badger - something to remember is that you basically have just about the one and only community of Cup and 172 owners here on Cliosport. It would be a bit short sighted, perverse even, for a company who do a 200bhp conversion on a particular model of Clio *not* to want Cliosport in on it - 900+ Clio owning members and thousands of forum users - were not some small fry operation here. A product or service that is well thought of on here will be supported a great deal by Cliosport members and forum users. And conversely, if something is not rated by the majority on here, they dont get the business. Eg. somewhere like Prima, even though theyve been in the Renault tuning/styling game for yonks, do not have anywhere near the business they could be doing, because in general they are not well regarded by Cliosport members. Other Renault tuners have their supporters on here and hence they do get business through club coverage - eg. BB, Hill Power, K-Tec etc.
Not wanting to say that Saxos are common but Im sure that a greater proportion of Clio enthusiasts and owners are also Cliosport members/users than Saxo owners are of something like SSC. Just from the simple fact that there are less Clios out there than Saxos. So it pays for Clio tuning companies to take heed of what the only Clio-specific community is saying.
