.....at my usual stalking grounds. ;) On a late one today - left it far too late for a decent butty selection. Had to make do with the 'ol cheese & onion. Boo. :( D.

.... in terms of pure running costs? If I round it up and say my mileage is approx 40 per day - with a mixture of urban and some motorway mileage - is one better than the other? The only 'luxury' option I'd really like is power steering - not sure if that was standard anyway? Any ideas of...

+1 But I'll let her off because she's got the spoiler on the boot. :approve: Lee - are you looking at this? ;) D.

Ah - I see. My mistake! I loves the flappage - lol! D.

WhyTF would muppets only need mudflaps? Parking sensors on the other hand - I agree. :) Racks are evil. Get a bigger car or a van. Make your car an Instant-Hillbilly-Mobile. :dead: D.

Oh Lee! That pic is just not right! How can you do that to an RS Clio?!! :eek: D.

Flaps FTFW!!!! Ok, perhaps not Sparco blue. But on a black gold with black flaps, it would look great. Then lower it - even better. D.

Heading north and came off at Haslingden, I think? Looked really well - and the exhaust sounded goo too! Lowered a bit, but with uncupped wheels, iirc? D.

Proof of what can be achieved when its looked after. I'm guessing here, but you work your car hard on track, etc - yet its still going strong. It's amazing how some TLC in terms of oil changes, etc can stretch a motor's mileage out to quite high figures. D.

Just dropped off my nearest and dearest in the city centre and spotted the above parked up. No stickers from what I could see. D.

I was going to say the same! Looks great. :) Some good pics there, Jamie - the camera has picked up a good amount of detail - including the marbles being flicked up behind that Ginetta about 15 pics down. D.

Remember seeing it back in the days of its orangey-brown 1.2 state - on rollers with Matt and assistant standing on the wings for the damn thing to gain traction on the RR day! Good times. Glad to know that its been moved onto another level. :) D.

Ah. That could have been a problem! D.

LOL! I bet if I paid for the bloody thing and its fitting, you'd still say no! Get one on velcro. Peel it off afterwards! :clown: D.

Still not convinced of that myself. I was looking a lot more at the Mk2's than the Mk3's at FCS. Slightly lowered 172 Cups, for example look absolutely stunning, imo. If I could buy a 172 Cup or a 197 Cup brand new from a dealership tomorrow - just purely on looks alone, I'd be heading...

Complete with spoiler attached, m8? You know it makes sense. :cool: D.

The main risk with that m8, is if someone else plough's into your car. You won't have the chance to take bits off before the Police and insurance assessors are on the scene and if your car doesn't match their records, they have every right to refuse payment. So someone hits you - it was their...

FFS. You serious? If I want to get vinyl cut-out lettering, plastered all over my car that says "I bum goats for fun" - then that is my car, and I should be fully entitled to do it. Another wonderful idea, cooked up in the Insurance Sh1tpit..... I mean, Thinktank. :dapprove: D.

Stick with what you've got, imo - those Flamers are rare! :) D.

I'm betting six problems - including the fact that they break your door card, can't find another one and simply refit a complete blue door from another Clio. All in the vain attempt that you won't notice. ;) D.

+1. If its had a fair amount of TLC, I'd rather pick a high miler than one at circa 50k with a patchy history at best. D.

It needs culling. If that Clio has any self control, it will drive itself off a high cliff - preferably one with a petrol station sat at the bottom. Too grim to live. All that effort. And for what? I just never, ever understand the heavy modding way of thinking. Chipped, split and ripped off...

Lol! Crafty! :cool: D.

^^^^ - both examples of pure insurance b****cks... "I've changed my filter" "That will be an extra £100 on your policy, sir." "I've changed my exhaust too" "That will be a further extra £100 on your policy, sir." "Oh, and this afternoon, I finished boring the block out to 2.2litres...

As Sy said Sarah - have you tried your own company? There seems to be plenty of companies out there that offer such services though... https://www.tempcover.com/default.aspx?src=google Never used them, so I don't know if they are any good! D.

Lol! The inner workings of the Mormons or the Cosa Nostra are more logical, straight-forward and predictable than insurance companies. I think they do that on purpose though. If it was easy for Joe Public to calculate on factors A, B and C, then anyone could work it out. Surely? Their 'theory'...

Welcome Scott - whereabouts in Oz are you? I bought the Mk3 badging for mine - does look better, imo. I think Renault themselves would supply it to you? Approx £20-£25? D.

Meaning you were pressing the Go pedal a little bit more than us? ;) D.

Unfortunately m8, its happening everywhere. Spotted this last week... http://www.rs246.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=71339&sid=d3b85960f9b4f37a19b95fb0d232d155 ...and a high-ish risk car such as an RS just causes the insurers to panic a bit and start to add £ to the premium...

As I've said on numerous threads, his age will go against him, but the postcode will have a massive effect on it too. Tbf, the quote he got originally is very good for his age, considering the type of car that the 172 is. I was paying that on the 182 just 2 years ago and I'm 33. Nil points...
