where is the best place to get the 'cheaper' mods? eBay? Im very much a noob.

Cheers

eBay. But K-tec sell them for £30 ish. But should be able to find them cheaper on ebay, or look in the for sale section (you have to pay your membership) and find someone that is breaking a car and ask them.

Enjoy it

I'll have some bilstein springs for sale just after christmas mate, if you're still after them then.

found some for a tenner, but before i buy them, are they really easy to change?

Cheers

 

[Will.]

Haven't done it myself, but I imagine. Bit of tape on the end of a flat head screw driver. Pry out.

Really easy to pop out, well, they were on my old fiesta, cant see it being much different on the clio. I used a teaspoon covered with a duster to pop it out haha

Renault do sell them yeah, but if you're horrified by the £30 on ebay, don't even think about asking Renault.
