Good fella. Just did some programming, activated the smg shift lights, changed the warm up light sequence, altered throttle mapping etc. And ordered some kW v2's.

Lovely. Perfect mods.

Needs a power and torque hike. A box that responds the moment the paddle is pulled. There's a good car in there. Somewhere.

Lovely things. Look great, fantastic noise.

Depends what you're after. The 197 is more comfortable and feels a bit more modern. But the Trophy is just epic to drive, and will hold value better. Also slightly quicker, and significantly more economical. The gearbox isn't made of butter and brioche, which the 197's are. Exclusivity? Don't...

Knock will be the mount. 10min job. Get it done!

That's looks good. I'd have gone cup suspension, as it's more supple than previous generations (the cup suspended one I drove had a nicer ride than the r26). How are you finding the box?

Too low at the back, same as mine. Makes them look s**t +ghetto. Can't wait to get koni's on.

It's a shame they insist on the massive cut outs!

Lovely. Short plate doesn't sit well given the massive gaps either side. Great colour for the 250.

Shows how badly Renault have dropped the ball. As a total fan boy (I've owned 9), think it's quite sad that if I was in the market for a hot hatch the current clio rs wouldn't even be on the short list.

Isn't that only true if you ignore the fiesta over boost? Taking that into account and the fiesta lighter weight, doesn't it actually have the higher power to weight figure? I imagine that once the anniversary fuss has subsided the spec will filter down to become the standard 208. From reading...

Be interesting to see what difference a proper lsd would make to the fiesta. In latest EVO article, same day and same driver it lapped Bedford South 2.5s slower than the new pug 208 gti anniversary thing. 2.5s!

The meg has more grip and stability than the fiesta as standard, and the brakes are better imo. It's from a class above and performs that way. That doesn't reflect poorly on the fiesta at all, different cars at a different price point. Apples and oranges!

Drive it like you stole it from day 1. It's probably had a final post assembly test drive where it's driven harder than you ever would on the road. The tolerances these days mean running in meaningless from everything I've read. We all know the quickest cars are spanked from day one. I'd say...

March.

When it's turned off it looks similar to the oe nav minus all the buttons. Displays the nav when turned on now I've set everything up.

2 hours and a bit of swearing later

Good shout, but I'm going for the parrot asteroid. Can be made to look quite subtle, and does everything including nav.

I'm fancying some Koni adjustables for mine. And a supersprint. And a new headunit. And new seats. Etc

+1. Don't buy one for the nice added bits. Buy a solid base and go from there. Keep an eye on m3cutters, few cars recently up with decent history of subframe etc.

Don't think what I'm after actually exists.

Doesn't steam bluetooth @Sir_Dave

They've got a terrible reputation. Really inconsistent quality, zero after sales support. All of those style ones do.

Had a look, difficult to find places that sell them?

I'm amazed no one makes anything that doesn't look obviously aftermarket.

It's for an e46 m3. From memory all of the plug in bluetooth modules sound pish because the sound isn't generated by the headunit, so you can't alter bass/treble etc. Could be wrong though.

They look perfect. But no bluetooth streaming. That's a deal breaker for me.

I'd love a becker. But limited options with Bluetooth, and paying £400 plus for a used headunit with no comeback if it breaks after 6 months seems a bit silly.

No to both of those. Good head units, but I'm after something very plain. Ideally matte black, so looks as oe as possible.
