Well, at least they caught the little sh*ts, that doesn't happen often. The worst bit about it though is, the little f**kers will probably get off pretty lightly. They might spend a few months inside if they are really unlucky. This is why the little f**kers do such things, they know if caught...

They certainly have become pretty popular, there are loads of Clios where I live. I know mine didn't come with an alarm (it's an import) but have most UK Clios got alarms? I really do think this is something car manufactures (sp?) should put on 'all' their cars as 'standard' now, being as...

I totally agree with you there! I'd much rather have the 225 and some extra dosh to play with than spend it all on a 197. Something tells me they are not going to sell many at that price, but seems like the 225 will sell pretty well.

Not my cup of tea, but as Fred says, could be a nice little project for someone.

Is it me, or does it appear that Clios are a big target at the moment? I think this is the 3rd Clio ive heard about getting nicked in as many weeks (two from CS).

I wouldn't wish death on anyone, but I totally understand what you mean. I hope the car gives them hell and well and truely teaches them a lesson.

Thieving b******s!! :mad: I'm really sorry to hear your baby has been nicked. It makes me really angry to think that some little s**t can just f**k off with someones car. I have just got mine heavily alarmed and also have a nice metal bar tucked neatly just inside my front door just in case...

I'm really glad you are getting it fixed Bubbles. It was a little silly of them to deny it, but at least they accepted it in the end and are going to put it right. Nice one, good on you for sticking to your guns. I had a cd/mp3 player, multi cd changer and an alarm fitted to mine on saturday...

Thats a real positive view you have there! :rasp: Lmfao

Yes yes, come on come on. Pics pics piiiiics! I took loads when I first got my car (3 years ago now), over 200 of them infact, from every angle I could think of and in various different locations. I unfortuntely had a fatal problem with my hard drive (hadn't got around to putting them on...

Well unfortuntely some people can be extremely dishonest, and claiming for something you 'did' receive is totally wrong! I know it seems harsh that the majority of the general public blame the couriers, but lets face it, they 'need' to blame someone, especially if the 'Courier service' deny...

I wasn't saying the driver 'had' taken them. We are all speculating as to what 'could' have happened. There will be many ideas coming from us all, and we could 'all' be wrong. It's just speculation, please don't get upset or offended as no offence was meant.

There is one thing that concerns me about this. 'If' indeed the other 3 parcels have been left behind in their (UPS) warehouse/storeroom, I would have thought they would be easy to spot, being as how they were packaged. There surely can't be many boxes like yours just laying around unclaimed...

I would say ( to be fair) that even if the guy went over the top, it is reasonably understandable, although if I was him I would be more cross with the mrs/gf. I do agree with Rip3z, that if I thought someone had not been on the level with me , I would be pretty furious too! I would however...

I have been checking into this guy on ebay. He has bought various bits and pieces for cars, including Audi wheels and VW bonnet and wings and even bought an escort. The feedback he has got from the sellers is pretty darn good. Infact, according to all the comments as a 'buyer' he has recieved...

Why would anyone keep changing their ebay id's? Sounds abit dodgy to me.

Hahahaha, pmsl@ JJ ;)

Wow, and another lucky bugger! Hope you get it soon. :D

How lucky is it to have a 197 as a company car? Bloody lucky! Nice going. I gather that means , all insurance paid for, petrol, any new bits you might need in the future. Talk about land on your feet. I'd be griinng like a cheshire cat. I do hope, that although it's a 'company' car, you will...

I am indeed in Surrey. The reason it had its 1st mot and service at the same time is because the milage is very low, only just clocked 14k recently. My last Clio had only just done 17k when the darn thing got written off, that was not long after the 1st mot too. :dapprove: Oh and before you...

I took my car to my local garage that ive been using for over 21 years. The car had its 1st mot and its 1st service, total cost £142.

rory182; I totally agree a 'good' tyre can indeed save your skin. I was however trying to consider this guys budget. It is pretty dodgy to base your decision on how a tyre looks, and again, like you said, you have to consider weather conditions ( not to mention the way you drive). I personally...

If you don't want to get wider wings (can't say as I blame you, lots of hastle) but indeed want to kit her up, you could always look on the following link to find a kit you like, then do a search on ebay to see if anyone has one going cheap. Just an idea for you. http://www.body-kit.co.uk...

:eek: JMR: I just noticed the bit at the bottom of your post about the cost of replacing the wheel. £424? Bloody hell!! I sure hope mine stays the way it is for a good while yet then. Jeeeeeeees!

I appear to be pretty lucky with my steering wheel at the moment (keeping fingers crossed) as mine still appears to be as good as new, apart from one tiny scratch right in the middle of the wheel, due to catching my long nails on it. lol

I paid £508.40 for a complete supsension kit for my car from Eibach. (springs and dampers). It does appear that some Coilover kits are not ideal if you intend to to use your car for mainly road use, as they can give you abit of a harsh stiff ride. I was dead against Coilovers right from the...

:eek: Of course the car is 'standard' he has only just got it! Have you not read the thread properly? Give the guy a chance, besides, if he had decided to keep it 'bog standard' what is wrong with that??

Another point I should have mentioned about the Eibachs. I said in my post that I didn't really want the suspension to get much stiffer, if at all, and that is why the Eibachs were recomended as apparently they will keep the ride very much as it is already. When I get them fitted I will let...

I had my Viper +Anti Tilt Alarm fitted on Saturday, plus a lovely Kenwood cd/mp3 player and had a 6 cd multi changer fitted into the glove box. (Total cost= £998.). I am hoping to get lights fitted at some point today, but I am busy trying to sell my Uncles Honda for him, so that has to come...

If you mean clear side repeaters, I got mine from Halfords, cost me £10 and they came with the bulbs. On the question of lowering; I had some very good advice from theduckeatspork, he also has a 1.6, he recomended Eibach Pro's> He said I could just get srpings and then maybe Koni or Eiback...
