    n2grafix RS182 sticker on the front bumper...

    Having taken up Ady's offer on the thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=358282 - I walked around my car a good half-dozen times thinking where to place it! Settled on the nearside front. Not unique by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm happy with it there. Tried taking a...

    Clio 182 Mileage - Correct it or leave it

    I had my instrument panel replaced in late Novemebr last year. The issue wasn't cruise control related - but with the ESP system. You couldn't tell if it was on or off. Naturally, the mileage went back to zero and I got paperwork from Reno Manchester to say what work had been done - complete...

    anybody got pics of my old car

    Banned for being too loud in a 1.2? Did it actually have any exhaust at all? ;) D.

    R27 first drive...

    Good write-up there. I've still yet to drive a 197, but purely in the looks dept., I still prefer the Mk.2. And when I look at the pics of cars like Middo's I can't think for the life of me how they can look 'shite' as Michael says. The 197 Cup with the extra spoiler looks the tits. But I...

    Black 182 - Bolton Rd Darwen about 18:00

    Aye - probably was Chris & Nic. Bloody black golds are common as muck. ;) D.

    Sunday Afternoon Pics...

    Definitely one of THE best Clios on here. Looks perfect. Almost like you could eat it. Like a slice of lemon cheesecake. Mmmmm..... cheesecake. :cool: D.

    changed wheels what do you think?

    Definitely look better. Get them sprayed black! :) D.

    My pics from Scottish Oban run. Lots.

    FLOL! Liking the dCi badges on the stripey blue one! :) The liquid yellow 182 looks very good as well. Good pics! D.

    Some Pics From Todays V6 Meet

    I've never been a fan of the Trophy spoilers. But for some reason, the LY one looks great in that last pic. D.

    Dirty 182 Seat Belts

    Need to do mine at some point. Good 'ol Reno doing light-coloured belts, eh? ;) D.

    Bonnet Catch Recall

    Similar to me, m8. I phoned Reno for an inlet gasket the other week and when I gave them my reg. no, they said I had the outstanding bonnet recall on it too. Mine's a '54 plate 182, for the record. I've had no letter or phone call discussing the recall - only what I've heard and read about on...

    DC5 Hijacked!

    Doubt he'll get that back. A m8 at work had his red DC2 stolen in pretty much the same circumstances. Had it up for sale, test pilot comes along - knife to thoat - car long gone. He never did hear anything of the car again. :( Really feel for the guy with the DC5. Poor sod. D.

    18 year old game console

    Good effort if he manages it though. No doubt some 45-year-old, still shacked-up with mummy in the foothills of Montana is reaching for his credit-card as we speak... D.

    TLC day for the 182

    Cheers for the feedback guys. :) Danny, I take it that the drain should obviously be pointing down then? Best make sure of that in the morning - lol. D.

    TLC day for the 182

    Well, today was the culmination of a few issues building up over the last two weeks with the 182. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=354145 http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=353987 http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=357483 When I spoke to...

    Mine broke too. Though Chris (Chris 'n Nic) kindly had a freebie replacement for me! :cool: D.

    Clio 172 at 18 paying £2400 tpft . sound about right ?

    How the hell have you got £1,800 insurance on a 172, in London and only 18?? :eek: I was still getting quotes higher than that back then for a bloody Punto 60S! You must be in one hell of a leafy postcode! D.

    silvertech bulbs

    The Silvatecs that I got from Halfords are still going strong and I must have had them in about two years now. Not cheap when I bought them (£14.99 a pair) but at least they've lasted. Just go to a Halfords that has a chav Ripspeed section and they are normally in the glass cabinets there. D.

    Illegal Downloading

    ROFL! What the f**k are those adverts about? Is that supposed to discourage people from nabbing stuff on the cheap? Embarrassing. D.

    Clio 172 at 18 paying £2400 tpft . sound about right ?

    I'd seriously be having another think about paying that kind of money, m8. I know it's easy for me to sit here, 15 years older than you and preach what you should do - but honestly, give it some more thought. Any 1*2 is a quick car and it needs respect. And what 18 year old out there...

    Defo. Give me your bank account details and I'll get them on order! :cool: D.

    Knock-knock.....who's there? (pic)

    Great.... :dapprove: Heard a knocking noise coming from the inside rear for the past few days. Only when driving over grids, dips in the road and stuff. Sure enough, it looks like the shock has gone. Still, 50k+ mileage isn't too bad I suppose. Time to get two new 'uns for the rear...

    Horn Problem, Horn not working

    Mine stopped working a few weeks before the warranty ran out. Reno fixed it, so unfortunately I'm not sure of the costs/bits involved. I think I'm right in saying that a non-working horn is an MOT failure as well. So if that's due soon, you may have to sort the horn out regardless? Hopefully...

    Recommend me another motherboard.

    Any real benefits of the Striker II with the 790i Ultra chipset over the Maximus? I know it's well out of David's price range, but it does look quite smart. ;) D.

    Help..I am about to smash the f**k out of my P.C.

    I wouldn't worry about that m8. They are just picking up your IP address and ISP and putting 2 and 2 together. Personally, the sad b******s who make pop-up s**t software should be shot. No court appearance, no trial - just BAM! for wasting everyone else's time. Absolute scum. D.

    Did you give your 1*2 full acceleration in your test drive?

    I was ordered to give the CTR the full beans when I test drove one. As for my 182, the first time I'd sat in one was the day I went to pick it up - lol! D.

    Laptop with XP

    You're right. They are not that upgradable at all. Memory is easy (and cheap) to upgrade, but things like graphics are pretty much a no-no in upgrading. There used to be some proper high-end laptops with decent graphics setups onbaord, which no doubt would be good for your Photoshop/AutoCAD...
