the wax crayon is temporary, but V. QUICK and saves all the fuss. ideal if you get a nu chip till you have time to do fussy paint, lacquer & t-cut stuff.

yeah, 1 x locking nut on each wheel AND little key to take plastic trims off. The market for 15s has faded, so not mega theft risk! the auto-lights and auto-wipers are one of the best features on a Dynamique tho P.S: tell her to spend £30 on a leather 172 gear knob - the standard plastic...

yep - £356 on http://www.mytyres.co.ukwww.mytyres.co.uk which ppl often say is cheapest!

Ive got 205/40x17s - only 1.9% bigger circumference so tiny tiny difference from standard 185/55x15

MOST are 7" wide and MOST popular is 205/40x17. MY Tyres are cheapest if buying set http://www.mytyres.co.ukwww.mytyres.co.uk

I not being stupid - i have seen grey/silver crayons!

chip stick is good but expensive. get a HARD wax crayon in almost same colour (steal from Nursery School!) and nick across chips as if colouring a piccy. polish after - works for about 6 weeks!

it does make a tiny difference - if you want to be technical, 1.9% adds 0.1 sec to my 0-60 and might increase my top speed by 2mph!!

they should fit perfectly alright with no spacers or mods. 80% of the all Clios are the same - ive just put 17s on with no problems. try an all forums search on offset to double-check.

seen loads of chat about bigger wheels making cars slower etc. Ive changed 15s to 17s and I cant feel the 1.9% difference! check out http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.htmlhttp://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html. Just put in current size and planned change. This is from the Home Page -...

they look WICKED with chrome edge, whites cool too, but im happy wiv mine - Kosei K1s. Rare on a Clio! http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1077542092__05490004.jpghttp://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1077542092__05490004.jpg

Ive heard a few things about ride, speed humps and rubbing on 17s with 60mm, so went for 40mm APEX - only cost £122 @ BB Performance as a Clio member (~£150 non-member!) feels sharper, roll massively reduced, ride firmer, but OK for 30 mile cross-country commute and even 200 miles on Motorway...

I love my 80, looked at a Fabia vRS, but body kit and white inserts on seats looked a bit cheap. I know they are QUICKER, but £80 Tax, grp 3 insurance, nippy, 2K cheaper with aircon AND 70mpg won me over! Fabia 9/10 performance, 3/10 running costs Clio 8/10 performance, 10/10 running costs...

my 19 IMPROVED - 50 to 53 - more torque, less gear changes. 40 in top should be much easier! It dipped for a week while I stopwatched it, then improved from 50 to 53 (brimful to orange light over about ten tanks). It was still doing 53mpg when I sold it in 03, 9 years old with 90K! I bet...

Superchips quote 88 for a 65dCi upgrade. BUT remember standard cars are under-rated like VW so 65 is actually 70 and 80 is really 85 in standard trim. People sometimes slate upgrades cos they expect MORE - you need 8 times the Horse Power to go twice as fast! I had a Ren 19 upgraded by Van...

Id put money on it being AT LEAST 6-9 months AFTER launch that the hot one arrives - the Meg 225 took long enough!! Youll have the Dogs Bollox for well over 2 years I reckon. a 182 cup upgrade spec dCi 120 (with a 144bhp & 300lb/ft Superchips upgrade) is what Im waiting for!

Mag article is v. poor - Use exisitng data - technical spec already available from Reno and back up with subjective comments. - no tested 0-60 or 50-70, no comparisons with 80 or 100 rivals (Polo etc.) - no kerb weight listed and price wrong! I AM TESTING dCi 100 TOMORROW, AND WILL...

UPDATE. Mag article CRAP!!!!!!!! (read it B4 I got to the door - AND took it back and said wrong edition!) - a few others minor changes to dials, seats and front bumper plus more sound deadening (heavier) and £700 MORE expensive. - BUT subjective comments and use manufacturers figures...

If we ALL get Superchipped together, we may get EVEN more than 15% off???

tiny tiny mods! heaveier/stronger gearbox from Megane and tiddly changes to turbo and injection pressure. Im test driving a dCi100 tomorrow, but on stats alone a Suerchipped 80 gives around 25lb/ft torque MORE than a new dCi 100. Trade-in and lose 4k or £400 on a chip?? P.S: theres a...

dont worry about the deposit - watch the finance. I was offered 3.0%, but when the printed figures arrived they had added on all sorts of crap such as tyre cover and gap insurance. I got them to strip all this off (eventually) and paid 900 under list including finance fees - 9800 + 300 fees...

BikeMan reckons theyre superb - 172 & 306 Rallye i think! i run em on a dCi with 17s and think there ace.

give em your reg or chassis no. if its standard original part - theyll find it!

I stuck mine on the bathroom scales - standard Dynamique 15s with tyres were 15kg, my NEW KOSEI 17s with tyres are 14.5! P.S: If you sell the old ones & need to post (I just have) the cheapest quote by a mile was £36.76 OVERNIGHT (Northants to Redcar) including insurance with Action Express on...

Any reason for Eibach? I searched on this site and APEX are v.popular also - Ive just had them fitted all inclusive for £122.00! at BB Performance in Essex. Excellent - springs AND service.

check the difference in circumference between old and new on the Homepage-Modifications-Wheels link - theres a website to check.

VERY COMMON on cars that tootle about without getting warm - less than 5 miles in one trip. My mum-in-laws Fiesta makes about a pint of mayo between services! Clean it out & change the oil!

I get 72mpg from my TURBO D Sport. Youd save a GRAND a year on fuel on 20K miles! Plus grp 3 insurance, 18K service intervals and £110 Tax. These are nippy as standard, but better with a few mods. Ive just had lowered springs and 17s fitted (what a difference!). Superchips NEXT -172lb/ft...

Run What Ya Brung - an American phrase for drag strip racing anything legal or otherwise!

Ive got 3 points and it had no effect - half the population must have them by now!!!!! Altho. the Cliosort Website survey was only about 17%. Got caught at 41 in a 30 on a racing bike also - cant touch my licence tho. BUT couldve been done with "furious riding" under an 1820 Highway...
