I'm the origional designer. I've just seen this now otherwise I would have answered sooner. I don't have any problem with you or your partner having a play with the image and posting it up, that's what this forum is all about, having some fun! I also appreciate that you mentioned the image is...

Some metal in the road got flicked up by another motorist then got flung at my other half's Ka smacking it on the door, que her coming in from work in tears. It's a heck of a dent from such a small impact. I think the wax helped it skid off the panel a bit but it has dug in. Can anyone...

Good to get friendly with a Renault garage / specialist. If you have an engineers report from an official garage it looks good when you sell the car on.

Nothing to worry about but if you get a chance just change it, if something happens to your car you have it on record that it was all done above board.

So long as you keep 9pts then the car is legal, you 'may' still need an engineers report of the work (you could get a certificate from a Renault garage for example if they'll do that sort of thing) if you the work yourself. I know of a couple of Ka's that have had to have an engineers report...

You have to inform them of ANY major change. Infact there is a points system for any radically altered vehicle, probably not a problem with the clio, but you may need an SVA for some conversions. Each major component is worth so many points and the total must be made from 8 manufacturer...

you've done a really good job on the smoothing.

I'd really have to trust my judgement or I'd be thinking, even with a fsh and mot etc, will it drive rubbish or sound like a tin of nails being shook when I drive it back. I guess it's part luck too. If you've got a bargain though, well done.

I thought nearly a month without my car was bad enough. 1 year! to have it all sorted, bloody joke. I was on the phone every day, sometimes twice daily saying "WELL, what have you done since we last spoke, tell me?" And if they said "nothing" I just said "WHY have you done nothing, let's get...

Mine was just under 4 weeks from the time I made the call, the process was slowed because the other driver refused to give his details (after saying he couldnt remember them at the scene of the accident) I had his plate and name + mobile number, apparently the car wasn't his. In the end I...

Very true. I've mentioned this before on CS, my old ford never picked up one parking dint in the 3 years I had it, the metal must have been made from melted down tanks or something! But honestly it was very solid and so was my Morris Minor, and my Triumph. The clio has plastic front wings...

Take two days off work after the remap. Wait untill rush hour has finished and fill the tank up. Seek out roads you've never driven before then just drive until it's low, fill up, repeat the process and just enjoy your car. I did this once about 8 years ago, just to enjoy the car, much better...

I always think of these as a valetors tool rather than anything a detailer would touch. I mean the top detailers wont even stroke a waffle towel down a panel, they dab it, ask Rich. However the blades are also awsome to use on tiled bathroom walls when giving the room a clean or removing water...

I've had both my Macs about 6 years now (G4 dual and Powerbook). In that time I strongly feel mine have been value for money. My G4 litterally helped me so much on my degree, then I started freelancing and they have paid for themselves over 100 times. It's fair to say that Macs will...

Pic wh*ring threads are worth the download when it's content is a vee! Great pics.

Nice one Lee! I would have loved to get involved in the demo scene back when rave demo's like Jesus on E's was around! As a teenager I could have reeled off most demo groups names and even the handles of the crews! It used to be cool when you'd see the shouts and the occasional 'send a fcuk'...

Hahahaa

'I choose death no NO I mean circle' 'well, we're all out of circles'

French build quality. haha :)

That's what I thought but I'm not a mechanic either. You should just be able to check if it's the ring that's buggered easy enough. Check both sides.

I checked mine with the wheel on the car, it is easier with the wheel off though. I just turned the wheels and put my hand around the back. You will feel a castlated cog at the back of the disk attached to the driveshaft, it looks like this all the way around: n_n_n_n You will feel if it has...

The same way I'd own a car like yours and say "Aww, isnt that a beast!" I'd love a little 500 for shopping runs and sharing with the other half, and a Vee for fun... and not sharing with the other half.

The latest Ka will be based on the Fiat 500, so if you are not keen on the fiat's looks the new Ka will be a bit more angular, kind of like a mini corsa vxr. I like the new twingo too, from the pics I've seen the RS is quite nice.

My dad brought home a 086 i never really played on that much.. then later a 286 IBM PS/2 with vga graphics!!! The first games I played were probably frogger and a few public domain type games which were just written by enthusiasts. I remember a game where you had to daze bees and a tank game...

Blimey, to quote from madmax kid bouncing on roof; "hey mister, what happened to this car?" bubba "what do you think?" kid "Looks like it's been chewed up and spat out" bubba "perhaps it is the result of an anxiety"

Not seen that before, good power to weight. The looks dont do anything for me though, the nose looks like its been chopped off a bigger car and grafted onto something lupo sized.

I didnt want to like these things but I went to a dealership which also sold Suzuki with my folks to take their swift in for a service and spotted the 500 in the show room, so thought I'd have a look. They are really suprisingly solid, the chrome door handles are nice and chunky and the doors...

Just Found the Novitec supercharger info. http://news.smartdownloads.net/Auto/Novitec_dials_up_the_Fiat_500-45754616.html 131bhp from the 1.4 Novitec do tuning work on Ferrari's too! :)

I would phone renault parts asap and see how much their shafts are. Never again will I buy aftermarket shafts as mine have a slight vibration at 4500rpm they were about £30 cheaper though. You could try your local motor factors, some of them may need time to order the part, including Renault. I...

25 horse power from a turbo? :S I doubt that the car's already 100bhp. A remap will get you 9 bhp http://www.nuova500shop.com/productview.aspx?PID=4&npp=12&cp=0&cat=1 so that's 16hp from a turbo and intercooler, being as the turbo'd engine will have a remap. i doubt that too. There will be a...
