Was chatting to a VOSA MOT tester down at BMW this week when I popped in. Got to chatting about my clio and he said the new legislation regarding having sliding front seats fitted from factory was now enforceable at MOT (my buckets are on sliders so no issue) Wondered if anyone had come up...

Isn't that 'Storm Grey' ?

I use WIM for the Geo on my Clio, great bunch and they really know their stuff (especially MX5). They are a fair distance from you though up in Chesham. Ps: Car looks lovely

Looks similar to the damage I got when I ran over the base of a broken glass bottle, not deep enough to puncture but took a lump out of the tyre.

I don't understand why he spent £3000 on paint work and then £4000 on a respray? Seems if he had it painted right the first time, he could have saved £3000.

God knows, god knows why it was built in the first place, I'm guessing it was something to do with a large amount of acid, several bottles of vodka.

Remove rear light bulbs clean connections on both the bulbs and the connector block with a bit of sand paper, gently bend the connections out to ensure you are getting a good connection. Job done

Congrats on another win and another great write up :)

Points to take into account: 1. Will you have to drive the car 2. Will you have to be seen in the car 3. What 'special' sexual favours will you gain from your mrs by fitting them.

Type D from renault.

Looks lovely, dread to think what your insurance premiums are a year.

It's not road tax, it's VED. And yes mines due to

Yes as stated in the OP ;) what they don't have is a record of the belts. Looks lovely Dawn, look forward to seeing it scrubbed up and shiney.

What about Pagid Blues.

True you could say that, although why he would have done a s**t job on mine and a good one on this one is beyond me... Mine is plain black with silver stitching to keep it as OEM as possible. IIRC I paid by bank transfer and be happy to do so again should the need arise, workmanship is second...

What, round, black and a steering wheel? Yes.

I've got one of Snappys re-trimmed wheels in my Cup, one of the first ones Sold on here I think so probably about 2 years back and it's still like new.

As I say I'm not clued up on the 225 conversion other than I'm aware there are a few fitment issues with the gearbox that have to be addressed. Boost can work very well, Chips clio is running a PH1 engine with 197 inlets and is making very good power. Another member who might be worth...

Can't help with any info on the conversion, but before going the 225 route have a word with Chip-mk1 on here about his Turbo PH1

As above really. I'm with them have been for 3 years now. Reasonable cost (comparative with other company's) everything declared on a like for like basis. Staff very knowledgable and friendly.

Ah that's the one I had in my head, personally think it looks great, but as above I would expect it to handle poorly.

I thought the V6 wheels were more 'Spokey' I could be entirely wrong (probably am). IIRC it was a black one, maybe they just suited a black car over red.

I saw a 197 with the Megane 225 wheels on, they looked nice but not those V6 above.

Choice 1. I run them in my cup which I use as a daily. Comfortable, very supportive and on long drives they don't leave you crippled (did some 900 odd miles in them a few weeks back)

What terminal box did you use?

Love it, I nearly had an E21 as my fist car.

Will be the rear lamp connections, I had to adjust the pins slightly with a small screw driver on the connector block on mine. Even if the connections look clean I would still suggest giving them a clean up with some sand paper.

I've got one of the wheels you did, been on the car for a year or so and is still like new, craftsmanship is second to none IMO

Iirc you can put a bucket in the engine bay, you could put the sand in that. I've driven my cup the past 4 winters without issues, it's not the car that's the issue, it's your application of the throttle.
