Is it reading in l/km or mpg. Because those sound more like MPG figures

go for it. Dont forget that those immigrants should get out and stop stealing all our NHSes.

Add extra racism / bigotry to whatever you want to say, then make it tenuously relevant to whatever Jeremy Vine is on about today. Instant Radio 2 fame

a gearbox made of actual metal?

Don't be embarrased, a lot of young lads think it's cool to rag their sensible 1.2 litre hatchbacks around car parks or between roundabouts. Luckily though, you might grow out of it.

As part of "similar threads" I found this little gem from back in time. So many heros, all destroyed by T5 power. Super barges

awwww, another 5 in CS :)

I just spent £49 on fuel, can I add that to the future resale value?

I have a tax disc, is that cool enough?

This. They're like pillows for your ears and can as the drivers are so massive they genuinely produce decent low-end. That's the rub, much like car speakers, you need bigger drivers for lower sounds. Also THESE, but possibly a bit delicate for using out and about.

Can you still get those screw-on tail-pipe trims, from Halfords and such? Honestly, you'd be better off duct-taping one of those to your bumper than pouring money into any kind of non-OEM-spec exhaust. Any "performance" part will make your car sound like the most massive electro-fart ever...

Even at £1250, it would have been more than it's worth so you can guarantee a yes

Thing is, shoe on other foot, CS people seem to value their own cars at 250% above the actual, real-world value. But when buying things, everything is a rip off

I did lol. "Because I've spent thousands of pounds on maintenance, not to mention fuel, I demand that people offset my running costs with their bid." Well done OP, surreal level of r****d.

Pretty sure that CS logic dictates:- light blue = total bend Certainly is for other cars anyway, so I was told.

I know you say it all looks OK, but maybe the rear dampers? A lot of people moan about duff handling and it seems the #1 culprit Also, tyre pressures. I never worried about this until I got my '5, but a few PSI here and there makes quite a difference... probably less markedly so on a...

Good work. Is it definitely a Sport though? Looks a bit too standard, normally thaey'd have come with front fogs, side skirts and rear wing? That said, if it's got a 6-speed, its either an RS (import) or a Sport (UK). Guessing this is to become another JDM-*****, dream-ricer, drift y0! machine?

"Asset" strip the 1.2 and roll it into a ditch. Then claim on the insurance that its "been stolen" Use the payout towards insuring the 172.....with a 182 engine (but keep that last bit quiet)

thought it was one of those. But didn't want to say RB as it'd probably upset the 172trackcupdayshoppingcoiloverspoiler crew

Alreet. Lass at work just got a Mk4 Dynamique in "French Blue". Looks remarkably like Albi blue to me, is it the same paint with a different name? As a generic shopping wagon, it seems alright, not sure about the two-tone wheels though....or the interior, did they just choose the plastics in...

OEM Display output? I think thats what they call it. something like THIS or THIS would do the job nicely. Then, all you need is a little sub for your boot (maybe something like this) and that's all you need ever do to the stereo in your Clio. But your first hurdle is to get the cable... on...

Car shows like that just come across as grander-scale versions of everyone parking up in [retail park car park]. As others have said, Prescott, goodwood, some BTCC, any of these are a better way to spend equal sums of money.

Nice. Next time around shall we do a forum whip-round so you get full-size tyres ;)

You can get a lead for Alpine head units that will retain both the stalk controls and the dash-top display. they're about £70 I think (when I got mine it was about that anyway) and are specific to particular alpine units (so not the entry-level ones) and whether the renault unit is a Tuner list...

mmmm, Corvettes.... "oo look, my BMW has got special wheels" GTFO ma way boy, murica muscle comin thru!

are you related to lbrench?

For what it's worth, I'm finding the Yokohama Advans really good (but that's on an MX5). A bit strong on road noise but when they're warm (as in, they're not great for the winter) they're pretty good, needing a proper dose of hooligan to make the back do anything but stick to the line.

They're made out of manufacturers chequebooks you know.

It will damage your position amongst any civilised social circle. But make you a total lord of the retail estate car park
