Unless someone can tell me otherwise I see no reason why the RS leather/alcantara seats wouldn't just bolt straight in. You could put on a set of 172 wheels they aren't that expensive to buy. The trouble with the bumper is that it's obvious in the difference between a non RS Clio.

If it helps, nearly three months ago I bought a 2003 Iceberg Silver 172 for £2300 with 54K on the clock. I had to get the belts done mind and a couple of tyres. I'd say (I might be wrong) you don't want to be paying more than £2700 for that.

I upgraded mine to 8gb RAM (from 2gb) and put a 250gb SSD in. I also upgraded to Mountain Lion. Absolutely flies now. We did have to buy cloning software which was about £30 but it did make the process completely painless.

My fiancee and lodger both have a Nexus 7. They love it and take it everywhere. It seems to be a pretty good device to be fair and it's good value too. I've got an iPad myself which I'm happy with.

Lovely paint work, horrible car. :)

I think you'll have to wait a very long time before you see any return even though it's a great car. You may see some increase but on balance it's not worth the wait. There are very few cars that realise a higher value. I have an AE86 which is in excellent condition for it's age. I will be...

Oxygen sensor not working is a common reason for poor fuel consumption.

Autotrader is a great app, better than using the web based one, I find.

On a 2 grand car, it's not worth the money. Cheap coilovers are crap. I hear that stock dampers are not that expensive. Why not refresh the suspension? If your's is tired it will make the world of difference. I've got an 03 172. I love it. But I'm not going to spend any unnecessary money on...

This place does the adaptors to make the steering controls work: http://www.connects2.co.uk/ I got one off a friend who sold his 182. Despite emails to the company that make it, it doesn't appear to work! But, I probably need an additional adaptor.

A tad optimistic perhaps with the power figures, but really surely it's better to get an EK9, ie the Type-R?

Also with a Cat C, it's worth knowing how old the car was when it had the accident. If it was less than two years old, it was probably quite a lot of damage. Obviously when a car get's older it would be written off more easily. You take your chances I guess.

Touch and bargepole come to mind.

JP exhausts in Macclesfield. These guys will make an exhaust to your spec, the quality is excellent and you get a lifetime guarrantee. I wouldn't go anywhere else. http://www.jpexhausts.co.uk/ I've also had them do repairs on various systems I've had. They have put in extra supports and the...
