The Type-R will give you more cash (although I suspect closer £11k), whereas the Clio will possibly be less reliable, but also less thirsty - and if it does go wrong parts are cheap. Tough call. Do you need the extra space of the Type R? Dan

Is that the new shape Cupra or the old shape one? The VXR can now be remapped by the 888 centre to 220bhp and you keep your warranty 100% intact - which you would anyway because the dealer would never know it had been remapped - but still :) Dan

They're not that bad - it's at a good price as well. You could eBay them, and buy some Turinis - job done. Dan

http://www.v6clio.net/gallery/albums/General/06_G.jpg Cut out with the addition of foul mesh heh. Oh it seems I can't link to things in the V6clio.net gallery heh - anyway, go look in the bumper modifications thread in the media centre over there :) Dan

I quite like the stickers to be honest! I love those wheels, why don't all 1*2s have them... They'd look sweet in 18x7.5 and 18x8.5 on my Vee.... Dan

Stick an update in this thread with pics of the smooth/holes one if you'd be so kind :) Dan

That 'teg has given me a tent. Dan

If you can make one that matches the pedals style wise, I'll take one off your hands ;) Dan

They're not faster than a Mk1 V6 - presumably he felt the need to include them to 'get back' at me as I own one for saying I'd rather have a GTi6 heh. In the dry a well driven Mk1 Vee would hang onto most things handling wise (within reason) - massive amounts of grip till the limit. <queue...

Lol at "removing the roof invalidates warranty" :) I was gonna post all that about the roof scoof, but I see peaches beat me too it heh. Dan

Was just going off the Honda figures, so probably at the crank yea. 05 plater, done about 4k miles - get all your fair weather biker jokes out the way now hehe ;) Dan

I have a Hornet 600 I use in the summer - it's only got like 95bhp or something but it's leagues faster than any car I've ever been in up to 140mph. It's unfaired so 140 is where you lose your battle with the wind heh. Dan

Hmmmm now where does one source one of THOSE then... <checks ebay> Well, I'm outta ideas... Dan

I want that little steering wheel silver bit. Where do I get that from for a Ph1 wheel? Dan

That's seriously awesome. Yea, the VX220 NA has like, 50bhp less than an Exige doesn't it? I liked the VX NA - but I couldn't live with it over the Turbo at all, it was just not very fast once you got moving. I mean, it wasn't really slow, but it was a lot slower than the Turbo. Felt a...

If I was buying a car, with my own money, and could only choose between an St and a GTi-6. I'd have the 306. I quite like 306s - the ST does nothing for me and costs 8 times what the 306 does - yet isn't much quicker and probably doesn't handle as well. Dan

Black would be my preference. Dan

Stacked Mk1s FTW? Hehe that's tempting fate isn't it... Dan

Snow here too! So I took the Vee out for a laugh :) Dan

No I think the silver were just 182 FFs without Cup Packs. You just never see them because most got the Cup pack hehe :) Dan

I tend to go by Evo times that they've done themselves, mainly because they say my car does 0-60 in 5.8 seconds, and that's the best one for bragging down the pub (0-60 times have no other use IMHO heh). Dan

Silver wheels means it doesn't have the Cup packs, and is a full fat with climate/cruise/half leather etc I do beleive. Dan

Regardless of whether they pulled away, I'd still have the 197 out of that bunch heh. Couldn't be seen in public in the Corsa, the Mini is just f**king gay, and the Ibiza is getting on about now and whether it pulled away or not, I still don't think they handle very well. GLF with a remap mind...

No, it's not OTT - I always tell them not to wash it as well. Dan

Yea I've noticed this with mine, till it gets warm the gearbox is a right pig. Dan

No seriously, it was up and down some twisty mountain roads, and they got away from the Clio - even the Ibiza. They were surprised, and saddended because it was watching the legend of the Trophy taken over by the 197 or something (can't remember the quote now to be honest - I'm sure someone can...

The interior does the job. It's solid, it doesn't rattle, it has seats and aircon, what more do you want :D Depending on circumstances and the results of an upcoming hospital visit mine might be for sale around then Wyborn heh :) FSH/Cambelt done (that's a grand)/29k miles/silver/mint. Will...

^^ Bit of a grey area. They *shouldn't* hike your premium for declaring them midterm anyway though. Dan

I'd agree with that 100%. Most of the claims I seemed to deal with were old people who had just 'not seen it' and driven into something... Dan
