Jill and I saw the "model" of the new Ibiza Cupra R at the motorshow last year. As Jill will testify too, i was VERY excited about its release, as the model looked absolutely phenominal. I have to say, im disappointed in the real life version. For starters its about 1/2 the width of the model...

Excellent Ben, thats the sort of thing i was thinking - might have to get her one of those! Whats the insurance like?

5" twin cans are pretty popular at the moment, but the most notable one severnside have done is Toms. Black, wide-arched, absolutely phenominal wing on it? If thats the one your talking about, sadly its no more :(

Yes Rob, they are Oxigin 1s. 7.5x17s with ample clearance - im amazed you didnt pick out the severnside graphics in light of this thread - but agreed, the wing is dodgy hehe! The graphics are jsut some advertising for a friends tuning company.

Scott - the missus lives in MK, im further down the M1 in Chalton, Beds. If your in/around MK, you might have seen mine around. http://www.phiberoptic.net/l3vtr/newwheels/2.jpg http://www.phiberoptic.net/l3vtr/newwheels/3.jpg

Lol, im not going to rise to that :) Ill just say that i dont wear jewellery, and dont own anything made by burberry. Or any caps in general. JillyB knows me in real life, shell tell you im nothing of the sort. Having said that, shell probably tell you im worse, hehe. Im not really into the...

I was part hoping someone was going to say "it was a 1.4RT" for the missus sake, and part hoping for "it was a 1.8" for my own saving face ;) My car looks alright, but its in no way shape or form fast - handles well enough though.

8 Seconds 0-60 sounds too fast for this particular car - as i was in a standard engined MK2 VTR on 17s, and it was only creeping away from me once we hit 70 (KPH occifer!). By GTT, do you mean from an R5? I dont think it was, didnt hear anything that suggested it was a turbo, and as i said it...

Afternoon babe :D It would appear that im not! The reason i ask, is that i had a run-in with a standard-ish looking clio the other night just outside Milton Keynes. The only thing i could see non-standard was a backbox - but nothing special. Damn thing just kept holding me off, then slowly...

The 1.8 (8v) sounds like the one im interested in - what sort of power / performance figures does that have?

Hi guys n girls. Apologies for the somewhat provocative title, i just wanted your attention! Hey, it worked didnt it! ;) Anyway, now that your here - i have some fairly simple questions - what engines did the older style Clios come with? I know there was a 1.4, 1.8, and the Williams - where...
