That was a very unlike scenario mate, if you look earlier on in the thread, I already said that a Decat is illegal

I believe so

Talking of decats, one has just been put in the parts for sale bit, a miltek one for £60 I think they make the clio's sound toilet, imho

They the ones that are more jap specialists? Evo's, imprezas and that? Means I have to wait a few years unfortunately. Might be worth Joe giving them a call just to see their stance on it, I am with greenlight and the don't cover de cats at all but the do do all mods like for like and free...

Seems reasonable to me, put my name down when you get round to it ;)

Wow, fair enough. Did they charge any extra for having a de cat?

IF your insurance company allow it and you have a valid MOT but you took the CAT off after the MOT... then this surely would be ok? Technically you can plead innocent to the whole thing and say you didn't know but at the end of the day, if you fail a roadside emission test, I would of thought...

99.9999% insurance companies don't, that is the only one I have ever heard of, unless it is a diesel. Then de-cats are fine I would double check it personally and get something in writing, if the police pulled you over and you had a de cat, I would think they would do something about it. It...

Plastidip the front badge, much more simple :)

Illegal, unless it is on pre 1992 cars I think and some jap imports... But yer illegal for us :D

+1 unfortunately

Saying that, I have a massive soft spot for the focus rs recaros ;)

I think the recaros are nice enough for the price of the clios, wouldnt say a load of cr*p and the whole 325 bhp thing, thats pretty much a common thing now as they are so easy to modify to that, they can go straight to 300 bhp with a map and intercooler both the clio and the focus are good...

If these go well, what sort of price are you looking at selling them for? Or have you not thought about that yet?

Got a few photos with a decent camera

+1 197 ones do look good! You can also get a snappy retrim

hmm suppose, thought about it after that post and they are low to the ground so with the right stuff they dont tend to roll do they.

How much did that set you back Don?

Welcome to the club, I was looking at a 172 in the same colour but ended up with a flamer :D Good choice and well rescued.

quality pictures! The one with the silver mx5 in it, i notice the roof was down, bit brave isn't it?

Get a loan, maybe from a relative, bite the bullet, get it fixed and you will be happy :D Sucks to start with (cost wise) but I can't imagine the guy is going to say 'ye no problem, let me take that back' Sounds blunt but private sales, you are always at this risk unfortunately, as earlier...

That debobbler looks like a very good investment, may have to go and pick one up this evening!! nice job.

impressive..!

that retractable plate looks awesome!!! Would be great for average speed cameras ;)

Love the colour mate!! :D

oooo dammnn! Ouch, sorry to see that dude!!

PLANNING? I do that already As much as I wish that were true, I haven't got the bottle to do that sort of driving, nor the money for fines and replacement parts haha

:) as long as I am not boring people haha sooooo searched top mounts there, there look like they would be the nuts on my flamer, what you think? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clio-172-182-bolt-in-solid-top-mount-/321400910801?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4ad4fcb3d1

cool, ok well I am sure I have bored you enough with my lack of knowledge on this subject ;) so I will have a search, order a few bits and go from there. Cheers for all the help matey, much appreciated. TK

Well the only reason I was looking into upgrading the suspension was due to a squeak that leads me to thinking it is a bush. Done a little research and it seems to have the symptoms. I am also led to believe that the bush is a bit of a full on job to do so figured, whilst I am there, I can get...
