Welcome, car looks tidy mate! Gearbox is the main issue, alone with squeeky master cylinders. Great little cars, if it was mine I'd possibly change the exhaust & do the pads, fluid & hoses. I'd leave it be from there.

I used to run a tear A body shop a few years back bud, the bodyshop estimators never check things like this.

OP I understand this is probably all news to you but what you have done is massively idiotic in the nicest possible way. Have you not ever seen the sh*t that gets caught by your air filter? Dust particles alone will do damage to an engine. I'd suggest getting your oil flushed ASAP as well as a...

Exactly the same reason here mate. I got mine very cheap & personally think there's little between them & the DS's althought I haven't tracked on mine as of yet, they've never faded under fast road driving. Little dust as well.

If it has red brembo's then it's cup packed unless someones got handy with some hammerite.

I have the pads, not the fluid. They are relitively new pads so still rare ish at the moment. I have super blue in my 200. I would say they are a massive improvement over the standard pads (which fell appart). They're ok from cold & mega once they warm up a bit.

Fair play to you fella, very rare for a male to admit he's not the best driver :clap:

What do you guys find is the best for cleaning the bays? if you don't mind me asking.

As said before fella, that doesn't mean it actually is 195 brake.

Mid Kent Vehicle services in Aylesford. They're a good bunch in there.

I would agree with that actually.

Pretty sure they did a dyno with this & it causes a pretty noticable power loss. Plus I wouldn't trust the air filter to stay in one place.

Nice write up. The top picture makes the new clio look alright but in every other picture, I have to say I'm really not keen at the moment. I'm fully aware people will mod the new one to death & it'll be rapid, but it just doesn't seem as 'special' if you can use that word for a clio. P.S...

I've got a K&N panel in mine, can't say I've noticed much in the way of noise but it was free so i'm not complaining. Some say you do on ITG's, I personally can't see it myself tho.

I'd stick with a panel filter to be honest.

Looks very nice, If i was in the market for one I'd snap it up!!

This x100000

haha, True story. Green stuff are pony.

Trophy's are red, Cups tend to be Blue, I've got a 200, but am to far from you.

Awesome mate, not sure on the 'Magnum' seats tho, not sure how I feel about sitting on a magnum.

I've always fancied something like that as I work on the tech side for a main distributor of Jap parts, never got round to it tho. Can't wait to see yours.

Looks interesting

Sorry how much!???

I have to say mate, I think you've miss-taken what chip meant, he was only advising that you have a proper look at them as from what you saids wrong with the vehicle is far from ideal. Note: I changed my standard pads within 8k of getting my 200 as I wasn't keen on the originals for what I use...

Lot's of light braking? See my comment above.

I find that the pads glaze very easily on the 200, which would cause what your reporting. Go out & do a few hard braking sets on a clear road at a reasonable speed, then drive a little without using them to cool them down, works for me.

I wouldn't want to be footing the bill mate, still going to be a bonnet, bumper, radiator (i imagine) & surround minimum.

True story, I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for my factory extras. AKA resale value me.

I think this has been covered above mate, Likely was driving to fast (without cup spoiler) got out of shape & slipped out of seat (no recaros), thus crashing.

Forked out for 2 new Sport contact 5's on the front :( AKA considerably lighter.
