There is a Clio saloon.....and no its not a sodding photoshop! Known as the RNA

Not a big Monaco fan TBH....doesn't really look special enough. Buffs up well tho....and those wheels are growing on me...its just im too used to seeing them on my mums Mk3 Dynamique!

Love it....if mine was to be stripped out and track biased i think this would be the template for it! Just one thing i don't like....the Boys On Tour sticker. Get rid!

Looking good Chris! Didn't know you went for the blue suede (shoes?) patches!

I don't think its that big a deal to get rid of them. Ben sent me the fixings with a detailed diagram of how they should be bolted down and there is no mention of those grommets! All they are is an interface between the old seats and the floor.....whip them out and the subframes will be bolted...

Why? I took mine out! Makes them sit even lower!

Its a party in his pants.

Just a thought...did you guys remove the plastic mounts that sat between the old seats and the floor? The ones that were under the carpet....

That chargecooler is a PWR one.

Gonna keep mine the standard height for now....they are lower than the standard seats, but granted they don't sit you really really low. May have a play around with them at a later date tho.

Yeah they are a huuuge improvement over the standard perches. Going out for a drive in a bit....get the driving position perfect...and find some roundabouts.

Yes i've driven one....i remember it like it was yesterday...a black Mk 2 V6. Twas lovely. I mostly remember the sills being foooking huge and that pretty much EVERYONE i passed couldn't take their eyes off it.

The spacers do come out BUT....you will find the slider handle fouls against the subframe if you do take them out. I tried this morning and it doesn't look or feel safe because the handle is sitting on the subframe, thus it unlocks the slide mechanism a touch. Pics of mine in! They feel miles...

Mine are in!! Ben's bolt package turned up at 10am and lunch started at 1pm...they were finished by 2.15! Ben i have to say you are a legend among the rabble....bolts were spot on and the diagram looked like you took alot of time over it!! Can't thank you enough mate!:star::approve:

All those other tuners have had too good an innings if you ask me....GGR's time is now. I wonder if he will go ahead with that mid-engined jobby....could be prone to the leg spin mind you.

Quite right. They were prone to getting run out, and were always getting caught off leg stump. Was definitely a fabrication issue.

There was talk of an optional beard trimmer as standard....and obviously red leather interior with willow wood trim on the dash.

Details are shady and nothing confirmed....rumours of 333bhp tho.

The GGR is pure hearsay Chris....lets not get people too excited just yet.

Well i reckon they'll keep it under wraps until just before the Mk4 comes out....a limited edition 197 Trophy.

Hmmmmm....i'd not touch a MK1 Exige...i know how bad they can be. And there aren't many left in unmolestered form! I'd be very interested in seeing a Ph-Fred 197 Cup. The version Renault SHOULD have made. Then again i can't see it being that much cheaper to run than the V6...both like a drink.

Im very sorry but that was the best Brad Pitt twang i could muster....

So that would go: Waannaa wann naaaine sevan. Widdout da daaas....widdout sidth geear...bracks ah steeeleees....in periwinkle bluuue. Wid a toebaaaah...and room in daa back fah me maaaa and da daags.

Correct.

Reeeeally?! Top stuff! Will be doing that to the drivers seat tomo then!!! Cheers for the tip Gaz!

Ahhh ok. I was beginning to worry it wouldn't start again or something..... Passenger seat is in for now....with temp bolts until Ben's goody bag arrives tomo. Looks and feels gooood....the real test is how the drivers seat feels tho!

s**t...no...is that bad?

Passenger one is going in now....need to know, does the pretensioner and seatbelt mechanism bolt onto that L bracket on the side of the subframe? And did you manage to use the existing plastic trim to cover the mechanism?

Monies to be paid upon arrival??:rasp:

Well so much for the straightforward hassle free swap.... As i've said already, one seat has a 3/4 inch tear on top....that im gonna get neatly stitched by me mum...shes handy with a needle...plus its just the passenger seat. The plastic trims im gonna get sent to me....can't be too hard to...
