Oh dear.

Having an M61 Vulcan "gatling gun" sticking out of the (would have to be an aftermarket) sunroof of a 255 V6 would "look good tbh" but it's still illegal. /extreme example Not even the Daily Mail could come up with an unfair and misleading headline for this thread... "man breaking law...

Unfortunately that's a similar quality to some of my paintwork :(

This comes up weekly, but alw- infact yup that car was in the last thread too :p

Also, you just wonderly justified the "Team Anorak" title there :)

I thought the relavence of "breakfast" in "breakfast run" meant you had a prompt breakfast (maybe 9am :rasp:) and then met up to "run" - not got up so early you get all of this done before breakfast xD Also, would some of you please get a different profile pic :rasp: write "Team Anorak" in...

FLOL, awaits epic "my plastidip won't come off and bright red/orange/green/blue/pink looks s***" thread... Anyone got any pictures of 182 wheels done in a more OEM colour? Anyone had a colour (hint hint anthracite) made to order yet?

Damn :rasp: I'll be sure to say "all Clios but Mk3 RS" next time

I'm 19 and having a 2 year NCB was the difference between me being able to buy a 182 or not being able to have one. Simple as that, the difference in insurance premium would have completely ruled a 182 out. If you use my postcode/car/age etc to compare to yours then you're an idiot (:rasp:) but...

This is the connector y'all are on about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMS-59 It's not DVI and it's not VGA, though it does look similar. You can't use a dedicated GFX card + integrated GFX unless you've got "hybrid crossfire" enabled motherboard & GFX card - which you almost certainly won't...

I loose interest when an advert calls it a "Clio Sport" and starts going on about it being faster than the "172 Trophies" (not even a "172 Trophy" FFS)

Sorry, that went straight over my head as there has not been a recent thread with them, ridiculous RR power gains and a need to call the fire service to douse the flaming :L It does look rather clean and seems a bargain for a road-legal trackday-ready clio.

Most innapropriate wheels on a Clio possibly ever. Camber looks very purposeful. Stretched tyres not so.

Make sure you ordered before the cut off point if there was one. Depends on the company. Caraudiodirect for example has a 2pm cut-off for next day deliveries.

It must have been RR'd at AmD :rasp: 48 BHP from a remap and exhaust... oh dear oh dear

Jack it up, measure the free-length of the springs, try to find the free-length of the normal springs, compare?

You know it's a tad hot when you set the climate to 25 degrees and it feels very very nice xD It's french so it's probably as accurate as AmD's RR or (sorry can't remember your name)'s 400-BHP-RS-defeating Megane 250 buuuutttt... readout said 30 degrees at the time. Nice and sunny but "sweaty"...

No wonder their BTCC car was so slow on the straights last year if they quoted 240 - 250 BHP based on their dyno...

Cruise control isn't related to the stereo :rasp: You can keep the stereo controls but it's not the cheapest of cables at around £40. The cable comes in two parts, one end is specifically for the clio and the other end is for Sony/Alpine/Pioneer etc (buy the relavent one OBVIOUSLY...) Contact...

This :rasp:

A cheap way to patch up my very-curbed 182 cup wheels? Very interesting thread tbh. Wonder how much custom colours (anthracite) would be and whether it could look glossy enough to appear OEM.

You can measure it from anywhere so long as your four refference points are the same height (or you know the difference in height of your refference points - but it'd be much easier to pick the same place e.g. front and rear of sills) I wouldn't measure ride height using the gap between the...

Subwoofers (albeit I don't have a problem with them when switched off) Bonnet bras That £6.99 "sport" badge from Halfords Excessive "lowz" Any form of racing stripe or sticker on anything but a Cup/Ford GT/Viper GTS etc Any form of stickerbombing Stupid exhausts/decats on anything that isn't a...

Exactly. Placebo effect on induction kits is huge.

All the door electricals go through a rubber boot as per usual, the catch is that said rubber boot has a loom connector one end. You physically can not feed wire through the rubber boot. You could therefore: A) Rewire the whole loom connector (would involve removing the dash and god knows what...

Should've pulled over, done the world a favour by removing the stickers and sped off. Was this in/around/vaguely-near fareham/southampton/portsmouth?

Well then you'll be very lucky to even get a quote. You do realise companies do not have to give you a quote, they can just refuse. But seriously stop being unhelpful and lazy and just get a quote then you'll know exactly how much it'll cost rather than asking people to guess!

This sort of thing makes me angry. How can people be this stupid, yet survive.

Do a quote. Then do a quote where you change your DOB to simulate the price for when you're 19 and have 2 years ncb. You will then realise it's worth waiting. For me the day that I had 2 years ncb at 19 was literally a light switch. The day before, no chance! The price literally halved...
