That looks real nice dude IMO - great job :) Does it struggle for clearence at all or anything? I was of the impression that the sump or the exhaust or something was quite low on the Clio3 already and you have to look out for it when lowering. Is that true or ballcocks? Dan

Nice pics Gaz :) Is that a cheeky yellow F355 there ? Dan

Ah I've never noticed that there's different ones before to be honest! Those dark ones look good too - but I still don't like the washer jets though, it's the way they look close up in real life, but as you say, each to their own :) My ideal setup would be to have those black clusters now I've...

Hehe that's like my total opposite :) The auto light fault - I thought some people were having issues where when the headlights came on when it got dark the dash/instrument lights didn't and wouldn't come on some times? I don't have cornering lights, or Xenons and I'm not sure which ones I have -

Sweet dude :) Have you thought about spacers as well? I was just looking at your car in your HID thread and thought spacers would maybe look rather sweet.

I can see them - decent screens FTW hehe ;) Personally I'd paint them black though. And what are the white bits on your tyres? Dan

Those pics are brilliant :) I wouldn't bother with a splitter personally, they don't really do any thing for me and are easily damaged heh - your car looks sweet as is :) Although that WRX does nothing for me, I think classic Imprezas look really, really dated now (just IMO). Dan

That's pretty sweet dude, good work! I love Xenons for the light, but hate that Renault insist on giving you those monsterously ugly headlight washer jets sticking out of the bumper that completely ruin the look. I was insistant on finding an R27 without Xenons, just for the aesthetics of the...

I've just been showing pics of Tim's 197 to my mates, and there are a few of the French hater types in there as well, and everyone without exception said it looked absolutely awesome heh. Just thought you'd like to hear that Tim, get your ego swelling a bit more ;) It does look fcuking...

He makes himself sound incredibly up himself as well IMO - believing he's gonna get 'Hobby test pilots' - Wtf? It looks crap as well. I should think, put it up for £18k, be prepared to get less. The new owner will no doubt need to pay to have it put back to standard for a start - and does...

How can anyone on a car enthusiasts site hate driving *that* much :D ? Only messin mate - bet you're rollin in the savings hehe! Heh, a guy I know near me had one, it leaked constantly, and had constant faults - which was awesome, because he was an utter wanker :)

I'm more worried about the people that have enough bland enough lives to spend time reading the whole thread, then going to the effort to sign up to DW, just to **** off a guy who they have just spent 30 minutes reading about on the internet... They need to tell their mum's to take Net Nanny...

Black. Unless you fit some Brembos, then red.

I've got one of them :D No tailpipes or Halfords spoiler on mine though ;) Dan

This isn't a 182 story, but as some of you know, I'm pretty unwell and not gonna be getting better. I took my R27 out for the first proper thrash for about a month today and the smile on my face when I got home is still there now :) And, yes, I went over 5krpm :p In fact, I was a bit of a...

Looks like new! Bravo - I admire your dedication :)

The black 172 on silver Turinis - are they 17s? It looks fabulous! And someone spill? What did the loon in the Golf do?

Kudos on exhaust fitting yourself! That's some dedication. I'm lazy an just go to my local Hi-Q, they swap an exhaust over for £10-15. Well, I don't really have the drive (ours is stones right round) or equipment for it either. Although last time on my Vee it was £25 cos it took them an...

Brilliant noise! White on the R8 is definately not for me though. I love the seats though, and how the engine bay just looks like it came out of the factory like that. If I was speccing it, I'd take a stock looking R8 in red w/carbon side bits, still want that exhaust, standard wheels and...

Still looking good dude :) Aside from the other 197 grill, do you have more plans?

Do you have a slightly larger version of the pic? I don't want a print, I just thought it would make a nice widescreen desktop backgroun for my laptop :) If you don't wanna post it, but don't mind me having it, PM me and we'll sort it :) Dan

I liked it on the Turinis, but I like it just as much if not more on the 172 rims - and they have the benefit of been really different :) Bravo my friend!

That's a real shame that, I hate seeing rare cars that I love destroyed :( In some ways though, at least it was nature that killed it - rather than a chav with an angle grinder and some wikkid wheels or a TWOCer mashing it into a tree and not killing themselves at the same time. And here's...

Looks good dude, as I said elsewhere :) That Elia kit is foul. And correct me if I'm wrong, but the 138 wings, whilst wider than the 1.2 Clios, are no where near as wide as the 197 wings?

I wouldn't ever buy a car without a service book. I'd argue it's impossible to 'lose' a service book accidently. Unless the previous owner was a dribbling simpleton and is just actually THAT stupid - In which case they're FAR too stupid to be able to drive properly or own a car. The fact...

Just for some extra perspective, a 197 isn't a slow car by any means. I saw talk up there of 'rather have a car that's good on the B roads than in straight lines'. That's something I'd agree with but also, a 197 is only like 1.5 seconds slower than a Megane 230 to 100 (17.5 plays 16), so...

Yea fair call, I bet Renault have lost a fair few people for good with past quality issues. Although I must admit, I was surprised how well built the 197 was when I first got in it, and how nice the interior was. And mind is standing up very well to use - although I know a lot of people are...

Is rexinatrophy that guy who bragged about his school where he learned to loathe the working class? I'd suggest that nothing he's ever said is worth an ounce of dog s**t.

Awesome to hear, for me as a 197 lover, that it was posting quicker speeds than your Cup, as I'm always very impressed by the pace of your Cup in your vids - and it's obviously not due to a lack of skill on your part that the 197 was quicker either. Nice vid as well. If I understand correct -...

You don't mean the blue one in the post above yours do you...? And on another note, those 'Sport kit' dealer bits like on that Red clio up there are reeeeeaaally not for me. They somehow make the wheels look smaller and the car look higher IMHO. (Please no one take offence). 197 front end...
