    Meglio for my 21st

    That’s a fair point. I’ll wait for the Meg bois to offer advice based on experience, but I would imagine if you want it done properly you’ll want a rebuild at the very least, and a forged engine ideally. This would be for both MK2/MK3 engines as the former are getting on quite a bit and the...

    Meglio for my 21st

    Any reason why a MK3 Megane doesn't appeal to you? You'd be able to get a decent one with 5k + selling the Clio.

    Dashboard Display - What Does It Do?

    I’ve heard it also shows you (minimal) info if you’ve got a compatible TPMS system but I’ve not seen this myself. It definitely doesn’t do anymore than you’ve observed. I have thought about getting a microcontroller (after looking at one of those canbus mileage blocker devices and how they...

    Bit of an odd one...

    Well better late than never! I can confirm that a normal bootlid (one without a spoiler) does indeed fit in the back of a Clio, surprisingly easily.

    Rear Spoiler

    Have you had a look on Oreca?

    Brembo or Renault Brake Discs?

    SNR make the bearings (on the ones I’ve seen) so I’d go with those.

    Best tyre combination?

    My neighbour who swears by rainsports and has always used them, went for PS4s recently as he couldn’t get the rainsports in time. According to him they are much better in the wet. I’ve found them great as well, particularly on an uphill road where the fronts would always spin before. Not a...

    Brembo or Renault Brake Discs?

    At a quick glance, looks like the only difference is that one has Renault tax and the other doesn't!

    Vibration from Powerflex mounts

    My old 197 had all sorts of interior trim rattle/vibrate after fitting powerflex mounts, even after they had "settled". The previous owner fitted new OEM mounts on the new Clio and they're not exactly great either. Unfortunately you either put up with increased NVH or more engine movement...

    What would you do?

    Aren’t there rumours that they’re going to be discontinued soon? If they are, I’d buy the wheels as you wouldn’t have to put that much more money in after selling the speedlines.

    Road/ocassional track tyre

    It really depends on how aggressive your driving is, how long you’re out on track/how many laps, how abrasive the track surface is etc.

    CLIP software in/ near Stoke

    You've got Birchdown to the north and RS Four Ashes to the south, both of whom are the closest garages to Stoke I can think of.

    Projector headlights vs Reflector headlights

    Isn't that because the light ouput for LEDs is below the threshold for headlamp washers, unlike Xenons?

    Supercharger Kit Proline Motorsport

    Is that a MK3 engine as IIRC 300lbft is the accepted limit on standard MK2s.

    Clio 200 - Lowered without spacers

    Sorry for the spam but one with Autec Wizards:

    Clio 200 - Lowered without spacers

    Any update on why? Are they concentrating on the new Autec wheel that looks similar (I think it was called the clubsport).

    Clio 200 - Lowered without spacers

    A pic of a 197 lowered 30mm without spacers, not the best but gives a better idea of how much they really need spacers on OEM wheels:
