Similar, these are threaded on the part that goes through the hub. Some places list the wrong ones....... I have 2 that I think are space ones here now. With a notch in the side?
I've seen the ones that look like a big G clamp, I'd be tempted if I was doing them regularly.

Pretty basic one today, found 5 min to change the pollen filter. It was pretty rank tbh
Here's a quick video showing where it is and how to change it

More upgrades incoming thanks to @Danith . He is selling up and going back to a boring German car so removed some bits from his car 
Nealy new Brembos and pms brackets, some budget pads but also some Mintex m1166 pads. Also included are some braided brake lines. A red RS start/stop button and some 17inch Tibors with MRF track tires.
Excited to get the brembos fitted

Urgh insurance renewal time. Has everyone else's jumped up again? Did the usual ring around as I thought my renewal quote was high, had one company telling me that I did too many mile (13k) on a modified daily car and that if I wanted it less than £700 id need to drop the millage near to 7K.... nearly all quotes coming in between 7 and 8. Rang back Brentacre, asked them to add a further 3 points on, expecting it to jump again to the 7-800 range and they still kept the renewal price at just over 500. So that's where we are at, another year of cover in the Clio

I take it that’s not with AF and with a specialist broker?

Insurance is so random it's just ridiculous. I pay around £300 for an 18 plate golf gti with 2 years no claims (my max no claims is on my van).

Yep, with Adrian Flux. Unfortunately they’re are the only broker I can use because it’s a specialist ADI policy and a modified car..!
I got my renewal for the clio last week and it's gone from £470 to £655. I need to ring up though because I've moved house, become single, don't use the car and have no dependants and all that makes a difference apparently. It'll still be far too much compared to the poogoat which cost me £700 with no no claims 'discount' where as the clio enjoys 8 years without body modifications. Robbing t***s.

Might as well chime in
I've gone from £930 with 1st Central online to £837 to 1st Central Premium with RAC, courtesy car and European breakdown coverage. f**k knows how because the next cheapest quote I had was £1600 and didn't include half the s**t I have on this policy🤣

My insurance has not really budged price wise on the modified stuff. All between £300-450 fully comp with greenlight.
The diesels are a pain in the arse to insure. Ive been with elephant for years as every time i shop round the quotes get ridiculous for what they are.

It was Greenlight who gave me the spin of too many miles on a modified vehicle, its my daily so not sure what I can do about that... 🤷♂️ Im not sure if im being just tight, we have 3 cars insured for about 1k, maybe im moaning for nowt? The Clio at £545, the Fabia tsi vrs for around £250 and the R8 comes in at a shave over £100.

I'm not a big fan of Greenlight. I've used them a few times but when you ring them, it always seems like I should be honoured they're speaking to me.

Subscribed mate! I don't even have a mk4 clio but if it helps in anyway it's always a bonus

They couldn't match what I was already quoted though i did try them.
"I have looked at the information supplied and whilst we would like to provide you insurance for your vehicle, the premium you have quoted is particularly competitive and on this occasion we are unfortunately unable to match it at this time"
2 x sp30s no claims no convictions. 3 cars in the house and 10+ ncb on the main car.

I thought insurance prices had dropped recently. I was paying around £600+ for a E91 325d, and around £300 for my Z4 last year.
Renewal for the Z4 this year was just over £200 in July, and my 130i was £220 last week. Both with Aviva, with max NCB.
My wife's diesel CMax was around £350, which makes no sense to me. She's got pretty much max NCB too from memory.

Car is still doing the business on the daily commute. Decided to order up some mk5 RS (line) seats. They aren't a million miles off from fitting. My drivers seat is showing its age a little, 2015 and over 100k on them, these seats were from a 2023 car so should have some decent life left in them. The colour matches, just need to wrap them up to fit properly. The runners on them are longer than the mk4 items, so I may just make the mk4 runners fit the mk5 seats
Also bit the bullet on some compbrake top mounts, fingers crossed I get them here for the Christmas break so I can get them on too

I actually have a set of mk4 meg RS Lines seats too, they were miles off fitting but are the same as the RS seats just in a different colour. If Ren made a MK5 RS they would have probably been these seats in there. They even have a little Renault Sport tags in yellow on the sides
Just the front for now, rears im not fussed about tbh

I've also been toying with the colour of the side stripes on the car. Managed to get a great colour match vinyl. Threw some on to see what I thought. Another thing on the Christmas break list is to remove them from the car and wrap them properly/better
