I completely missed this thread first time around.
Congratulations. A fine purchase.
Superb car for your money in my opinion, one of the best in that price bracket and certainly a step away from the norm.
:D
As far as I'm aware you shouldn't lose any power. A silencer is simply that... a silencer. A well designed mid pipe silencer should not cause or alleviate any form of restriction.
I think one of the main things here, is if the OP is going to enjoy the power delivery of the Turbo. You should try and drive one.
Simply put, I dislike turbo power (my VX included). Making swift progress is easy, but for me it's not exciting or enjoyable. The only thing that makes it...
Ron, top mounts are unscrew off and screw back on. They're ME proof, and I'm about as mechanical as Mr Blobby.
As long as you leave the wheels on the floor they're easy and worst case is you'll need an allen key (6mm iirc) in the top to hold them steady. Worst case is if someone has done the...

As the nice chap above will probably agree, Clio is peanuts to run, in comparison to his other toy. Much like mine lol.
Only difference in 1.2 and 2.0 in my opinion is tax and cambelt. Even insurance for me is the difference of a couple of hundred at most.
Anything you don't want painted lol! If doing it in situ, go to town with the masking tape, newspaper and dust sheets. Everywhere, seriously. In this wind you don't want stray paint flying around.
