    glove box sagging to one side

    On my first 197 I thought that the glove box lid/flap may be adjustable. Spent ages popping out the trim strips and stripping it all down to find out it's a fixed mechanism and not really any way of lining it up better. Can't remember off the top of my head whether the actual contact...

    Front RS badge and mount - 200

    Will give it a go and see what happens. Clipped or stuck on with double sided sticky pads I'm sure it'll do the job. Front end looks a bit too standard without it.

    My FF Cup Packed Albi 200

    Pic looks great. Tbh I really like the cup anthracites but speedlines for a 3rd of the cost is just too tempting. Signal is ok for me. I have to say having no aerial made no difference..but then I am in Birmingham and all radio signals are pretty good. Might be different out in the country.

    My FF Cup Packed Albi 200

    cheers buddy Stubby Aerial fitted... Ordered the RS front badge today - £26 from Renault :-) Thinking of wheel bolt covers now. Also still debating whether to swap to the speedlines - can get then cost price from a contact in Italy I know.

    My FF Cup Packed Albi 200

    Cheers guys. I have just added the stubby aerial today - it was either a stubby aerial or some tape that came with the spoiler to protect it from the longer aerial... great french design...;/

    Front RS badge and mount - 200

    Hi all, I think I asked this Q a year or so ago and not sure it ever got answered. My 2010 reg 200 didn't come with the front RS badge. Not the end of the world, but I'd quite like to get one. Questions: 1) I believe the badge is on a plastic mount - does the mount fit straight in the...

    touch up paint

    Renault have stopped selling/supplying a lot of touch ups as some one has pre-mentioned - I can no longer buy Albi Blue (RNC) which is a pain. Just had to source from my paint man instead now, but I always found the Renault Touch ups a really good match.

    My FF Cup Packed Albi 200

    A few months ago I decided to take off all 4 wheels for a proper clean.. [URL=http://s3.photobucket.com/user/Jameshigginson/media/P1020906_zpscee73264.jpg.html] Cup Spoiler painted and fitted earlier this week.. I love it and really think it finishes the car off...

    not been on for a while..

    have I missed anything interesting??? Is Roy still spamming every 5 minutes? are all the usual suspects still around? Just been up to my neck with work and the Clio (and forum) hasn't seen much love from me. :f1team07:

    My FF Cup Packed Albi 200

    cheers buddy funny you should say that. Been looking in to this for a while. Got the spoiler and bodyshop for painting lined up, and would do the fitting myself. Also looking at getting a set of Black Speedlines so I have two sets of alloys/tyres for track and road. Just depends on...

    My FF Cup Packed Albi 200

    I have to say - I'm shocked that this isn't a more popular colour. I love the Albi - It's really similar to the Subaru Blue on the B22 and P1 and my old 172 Cup Mondial Blue - it looks ace IMO on any sports car.

    197 front end on a 200 - in progress - help required!

    Good idea. I deffo wouldn't want a 200 with the old front end... but fair play for doing what you want. :jase2:

    Would you sell your 197 for this...

    This! and It's only a car - a house is 10 x more important in your life IMO. I've had to make loads of car sacrifices over the years to pay my mortgage but that's life as you get older I'm afraid. Once you get on the ladder and get your house sorted as you want it you will find that you...

    Thanks to Russ ZS

    Just wanted to say a public thanks and big up Russ ZS. I had created a few nasty swirls on a couple of panels (long story) and at short notice I gave Russ a call who slotted the Clio in between a couple of big jobs he had on. The results were stunning as usual (stuck a couple of pics on my...

    Poor paint finish - help required!

    Hi mate, I know we have been sport of discussing this on my thread as you seem to have all the same problems I do/did. http://www.clio197.net/forum/showthread.php?t=16721 I had exactly the same thing - poor swirl marked front bumper and panel where the Renault badge is - and it looked awful...
