That works. That works very nicely.
That's a bit of a shame about the aerofoil, a nice big surf board would have completed the look of this care nicely! I think a V6 spoiler could be the way to go, in that case.
Needs a V6/Trophy spoiler.;)
Love this car, and love that it's getting used in anger.
Any mention of some extra engine work to turn it into a ballistic missile?
2003 Iceberg 172 - 109k - see here!
No service history prior to my ownership.
Belts done by RenTech Portsmouth at 84k, along with dephaser and water pump.
Had a sump leak which has been sealed, still a few leaks from the rocker.
Fully serviced every March.
Tax til April 15, MOT til Nov 2014...
Bought the 170 piece set for £125, down from £250!
I really like the Halfords Advanced stuff, it's not quite as nice as Snap-On obviously, but lifetime warranty more than makes up for it.
Part value is ~£450 + VAT, but yeah, insurance excess is £75.
They repair chips and some cracks, but this was too big it was beyond repair, second time in a year or so...
Not wrong at all in my opinion, I was actually quite glad to get a new screen. Fresh screen with not a smear or blemish in...
A quick update, nothing major.
A while back I bought a rear strut brace. Because I could. A lot of people say they don't do anything, I beg to differ.
I use it to hold my shopping in place so when I hoof it back home with my chilled goods they don't go everywhere.
Next up, I realised my...
The oil puddle after it sat was remarkably small.
I can only assume that's because most of on the back of yours and the front of mine?
Quite a brutal bump and it tagged my new splitter too :(
Hope it's all OK when you've got it sorted.

Rude not to when it's on the way home from work...
So the steering wheel was a wreck...
So that went.
And I got non-bus sized OMP.
One issue however, not sure if I've buggered something but the ABS light and service light are on (airbag too, but resistors are in the post and I couldn't wait). I've read about issues caused by the squib...
Took the car down to Dan@SJM today who very kindly fitted all the front end goodies I bought last November!
New wishbones with Powerflex Black Series bushes
Track Rods + Ends
Powerflex ARB bushes
OEM steering rack bushes
New O/S/F ABS reluctor ring
Bump stop/dust covers
Drove so well on the...
Based on what people have said, I'd say the PMS is great for track but the rattles are too much for a daily. Not tried one myself though.
The Yanoo kit is a great setup and works well on the road with no compromises. Probably couldn't own another Clio without one.
Can 100% recommend the Piper exhaust, the fit and finish is immaculate, sound is by far my favorite (except maybe the Yozza). With a cat it's very sedate on the motorway and sounds epic when hammering through the gears.
