my 1.2 16v has done 117,000 (not a typo actually ment 117,000) miles in 3 years and is still running as well as the day it left the factory :) the 1.2 16v engine was built to a budget too, so i would say the 2.0 16v F4R lump will be more reliable but having all that power asks for people to...
my mum had ordered her 1.2 16v extreme 4 from local renault dealer but had to wait about a month and a half because it was a new special edition blue colour or some crap like that, so they phoned us to tell us it was coming in that week, we went to pick it up and there was a nice new silver...
how much more mean looking is the 172 over the dynamique when you see them parked beside each other, im not a fan of putting 172 bumpers and wings on a 1.2 but that picture does actually make me consider it for my car!
that front bumper that the big yin posted is one of only 2 front bumpers ive seen that i would consider puting on my car if someone was going to supply and fit them for free. the other is one with extreme on the front grill, it looked ok too.
theres a dark blue clio going about here with that...
i would seriously consider it but at 17 im never going to be able to insure it or even handle it to be honest lol plus mum would moan at me for puting another car on the drive lol
if you can afford it get coilovers if not then like jonaldinho said get the apex -60mm kit K-Tec have it for £270, lowering it would be my first priority
that is total mint! might see if i can pick up a cheap valver in the summer to give me somthing to work on over the summer holidays. not really got the space and would struggle badly to insure it but would be nice.
john, love that bottom pic you said it was only at about 20mph too didnt you?
you know if arnold clark grangemouth is any good? getting really pissed off with stirling now! lol
ive got Hankook K102 tyres on mine and it grips brilliant, only got them because my mate works at a tyre garage and could get me them really cheap but im impressed with them, throwing it into roundabouts in the wet it grips well.
(clio__Chris, could you PM me that pic of your car in your...
as long as your above the minimum mark your ok, when my oil level sensor thing broke and the dashboard was telling me my oil was ok i was actually running half way under the minimum mark and the bottom of the dipstick for god knows how long! dont know if it caused any damage but it didnt do...
should make a nice difference to the handling and ride :D
would still like a photoshop of my car picture in my first post btw for anyone that can do it, cheers
im trying to think what clutch smells like again, id know it if i was to smell it but just cant remember! what model clio is it (MK2 1.2 16v etc) and how many miles has it done?
wont bother with them then lol.
you on standard dampers with just springs?
what a minter though yours is probably my favourite Dynamique on here, especially in that 2nd pic.
holy s**t thats low as f**k! :D cant wait now, might be a bit of bother on speed bumps with 15s though!
also.. that a dynamique with xenons? easy enough to do? how much it cost you in total?
cheers
could someone whos good with photoshop drop this about 60mm just to give me an idea how low its going to be when my suspension goes on, cheers

ive got the K-tec relocation pipe on mine with a pipercross filter. i got mine second hand but it was defo worth the cash.
the engine revs a lot easyer and when you press the accelerator you get a loud whoosh noise as it first sooooks in air! then on full throttle when driving when it hits...
how do you find out the litres per hour on a car with no trip computer, when i press the milage reset button when its in test mode or what ever it stops and goes back to normal.
thats true actually parking my car it sounds like any normal clio so i dont get funny looks, hammering it up the motorway sliproad and the induction kit is roaring :D
got to love my mums opinion on the induction kit too "why would you pay to make your car sound like it has a hole in your...
if your tight for cash £100 or somthing for a peco and they sound alright but ive heard the clio ones hang a bit low on them?
personally im going for a 3" round stainless cat back when i get the cash
i wouldnt put a 182 bumper on a DCI if thats what your thinking about doing, then the CTR drivers will go on about how much faster there civic is compaired to a 182 when they beat you from the lights lol
number 1 i wouldnt put on any clio, DCI or 182
