Borrow a code reader from someone to find that out.
For me, a smalle steering wheel is the best simple 'cheap' mod.

The RS Sabelt one is great, but they're hard to get hold of I think, and the fabric wears after a while.

Aren't they rather useful in certain situations? Such as rain. Or a flat tyre.
(Even if you don't have a spare, don't you have to jack the car up to use Tyre weld?)

I drive a lorry so used to not seeing out the back and as for spare
check my pressures twice weekly and have tyre weld ive never used it but dont think you need a jack no.
I can talk though as i still have my wiper and spare on. But then thats cos the car is still pretty new.

I would say camber bolts made the biggest difference for the least money.

You didnt mention budget, this is probably going to be going a bit far, but boost IMHO is the best modification, its the only thing that will really totally transform the car for the better massively.
ITBs are ok too, but nothing like the same gains ultimately.

^wrong.
If you want it faster, buy a faster car.
Most of the mods mentioned so far are relatively minor and inexpensive. They will improve the car without leaving you bankrupt.

Also, you really wouldn't want to add another 100bhp or so without touching the brakes or suspension first.
Power comes last in my book.

I like my turbo clio, and dont have any of the problems you are claiming I will like being bankrupt etc.
Some people dont want a faster other car, they specifically want a clio, I fall into that category myself for this particular car in fact.
Goes without saying though with any power upgrade you should make sure the brakes and handling are up to it.
I read the question as what is the best mod he can do, not what is a cheap mod or what mod should you do as the only mod, so I was just saying that the biggest transformation (ie "best") ive experienced in any of the many clios Ive owned or worked on for others, is boost.
So I dont see how that is "wrong" ?

Styling wise, Fabia VRS front spoiler is bang on especially when taking into account the price.

Terrible on track or on road?
I find them pretty comfy for long journeys and manage not to fall out of them on track , for a dedicated track car though I would certainly bin them.

The best mod i did to my 172 was fitting the Ktec uprated engine mounts as they made the most noticeable difference performance wise.
