Yea I have a mate who did that. The garage (a Vx dealer) tried to moan, but then realised that he was right. Side windows are not a legal requirement, neither is testing if they can go up or down. Dan

I love how pwned that Fiesta was getting heh. The Saxo is clinging onto the Clio tho! Dan

I wouldn't paint the side stripes - the shop at the top of this page looks the best to me :) Although I'm stunned none of the haters have come onto this thread and said "If you wanted colour coding you should've bought a FF" heh. (I don't think that just to clarify) Dan

LOL @ high mileage heh. Bargain that mate, even if the belts haven't been done I'd have thought. And I assume as you say it came into your work, you work at a garage, so can probably get cheap labour anyway? Dan Dan

Standing and not been used does a car no good at all. Things 'set' where they shouldn't - belts/rubber bits etc and it can seriously weaken them on the pressure points is how I understand it - and it can weaken them when they're moved if they've been sat for a long time. Dan

The wheels look good to me :) Could maybe do with been a touch lower? Also - the plates and gold side doodad aren't my bag but each to their own. Dan

Guy, did you get my email re: this ? Dan

Yes.

Silver cups are indeed rare - but also, so are cups with under 50k miles it seems! Sounds to be a good one :) Awaiting pics ;) Dan

Everything, I pwned a Veyron earlier in a straight line, he was trying - then when we got to the twistys I soon left him so far behind he was out of sight. And it was wet. And I had 8 passengers and a tonne of bricks in the boot. And I wasn't flat out. Dan

Too true - caps it is I guess. I need some nice side on photos of a Vee now to shop and decide if I want silver or black :) Dan

+1 it looks brand new! Mind you, it is Trophy money... And almost 197 money so it wants to hehe. Dan

I suspected as much - cheers duderino :) Dan

Oh P.s. Fred - do you have to know the 'nut' size off hand? Cheers :) Dan

They're like, 6 years old now, should I be replacing them anyway? It's the only thing I can find that's not mint about my Vee now hehe - well, once I've replaced the drivers side grab handle anyway (it's a bit minged). Dan

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...

Woah - that's like, well I'd be pissed... Dan

...woah. Dan

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Renault-Clio-Williams-Ayrton-Senna-Decals-Stickers_W0QQitemZ120212286074 - may be your answer mate heh. Dan

I'd suggest that was about £1.5-£2k over priced.... Dan

For the love of god don't get the spoiler :D I like the side skirts and front splitter tho... Any other options or just the Recaros (which are a necessity IMHO)? Dan

It's under warranty isn't it? Dealer - you'll be able to get them to pay. Dan

D'oh, pwned hehe! They do look good mind you heh - so at least I can console myself with the fact that IMHO I was right :) Dan

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

I'd not have it so low, and I'd have it on the 18" Turinis on eBay :) And not orange hehe :) Dan

Heh sorry mate ;) Dan

They may be quick in a straight line (when tweaked) but they're *HIDEOUS* to drive IMHO those Starlets... Dan

Both offerings from VX are *significant* improvements on their last 'performance' versions of those models (Astra GSi and Corsa, I suppose the 125bhp 1.8 SRi was their quick one of that...). However, something is really not right here, it must have been an insanely twisty circuit for the Corsa...

Just done my catch up read :) Impressive as ever. You got some skills there! Dan

What is this, revive shite-old-threads day? I just found myself looking at pics of Rob's car from 6 months ago as well thinking "I didn't know Rob had a new car..." till I noticed the date heh. Dan
