It needs a bigger Monster sticker.

^ Those are ideal, that would save you having to make a cut in the standard ones.

The reason you can't get it to sit in the headlight, is because the metal clip is what holds it in place, so it needs to go round the HID bulb. Obviously the plugs etc are too big to go through the metal clip, so you need to make a cut in it, open up it up a little and wrap it around the base of...

Thanks again folks! Pm coming your way ;) Cheers, I do still have them but I'm gonna keep them for when I eventually sell, and the speedlines are probably going to go a different colour come summer so I'll need them again to run around on.

That metal clip is the bit that holds the standard headlight in place, the plastic gubbins that it's usually attached to are nothing more than a handle. You need to actually cut the metal clip, open it up without bending it out of shape too much, then wrap it around the base of the bulb. Then...

That metal clip you mentioned - you need to separate it from the black plastic bit for the standard bulbs, make a small cut in it, wrap it around the HID bulb and use that to sit it in place.

As long as they're set up at the correct height yes, you should have it checked when fitting new headlights anyway. People will tell you that you also need washers/self levelers but from what I gather they're only required to work if fitted, if they're not there they can't test them, similar to...

Throw an HID kit into the projectors and you'll have loads more light. Looks good too.

Bought the caps for them, something ridiculous like 18 quid a pop too.

Cheers again folks, makes freezing my balls off to clean it worthwhile LOL

Proper spec. Projectors are a must on 200s IMO.

^ Back when it was built they were the "in" thing. I remember reading the Fast Car feature on it well before I could drive, got to have been built a good 6 years ago at least.

I'd be shitting myself that it was going to put its hoof through my windscreen.

Needs a lot more time to bed in. Mine is now on just over 15k and is noticeably quicker than it was on 2K, but still has a long way to go, it will only get quicker as the mileage creeps up. You'll just need to find some curvier roads for it to impress you for now, they're leagues ahead of the...

Thanks again for the comments folks! Nothing too complicated, from memory: 2 or 4 bolts along the bottom of the bumper underneath 2 bolts at the corners where it meets the wings, don't even need to remove the arch liners to get at these as long as you have a ratchet spanner 2 or 4 clips...

Thanks all! I agree, Scottish weather + phone camera = washed out colour unfortunately. Indeed, 6000K 35W, had it in a year now :) Cheers, it had the standard 200 wheels sprayed gloss black, they were also cup spec anthracite before that too. Lols @ the boaby tapp'd chat, can only be a...

Been working a lot of mad hours at work recently, and decided to use some overtime money to treat myself to an early Christmas present last month. One phone call to Renault parts, and 2 days later these beauties showed up at my work: Got the tyres swapped over that weekend, but it's taken...

The bird that's usually on my local Mcd's drive thru always knows it's my car coming, although thats more to do with my reg plate/the fact I played hide the sausage with her on the back seat of it.

It's not something I'd have, but it's your motor so keep it if you like it. This may give you a few lols on the subject: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?612083-quot-Neverbeen-quot

Is it a neverbeen sticker?

I'd expect most insurance companies would apply some common sense/decency if your car was stolen from somewhere you were visiting/holidaying and it wasn't in a garage, although on the other hand I think legally they'd still be within their rights to refuse to pay out. Not entirely sure though.

NEVER declare it as in a garage unless it's parked in a garage overnight every single night. If it's sitting on the driveway or on the street overnight and gets stolen, there's a good chance insurance will tell you to f**k off.

Bit early in the winter for proper dirt yet. I will have the 200 looking like this at some point though: [/IMG]

I've had a 35w kit in my projectors for a year and had no problems, few others have done as well :)

The projector lights are H1 fitment for the dipped beam. As for the Ipod stuff, you need a cable which runs from the headphone jack on your phone/Ipod to the white and red inputs in the dash, not sure the proper name for it but they're available in pretty much every electrical store/Halfords...

Ah right, touch ups usually catch your eye on gloss finishes obviously due to the reflection being different at that spot. No reflection on matt finishes should make it blend in a little more.

About the same as any other. You're still going to see it's been touched up, but you might get away with it more with there being no real finish to the paint. What is it you want to touch up?

First things first, if it's a 172, it's not Black Gold I'm afraid. Pearl Black is the colour you're looking for.

Looks w**k.

70mm at least before you'll even begin to get stuck/scrape anywhere. Even with a full car.
