Are you blind? -Rob

lol..otherwise i heard a felt tip might do the job. You have to dye it! -Rob

That doesnt make sense fred..mine is lowered only 80mm and im 8cm off the ground. And that was with a shatter resistant ruler so clearly accurate ;) Standard is 16cm! -Rob

Yeah Andy Bassett did it (1.216v)...doesnt come on anymore though..He did have probs though, rubbing on the fuel tank or something. http://www.cliosport.net/gallery/others/1633-4.jpg

I liked the idea of the Magnex twin but i think the subtler k-tec twin looks better on the non sport models. However the K-tec/Tiger exhausts quality is dubious IMO. -Rob

Theyll fit..but only 18s will make your Clio look like a rollerskate so id cut the arches up and make sure its lowered a lot. Youd have to go with the FKs i think, with adjustable damping. You certainly couldnt get away with just springs..whoever the next lame ass is who says you can just use...

I want Rover to do well being British again..but the ZR is a bit halfords for my tastes. -Rob

205s will effect handling..but i find 195s on teh cup wheels (with contis at least..) provide no protection on the rim. =Rob

My dad has this at the rear of his GTV..pretty sure its the bushes

Yes because it gives the effect of longer gearing. However wider tyres cause more drag so it may balance out. -Rob

lol. the ease of tuneability is appealing but it still will sound like a bag of nails, so ill stick with the 75bhp..though i am impressed dont worry :D

Wahey the intercooler looks sweet! Shame its a diesel!

Goodyear F1 GSD3s appear to be the best..but you appear to be a tight ass..

The flame red looks very good..stop with the flips and sh*t..theyll be old hat in a few years and what happens if you get scratches, dents etc?? -Rob

Nasty..Chipsaway are good value to get it repaired. -Rob

I dont see the problem? You can get the Eibach coilovers and Orbisound exhaust over here easy.. -Rob

That sort of mileage could easily mean the pads are shot..you should be checking them out..is the braking worse? In the wet youll get more more noises but i doubt youd tell without the window down. -Rob

Directline and Tesco are the same insurance company.

Nah..upsets the car even though really 205s are hardly wide. Had 185s on my car originally, could go a lot slower yet have a bit of fun. Obviously there is more grip but thats not to be misinterpreted as better handling. -Rob

Got the Osram ones from powerbulbs..didnt bother with the wannabe xenons this time and the difference is immense. -Rob

K-tecs arent the be all and end all. Mine is covered in some sort of rust, its also boomy so IMO quality is hovering around average at best. The sound is nice for a simple 1.2 16v though. Look around..theres millions of exhaust manufacturers. -Rob

I can get the conversion done for free, and i have found a cheap engine (45k), box incl. ecu. from a mk1 172. I know brakes are important but im not looking for a carbon copy of a 172, i can cross those hurdles when i get to them. The advantage of buying a 172 engine seperately is i can modify...

to be more accurate..drivetrain wise..essentials..like what makes a 172 diff from base models. 172 badges..rear brakes, dont matter! Thanks.

Can i have a list of what things spring to mind for a 2.0 172 conversion.. Comments along the lines of just get a 172 not welcome ;) Cheers -Rob

Drove a standard GTiR yesterday. Maybe good in their day..no more! -Rob

Nice..they have a 206 version now. Couldnt really call it a clio though..? -Rob

At the end of the day its always going to be cheaper online because of the overheads Halfords have. Should of got a poncy 172 if you wanted ICE!

I want a pretty engine.. :(

It was a V8 clio yesterday!

Are they not open now then..? Was going to phone them in a minute..
