Some cracking roads you were on there. I'm quite lucky in the fact that a quick drive over the Cairn O Mount (which is decent enough in it itself) and i have access to some cracking roads over Ballater/Tomintoul area.

My MOT back in October stung me for £565.00. Rear brakes being seized was the biggest issue.

I'm more than likely getting rid of mine also. On the right road i reckon you'd struggle to get such a fun and better handling car for the money. It is just too fragile for my liking. The roads round my way are horrendous and i'm fearful every time i crash over a bump or through a pothole that...

Belts aren't due for 2 years so that shouldnt have too much bearing on the prices. I dare not put my details in to We Buy Any Car again,last time i did that i got pestered for ages afterwards (that was about 3 months ago and they quoted £7250)

I'm currently looking at trading in my 2011 Clio 200 (with 46k,Years mot, Speedlines,Cup Spoiler,Recaros,Cup pack) against a Megane R26. Only getting offered 6-6500k depending on condition. Does this sound about right? Quick look on Parkers,they are quoting about 7k,and i think thats without...

Swr in Stirling are specialists are they not? They'd prob be closer too you.

Do the linkages not seize up on these cars? Sure that's what the garage said when mine stopped working.

Where's the best/cheapest place to source a Scorpion exhaust? I'm gonna fit that along with a Toyo manifold and get it remapped at Clioturbo. The jerkiness and lack of power when taking off does my head in.

No pictures of mine unfortunately but here goes. 1.3 mk4 Escort Citreon AX GT (loved that car,was great fun to drive) Corsa 1.2 (needed a cheap run about) Mk3 Astra Gsi in Blue Mk3 Astra Gsi in Red Inferno Clio 182 White Clio 200 (current car)

Cheers for the replies. Was just thinking/hoping it would be a simple job of just changing over the panels. The lower bumper does have one or two stone chips so suppose i front end freshen up wouldnt go a,miss.

Can you get the panel that sits between the bonnet and the front bumper separately (the bit where the Renault diamond sits)? Mines is covered in stone chips and the doughball who had the car before me seems to have used what looks like tipex to cover some of them.

My standard head unit seems to be scratching my cds for some reason. Anyone recommend a decent head unit where I can still use the controls down by the steering wheel. Got a budget of roughly £150-£200. Don't want anything that looks to flashy though.

A Renualt dealer?

Cracking wee cars. I had an Inferno orange 182 before my 200 and absolutely loved it. They just feel a bit dated for me and are now affordable for the local maccy,ds crowd which kinda put me off. Saying that id still love to own a Trophy one day.

Cars booked in for 5th March. Will keep you updated on the outcome.
