I've had mine on for around 8000miles now. Would highly recommend, it makes the car sound as it should from the factory without getting boomy on the motorway.
I want 15's for trackdays etc, easier and cheaper to get decent tyres.
I have been offered a set of pro race 1.2's for £250 with tyres (only 12 months old and 1000 miles!), but they are et45, just wanted to make sure they would fit before i buy them.

Best thing to do with the 1.2 is lose as much weight out of it...
Dont forget to change the oil filter every time. Whats the use in changing your dirty oil, to then contaminate your new, clean oil with a dirty filter?
The sump is 4.8 litres as well, really stupid size but thats Renault!
