LOL @ Daniel's post with the white text! looking good beemer heed, good luck tomorrow

had to look at the rear for 30 seconds to make my mind up!! but i love that, definately keep the ph1 rear lights though. not sure if a cup spoiler would finish that or ruin it! like the black bit on the front bumper that looks awesome good work!

pro photographers use Nokia 808's ;)

id imagine they are probably the same but a higher flow rate on the 172 as id imagine they probably use a similar or same fuel tank etc being a mk2 chassis

cheers for the offer mate but funny enough i actually have one too in my garage haha!

the only time ive ever saw recaros wear out is ones that arn't leather unless they are ancient leather ones cracking. Its due to the lack of foam in the side bolsters on the current ones (what ever they are called) meaning there is no give in the material when your arse passes by it, few guys in...

Must get Turinis and Coilovers!!!

always been the case with recaros, i dont undertand how they can only make seats yet still cant make ones that stand up to the test of time lol

pretty solid cars/engines, personally id look for a dci106 or if you are set on a 138 then try and find one with a cabasse stereo and climate control as there is loads about.

Recaro's are a funny one, they are awesome, driving wise i would never order one without them however i am the most careful guy ever getting in and out them and still mine were starting to show a bit of wear and that was with my old dear getting in and out it to move it out the drive maby 1 or 2...

i dont see why you wouldnt go through the insurance as someone mentioned above, surely the guy you hit has damage too thats going to need repaired? probably lucky if you get a £600 payout once your excess is deducted when they write that off!

yep definately without a heartbeat, the 200 is more fun than a ph1. or any mk2 RS for that matter. MK2s are by no means bad they are awesome fun, but times move on and then 200 is imo more fun.

Clio 200 is in a completely different league from a ph1 172, ph1's are great value for money but the 200 is better in almost every way other than fuel consumption lol

im with gaz, R26 and 4k in the bank however if a 200 is the car you want then id go with sir_dave and ben81, wait till the mk4 comes out!

i wouldnt be letting millage dictate your purchase look at this... http://www.arnoldclark.com/used-cars/renault/clio/2.0-16v-renaultsport-200-3dr/2011-(61)/ref/arncz-8173/ 13,000 miles, full service history. what they forgot to add onto the advert is the fact its on its 2nd engine and even...

renault warranty isnt worth the paper its printed on either, or atleast the monkeys doing the work are worth less than that!, id stick a standing order into a savings account if i was you and you are worried about potential costs!

55 plate will have no rear speakers unless its a Dynamique or higher.

RS tuning probably, they seem to be the guys to do it when using 182 injectors. not sure when yet, the budget tyres all round are shockingly bad, you cant use full throttle in 2nd gear in the wet they are that bad lol so no point in anymore power yet, was considering just replacing them but due...

my old dear done this to one of my turinis when i was 17 and chunk out the tyre, she paid to get them all refurbed and a pair of tyres on them!

yeah im looking forward to getting it above the 140bhp mark too! todays job was a rubbish one, stripping the dash top to replace a blown bulb behind the heating controls, 2 bulbs delivered for £1.99 from ebay and just replaced both, job done!

gearbox will fit and engine will mount, a s**t load of hastle to get it running though wouldnt just be a straight swap wiring wise

i was £400 a month in the 200, now about £180 in the Twingay

im holding off for a 2/3yr old meg 265 personally.

yeah thats what i mean though with the new clio 4 RS coming out, imo buying a 200 now you really dont know where the market is going to go so i would be making sure i was prepaired to keep it to the end of the term incase i had to.

i had a poke about one in the flesh last week, wasnt impressed at all with it, lack of 5 pot noise for me is a massive loss, even if this one does have more power and better mpg, lucky enough im not interested in owning one lol! (id have a previous shape RS or ST though!)

yes i know you dont, ive chopped in both my pcp cars after a year because of circumstance changes but small deposit, low payments on a depreciating car can end up a problem, wasnt a problem on my GT DCi as it didnt depreciate quicker than i was paying it off, the 200 did though. leaving me with...

this is why i mentioned above if you are going PCP you must be able to see yourself in it for the full term and be able to keep to the millage

whats the millage limit on it and what do you plan on doing with it at the end, if you can stay under the millage and are willing to pay £3200 a year for the benefit of a new car to just hand it back at the end then its not a bad option however imo that deal is massively over priced i paid a...

no one has pushed this area due to the standard turbo not having enough puff for high rpm big power, i wouldnt imagine its designed to take much more than the standard 6250rpm never mind with an extra 50%+ more power

the last thing you want on a big heavy mk3 clio fitted with a TCE engine is a turbo that doesnt spool quickly, lets not forget that the reason Renault made the TCE engine was because the 1.2 16v doesnt pull the mk3 about very easily!, and if you fit a turbo that isnt starting to spool up till...
