    Asking my insurance about lowering my car less than 5mm, said it would be an extra £1000 at 23. Was laughable. Not worth it! Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

    I masked it up but had some overspray from the first time and just used some really fine wet and dry to get the paint off. To clarify I painted the plenum twice, the first time was crap. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

    Relocating head unit 172

    So I have a head unit that I've had for a couple of years in my old car, Honestly it looks awful but its good for what I need. I like the look of the head unit in the Clio so I'm thinking of relocating the wiring to the glove box and bolting my head unit in there. Apart from losing the steering...
