Approach them with one hell of a big baseball bat! You seriously want them to bend down and kiss arse for such a monumental feck up! A full tank of fuel and some accessories of your choice sounds like a start to me, depends on how much you wanna crucify them! (may I suggest wind deflectors...

water and thats about it, just polish the screen with rainx once every 2 weeks and nothing sticks to it! :)

I have had a 1.2 since January last year and have found it a top little car. You need to lower it because it handles a little erratic on the limit in standard form. The standard alloys are pants and the tyres are plain crap so may aswell change them asap. 17s fit with no problems at all but...

nice wheel choice, pity they are going on another bloody Saxo! Used to like them until they outnumbered all other cars at 10 to 1! Couldnt own a car where all mods I wanted to do have already been done, by about 2000 people, thats why I went for the Clio, something a bit different and can be...

isnt it just a load of b****cks about dragging crap through the fuel lines, I mean we all have plastic tanks nowadays, not rusty crappy ones of the odl days! Plus there is a filter there to stop any coming through, aint there? Diesels shouldnt be ran dry cos you have to bleed the entire...

the mot is a load of crap. Point in fact, car passed MOT on the Tuesday, sold it to a mate on the Friday, he crashed it on the Saturday. When taken to a Mini yard we put it on bricks and took the wheels off, then watched in amazement as the car sank into the bricks! Yeah, that car was safe!

the seats in the cup look identical to those in my Dynamique? am I right? would be a bit pissed if they were! I like alacantara/leather.........wish I could afford either cup or 172 atm!

there is a pre registered 52 plate 172 in the the same colour at my local dealers for £12.5K and Im seriously tempted. Just wish they did the 172 in gold, would look superb! Nice car BTW

what a boring thing to argue about

contact Evo in the north east (Peterlee) and they do superb wheel and tyre packages for next to nothing. If I can find the number I will post it but it is normally in the back of all the mags somewhere (its a yellow/orangish ad)

Is anyone going? Seeing as how there aint many meetings in the north east was wondering if there are many Clios making the pilgrimage? Hope to see peeps there (wont be racing a 1.2 though - sick of breaking them). Ill be in the Gold Dynamique if u wanna say hi, come over.....

i think its ok to be honest. each to their own. I wouldnt do it but I can see why he has and it IS different from following the crowd? Fair play to people like him that have the balls to be different

quote: Can Tom or someone give me an estimate how low a 1.2 would be for that same sort of arch/wheel gap? -Rob Mine is 35-40mm and the same height with the same wheels on...

the scenics have pastic wings too, think the meganes aswell. I thought I had dented my car the first time I lent against them and they moved!

its a 40mm drop, same height as mine. Plus it also has the best wheels on in the best colour! ;)

well i was offered 5K for mine standard (13k on clock) and 5.5K with wheels and lights left in, think he wanted the stereo too but he can jump. Thats for a Jan 2002 51 plate dynamique. Best keeping the cars for at least 24 months so u loose less, 1st year is a killer for depreciation!

i thought the uk were only getting the two options though?

Managed to (genuinely) by mistake hit tghe limiter in the Clio today, thing is, I was in 5th! Didnt actually realize I was going fast until it kicked in! Now I wasnt looking at the speedo cos I was too busy overtaking a very unhappy BMW (now I know why) but the other half rekons it was 125 (felt...

Reg Vardy Renault in Sunderland and Stoneygate (near Houghton-le-Spring) are both spot on, pity Felling Reg Vardy Renault are a bunch of w4nkers! and that is where the body shop is :(

I have the OZs aswell and am still chuffed with my purchase over 6 months on, plus they still look brand new with no pitting of paint faults, anywhere! (apart from where the missus kerbed one!:@)

Wasnt someone saying a while ago that if u get a bigger intercooler and chip for the DCi they can see 105bhp very easily? Sounds like fun to me, actually wish I had bought a diesel as the 1.2 16v is crap! No speed, just nippy, but doesnt pull well. Then again I have a 1.7dti Astra that I pilot...

big power cap or new battery and diesel alternator?

When i damaged my alloy due to a feck off big pot hole the council sent me a cheque for a new one. If the damage is caused by negligence or incorrectly situated/ built speed bumps you have a right to claim from the local council. if they exceed the legal height limit you also have a LEGAL right...

Just completed the day from hell! Left home at 7am this morning to go to Greenford in London, 300 mile and 5 hours later got there. 2 minute turnaround and 4 and a half hours back and Im home, 613 miles later (I live near Newcastle. Im bloody knackered! NEVER AGAIN! :confused:

Tell renault to fook off! They will blame anything they can instead of their fault product. Did they happen to show how a wire was cut or damaged ina very convenient place? Thats what I have seen in the past. Thats why I always stay with my car when it is having work done, that way if they have...

matblack, that would be the Lotus Carlton you are thinking of there. probably the finest car ever built. Anything the Police try to ban is good in my book! What was it, 180mph fully loaded up? They made the tank on them small enough so that before the diff could over heat you would run out of...

easpecially when you look at the top spec esapce, now that is nice. Kinda makes the avantime a very specialized car

could that not just be your bearings? Most cars have a slight "toe in" at the back. Look at an MR2 and its different one side to the other on every one I have seen.

if that has been lowered then I must have been given 60 mm springs cos mine is sooo low at the back its scary

did the people who have already had it done get the black sections rubbed down first? or buy 172 door bumps? Just wondered if anyone had gone the whole hog and done it so called "properly"? Definately gonna get it done in the summer for the shows, it NEEDS doing on a gold car
