Cost me roughly about 450ish
That was for: New shocks all round, New top mounts, Cooksport springs, new wishbones, trackrods, arb bushes, steering rack bushes.
Right today I saw a Black v6 in llanberis, Silver 182, Artic 182 on the A55 and a Monaco in Rosset near Chester.
First time I'v seen a v6 it looked great. :)
I've been looking at 15s to, this may help.

Also wonder if Oz ultraleggera 15s would fit.

The shocks look like the ones off my old 1.2 the dish is far to deep, I doubt the rubber part would even sit in my shocks there's hardly any lip on them.

I'm replacing the whole wishbone.
Cheers.

They where already on mine when I bought it so I can't say I know the difference with or without but I always thought they received good reviews.
In short no.
I doubt you will be taking bends on the road fast enough or on a "racing line" to make real use of the top mounts.
On the other hand if its just a weekend toy and you like going on spirited drives through the welsh mountains etc then it might add to the fun of the drive plus its a...

Please don't say kwik fit fitted the tires.
Are the tyres the right size?
Can you wobble the front wheels if cars off the ground?
Any play in the steering?

Tbh your always going to get some drone with these cars especially the stripped out cup editions
Best option is to tell them and see what they say, it may be that they where worried about impacting on the performance so have tried to hit a middle ground.
Personally I would just get some sound...
Pretty sure its the middle cylinder facing the back of the car on the luguna V6 so I would guess similar on the clio?
Edit: In fact i'm not sure its the same engine, I'd wait for someone to confirm
