You could just debadge it. I bought my clio in storm grey with a colour coded "clio" on the rear and its barely noticeable, it might aswell not be there. If you did them a secondary colour (say yellow) then they would stand out better.

Thanks for all the comments. I think i'll just stick with exhaust air filter and focus more on the euro look of it at the moment then. Once im done with that i might look at an engine transplant or buying a 172.

I was thinking it may have been the bushes. The thing that made me think it was definatly the suspension was the way it happens. Im pretty sure its not the drive shaft as the noise only seems to come from the drivers side wheel area. Also the mechanic who fitted the coils checked it wouldnt...

Im 19, clean license and 2yrs no claims. I couldnt find anyone that did a cheap quote because it was a 2.0L. What have you done to the K4M to give it that performance?

True, french cars aren't known for their reliability. Does stripping a car really do that much though?

Dont like 106 Gti's, heard they are unreliable too. True engine swap does put more on insurance, its not that i couldnt afford it, i just cant justify paying 1.8k-2.0k on insurance. And i'd definatly do it all legit with the log book etc. It is tempting to do it, even for the small gain of...

You didnt know my Zetec-S, was breaking every 5mins lol. The "possible gains of upto" figures are from all stated from 1.4 models so... i dunno lol. Its 98bhp standard, if you go by the whole lose 1bhp per year then it has 94bhp

I had a 1.6 zetec S before hand and had plenty of fun in that. I just wanted to have a rapid 1.4 that could beat vts's etc. So.... engine swaps?

Ok, so whats the suggestions? Engine swap, if so what engine? K4M, 172/182?

Im just going by the figures ive read. I did say in the previous post i dont want to go for a larger engine i'd rather stick with the 1.4. I cant afford insurance on a 172/182 hence why i didnt buy one. What do you think the increase would be with those 4 parts then?

Ok im going to sound like a complete n00b. I have a 1.4 16v mk2 ph2 clio and i want more power. Im going to do the basics. Pipercross venom induction kit. KTR Stealth mild steel exhaust system. ECU remap. 4-2-1 Manifold. The above should put the car from 98bhp standard to estimated...

I was wondering if anyone else has had problems with their suspension knocking? I had coilovers fitted about 1 month ago now and for the first 2-3 weeks it was fine... but then the knocking started. I took it back to my mechanic and he tightened everything up and said it all seems fine. I...
