Forget the whiteline
I'd be looking at new wishbones, new top mounts, new ARB oem bushes. Also rear axle bushes, but that's quite a big job, but always get ignored. Unfortunately, £100 wont cover that lot, but with new dampers and springs and a re track it'll feel like new.
TBH its a waste of money.
You'd have been better starting off with a R26 Megane maybe. Clios are big moneypits if chasing BHP. The way I look at it is they are good out the box at what they do, B roads. They aren't a drag car,and unless spending proper money they never will be.
It isnt!
I'd have one, only real issue i have is colour, RB is a bit ghey for a bloke imo, and Inferno is brown 99% of the time in UK. Other than that cracking motor!
Or a loaded 197 with all the options. Dont really get the CS fascination with R27's, a standard 197 can be specced the same as a R27, and you cant get a R27 in White ;)
Also early 197 gearboxes are fine, they just rev a bit higher in 5th/6th. No other component changes.
