Surely it should be " Built in France, so it falls apart " :D

Thanks Fred , you seem to know everything!! Pretty sure its the cover, but i think i will leave it. Seems to be a recurring theme with these cars, "they leak".

I think that this has probably been covered many times before, but i aint exactly sure what to search for so i haven't found an answer. I am getting a very small amount of oil seeping from the points where the 2 red arrows are, i was just wondering if it was serious, and what is involved to...

I like them on the cars that had them originally, i think they look great on other cars but there seems to be alot about with them as mods. What im trying to say is that the look great, but its the trend, so if someone wants their car be a trend setter they have to go for something different...

What does the blasting or dipping involve and what sort of costs am i looking at? Am having a look at the cost of full refurbs at the mo.

I was planning on giving my car a very quick wash this evening, it has needed it for a while but i aint had a time or weather for it. Started with the turinis as they were really bad (new pads all round seems to have created more dust than normal) and noticed that the 2 on the drivers side...

172 parkd on lorne road, clarendon park at around 2.00 today. Cliosport.net sticker in back window.

This is pretty much the same as my understanding. I think it would be safe to say that you would agree that the diffuser does work (it looks pretty well designed to me) in isolation (in a test situation not on a car) or if it was fitted to a clio with a modified underside (flat). I also...

I am studying mechanical engineering at leicester uni. We have done a fair amount of fluid stuff, but im not confident enough with it to apply it to this situation and i do think that the only way to really know is to windtunnel test it, which im guessing renault has done already. Its just...

If i had the time i would, just to end this thread!!!!!!!!

How practical does it need to be? there are some nice evo's and scoobys for that money. Evo did that 10k performance car test a while back, but i can't remember what won. thin k there was an rx7 and an M5. what bout caterham? altho a good one may be a little expensive.

happened to me on a pug 306, while it was having it A/C refilled i asked they to check it, but they found nothing wrong but just checked all connections and gave them a clean. It never failed again after that so i guess it was just a bad connection. i am not sure where it was tho cos it wasn't...

Please can you explain some of these statements in more detail, I am an engineering student and have studied a reasonable amount of fluid dynamics and have used wind tunnels (only on a small scale). Some of the stuff you are saying doesn't seem to quite make sense to me? but i may be wrong:o

Yeah this sounds good to me but i would argue that the underside of the car, although not flat, is flat enough for Bernoulli's principle to apply(obviously its not perfect conditions and like i said i aint ever looked under a 197/200.) Hence why i said in perfect conditions it will prob get...

It will do something, i have studied this sort of thing at uni, although i was using water not air but its similar enough to make the same assumptions, but i wouldn't like to say how much without looking at the underneath of a 197/200. I would imagine in perfect conditions it will get the...

one ore the other, think it would be to much to go for both. I like the blue.

s**t, bloody typing on phone, i was ment to say the damage to mine wasn't very bad...oops. Sorry can't even edit

this happened to me on monday...it's so s**t. Body shop sait it is all repairable as it very bad damage. When i posted a similar thread earlier in the week a couple of guys posted pics of theres which were pretty badly damaged, but were all repaired and look good a new. I would post a link but...

more the top half, sorry not a great pic

Hey man what bout an off white / cream. Not sure how it would look. Am trying to find a good pic of what it mean, would be pretty subtle.

sounds good, text me when your setting off. My car is being repaired down that way, so was over there and had a McD's for lunch...it is a very different place to be during the day, seemed a little quiet!!!!

i really like them...might have to pop up and have a look. Was seriously considering one but decided on the cup instead.

I aint sure i was sort of near that area, more the other side of abbey park (just checked it on google maps) I was on Belgrave road. I was going to say i didn't see any other RS's about, but if u were in a van then i saw a fair few of them!!!! You a fair way from home? your profile <<-- says...

I aint seen any other L** CUP's but i think there is R172 CUP, which is pretty cool. Where bouts did you see me?

Think so, didn't check the time. I was heading out towards Thurmaston, went down london road, past the station and then round the ring road. Was going to have my car checked for the second time cos someone crashed into the back of me on monday :( ps. if it looked like it need a clean then it...

hey man was just looking for a thread i posted in earlier and came across this, i know this is a stupidly late reply...but it was me. I live in Clarendon Park. I take it your living in leicester by now?

there was one in chester, had a look at it. Was in mint condition, but the first owner had added A/C and traction or/abs as extras. Im afraid i can't remember price or mileage but was mint. www.grahamwalkerltd.co.uk this is where it was, just had a quick look and seems to have gone but they...

Well the doc has said i have mild whiplash and the insurance company said they are looking into making a claim, i don't think it will come to anything.

i was worried about it this morning but after everyones comments and help im pretty confident it will be fine. Thanks everyone for your help!!!

well went to docs and they saying its all good, just got a bad back and been told to keep an eye on it. Not sure i explained where it happened very well, it was coming out of sainsburys heading back towards welford road, pizza hut was on my right.
