Excess is indeed a bugger - but fingers crossed it's something you never have to pay. Wheras you have to pay your premium no matter. ;)

All depends on what you want the finished product to be. There are ones designed for producing photo-realistic renderings and those designed to create manufacturing drawings and 3d printing etc. You've got surface modelling and solid modelling etc etc so there are loads of things to consider...

Well the biggest would be insurance but things like tax, servicing (incl frequency) - the usual things to consider when buying a new car. Plus, things like the RS running on Premium unleaded as opposed to the supermarket boggo stuff. Not mpg as much as £pg. I agree the RS is excellent when it...

^^ Cheaper if fuel was the only cost to consider. Plus I'm sat in stop-start (sub 5mph) traffic nearly everyday, I'd be impressed if a 172/182 could get close to 40mpg in that type of driving.

I get about 47mpg. I can squeeze 250miles out of £20 - just.

Hehe - not yet no. Exhaust is this month, so maybe next month. ;)

60mm Apex. More here. :)

No probs.

You need to get some grease on the hinges Giles. There is a guide knocking about somewhere - I think fubar did one. But anyway - the main bits... I'm not sure what the ph1 sunroof is like but the ph2 lifts out once the clasp handle is undone. You'll see a small horizontal bar inside - the idea...

lol - me neither. Gutted!

Sounds awsome - I've got a sub under the desk and it made the desk rattle hehe.

I don't think it is mate - the front bumpers are different shapes - sport has wider wings etc. I don't know if you can bodge/bend the splitters that much. If you can - then you've got a bidding war on your hands ;)

Hehe join the queue hehe - cheers ;)

Cheers :) I was contemplating selling it - but I'm not so sure lol James - As much as I liked the yellow wheels, they don't quite blend in with the colour scheme :eek:

^^ Cheers Middo - I need to talk to you about getting more carbon on there too. ;)

Hehe - thanks TBY. Believe it or not - I did back to black the tyres before taking those pics, not sure why it looks as though I didn't in the pics.

Thanks for the comments guys. :) Haha - I think not mate! :approve:

Gave the car it's first 'proper' clean since FCS today - managed to time it around the footy/rain too! Seein as it was quite a summery out I thought I'd take some pics... Arty shot ;) My wheels with carbon fibre centre caps :approve: Pretty clean... Comments welcome!

^^ The colour-coding looks spot on - good price too. What kind of prep work was involved?

They look huge! Lookin good tho - I reckon you'll be after summit new after a few weeks of trying to keep them buggers clean ;)

lol - I'll have to guess that it looks like a good meet as I can't actually see much! :rasp:

106 is made from used pie tins - so weighs the same as a packet of crisps. So I'd say they'd put up quite a fight.

They're slow anyway - might as well look good on 17's whilst trying to keep up! ;)

lol - nice one. :o I work just past the Trafford Centre so I'm always around the area.

Looks ok I guess - kinda ties in with the euro look. ^^ Jay - Could have been me too, I've got a hologram grey clio and work in Manchester. :D

Well there's a guide knocking about somewhere - it's a 1.5hr job if you don't know what you're doing. It'd be worth doing yourself if you can get your hands on some spring compressors - a garage will do it but they'll charge you a fair bit on labor I reckon.

Skirts - There's a place right opposite where I work and his work seems spot on. Booth road, in Sale (M33 7JS) - number is 0161 973 0001. Springs - You can do yourself mate. 40mm is ok on standard shocks. If you want to go 60mm you'll prob need uprated shocks as well - or you can fit them to...

Those slash cut tail pipes on Steves look really nice. Much better than the standard tailpipes but still have an OE look to them. :approve:

Why do this? Clio's don't exactly attract a lot of attention but they get targeted with s**t like this...feel bad for you mate.

Love the mk1 172 in Blue and red - very rare. I'm currently looking for something new - as much as I look at other cars I keep wandering back to the RS Clio!!
