kheven Posted 21, August 2008 Report Share Posted 21, August 2008 Hi everyone! Found the site due to some costly repairs and needing some expert opinions. I'm a 25 years old Male, live in the outer south-east suburbs of Melbourne, and have a RenaultSport Clio 182 Cup Edition. Was purchased brand new in March 2006 from the then 'Oakleigh Euro' in the Chadstone area. I know this is going to sound lame, but the first time I sat in my car when it was on the showroom floor, i knew it was the car for me To this day, i've not had anything go wrong with the car at all...that I didn't cause myself. About three months after I bought the car, I was backing out of my garage. Next thing I hear was a really loud noise, with a kind of grinding sound. As a result of a faulty garage remote, the garage door had come down on top of my car. Because it made contact as I was backing out, it had left massive scratches, and a light warping of the roof. Luckily insurance covered it, because the roof needed to be replaced. Over the weekend, I'll try and put a post in the forum with details of the audio system I've had installed. Here are a couple of pics See you in the forums! Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITHELIVING Posted 22, August 2008 Report Share Posted 22, August 2008 Maybe even a triple take as he has serviced mine too. Welcome to the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kheven Posted 22, August 2008 Author Report Share Posted 22, August 2008 thanks everyone it's good to be here. I didn't pick up on a double-take from Colin... He did mention that he'd taken the Clio III out for a spin, and still favours the 172 as the best of the 3 most recent Clio Sport models.

kheven Posted 22, August 2008 Author Report Share Posted 22, August 2008 I'm good Matteo.
