The creak is where the white cover that comes down the edge of the windscreen meets the dash just next to the tweeter. pad it out and you should notice it gone. mine was the same, and its an amazing transformation

oh dear

very nice...15 miles on the clock aswell, do they have a large compound?? mine had 3 miles when i picked it up

im not keen on the look of the edition 30's, too much colour on the bumpers. shame you cant get that engine in standard gti, then map it up to 300bhp as opposed to 240-260 on th standard ones

so its quicker than a 225??? we've got sod all hope then whatever we own!!!

in the description he mentions nothing modification wise, just weights and passengers....but even with a remap 20-30bhp would the extra weight compensate? the clio driver did seem to be gunning it too. I must admit it does seem to be a quick golf

i caught the door edge with my finger nail and it took the paint off, and i dont have long nails at all!!! very flimbsy paint!!

you do know its fwd dont you?

ive not seen anyone pull them down on this thread? or is that line ready on your copy and paste just in case??:eek:

we'd have to see the R27 v R26, if the standard is only 1.5 secs slower, i think it would be a fun race. The megane must really struggle to put the power down or the extra weight is a problem, unless the 197 is just a better overall handling car? hmmm........ 172 cup v R26.......:S

i'd have either!

now imagine the r27 with similar power to the r26!!!!

Ive just been looking on youtube for 197's and R26's, and viewed both on fifth gear posts. The standard 197 lapped the same track as the R26 1.5 seconds slower. Over several laps thats quite a lot, but still thought it would be a lot slower due to suspension set up, bhp, and turbo. Wonder...

I was shocked that my 197 hit 68-70 in 2nd and 90 in third, so your 182 cant be standard....surely? 110 in 4th.....

explain?

only on paper.....i came out of a 225 into my 197 so I do know

eh? get a life! was commenting on TT225

oh dear....a TT. I'd hope for your sake it really is a lot better than a 225 cos they are really boring and slow

Both quotes include protected no claim and legal expenses. Not bothered about courtesy car as I can borrow a handful. With tesco it gave me the option on having £0 voluntary excess for both drivers. Thats why I posted the thread really, it seemed to good to be true. Glad ive saved the quote.

No, just never heard of that mag fool:rasp:

catch your drift, i'd rather stick with one company, im fed up of keep changing. see if i get anything for being a 2 year loyal customer!!

sorry.... i was trying to put it into comparison with something else.....i'd estimate £1500-£2000 for a good spray job.

elaphant started getting out priced about 4 years ago by other companies. I have tried them and they offered me a 10 month deal???? then a cheaper 12 monther next time.....if my sums are right that 22 months, so i'd be stuck with them to keep getting full years no claims bonus each time....they...

It'd probably cost you a years insurance premuim on a monaco blue 172 clio

The 172, 182, 197 is the power output from the 2.0 sport models. The higher the number the more power the car has. More power though some will tell you does not equal a faster car! to put it into perspective, if you are looking at the 1.4 engines the power output will either be 75 or 98(16valve)...

Ok, ive been with privilege insurance for the last 2 years and these years consisted of a 225 audi tt and now my 197. last years premium was £470 ish, this years renewal has gone up to £530 even though ive no claims or points. Ive just got a quote from tesco and they quoted me £328 with me,27...

I tend to only see a couple of blue ones in town at the mo, would love to see a black one in the flesh, as black is clearly the best colour! :D

whoes ever heard of that mag anyway? i havent, never seen it on the shleves of my local newsagent

2nd pick looks like your wheels have a bit of a lean on, unless its just a dodgy shot?
