One thing that really annoys me on the clio is that to put your rear fogs on you HAVE to have the front ones on... Sometimes you want one OR the other not necessarily both... Driving down the lanes to work, it's often murky, but with dipped headlights visibility is reasonable - so why won't...

Mate of mine uses Euro Car Care to look after his Citroen, and they are always very happy with the service... Prices seem reasonable too... Probably worth a go.

Spotted in car park E1 - couldn't miss the wheels really! also racing blue 182 and 2x172 (no stickers on any though...) Hope you enjoyed it!

Not sure about the clio, but I fitted a pair of sparcos to our 205GTi the other week (Using sparco tailored frames), and they sit about same as the original seats. Not too worried in that though - it has no headlining etc - so a bit more headroom than normal!

Was worried about this myself too - they've been going off constantly near me for nearly a fortnight now... Had one hit my escort (no damage, thankfully!), but they have luckily missed the clio...

Nice - almost as classy a modded motor as the rusty blue maestro I saw the other day, with huge, peeling viper stripes over the top (possibly holding it together!)

Thought it was a good review... Also the section with Clarkson and AA Gill in Iraq was good too... Scary stuff - and gave you some feel for what the troops are living in...

I don't know if it's near enough, but there's an M-plate valver (looks tidy) on a grass verge in Smalley, Derbys (Been there a few weeks) with a for sale sign in the window - think it said £1000 though...

superb... like the coach halfway round!

Excellent, Thanks Fred!

Wife came home from work last night, saying the 182 had a load of lights up on the dash, so took a look , and it appears to be low brake fluid. I'm going to top it up tonight, but just wanted to check whether they use DOT 4 or DOT 5 fluid as standard? Don't want to put the wrong stuff in...

Looking good! All the best - looks like a lot of hard work gone in to getting set up there, hope it all goes well.

I'm with direct line too... cup packs seem to be on as 'mods' but state 'fitted by factory at time of manufacture' or some similar guff... didn't seem to make any difference.. How can they even try to pull that one really - as the 182 cup, which has both packs as standard seems to be rated by...

We picked up a pair of Sparco Speed buckets from ebay yesterday for £160 without subframes (£149 each at demon tweeks) a month old and in perfect nick... now just need some subframes to bolt them in to the 205 and then get it on track! Rang DT's for subframes earlier - £35 each for the sparcos...

I would say silvervisions as a cheap fix. zorst as a 'proper' mod - just gives it the noise to match the go!

Yup, my 182 is same, although it's got better (or maybe I don't notice as much?) with age...

Now that looks fantastic! As above, how did you get rid of the house? Had thought of the clone stamp tool maybe? Great work! Looks like I've got a lot to learn!

Doh - double reply... Top work by a proper photoshopper there though!

Thanks for the comments folks - will try and clean it up (have the psd file) and sort the roofline! Think the extra low drivers side is because the road's on a hill and the drop has exaggerated it! Might pick a photo without reflections next time! Lol! Didn't think it was bad for an amateur!

LOL - thought I'd give it a proper drop!

I've been playing around in photoshop with some pics of the 182 before FCS to make some pics for wallpapers... Have managed to come up with this so far, which I'm quite pleased with... Just a bit annoyed by the jagged roof line... and reflection (how can I get rid of that?) but it would be...

Mmmm 300C... Look great on US roads, will be interesting to see how they work over here... In black with the V8 - nice (oh, and about £15K over there!)

Looks nice and rough... but will go like stink.. Love these sleepers! Mate of mine has a similar idea - has got a £50 E-reg bedford rascal fitted with a ZX9R bike motor - fantastic fun, being rear drive (and produces great flames from the race can sticking out the side!) Will get some pics...

I filled up yesterday at 99.9p/litre. Stopped, horrified when it got to £40 and didnt seem anywhere near full... (that and Id only got 40quid on me lol...)

Looking good.... Maybe when my dampers start evacuating themselves (as the 182s seem to!) I can justify it... Until then Ill just look on longingly!!! So - will we be seeing 182s challenging Freds drop soon (or has Fred made sure they wont go quite low enough lol!)

My track day project... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v730/browno/8d7325a1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v730/browno/ed5619b2.jpg Still a work in progress...

Drivers side here - although its about right. they cant even be botherred to swap the lock barrel to the drivers side for RHD let alone courtesy lights!

As above - wishbone bushes are a common ford failing - but thankfully the arms are so cheap its less hassle to swap the whole thing (and you get a shiny new bottom ball joint thrown in for free!) If its anything like the escort though, be careful of your ABS sensors as youre using the big bar...

if its the front wishbone bushes, theyre a piece of cake - just buy the whole arm for about £13 from local parts store, and theyre about an hour a side... I know as my escort has needed 5 (yes FIVE!!!) in 3 years for MOTs!!!!
