Am I right in thinking with one of these fitted Big Brother has more control in how it views your driving? My mate claims they can track your speed etc?
The roof hump has been added so that theres room to wear a crash helmet in the cabin.
Also, the front slats in the wing are to reduce wheelarch pressure, it has thermostatically controlled adjustable bonnet vents which open and close on temperature oddly enough, a lighter perspex spoiler...

Just heard that kids are starting to vandalise jet wash machines. Two cases reported where they have pushed razor blades into the brush which will obviously scratch the hell out of your motor! I personally dont use the brush but would be extremely pissed and unhappy if it happened to me...

How much was the exhaust and is it really loud cause i dont do loud or boomy .
Around £570 including silenced cat bypass. Its not overly loud, sounds great on acceleration and through the gears, and idling is just a sporty borble note.
Took my car to the jetwash the other day when it was sunny (yes, sunny in Cumbria) and couldnt believe the gold effect in the paintwork. These pics dont do it justice, it was class! The bottom one is a pic I took opposite the chippy with the new Pro-Speed exhaust on! :D...
Just thinking about my next car, and although a couple of years away ish, Im tempted by two. The Clio V6 - obviously - or the Lotus Elise (perhaps 111R or even the standard version). Both around the same price.
Which would you guys prefer and why, if you have reasons? Much appreciated, will...
Mine is A18 TOO on a 182 ;)
I had plates made up for N20 LCW for my old Williams 3. The bolt holes were to go between the 2 and the 0 as to make it look like 2.0 and the plate would read N 2.0L CW (Neils 2.0L Clio Williams)
Didnt go through with the purchase in the end. Both A18 TOO and the...
With a 2.5" bore the motorway drone will be very excessive to the old eardrums. Prospeed recommend 2.1/4" bore which helps with low end torque. Obviously the 2.5" will gain more top end and itll be slightly noisier. Cant wait to get my Prospeed system fitted, full system including silenced...

Amen.
In my opinion the fact your horn doesnt work is a godsend as its one of the worst, weakest noises known to man. A horn should be there to give an aggressive get out of the way or face termination sound, not laugh at this Renault Damn horn. Anyway, dont know whats wrong with your horn other than...

isnt the v6 255bhp?
Aye, but a standard Clio isnt the weight of the V6, nor does it have the 3.0l engine...

I doubt he would get the same trade in value if he wanted to swop it for the new £6999 clio theyre advertising though.
Yeah, apparently thats just a straight swap, but I do get those new 182 Cup mats! ;)

lol, Graham and Bowness in Workington (Cumbria)

Just been to Renault dealership near me, they have a blue 2004 V6 in the showroom, 2.8k miles for sale at £22k
They offered me £12.5k for the 182 so all I need now is another £9k and its mine. Now, where did I put that cheque book... oh yeah, its in dreamland where my head is at the moment...
