You can buy a ph1 172 for waaaay under a grand now.
Insurance is silly on anything from 1.2's to 172s and beyond.
Insurance on your 1.2 will become even more ridiculous once you make it a rep, unless you've a very understanding insurance company.
Stick out the 1.2 as is for a while, and just...
Can't see the point in changing wheels, especially on a bog standard car. Just my opinion.. do what you want ;)
Only cars I've ever changed wheels on have been my Imprezas... green one because they were too big (18" to 17"), and the silver one is now sporting those 17s because the standard 16s...
I dont think it will work as you've (presumably) not got the wings/skirts to go with it.
If you put lower profile tyres on it will look even more ridiculous without adding some lows. Someone did this on here a short while back, it was the funniest car related picture I've seen in a while (goes...
182 wheels will look ridiculous if it's standard, but what do I know....
Why would you need to buy new tyres if you bought 182 wheels...? Most wheels for sale come with tyres.
Have you checked with your insurance ? I'm assuming you're young and they will probably want more money from you.
Surely an application of common sense (and some patience! :rasp:) needs to be applied ?
Follow the wire back and remove whatever you find in the way which is part of it ?!
Not difficult really is it !?
Get stuck in .. what's the worst that can happen !
Post a pic up .. anything is repairable... the chances of finding a mint (what colour??) bumper is slim.....
As said, sign up, check the F/S threads and/or chuck up a wanted thread.
Failing all that, try ClioSpares. They're north of the Watford Gap so must be near you :rasp:

A cheeky one of a friend's ridiculous vehicle... V8 + S/C = 500HP + Nascar noises !

Front ring ? Wing ?!
What do the shut lines look like on the door ??
Doesnt take more than someone to lean on the top of the door to bend the hinges a little. :dead:
Cams, tuned exhaust, head work, or forced induction... you might even see 100 horses if the pistons don't melt, but then you can fit forged internals to combat that. Fuel pump and injectors might need upgrading too. Easy to do with a large enough wallet.
Best thing to do however, is not...
Should look something like this:

Honestly can't remember how on earth it's fixed down and don't own a Clio any more to check... does it 'clip' down under a part of the base/tray ?! :S Someone will tell you...
Why have you got a non-OEM fit...
Welcome to the internet.
Try the Local Area Meetings section: South East, for more Essicksers.
There's a meet coming up at the weekend in dirty Dartford if you're around.. come say hi.
^ Beat me to it !
Wiki - power, torque.
Not sure you even begin to understand the fundementals of either at the moment...
To increase torque on an NA engine, pulse tuning the exhaust, changing to a 4-2-1 manifold, or enlargening the cylinders to enable a larger piston (more area = more...
Track mania.. just bought me back to my Uni days ! No idea what the list is TBH... apart from games.
I've no need to infect my Mac with Windows, but it's probably for the best haha ! :D
