Good for you, Mark!

Looks ok but without seeing more detail it's hard to say. The key things are the service history - have the belts been changed as & when they should have, and by either Renault, or an independent Renaultsport specialist? And are the dampers in good working condition, or have they ever been...

Thanks all for the positive comments, you're all much kinder than my OH - "Are your wheels supposed to look like that? Cos they look shít, you're such a chav!". Sir, yes sir! Discussions are ongoing... I share your sentiment, Andy, I much prefer 16s too, and I was worried the 2118s would...

I'll post my thoughts tomorrow in your 15s thread. I'm really struggling for the words to describe everything so I'll sleep on it. Motoring journalist, I am not.

No he didn't. He said the previous owner took them off because they needed refurbishing, and sold them, using the money to help fund the Spax coilovers it was purchased on.

Sad times, hopefully any human injuries can be recovered from. RIP Cup.

For £2k it's pretty unlikely. Gives the OP an opportunity to source and re-fit some, or try something a little different. Whichever route he chooses good luck to him!

Driven the hell out of it, epic smiles!

A few more updates were added to #455 recently, courtesy of Mike Woodford @ S&MWM - thanks, as always. A couple of months ago I picked up a new set of wheels and although it took me quite a few hours and a lot of effort to hand-polish off the printed blue logos I eventually succeeded. I also...

Mine called for a replacement solenoid.

Here's a crappy iPhone pic of mine on the drive home from having Sportlines replaced with Cooksports, 20mm spacers fitted up front, and 2118s wearing AD08Rs fitted. It'll need time to settle then I'll take it out on my favourite loop to judge the changes. May look a bit low at the rear but...

Does this mean that track day insurance is likely to become compulsory for one and all?

With 75,000 members CS is bound to divide opinions on nearly everything.

A few months down the line, what are people's thoughts on citypowdercoating? They're still offering their almost unbelievable price of £20 per wheel, and while you get what you pay for I'm finding this offer difficult to ignore.

Not allowed back iirc, not that that will stop you - they always come back (multiple times) ;)

This is a great car, and one I feel I 'know' given the amount you've put into recording it's progress, I like it a lot, however, the silver wheels don't work for me. The Turinis are great (of course ;)) but if I had some spare cash I'd be tempted to get them powder-coated red to match the...

Not if you want to drive a red (/pink) car.

As above

OP - if you register on here it opens up opportunities for potential discounts at places like Demon Tweeks, so get it done, and continue your research!

Could have trimmed the grass a little - looks a bit odd like that. Would like to see it on flat ground but think it looks smart. Ruined a Trophy? It's only a car, who gives a f**k?!

Didn't know he was coming too?!?!

Thanks all, appreciate the comments!

I appreciate what you're saying but BT Sport is swaying me, but the main consideration is the £130 fee I'd have to pay if I went with Sky. I figure I'll go with BT and if it's not up to scratch then I can switch after 12 months.

We don't have broadband at home, nor do we have a fixed line at all, although there must have been one there once. We do have Sky but only for TV. I'm thinking about getting BT's most basic broadband package - 10GB per month for £10 (+ £15.45 line rental) - plus £40 Sainsbury's gift card & BT...

If you want to go just give 1st Tickets a call and they'll sort you out with some tickets.

Having seen this at Combe this weekend I can vouch for how immaculate it is, it's a testament to your efforts, Lawro, great work! However, do you have any plans for the centre caps, as for me they attract unnecessary attention and stand out like a sore thumb.

DeLorean on 'roids?

The hole under the wing mirror causes a whistling, doesn't it? It's where the temperature gauge is on the passenger side, but on the driver's side it's just en empty hole. Not sure why it would have just started for you now, though, maybe it's always been there but you've only just started to...

This annoys the hell out of me, and I blame this forum for the fact that I now start every sentence I speak with the word, "so". As for the best Clio ever, it's too subjective and all you'll get is people stating opinions. If that's what you want then I'm going to say a 1.2 Billabong.

I like the CS stand and all the rears nicely lined up (except Lawro's). Good pics Nick
