in my experience I believe so, with my old clio putting budget tyres on lost me 4mpg, same conditions elseware. its a bit like saying do tyres make a difference to grip

I am looking at getting myself some new tyres all round and have seen these http://www.camskill.co.uk/m62b0s94p111617/Uniroyal_Tyres_Car_Uniroyal_RainSport3_Uniroyal_Rain_Sport_3_-_195_45_R16_84V_XL_FR_TL_Fuel_Eff_%3A_C_Wet_Grip%3A_A_NoiseClass%3A_2_Noise%3A_72dB anyone ever tried them? quite...

Today I had a play with some headlight restorer, seems to have done the trick and another bullet design! not keen though I have a couple of things on order which I am quite excited for too ;)

Looked further into this and have decided that Vinyl wrapping is the way forward, materials are not to expensive and I have things like a heat gun and that already

I am the only person who uses a steering wheel cover?

my exact thoughts! 7.5k rev limit makes up for it though

Had a little bit of a play with some vinyl and a heat gun the other day and my bullets were the victims! not sure which look to go for!

Looks good! I think the exhaust doesn't look too bad to be honest.. although those 106's.. moretts are too overrated and I don't like them haha

another case of cheap price = poor quality? many stories out there of them over spraying the acid

Intercooler just for show ;)

I could try do a panel with wrap, would be cheaper but would require much skill!

I like the idea of not having to mask off as over spray just rubs off :)

Hm, this is true.. I know they do glossifiers though

its images like that that puts me off, just looks like its been poorly painted

Has anyone done this to a clio? what does it look like? I want to try do it myself, does anyone know how easy it is? I have seen kits including the spray gun that appeal but don't know if to take the plunge or if it will be something that will end up in storage gathering dust. I like the idea...

Reading what I put it would read like that, but I mean the going back to the streetka I realised how quick the 172 is. the streetka is only 95bhp.. but its full of torque at low revs

I have noticed my lower front grill is not clipped in fully at the bottom, it will go in if held but pops straight back out, how do I get round this??

Remaped using the RST today.. went quite smoothly, I was concerned as I didnt have a battery charger to hand but the battery was reading healthy so I took the risk and backed up the ECU and CAL then went about writing the new ECU and CAL provided by Fastchip.. I used the Performance analyzer...

What a disaster the last few days have been! hit a pothole on Tuesday night and got a flat tyre, fortunately I was like minutes from home so I limped carefully home. then I set about changing my wheel for the spare. my first problem was that there was no bolt cover unlocking key! the wife's...

Got myself a tough set of sockets and Figured out there is nuts on the otherside!! going to try get at them when I can! although for now the exhaust is being held tight with clips. on another note thought, today I bought a RStuner from Fastchip.nl :D although.. now what, do I get the Ron 98 map...

Ah your 24, that'll be why the halfords stuff doesnt appeal, that tends to be the 17-19year olds, I think standard mirrors look fine, and some 182 alloys would look nice ;) not sure on fitment to a phase 1 though, would have thought its still 4x100

best way is to draw a line where you want the gap, dril small holes just below the line like a dot to dot then using a jig saw just join the holes, then sand to smooth. take it easy with the jigsaw tho, have somebody else hold the bumper tight or the jigsaw will just pull it back and forth. then...

+1 mine is great on long runs, very quick. but to start with on cold mornings it just feels a bit slugish and lumpy

as its your first car I think you should go crazy at halfords just to get it out of your system :) really though, dont keep the wheels or mirrors they look shocking

Osram Night breakers 100% without going HID, dont go cheap with headlights, been there and regreted it big time

Attempted to removed the bolts from the exhaust mount, and failed! its such a simple job but I am not getting anywhere with it!

Thats 30mpg, could just be down to how you drive.

due a timing belt change?

Looks smart, apart from the exhaust :)
