New Member Clio Gordini in Perth

Recommended Posts

Hi Fellas,

Finally signed up and been a Clio Gordini owner for 1.5 years. Live in Perth WA. Clio is one of the best fun cars I've owned and funny enough has the lowest BHP  & torque compared to previous cars. Had 2 Golf GTI's previously and still own a Golf R Wolfsburg Wagon (Wife Drives that). The Clio get's under your skin way more...

Compete in Autokhana series in Perth called Red Mist. The Clio can rub shoulders with the best on the 160mtr skid pan. Taken the Clio on barbs are few times before and going to the Renault Perth Track Day at Barbs Dec 19.

Good friend of mine just picked up a Angel & Demon in matt Red and has imported it from NSW. I think the Clio got under his skin too as he just had to have one!

Peace Out!

Philly.

Welcome and congratualtions! I assume you've a blue Gordini?

P.S. Tell your friend to have the driver door aligned again (if that wasn't done already). ;)

Thanks mate. It's a low KM blue Gordini with an akrapovic exhaust fitted by the previous owner.

Best colour for Gordinis in my opinion. I've an Akra Evo on mine also installed by the previous owner and it's awesome.

Seems your Gordini stripes could need a little refreshment. If you need help with sourcing some replacements in case you want to fix them just tell me.

Yeah that break in the bonnet strips is a blue triangle to show where the battery is for Motorsport. The Marshall puts them on every autokhana. 

the decals could use a new set but tried Australia dealers and ktec Uk, Reno parts direct Uk and no oem stickers to be found anywhere?

I'd slap the marshall if he'd dare to put the sticker directly on the stripe. That aside the ones on the roof also look a bit knackered.

I've contacted one of my sources. Lets see if he can organise a set. If not I'm going to ask the Frenchies.

Welcome mate! Gordini s are one of my fave Clios, blue or white, doesn’t matter to me. Both look 👍

I'm wondering if you're aware that they were also available in Deep Black, Ultra Red and Nimbus Grey? The latter two are very, very rare and could only be ordered in France I was told.

If there is any OEM white stripes kicking around in a warehouse somewhere I would be keen on some :)

He has a FB page. If you use Google Chrome, you can translate the website. Good to deal with

Just make sure they've the holograms and aren't only white stripes.

Just to let you know. My source is currently on vacation. So I won't get an answer from him for about the next two weeks. Tell me if you're sourcing from somewhere else in the meantime, please.

@Marsch I knew of the black cars but maybe not the other colours. Australia only received blue then white. 
 

I seem to recall a couple of cars having had the stripes replaced under warranty here, and the part cost was over $1K 🥴

@Phillyphil: I've got a message from our forum dealer. He thinks the replicas don't have the holograms. The originals cost about 610,- AUD but he can get them for about 535,- if you're interested. The problem is they're on backorder which means he can't give you an estimated delivery time. Are you interested?
