    Top speed?

    130? Is that all the 197 will give?? I had 130 out of my CLIO 1.2tce... It had been remapped tho.. I would have hoped you could atleast get 140 - 145 from a 197 :,-( Fastest I've been was 145 in my brothers Corsa vxr :-)

    Prices

    Hi mark Could you get me a price for a set of 197 metal pedals (accelerator, brake and clutch) to replace the plastic ones? And could you check the price for a silver center console? (Non climate version, if that matters) Cheers Mike

    Bummed off!!

    leather seats look nice.. before they start to sag after a few 1000miles. I would go with the recaros personally they look the nuts and they are more desirable, so you will get more when you come to sell it on too.

    Paint Lacquer

    I’m pretty sure when i took mine in to have the spoiler replaced they told me the paint is covered under a 10 year warranty.. Give Renault a call and check with them. Hopefully im right and you will get a new bonnet sorted.
