Does the new style badge fit into the original Clio badge clip holes?

I fear that these replies maybe confusing you, so to confirm, there are 3 different specs for a 182, excluding the Trophy. I suspect you know anyway..... 182 Cup - poverty spec, cheaper interior, no xenons etc. 182 - nicknamed Full fat, but never sold as such. Better interior, xenons, headlight...

Not sure I'm with you? My question is; is a Megane 230 worth twice as much as a similar mileage 182. More space, more performance, better built, but it doesn't feel that one is worth twice what mine is to me. It's a rhetorical question really, because everyone would have a different opinion. I...

Who said there was??

What did you get instead though, are you really better off? ...and why do the Clios seemed to have dropped so much, so quickly? Is it just typical of French cars getting to a certain age? the reputation means they drop much more than the German and Japanese stuff?

I have owned my 185 for 4 years now. I still love it. With a 1 year old girl, the boot space is tight at times, other than that there is no reason to sell. My family keep telling me to get a bigger car, to make it easier with the little one. Problem is, I can't bring myself to sell the Clio for...

Neither coilovers or spacers are your solution. Coilovers could reduce your arch gap but that is an expensive way to work around a simpler problem. What tyre size have you got? I have gone down to 15"s but don't have the same arch gap. The reason? I bought tyres that would give me the same...

Really?? well, that would defy physics - and common sense - so LOL back at yah! You replace something made of rubber, with shock absorbing qualities, with something solid. Why do you think solid top mounts change the steering feel, and 'sharpen it up' like people say. They merely remove that...

If you introduce more air into the wheel arch, you will have more turbulent air in there, thereby increasing drag. Without some form of arch ducting, then you will theoretically increase front end lift, however, you'll never feel it at the speeds you will ever experience, it might start having...

I am getting fed up with mine because of the crashy ride. Problem is, they've been on a few years and I can't remember what the feel is like on the original rubber mounts.......

Out of stock EVERYWHERE. Tried Essex, Camskill, Black Circles etc. Uniroyals have no stock and no stock date, not sure what they are doing but I can't wait. Now, what should be 2nd choice?

Cheers Guys. I was thinking 205's not 195's, that seems to be making it more difficult!

I have a lovely set of refurbed 15" Superleggeras waiting for some rubber, settled on getting some Uniroyal Rainsport 2's but can't find stock anywhere. Any tips? Tried all the normal online cuplrits and no joy!

With no MOT, that is top money. I wouldn't go near it until it had a ticket on it, because you don't know how much work is still needed. Always suspicious why an owner doesn't get it finished themselves.

It's not the width that I'm worried about, especially as the ET on the alloys is 37. It's the fact that the sidewall on a 195/50 is less than on a 205/50, so will fill the arches less
