    Nürburgring Nordschleife Nissan GTR Crash / Renault Clio

    You need to read your insurance doc carefully. I know 100% mine states in the exclusions 'Nurburgring Nordschleife'. As for costs if you crash: These are a few years old now but give you a ball park figure. Also armco comes in 10m sections and is 3 sections high, they can't just replace...

    2015: Car Insurance

    Just renewed with Admiral for £260 fully comp with commuting and business use (needed for claiming milage at work). I live in Northern Ireland where insurance is always much higher than mainland UK, just check the small print on the TV ads to see how many don't cover NI. 33 yrs old and 11...

    Small missing door part

    I noticed the small rubber did stop missing of mine as well. Think I've dislodged it while cleaning. And while it's probably not that important it's annoying me now I've noticed it. For me I'll head to a scrap yard and get another one.

    Engine movement

    I have the three Powerflex mounts/inserts fitted. They are very 'vibey' at first but do bed in a lot. Yes, there is still more vibration than with standard mounts but nothing that's too bad . only notice it at idle though.

    Would Recaro console from clio 3 RS fit in clio IV

    And a translation: Checking and seeing is your best bet as stated above. The Recaro emails aren't too complicated so should be fairly easy to have suitable ones made up in required.

    Spray painting

    Use a fine paper on plastic and a plastic primer too. Satin is the easiest finish to get perfect in my opinion. Take your time and as stated several thin coats are much better than one thick coat. Don't aim for full coverage in one coat, some primer should still be visible after one coat in...

    RenaultSport branded number plates

    Yeah. Pretty much any decent graphics company could do that. Probably better in all honesty as the square around the Renault badge doesn't look too hot.

    Tyre size on a 7" wheel

    That makes a lot more sense. Yeah, it will be fine.

    Tyre size on a 7" wheel

    A 200 profile? Not sure thats right as I've never seen a 200 tyre before. I assume your talking rim width here, if so 205 will be fine on a 7" wide alloy. Your choices will be 195 or 205 I'd say. You get a 215 on it without any issues too.

    Loose heat shield

    Or as my mate did on his Focus the bottom of an old coke can with a hold drilled in it! Edit, knew I had a photo!

    Passenger door break in

    Call the police (or call into you local station), give a statement and get a crime reference number. Then apply to the compensation agency (or that's what they are called here in Northern Ireland anyway) as a victim of crime. You might be entitled to compensation. I say might as they have a...

    Vehicle Sales/Advertising Website Research

    I found my 200 on Used Cars NI and the Scooby on Pistonheads. Don't even consider cars for sale on Gumtree, don't know why but I've a thing against it. Usually check AutoTrader but not bought anything from it.
