Mk.3 "Trophy" model. 240hp though? Seriously? Service intervals every 6 months for that... unless they've bought the old S2000 / Integra engine. £25k is a lot but it'll still be only 10k in 3 years They'll need to do something special to offset the power lost by taking the gordini stripes off

turtle wax

I'd spend it on next years VED

Air Mass meter?

Like that colour. It's not like the BMW matt grey though is it? The one you mustn't clean EVER!? Sounds like my kind of car, but wont the detailers' heads explode trying to cope?

Re: Will putting new lowering springs damage original shock absorbers in the long run Will you even notice a 25mm drop at any oth4er time than being parked next to another 172? I wouldn't bother, Renault set up the suspension to be 'so high', 'so stiff' etc, and unless you're going to pour...

It may be worth a couple of K in a breakers........ but, good god, that is awful beyond words

The website should be unavailable for 3/4 of the day. When it does come on line it keeps blitting random wav files, and 1/2 the flash only works periodically

They do look a bit Audi dont they.... I bet the 5-stud 18's come on, say, an A4 or something as an option. Wrong pic, there are 4-stud ones, they only come as 15/16 inch. Hard to get a pic of the, though. Try this though http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Fondmetal/186030427049

Fondmetal 7900's (Some manufacturer will be using these as OEM-spec somewhere) Wondering how they'll look on a 1*2. Opinions, preferably backed up by Photoshopage PLS.

Keeping tidy is good :) As you know, Clio's demand money, so you'll have plenty to keep busy with anyway. Good luck!

Just leave the Ph.1's be, altogether. The titanium one is the classic 'poster' 172, the others may be rarer, but no-one outside of owner forums gives a toss. Same goes for genuine 172 Cups, they get chavvercised or barrel-rolled far too frequenttly. If you must ruin something, ruin a ph.2...

Just cube the thing and have it over with ;)

You are, indeed, the exception Dont get a Ph.1 then, there aren't many clean ones left as is

He who owns Ph.1 will say it's best He who owns 182 with cup packs will say theirs is best He who owns a 1.2 with coilovers and a bodykit will say theirs is best. I'm sure you get the idea. Try out a few, make your own mind up. The Ph.1 is genesis and for that reason is always going to be...

That's alright then. Typically it's at this point I wade in with "get an MX-5 instead".... but I'm trying to resist

Hey there, welcome aboard. One thing, you say you had reliability issues with your last Clio, dont expect any different, bolting on aftermarket ITB's wont help matters either. But as it's not a daily, I can't imagien it's that much of an issue now.

Loud exhausts are fine if you live nowhere near civilisation or residential areas. But, sooner or later, one of your neighbours will get the serious asshole on and you'll find yourself going out to your clio one morning and finding it's been "detailed" using keys, bricks or petrol. :(

Loud car is loud

In for a penny, in for a pound. If you're going to have a shonky knock-off, may as well go the whole hog. Oh, and check your windows for any reg. markings too and get them replaced, last thing you want is for it to be in any way saleable when you realise what you've done :)

Stripes & Mudflaps The de facto answer to any question involving "mo power" in CS. One day someone will say something different, but will be perma-banned for crimes against the forum

aren;t these built to remove paintwork easily?

If you can't afford one, dont bother.

You need:- 1) A 172/182 "donor car" 2) to sell your 1.4 Shouldn't take longer than a couple of hours

Why would someone want to make a 197 look like a 200? I know the 197 wasn't exactly a looker, but the 200 looks like it's got mental disabilities! Roof scoop I like, there mus be a way to fit one with putting holes in the roof which wont lead to it tearing itself off at high-speed. A small...

Does anyone here run Enkei's on their Clio? Without photshop powers, I'm thinking they may look a bit tasty

Fix Or Replace Daily ? ;)

I washed my car the other day, but then I drove somewhere, and it's dirty again.

If you cant get of KPM, look up JMS on here, they're in Chertsey and are top blokes
