Thousands of threads.. have a search. Hankook V12 for me though.

I can tell it's been lowered but they just look like toy wheels. I've just upped the profile from 40 to 45 on my 17s as they looked like coasters !

I like you.

Are they 16s or 17s ? Get some fatter profile tyres !

Those alloys look utterly horrific. Speak to your insurance about getting alloys before you buy anything ! Just leave it alone.. concentrate on not becoming a statistic !!

They look like toy wheels... :S Needs lowering by about 3ft and it might pull it off.

Wut ? :S Lowering springs on standard (old) shocks normally leads to problems as the stock shock isn't designed to work at that height. £1000 of coilies aren't going to be crashy, harsh and give a bad quality ride. £200 ones slammed to the deck however, might not be the smoothest ride in...

Whups (he said rolling the chair back slowly to find out what his iMac is plugged into) :o .. mine's on a chunky surge protector beasty !

7. Clean inside, outside is polished and sealed so that'll do 'til winter. Don't go to shows, always sideways in the snow, bikes on the roof, stuff in the boot. Comfy cruiser and angry rally car when needed.

The timing 'could' be out if it feels slow compared to other RS Clios !? Is it completely standard ? When were the belts last done ? How many miles and how old's the car ? These things do have more of a kick between 5 and 7k. Max power should be around 6.6k... My old one felt awful...

Recognise the plate... Nick_P's old one maybe ?!

Ooft. Happened to my Grandad's place a few years back. He was out, came home and felt the static buzz in the house, obviously had no idea what happened. Neighbour said there was a huge white ball like you describe.. blew him off his chair !! Fried most electrical stuff in his house...

Up to s5 ep 11 on EZTV dot it ! Also on Sky Atlantic at the moment too..

So, he's going to get to work on a smile ? The automotive industry is going to fall over tomorrow if that's all it takes to get places as easily as it does in a car... It's well looked after but actually he hasn't really got a clue what's been done to it ? Too much to list ? Really ?! No...

What's their hourly rate ? If it's £60 an hour, then you've not done bad. If it's £15, then you need to wonder what they were doing ! Didn't you get a quote before hand..?

Always best to use someone else's old banger to practise on eh ;) FLOL @ using that beast !! Good work :approve:

RTFM Scotty ma boy!

Brilliant. Rather glad my bus has OEM tow points front and rear! No f**king about FTW.

Surely the intelligent will have left the solid towing eye in the boot for such an occasion ? Or are the daft TRS ones a socket-set job to install ?!

Fair enough ! Well I used an old slightly knackered polishing pad (white Sonus or Menz, I can't remember) with some of this 3M stuff and got rather impressive results, doing everything wrong/fast/billybufferspecial on the OH's old PoS Polo she was selling.. to the following in one...

Have you attacked it with what you've already got ?! Give it a go, you might be surprised.. couple of hits, and a bit of filling from black hole/amigo and you might be there. If it's really bad, step up to the green 3M pad perhaps ? I'm sure there'll be some experts along soon to tell...

Corrosion on the light cluster terminals. French electrics....

Those daft backwards spoilers look worse every time I see one. Apart from that... It'll do ;)

Where have you gotta get towed from/to?

You think that an assessor would not know what a standard Clio airbox looks like and what £20 worth of Chinese special eBay airfilter looks like ?! I'm also intrigued what a 'performance cambelt shaft' is ? Basically, anything more than a Magic Tree in there, your insurance will know about...

Ignition off .. hold the button on the end of the LH stalk in .. ignition on (don't start engine). All the clocks should dance, click the button now to scroll through until it says 8L or however much you have left in the tank, as it thinks.

Next time, go see Fred. Remember, call.. don't PM !

Get a more flattering pic. The one you took before is fine - replicate that with the turinis on...

Tidy !!!
