 2015 Author Report Share Posted 18, January 2015 Thanks for the welcome! And it must be a chick thing. I just showed my wife and she thought it wasn't reasonable too. Me, I think for practicality reasons it would be best to have both, as some car spaces in the city can be very tight so it's best practice to have the right tool for the job.

Safetyman Posted 17, February 2015 Author Report Share Posted 17, February 2015 I was asked the question yesterday and not sure if I answered about what have I owned so far. In starting order: 1979 KE55 corolla - first car and first stereo VL commodore - biggest stereo and cut off Springs that would fall out over large potholes Hyundai excel - first new car and first track car. Don't scoff, it was happily lapping Wakefield in 1.17. 1989 Mazda MX5 - my first real track car which spent almost every weekend for a year at supersprints. Had a towbar and trailer for my jack and track wheels. Toyota RAV4 - grumpy girlfriend didn't like the MX. Nuff said! 1998 Mazda MX5- ended up supercharged. Bloody awesome!! (girlfriend dumped) 1993 Subaru liberty wagon - converted it myself to an RS after buying an imported front cut. Wife didn't like the fuel consumption so it went. Nissan bluebird, Suzuki grand vital xl7, VW golf, Honda integra, Honda accord euro - all during daddy day care period. Quiet time. VW Polo tdi - quick little tractor VW Polo GTI - needed a petrol car Skoda Octavia VRS - still have her, awesome car. Best all rounder. Ever. Clio IV RS - Rocky back to my smile as I drive days. That covers my personal cars. Work wise: Hilux Ute's, land cruisers, Nissan patrols, Mitsubishi pajeros, Holden rodeos, Holden commodore v6/8, falcon 6/v8, Toyota camry (4/v6/hybrid), prius, tarago, Kluger, Calais, caprice, Subaru tribeca, forester, VW passat, multivan and currently in a VW cc which I should still be in for another 2 years.

Safetyman Posted 18, February 2015 Author Report Share Posted 18, February 2015 Girlfriend went. Black MX arrived and hooked the new girlfriend who went on to become the wife. I built the liberty so she could keep up on club runs with the kids. Fuel bill arrived.....Twice weekly.... Liberty went. Wife stayed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockArd Posted 19, February 2015 Report Share Posted 19, February 2015 I didn't think the 18" anthracite rims were an option? Did you upgrade them on a sport or change them from the black on a Cup? Either way, that's the combo im after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenus Posted 19, February 2015 Report Share Posted 19, February 2015 +1 those anthracite wheels look tits. I've been wondering if the anthracite would look alright on the stock 17's of the clio... Nice car too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safetyman Posted 19, February 2015 Author Report Share Posted 19, February 2015 I didn't think the 18" anthracite rims were an option? Did you upgrade them on a sport or change them from the black on a Cup? I upgraded them onto my Sport. I wanted the ride to be halfway between the Sport and the Cup. +1 those anthracite wheels look tits. I've been wondering if the anthracite would look alright on the stock 17's of the clio... I agree there. I think the colour is better matched with the other grey accents that are on the car (lower door trims, front and rear splitter). Seeing as the LY gets the black door handles I just thought it was overly black. Needed some contrast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hsantos Posted 22, February 2015 Report Share Posted 22, February 2015 How much did it cost you for the upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safetyman Posted 22, February 2015 Author Report Share Posted 22, February 2015 $750. Why wouldn't you?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hsantos Posted 22, February 2015 Report Share Posted 22, February 2015 Wow! Thats a bargain mate! Looks better than the glossy black.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onpole01 Posted 22, February 2015 Report Share Posted 22, February 2015 Bargain! IMO they'd probably sell more sports if you could option 18s but in their defence I can see why keeping them for the cup only makes sense too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
