POW_Clio, yeah its newer style wheels but my car isnt an older dynamique, its an expression (no fogs, spoiler or sports seats) but its got the same 1.2 16V engine. the reason its got the dynamique wheels is because i wanted to stick to 15s and think aftermarket 15s look silly on the clio, only...

Nope this one never had a carbon bonnet but ive seen the one ur talking about on the motorway when i was goin to edinburgh

get a cup splitter for the front

id go for 15"s just for acceleration, thats why i put 15s on mine (not that its fast to start with anyway :D) plus i was only £140 for a set of 4 Hankook tyres on mine

might look good with a set of 15" dynamique wheels like mine has, you never see anyone putting them on a MK1 http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/2768/wheel3mh.jpg

right so you want to put 15" wheels on to replace the 14"? the speedo would likely be out very very slightly but you wouldnt really notice it. you might feel a slight hit on your acceleration but again im not that sure because its only a 1" difference and a different profile.

naa it had steelys on it and then the alloys went on when i got it. if you look sticking out my drive you can see the other clio driving school car with alloys, its 2 months old and only been curbed once, and that was a guy on his test. the_ferret, springs and dampers sound good, ill check...

Yeah ex-driving school car so plenty miles, and some fit birds drove it too :D how much is yours down, 60mm? ill price dampers and coil overs and see what i can afford, im still 16 for a couple of months so no rush really.

lol im the one that thinks cars look best with standard wheels but for once im gona say i like it! dont know what it is i like about it but i just think it looks different, makes it stand out!

it looks..... different. defo put it on coilovers, the wheels could be cool but its hard to tell from that picture. you could always put them on and decide for yourself if you have tyres on them.

cheers for the comments guys. considering mine is coming up for 220,000 miles its looking and running good :) 16vClio, even though a think yours is one of the, if not the best looking MK2s about im starting to go off the anthracite idea. (plus dont want to copy you ;), atleast you can say you...

Ok I know it’s a TOTALY different car but for people questioning Renaults reliability, my 1.2 16V has done 120,000 miles in 3 years and is absolutely sound, feels exactly the same as my mums 2 month old 1.2 16V apart from my clutch which is getting replaced soon. i know ill likely get...

Dont worry wheels are staying, might get them done in anthracite but im not sure yet. the bottom pic isnt working and it wont let me edit my first post for some reason so here it is http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/9498/p8170531small2xv.jpg

Cheers, its getting colour coded soon and thinking of slamming it 60mm on springs (cant afford coilovers

Since the big thing seems to be posting a pic of your car when its had a wash, then here they are :D http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/4879/p8170532small0ce.jpg http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/8485/p8170531small5bw.jpg

Got a bottle of T-cut to give my car a good polish as its got a lot of scratches and swirls on the paint. any tips on how to do it, ive never used it before. cheers

try MMV performance in stirling. http://www.mmvperformance.co.uk/http://www.mmvperformance.co.uk/ site doesnt have much info. [Edited by Martin_89 on 17 August 2005 at 10:37am]

Seen a MKII Veee in blue today at denny cross near falkirk, anyone from here?

Seen a Silver MK1 172 down the retail park in falkirk lastnight, anyone from here?

but im looking for noise too ;)

right ill drop that idea then. any feedback on the drilled airbox with K&N pannel filter idea?

yeah i was looking at the relocation kit but i dont have a lot to spend, what about fitting a pannel filter and drilling the air box ive heard about that but can it do my engine any harm? what will the noise be like compaired to the K&N? because like noel-pilot i also find my 1.2 16V nippy and...

it comes with a pipe to give you a cool air feed. my mate got a Max Power one for his corsa for £20 and was just wondering if the K&N will sound any different

Anyone got a K&N 57i induction kit on a 1.2 16V clio? im thinking of ordering one tomorrow and just want to hear peoples feedback on noise, im not bothered about power gains but if i get any then that would be nice :) anyone got any sound clips or videos with theirs? cheers

i remember hearing a quote for £3,500 to supply, fit and turbo charge a 1.6 16V lump. not sure who it was that quoted it though, ill try and find out more

if there is too much oil in it ive heard about it giving off a lot of black smoke from the exhaust, not sure if thats true though, have a look.

id stick the original lights back on. K-tec do springs to lower it, £90 for -60mm all round or £85 (i think) for -35mm

my standard speakers were impressive for standard kit once the head unit has been changed. the renault HU has a crap power output. change the head unit then the speakers or both if you can afford to!

always check it with the dipstick every so often. i didnt bother because i just used the LCD screen on the dash which always told me was full. then one day i checked my oil to find it half way BELLOW minimum!
