    Not the best car I'm sure and not even a Clio but I'm proud of my inferno 225!! :D

    Two Bucket Method????

    I'm probably being really dense here but what does the 'two bucket method' of washing the car consist of other than two buckets??? lol I pride myself on the fact that my Meg never gets too dirty anyway so usually a quick rinse, followed by lambs wool washmit with car shampoo, then rinse...

    Duragloss Aquawax

    Looks like a similar result to the Turtle Speed Wax. Quick spray on, spread around, dry for 5 mins then buff off. Leaves a nice glossy finish which is ideal between proper waxes! :D

    CAR COVERS???

    The breathable covers that they sell in Halfords have served me well for the last year and a half. If you buy a completely waterproof cover then you can only keep it on the car for 2-3 days as it'll get moisture underneath. If you want it on the car for longer, then you'll need a...

    182 revs dropping when cold.

    Yeah might have a check of the filter this weekend. Fuel shouldn't be an issue as its only fed on the V-power from the same garage as my 225 gets fuelled.

    182 revs dropping when cold.

    Its an open cone filter. But been on the car since last July and been fine. Same design as on my old 172 and that was fine as well. tis a bit strange.

    182 revs dropping when cold.

    The missus 182 Cup has just over 13k on the clock, green induction kit and powerflow back boxes. Noticed that in the last couple of months, when the cars cold going up hill the revs seem to die down to the point where you have to change down to 2nd. The other night it did it to the point...

    Right, I'll swap you for my Clio RT, thats gotta be worth £900 haha. Bargain. To a chav its probably worth more than you Williams coz its got TSW alloys on it!! Woooo!! ;)

    I told her not to buy a Renault...!!!

    Unfortunately this is exactly what puts Renault at the bottom of the pile, their dealer service can be shockingly sh!te!!! I'm quite lucky that I've always had good experience at my local dealer but I've known people go there and get treated like crap. Hopefully you won't experience any...

    Megane Sport 225 and 182

    On a track, I'd expect a 172/182 to have the edge with regard to handling. Far more chuckable than the Megane, as you'd expect really due to the overall size of a Clio compared to the Megane. But on the road and for the average driver the 225 is a quicker car. Off the line they are both...

    Striped Clio with Chrome hubcaps

    Caught a glimpse of this stunning beast driving accross Kenley Aerodrome (Surrey). Apart from not indicating well turnin accross me at a roundabout, he then drove with such speed I couldn't keep up. Granted I was in a big black van at the time!!! lol

    Im a newy here and im in a pickle!

    I would say, first tip. Don't tell everyone that your Pug is shite coz then you really won't ever sell it!!! lol I dunno what to suggest really, other than pricing the Pug quite low for a quick sale. Hope you get to keep you Clio though. :D :D

    Unbelievably peeved!

    Thing is, it should lose your no claims if you've got it proven that its her fault. It will come off her insurance. She sounds like a t**t either way though. lol
  17. Alex_225

    Unbelievably peeved!

    Thats a pretty scummy thing to do and to be honest I'd be mighty p!ssed at her. Personally, go through your insurance, let the neighbour be a witness and get her screwed for driving off at the scene of an accident!!! lol

    none virgin rs owner

    You got a good deal there mate, especially for a car with 24k and as rare as it is. Probably one of the nicest colours that RenaultSport have done too. The wheels aren't too bad, there are ones out there that would suit it more but if it was me, it wouldn't bother me too much. I'd colour...

    SEAT owners hating clios!!!!

    The Phase 1 Clio does look kinda dated, purely coz the Phase 2 172 came out and still looks fresh today. People who own different cars don't necessarily know the potential of other brands/models. In the same way I don't know much about Ibizas they clearly don't know much about Clio 172s...

    Car Bra..........

    I've got a Megane 225 not a Clio anyway, but I just thought I'd look into it before everyone has a fit over it haha. I saw a black Clio on here which had one and I liked it.
  21. Alex_225

    Car Bra..........

    Protect your bonnet/bumpers etc from stone chips!! Also considering I'm going for a black/inferno theme on my Megane I reckon it'd look ok.
  22. Alex_225

    Car Bra..........

    But serve a purpose and when done right, I think they look kinda funky. Besides, I've seen some tasty looking gash before. lol
  23. Alex_225

    Car Bra..........

    I know somone on here's got one on their rather tasty Clio. I just wondered where it had come from and how much etc etc. I kinda fancied one for my Megane thats all. :D Its not the most common thing over here so any info would be great.

    My clio gets me in bother!!!!

    Gutted for ya mate, its easily done. And just completely bad luck that you've got caught speeding so many times in a short space of time. Also, you can't tell me that every person on here whose driving a high performance Clio is sticking to the speed limits exactly???? Hope you don't get...

    Back to my roots

    The Focus RS' are lovely motors, a lot more classy and classic than the new ST is. Why get rid though??? I know what you mean about not wanting to take it out all the time, I'm terrible with my Meg 225 but I wouldn't get rid for anything.

    Back to my roots

    Very nice there mate, my missus also has a 182 Cup from March 05 with almost identical mileage too!! Looking good and hope you enjoy it.

    Holy mother of god - what were Reno thinking?

    I'd have have thought that the current range of 'super minis' will have the same problem with their 1.2 ranges. I mean look at the new Corsa, it appears as bulky as the new Clio and also comes in a 1.2. Gotta be super slow!!!!

    can a V6 drift ?

    Just from what I've seen of them I'd imagine that the reason they let go in a huge fashion is due to the massive levels of grip which by the time you break that grip you're really pushing it. Then when it finally slips, it lets go and is hard to correct. Stuff like a 200SX for example is...

    Refurb or Buy and Resell

    I dropped my Megane off and left it with em whilst they did all four wheels. Less hassle than buying new ones and selling your old ones. I got mine done at Wicked Wheels in Crawley and highly rate em. If done properly the finish will be factory anyway. Wheels are only painted lacquered...

    Refurb or Buy and Resell

    Mate, its all good getting em refubed. I had the ones on my Megane reburbished and powder coated black. Better finish than my original wheels. And £220 for all 4. :D
