Post 3 :wink: Once the car is jacked up, hold the wheel in the fitting position (180° either side) and wiggle it up and down/side to side and see which one has play.
Pretty sure 519 once charged me £80 for a bearing replacement. That included part and labour. That was on the rear before I know...
You should remove the lower plate and paint it. Being mild steel it'll rust at the first sight of water.
Cage looks good. Looks black until you get the light on it.
99% certain that's a wheel bearing. Best way to tell is to jack the car up and check for play on each wheel. I know you probably not in a position to do so atm though.
You will be fine. I drove from Essex to the Isle of Wight and around for a week, then drove home and waited another week before...
Have a look in this thread as I posted some pics of how mine sits on the above spacer sizes.

For the oem look I'd be going 20mm fronts,10mm rears.
Wheel spacers for the fronts, hub spacers fro the rears.
25mm looks too much in my opinion where as 20mm has a small tuck giving it the oem look.
Im calling it now.....
You will want more than a stage one!
This will be for sale again within 6 months!
I do like these and if i ever did leave the clios then these would be a strong contender. Nice buy Dan :)
Also regarding engine mounts, these are the cheapest i could find:

I have this one on mine and has been fine...
Pics with spacers and silver wheels. Car is on BC coilovers and has 20mm front wheel spacers and 10mm rear hub spacers:
As i said, i personally think silver looks the best. You cant beat a bit of OEM/OEM+ and silver will always look clean and fresh.
I'll post up a few in a mo.
As for engine mounts, get a kangoo one for £25. Same fitment as the sport but slightly stiffer (apparently) and over half the price.
