plans: mon/tues of week coming having doors and bonnet smoothed.
dont know in what order but: tints, new alloys, quad lights, ktr kombat kit dunno what else at the moment
recent pics...
that reminds me
the mechanic who road tested my car after the service on monday obviously likes music too, i got in and the volume was seriously cranked up and the clutch pedal was soft, dread to think what he was doing.
bit suss though, never had it road tested after a service before...
Si.
does it ever catch you out?
i keep hitting it in 2nd and its a tad annoying, might help if i didnt have my music on so loud so then i could hear the engine.
Si.
if they know their cars then "clio 16v" if they dont then it doesnt matter what i say, as soon as "clio" comes out of my mouth they laugh and talk about it being a girls car so i just shrug and walk away.

having the doors smoothed (bump strips only) and bonnet debadged + all those stone chips sorted for £200 which seems reasonable to me, on Moday/tuesday next week! :D

well ive got a little further... i now have left and right controls working for both mirrors but up and down just isnt happening.. im sure ive tried every combination, the most i can get is when i press up the mirrors click... is my only option now a multimeter then? Something odd is going on...
only work on the rear that i have had done is the smoothing of where the wiper was, that cost me £100. It was already debadged when i bought it.
Ive been quoted £160 to do the doors.
Si.
all i can get to work is make the mirrors come to and go away from the car and even this is wrong because thats on the up/down control.

youre not gonna make a 1.2 go much faster though mate, its not worth even trying i dont think, my last car was a 1.2 so i know the lack of power can be frustrating but i saved up for something faster.
Si.
1.4 8v (RT) is 75 or 80bhp depending on year.
1.6 16v (mk2 only) is 110bhp
1.8 8v Rsi is 110bhp
1.8 16v is 137bhp
as for insurance groups it seems to depend upon the insurance company, if youre keeping it standard try tesco theyre usually good on standard cars.

was just a sugestion ;)
main reason im having it done is that it was leaking and the previous owner did nothing about it, so its gone rusty, the paint had bubbled up so it was going to cost almost as much to repair the rust as it was to totally smooth it over and seeing as i never use the...
