I was part of the group buy for mats from Justmatz on V6Clio.net - posting this here as well as I know a lot of people have these mats here as well. I remember when they arrived, James (Dash/V6Clio head dude) and I discussed them on MSN as we both felt they were a bit crappy. Was just...

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/455603.htm Jesus that's scary price dropping :( Almost getting towards 2nd car money now heh! So I can keep the Vee for weekends :) Dan

Picture request - can anyone furnish me with a pic of a DC5 wearing Rota GTR wheels please? I've googled to no avail :( Ta :D Dan

I appear to be being a bit crap, and can't find any decent pictures of the Red K-Tec 197 (with the 18s, RS skirts etc) - can someone please post them heh. I KNOW I've seen them before, the only ones I can find are from FCS and are all really tight angles or have people standing in front of it...

Saw the R27 a little while ago, looked stunning, and the Williams yesterday - looked brand new to be fair, I wanted it :) Dan

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/379928.htm Is there a catch I'm missing here? Ok, 39k in 2 years, but it's still an 06 plate and 39k isn't exactly intergalactic... Dan

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/390464.htm 197 for 9,995 on PH - sure I recognise that plate from here and it was just bugging me trying to put it to a name heh. Keen price too! Dan

My friend has just gone out and got herself one of these - I had a go tonight, bear in mind it had 101 miles on it so I didn't wanna go mental heh. Pulled well, was amazingly torquey for a 1.2 (obviously the turbo helps) - the dash and steering wheel - these are the same as the Cup yea? They...

Looked just loverley :) Parked up with a red LCR 225. Dan

Learning on the job was the order of the day - anyway, taking pictures of swirls it turns out is quite tricky (note to self, tripod of out of the car next time...) but you get the idea :) BEFORE - AFTER - Washed - Megs Gold Class Dried w/detailer Clayed Megs #83 applied with G220...

Amazingly fast delivery, best prices, and literally I must have been on the phone for half an hour getting advice and tips from Matt on machine polishing! Best customer service ever, 11 out of 10. And he threw in some free wax samples, and some Anglo Bubbly bubblegum hehe...

Me and a mate when in on this... Swirls marks be dammed! Machine polish anyone ;) ? Dan

Have we done this yet? I remember the discussion of the GT, but not sure I've seen the RS on here... http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/twingo/ Almost looks quite cool :p Dan

Hey y'all... A kind soul bought me some Dodo Juice Lime Prime and Light Fantastic - I am very happy about this. Now, with regards to the lime prime, where in this order does it go - and does it replace AG SRP 1. Wash/shampoo 2. Dry 3. AG SRP 4. Dodo Light Fantastic (clay left out cos I...

Opinions? It's at my local dealer in Seamer (near Scarborough). I think the stripes almost suit it... I'm undecided :) Dan

During the big cleaning session today, I came across some brake dust that would just NOT come off the wheels. It was like black freckles in between each spoke, loads of like 1mm dots with the odd bigger patch. Just would not budge. Tried soaking it in Autoglym Clean Wheels and everything...

Can anyone point me to the name of the colour/paint code/somewhere to get matching paint from for the silver grab handles and centre dash bit of a Mk1 V6 (or 172 as they're the same). Looking to respray the grab handle as it's gone manky. Dan

Went to my mate Chris' today to clean to Vee. Firstly, got the old pressure washer out and got the thick crap off, and blasted the arches. Then washed with Megs Gold Class shampoo, Autoglym Clean Wheels on the wheels, dried, clayed with Megs Smooth Surface clay kit (never clayed a car before...

I've tried a few of these, and they never seem to work for more than about a day. Is there one which is actually any good? Someone today told me black shoe polish (proper wax stuff not bottled liquid) is the best and last the longest - is that worth a shot? It's only for my mirror bases and...

Are the wheel nuts for the Vee just standard Renault 'Alloy Wheels' wheel nuts? I've noticed a couple of mine have gone a bit rusty on top and been really vain, I think I might have to replace them :) Or can I get covers for them perhaps? I remember my old 206 had little plastic caps over the...

Was just browing the bay due to bordem and came across these - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Speedline-Turini-18-Alloy-Wheels-RENAULT-CLIO-MK3-197_W0QQitemZ160113339483 Thoughts? Personally I reckon they'd look pretty good on a 197... Anyone fancy doing a bit of PS work :) ? Dan

Am I right in saying the interior courtesy light, the map light, the side lights and the rear number plate lights are all 501 fitment? I'm thinking white LED replacements for the lot in the Vee is all - mainly cos I'm bored and browsing eBay right now heh :) Dan

Getting a man in to do an engine oil and gearbox oil change on the Vee. Got the filter and sump plug washer from Renault, no bother. I know for the gearbox I need Elf TRP 75w80 - but where can I get that from? My local Renault place just said they didn't sell oil because they only have it in...

Well, it's not, but awesome :) http://www.stuttgart9.co.uk/upload/showthread.php?t=5087 Dan

Ok I know there are a few PC types in here, can anyone recommend me a motherboard? Needs to have... 4 x SATA channels (4 is a minimum - pref 6) 2 x IDE channels (each with 2 on of course) PCIe GFX Slot (pref. SLi) Decent on board sound (optical as well as analog out would be nice, but like...

Pwned ;) I'm pretty sure it had a CS sticker, and a fruity exhaust. Hehe thanks for the thumbs up mate :) Dan

Took a few photos tonight in the station car park of my V6 and Stace's Starlet GT Turbo. They came out pretty well, especially considering we were only using my little Exilim point and shoot, just a selection here, the full lot can be seen on my website HERE. Hope you all...
