Tbh, I think you should swap to a Corsa SXi 1.2, they have 2HP less but 5Nm more torque! Phwoar! And they are a FULL .6 seconds faster to 60mph than a 1.2 16v Clio! What a beast!!!
Naturally you will understeer into a primary school at the first bend, and they are s**t to drive. But hey, you...
It's your first car. Get some bloody experience at driving before you start dicking about. That's what your first car is about.
You could put the money you're going to waste on your nearly 10 year old poverty spec Clio (money that I wouldn't chuck at my ultra-low mileage 172) into a high...

The OP is a lost cause. It's fine though, because he'll soon barrel roll his heap of s**t through a primary school and write it off any way. Purely down to his superb role as an amateur chassis engineer.
HIDS are soon to be basically illegal soon due to new MOT regs. Only factory ones will be allowed. Also unless you're going to buy the proper projector lights from a Clio 172/182 you will just blind all oncoming traffic. You're cementing your position as a bit of a numpty to be honest.

Nope. Pretty much any car on the 2nd hand market that doesn't has the engine it rolled out the factory with is worth sod-all 2nd hand. Screams of abuse.
