    Delay getting my Clio

    14 day cooling off period for insurance... problem solved. What is dodgy ?! Read above ! If Fred hasn't heard of the problem, there's a very large chance it doesn't exist. I've no idea what they're up to, that's up to you to find out. You won't get the truth out of them anyway. I'd be...

    Delay getting my Clio

    Deposit to me says 'off the market'. Tell them you want out, get money back, go elsewhere. Definitely smells of rat !

    Any Planned Meets in Essex

    Alright Scrooge ;) Mildly unplanned mini meet tonight was amusingly brief. Still LOLing at having to put Rob's car in reverse for him through the window. Spoon !

    Delay getting my Clio

    Why is it being driven after you've bought it ? Sirens would be going off in my head... Get your money back then find a better one on here !

    Painting 'Perry' (Plastic Trim) Clio Expression

    But why paint them black...? They'll look exactly the same !

    A good set of tyres.

    Everyone has an opinion on tyres. Some love one type, some hate them. Everyone seems to think Paradas are awful but I loved them all year round on my old Ph1. Check out online reviews (official ones (google them)) not what we think on here :rasp: V12's are good IMO, PS2s were OK but not epic...

    A good set of tyres.

    *facepalm* As I said, I was 'tootling' below the lowest normal residential speed limit. I didn't understeer into a hedge chasing a Cup. Budgets are a false economy in my experience. I put them on my own car years ago when I knew no better. First time it rained, the thing locked up and I...

    Brakes + Flashy Rear Fog Light

    Searchysearch. Every single car does this. :rasp: Driver side rear cluster will have some corrosion on the pins in the connector. Take the cluster out, give it a good clean up, make sure there is no 'fuzz' built up on the pins/connectors and plug it all back in again.

    A good set of tyres.

    Nonsense. I nearly binned the OH's 182 with crappy budgets on the back. 15/20mph on a roundabout in the wet, on my way to work. Turn in gently, SNAP oversteer. Wakey wakey, dab of oppo needed at 7am ! Ok, if you've not got the money for 'premium' tyres I can understand, but at the same time...

    Show Me Your Exhaust Tailpipes.

    Yozza FTW (but I prefer stealth...) Clean arse by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr

    That's four words.

    Painting 'Perry' (Plastic Trim) Clio Expression

    Nice idea but a bit of a random present, unless she's asked you to do it ? Black hubcaps will look like bare steelies .. just take the original ones off ?!

    How long do plate changes usually take?

    They will do it straight away. You'll still have to send the V5 off, but assuming your insurance is sorted, you can drive home on the spot with a plate change !

    How long do plate changes usually take?

    Bout 2 weeks for me too... However, 2 weeks from now, probably not the best time of year to expect a return...!

    Faster Acceleration

    If you want shock factor, I'm going to assume you're a 13 year old girl who cuts her own hair and dyes it pink, therefore you shouldn't be driving anyway... :rasp: Most people will think it's just a 'normal' Clio anyway. Leave it to those who know, to appreciate it. Unless you stuff...

    Faster Acceleration

    Decrease mass, (the car and yourself, depending on your size!) better traction, and finally more power, which as mentioned, is expensive. Did you drive it before you bought it ?! How did you think a car with an alleged 197PS weighing 1,240kgs before driver would be like to drive ? That's...

    Thinking of selling up for a nimbus 197

    Put Recaros in the 1.2 and find something to polish. :rasp:

    My clio Campus modified picture heavy...and its something abit different.

    Bumper looks good but now you have no where to put the reg plate. Good work. :rolleyes: CF bonnet wrap looks to be done well but I don't see the point. Hope your new wheels turn up soon though. Good grief ! :quiet: Wow I'm getting old.

    Any Planned Meets in Essex

    I think we're all going to Vicky's for dinner on the 25th. :approve: Shouldn't be too difficult to arrange a time/place for the after party though... :cool:

    Fitting Renault sport side skirts on a 197

    will a door of a 3 door fit in a clio? lol

    Get a tape measure ...... Well, see if you can work the rest out. :S

    No doubt, will be a cheap 172

    No one noticed it's a Cat-C ?! I'd buy it as a track car, presuming it drove straight, and I could find out what happened if it was cheap enough.

    Thinking of selling up for a nimbus 197

    Why do you want us to talk you out of it ? If you want to do it, do it. If you can't afford it, or don't want to .. don't do it. Personally I wouldn't. Don't see the appeal of the mk3's at all. :S

    modified front bumper

    The only other modified one I can recall in the ~3 years I've been on here was this abortion: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?342488-Snaps-of-lusty-under-enhanced-lighting. Didn't help that the guy was/is an utter tool with the neediest personality of the most annoying 12 year...
