    Insurance time again :(

    Thanx, I will do the rounds of all the insurance companies and see how I get on! Greenlight does seem a good price though so far. I cant see churchill matching that :P I see from previous posts the bell could also be worth a try along with Adrian Flux. Rich :)

    Just bought my Eibach Prolines :)

    Fred, Thanks Sorry to ask a dumb question but regarding setup what needs to be done? Apart from putting the suspension stuff back properly is it jsut a case of getting tracking done or is there something else that needs to be played with?

    Just bought my Eibach Prolines :)

    HI Fred, I know their labour rates are around £65 a hour I think? I am more worried about getting a good job done than anything else. I know my dad paid about £120 for springs to be fitted a while back at Superior cars

    Hi Fred I am based in Northampton, I was going to give Northampton Motorsport a ring but I am aware that they are not familliar with the clio as a car, they are more into their caternhams.

    Fred, Thank's I guess this is to allow the springs to settle in is it? If you dont mind me asking how much would you normally charge for a job like this? Why do I have to live in an area where there is no one decent :(

    Matt, I would agree Dynamat or a simalar product would be a good choice, if done properly it will also reduce any rattles in the car from trim. I would suggest speaking to a good audio dealer and getting them to fit it. Its a common Mod when doing ICE installs as it improves sound quality as...

    2 Dents in my door !!!

    Dom, Yes it would be possible to push the dents out from the rear, however I would get a company like Dent Devil or chips-away to carry out the work as they are experts at paintless dent removal. Normal costs are around £75 per panel. You can often get companies to come to your house/work to...
