Snap, although they were only fixing Recaro seats in mine when the stealers did it so they didn't actually have to drive it anywhere to 'test' those. I did laugh though when they'd left their classical CD in there and couldn't find out who'd taken it out even from looking at their comprehensive...

Very nice, Mel. Looks in good condition.

Lots of things will cause your quote to be more, postcode being one of them.

You can't really compare one Clio against another owners. I've found this with both sports I've owned, and from reading comments on the 200 this is the same. I did find with my R27, however, that the more miles it got on it the more economic it became, but that is also down to my driving style...

I don't understand why you didn't complain at the time? You've had it fixed by your regular garage now, I assume - but to get anywhere in terms of consumer rights you have to have given those who carried out the original work a chance to correct it. If you haven't had it fixed, take it back...

Know anyone local to you who is handy with a machine polisher? They might be able to cut that back a bit. Although if it's down to the primer it'll need a touch up, but it's worth a go before investigating the repair bill.

Why can't younguns just aspire to having a more powerful car when they've got a few years of driving under their belts? I had my 1.2 for 4 years (17 to 21), then moved up to a 197 - and I'm pleased I did because I appreciated it much more when I got it and I was earning substantially more to be...

I think the lifetime warranty is only valid for the first owner - after that zero warranty. Or at least that's how their adverts seem to read.

I miss my R27. :dapprove: Looks lovely. Mine had pov spec lights, xenons are so much better but it's not a deal breaker. Enjoy it.

LOL - you setting up a date there, Geddes? Ha. I often see a LY on the A1 early mornings about 5.45am if I've dropped the boy off at the airport. No idea whether it's you but welcome along anyway.

Yours was like that 90% of meets when you had the rep, Sam. LOL! <3

Oh dear. Beaten. LOL. Damn street racers. I think Ben's post about it depends how big your balls are is completely true, and it's 100% down to your driving capability. As Gal said earlier on, you can have fun in your car without breaking speed limits or risking your life; granted that isn't...

I'd like to know what the white van did in this incident, and how it came out. I'd imagine it didn't end up in a ditch.

Fuel is down to how you drive it, Will. Sensible driving in my old R27 saw me getting 33 mpg - same as my 182 now. Motorway 36mpg. They're very thirsty for their first 15k miles I'd say, after that mine got better and better. There are some low milers still out there but I'd be tempted by one...
