It's french. If you stop one rattle it'll only rattle somewhere else. Long as it's not heard over your music in the car I wouldn't bother.

Looks pretty good the way it is, equal arch gap front and rear is what you want, looks like you're there already.

Love the ride height.

I needed at least a 10mm spacer to be safe on the fronts when I ran V-Maxx with 172 wheels on my 1.2. It depends on the coilover, the ride height and the camber.

Fiesta Zetec S? TBH I'd sacrifice speed if it meant not having to drive a C2, I'd die a little inside every time I had to change gear.

^ What gun you using? We've got a Snap On item at work and it's pretty fecking powerful tbf but I've still seen myself having to use a breaker bar to undo some wheel nuts.

Who's this Jamie character you speak of Danny? ;) Halfords, biggest breaker bar they've got, 19mm impact socket, and throw all your weight on it. Obviously while the car is still on the deck.

You need a bigger bar. Air gun will have no chance if jumping on a breaker bar isn't shifting them.

Kill them with fire!

LOL thanks. Anyway, I've no idea how 172 alloys are managing to rub on 40mm springs when mine didn't on 60mm. If it turns out they are however then the biggest spacer you can pretty much fit are 15mm each side, they won't rub off the bodywork on 40mm springs.

Just drive around with some purple sidelights on, it'll give out the same light and look just as crap as purple HIDs.

What wheels are they?

The front wheels can't rub on the inside as they'll hit the strut before they touch the arch liner. What wheels are they?

Told you no fogs looks hard :D

Well, if you do get it stripped down and it is confirm that the car is f*cked, I wouldn't be mentioning to the garage you bought it from that someone else has poked at it. Regardless of the legality of it all, you know for certain they'll just use it as another excuse to make things as long and...

What in the blue f*ck were you thinking? You're about ten years too late.

Working in a bodyshop myself I'd be inclined to say a £700 colour change respray would be sh*t. My place wouldn't even entertain it for less than £2k, it's not worth the hassle for any less than that. I'd love to be proved wrong though.

Don't do it yourself.

213 sounds a bit exaggerated to me for those mods, especially with no printout. Don't bother with the K&N Induction kit, the standard airbox on these cars are pretty much spot on, changing them usually just means lost power.

The RS Clios can take the punishment, they seem to just get stronger/quicker with mileage and usage. Engine wise at least, the trim still falls off.

Do not let any other garage near it, don't even bother faffing about with it yourself, take it straight back to them. They'll only use you touching it as an excuse to try and get out of it.

All of the above.

There's a couple of chavs in media complaining because we don't like somebody's mudflaps or something IIRC.

Love how aggresive it looks with the matt front bumper.

Take them out, looks mean without them.

Fair enough mate, just incase you never realised. Wrong grill is a good excuse to get one off a 172/182 and stick that on, much better looking. As for other plans, get coilies and deck it :D

I've got an Alpine HU with Ipod connection that I've had since my first car over 3 years ago, still works as perfectly as the day I bought it. The Ipod connection feeds through to the glovebox, plug it in, shut the glovebox and control the Ipod via the headunit, top bit of kit.

Looks a tidy standard little motor, though just to let you know, it has the wrong grill and what looks like the wrong headlights in it, BTW.
