Well as i said, my car is only a 1.2 so performance difference down the strip doesnt really bother me. If i had a 172 i doubt it would bother me either, the car would still be stupidly rapid!!!

Renault wanted £75 off me to do an oil and filter change!!!!!!

I got superleggeras on my car (look in the gallery under other clios). My car is unfortunately only a 1.2, but the performance difference is negligble. The car doesnt feel slower in the slightest

If your in the Bham area and youve got £50 spare me and jon will fit them for you!! We did my car and his (not the torsion bar on the 16ver though), its not that hard (see other clios gallery mines the black one on 17" Superleggeras) The back is easy to do cos all you do is undo the nuts on the...

Na, thats a 60mm drop mines 40 on 17s and its higher that that, unless the wide arches come down more??

Would a 172 Magnex Backbox fit my clio?? 2001 1.2clio16v I was planning on taking it to Powerflow
