on the 1.2 16v (i assume thats what you have going by your profile) you simply unbolt the 2 bolts holding the airbox on, lift it off and replace the standard paper air filter with the new panel filter, easy only takes 2 minutes.
different front bumper
15" version of the Mk2 172 alloys
colourcoded rear spoiler
different dials with digital screen for fuel and temp guages
new engine (different inlet manifold, ecu, throttle body) (bit quicker, more torque, less responsive) also has a different cat (doesnt have a flexi to...
1.4 and 1.6 are basically the same engine (apart from the obvious difference lol) so generally any reliability issues or common faults are the same on both cars, so if your thinking about a 1.4 16v i wouldnt bother, just go for the 1.6 16v.
it may only seem like 10bhp difference but the extra...

initial has higher spec but not the looks.
dynamique is from the sport range, comes with the sports seats, 15" wheels, spoiler, front fogs, trip computer etc etc
good little cars, handle well standard, lack power but for your average person they are fine.
its not half done its fully converted apart from the annoying auto wipers that cant be turned off, isnt that a good thing?
if i wanted i could change my paper work to dynamique but that doesnt bother me, i didnt do it so i could sell it as a dynamique i done it because i liked the looks.

2.0 tubo volvo engines are HUGE! my mate has an old volvo estate with the 2.0 turbo running about 380bhp rear wheel drive. its that big you'd have problems rear mounting it in a clio lol (na not quite that big but wont fit under the bonnet, plus it sits a totally different way)
power cables N/S
phono leads centre
speaker wires O/S
only moved it from boot to back floor so didnt have to pull any of the wires etc but could still happen i suppose.
seatbelts wern't out so shouldnt be under the mount
ill check the loom that runs up the side of the car, cheers
any...
