Nice colour, i'd lower, standard silver 172 wheels, rs grill and fogs.

BUT remember quite a few insurance companies dont like it if you go further than 50mm, thats if your going to tell them.

Just done it yesterday, dropped 40mm on standard shocks, i cant decide if its too harsh, on normal roads its ok until you hit the potholes and then you know about it, but long motorways should be ok since the surface is usually quite even. As for messing about on the twisties, it is harsh but...

I presume its limited slip differential and for the win.

Bought the car with p6000's on, ace tyres, great grip but all 4 needed changing, i was low on funds and went budget, got 4 pace tyres fitted for next to nothing and regretted it ever since. When i say no grip i mean it, i nearly lost the back end into a building that night going around a corner...

So chris, you fancy going to a casino one day :D

Can you get 200, thought it was 195 or 205, mine are on 16's with car lowered 40mm.

Running on 205's atm with no spacers or rubbing, checked properly last night while it was over the pit. Dont think i could go much wider though, not without spacers.

Think it is, i wont rant about postcodes again since ive already done it once on this forum and many times all around the net.

Dont understand why everyone else gets dirt cheap insurance but i just dont, none of my mates do either, my mate is paying £2500 on a corsa sxi. There is no way i can get insurance cheaper, ive tried phoning, online, going through my dads company with family discount and got no where.

I had a quote saved with bell that expires on wednesday, did a fresh quote with same details and it was £200 more, checked and double checked and they were identical so ive bought the one at the old price, finally going solo away from my mum's policy as she needs the bonus for her renewal due to...

I'd also be interested in this now my car is low.

Why would you swap the clio for a mazda?

Mine does same, apparently fan belt needs adjusting, doing it tonight. EDIT: Just noticed you said only on full lock, could be cv boot leaking?

The postcode thing annoys the hell out of me, and thankfully insurers are starting to stop using it. My postcode is high risk, simply because they only go on the first section and that spans a wide area of halifax, from million pound mansions to bad council estates, i live in a very good area...

I reckon insurance company wont care or realise aslong as you fit something that could of come with the car.

Agreed! At first i thought it would look crap but it doesn't!

And the radio auto turns off after so long too, my fuse blew when my mum thought the accessory socket was a coin holder :banghead:

Thats impressive, are you the policy holder? What am i doing wrong which puts mine upto £5k with the same company.

Dont need fully comp on that car imo, wouldn't be worth claiming with the inevitable high excess.

Did you get some paint in the end? Anyone know how much this colour is at renault? Or if halfords mix a good match and how much? Thanks Mike

Same happend to me when i was on very poor budget tyres. Since i got rid of them it stopped doing it, so my conclusion is lack of grip?

I poked a hole in the rubber gromit where the bonnet release cable goes, took a while to pierce it but its a nice tight seal.

Advantage with bell over the rest of the admiral group is you can get any other car cover for young drivers.

Well my first year was with quinn, didn't charge anything when i passed but this was arranged when we took out the insurance. Change of car to the clio didnt cost a thing, friendly staff but got a stupidly cheap quote from more than so moved to them.

Surely its the other way around? Anyway, i was concerned about the clutch, so i got it changed (cost £60 in parts, free labour from my uncle) and its exactly the same and the old one wasnt too bad when it came out. Plus it was a PITA to change, subframe has to come off which can be hard work on...

Oops wrong section, can a mod move it pls. Cheers Mike

Can i use my old 15" steely as a spare with my 16" 182 wheels, or should i buy a spare 182 wheel or find a 16" steely (if they exist?). Thanks Mike

Did you prep the badge? Or just spray plastic primer straight on? Look great anyway!

Dads an insurance manager, asked him and he says its a load of crap and refuse to pay. What company is it? Also i agree with the insuring in you own name from day 1, wish i had done it as i would have 2 years ncd now and would be in a 172.
