Had the car a few weeks now & I'm absolutely loving it, when driving it normal the mpg it gets is pleasing compared to the 197, extra power & better on fuel lol.
Anyway I've done a couple more things to it, i bought a clio 200 steering wheel off 24JSeymour end of last year & but its just been...
Yeah i no what you mean mate, im thinking the same myself it looks abit bright now, the black wheels broke the yellow up, so the ph1 trims should do that now.
Cheers Dan.
I chopped the passenger side on down before i took them out but it still pushed the bumper out, id have to just use the...
Yeah once i get chance to take some better pics ill put them up mate, I didnt mind it on the black wheels but i just felt it looked too much like a boy racer car, to anybody who didn't no the car it was probs a boy racer yellow clio with black wheels & loud exhaust lol. I just want it to look...
Haven't really done much to this since i got the R26 so its just been sat in the garage while the weathers been bad. Ive bought a scan gauge to maybe put in my custom dash, that Im going to finally crack on with.
Ive also had the wheels done in silver, so glad I've had them done, very happy :)...

Absolutely stunning karl :approve: The steering wheel looks perfect, cant wait to get mine on.
I cant wait for the cooksports to be back in stock the drop looks perfect. I need to have a sit in your seats once the subframes are done so i can make my mind up :)
Whats next after the seats...
You dont see many on the roads now either, well round this area anyway. It looks nice in silver.
Yeah it was around that power.
A good amount of power then lol
Yeah it has been good to show the colour off
Ive seen standards at almost 100% cycle at stage 1 but alot of people run them with no problems, i thought i could just go stage 2 but i probs wont as ive got the clio for power, so it will just be stage 1.
What torque has your been running for...
Very capable cars, my friend has the same model in silver. I like them for what they are but I've never found myself wanting to own one, But im not really a big fan of jap cars though.
Yours has made very good figures mate, My friends just had abit of work done to his off the lads at evo tune...
I managed to get the rest of the F1 graphics off & imo it looks so much better. I went over the full car with iron-x too, but it wasn't too bad tbh. Then give it a wash & used some wheel cleaner to get all the bedded in brake dust off the wheels.
I also fitted a spare aux lead i had so i can...
The last place i worked we sent them to a local place & got them done but i cant remember the name.
Haha good going mate bet your happy with that, I've been getting 30 since monday but thats been due to having abit of fun
Cheers Simon that would be great, i could get them done before it...
Hope you get good news then mate so you dont have to get a dirty diesel.
Thanks Joe it really is a nice looked after car, it was the only colour i wanted one in & I'm glad i stuck to my guns. Ha i no i dont like waiting so thought id try get some stuff done straight away.
Cheers Greg, do...
Im really happy with the mpg up to now, i haven't bought it to get silly mpg out of it, i would have bought a diesel for that, but it is good to get decent figures when driving steady. Do you still think yours is going for a diesel mate?
Easy just kept it at 70 all the way home, in used to driving the 197 in eco mode all the time & just did the same with this :) what did you say you get of yours on i run? I cant remember what you txt me now. Cheers mate i love it.
Cheers mate
Thanks dude, if you read abit further up though I've already ordered a R26r spoiler the day before i picked the car up lol, just waiting for it to come then ill get it painted :)
Spoke to my dad & he said he's fitted quite a few so it's in his hands lol.
I picked the car up on Saturday & on the way home I stopped off at rs tuning to see Paul, got the service booked stamped for the 197 from when I had the belts done, & told him I wanted the sunflower mapping in April...
ha really that's good to know mate, you telling me that will just make me look for a decat now haha.
Ill have a look on there now for it, although I'm sure my dad has fitted a few I'll take to round his save me a job ha.
Bloody hell I bet that was loud mate haha
Ive thought about a decat but I'll just go with centre box chop for now, maybe go for a sports cat in the future to save the hassle of looking for a friendly mot place or swapping it over mot time, can't be bothered with that no more lol.
Well the...
Yeah I've seen the hole that's left but I will just bung it & touch it over with a LY touch up pen, it's a small price to pay for such a good spoiler I I think the r26 is lacking.
I like the extra noise it makes removing the back box, but I no that whistle would annoy the hell out of me :(
Nice change to the 182 mate, Had a soft spot for these a few years ago in Arden blue. There was a silly powered silver one at rs tuning about a year ago, sounded unreal.
My ears are shot now anyway off the sunflower lol.
Spot on i shall be in touch :)
£160 painted that is a good price, ill get paul who painted the sunflower to paint the spoiler for me & hopefully he wont charge me much...i hope lol.
Ill have a look on forges website i was also looking at...
