Worth having if you parallel park on busy streets regularly, or have a really narroww drive/garage. Otherwise, don't bother.

Doesn;t it have to involve a mechanical device (turbo/supercharger) to be forced induction? The 'funnel' concept applies to most airboxes I think, and some cars have a 'ram effect' into the airbox (197 included, apparently), but it's not classed as forced induction.

Your avatar looks like a ph2, but that should have 16" alloys. Not sure if it was a typo? (or whether it would actually make the ride better or worse).

Go to Rentech, make a day of it. I went there from Banbury, did a bit of shopping, had some lunch and went to the cinema.

Nice one. Cheers.

Not really - don;t thinks it's engine mounts as engine seems pretty solid. I was wondering if something might've come astray on the steering column?

If I sat stationary with the steering wheel centered, and then turn it about 10 degrees either way, I get a sort of clonk, as though there's some slack. Can also feel something through the pedals, if I have brake or clutch down. Is this normal, as I've not noticed it before (also seems to...

I think to your avergae person in the street (not bothered about cars), the Clio's not going to look boyracer-ish. A 182 with Cup packs and in a lurid colour might do a little, but it's still not attention seeking.

Just realised these are also completely the wrong size. Arse.

Just realised how rubbish my few pictures look compared to everyone else's - oh the shame! :(

Fuel pump? Think mine does this.

Free them from the ice manually before trying to operate them in car. You'll need to de-ice/scrape though, even when they're free.

Broadspeed.com have them for £13,333.00.

Broadspeed reckon they've got R27's at £14,440

You can buy Gold Membership via the XBox itself if you're not able to find a card anywhere.

Anyone looking at moving to Vodafone let me know. I might be able to get you a bill credit in addition to whatever offers we're doing (can't remember the exact details so will check at work tomorrow and update).

Going from Warwick road up Woodgreen Avenue way. Seem to be seeing loads of these at the moment

Me neither - I always thought it would be great if Renault took the old Clio chassis (as they have done with the Twingo), stuck the 182 engine in it and popped on a small coupe body (Puma/Tigra size). Then sell it for £12,000.00 because it all old tech. Maybe they could even put a an Alpine...

They won't put too big an engine in it, as the don't want it to compete with the 197.

http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/214464/hot_renault_twingo.html Looks quite funky - not sure about the projected £12,500.00 price though. It would have to be seriously good to justify that, even when discounts are applied.

As per title - anyone on here?

My rear spring snapped - it's due to water collecting and rusting the ends (I think)

There's someone works for AutoExpress in Banbury (I think), so maybe it's them...

Just as I was leaving the car park yesterday morning, I saw it parked up on about the 3rd level. Have seen it previously coming out of Drayton as well. Press car? Or pre-production tester? It's still a couple of months off launch I think...

As per title, yesterday morning.

Always fancied having those courtesy light things in the doors on my 172. Is that wrong?

Think the Punto Abarthe is 150bhp? An then the SS option/pack takes it up to 180?

Silver 172 mk2. Not normally going in Tescos direction - had to take my girlfriend to the station the other morning. Did I see you heading off Broughton way a few days back? Or at Sainburys petrol station (I was checking my tyre pressures and looking seriously pissed off)?

You haven't got the Black Gold one have you? You're right, there's loads around Banbo, just doesn't seem to be many of them on here :(
