    Head Unit questions!

    Should just show the temp and the time. I rarely have my radio on and this is what it shows.

    Clio RS F1 Facelift of Not

    That's normal for cars with Recaro seats, not matching the rear bench. It's sounding more like an early 200 with a few stickers than a 197. All those 'small' things cost a lot of money to buy. Also the rear lights are different, they look like the base model lights as the 200 kept the same...

    Clio RS F1 Facelift of Not

    Looks like a Clio RS200 to me though the front blade should be black like the trim around it. The stickers can be got easily of ebay and the plate could have come off a crashed one.

    Recommendations on bulbs

    I just went to my local car parts place (not halfords) and got silver indicator bulbs there. Were only £3 a pair and have been working for over 2 years now. No brand name on the packet though. I got my led numberplate bulbs from HIDs direct, weren't cheap but gave worked faultlessly for...

    Cig lighter works but wont charge phone

    What type of phone is it? I have an old iphone that I use in the car for music as it connects into my parrot kit that won't charge of the cigarette lighter socket (but does from the parrot kit) while my HTC One m8 charges fine of the 12v socket (but only trickle charges of the parrot kit).

    Anyone upgraded their full stereo system to Bose??

    Probably your problem there. No such thing as top quality downloads in my opinion. I rarely download any music as the quality is never there and I can always tell the difference. Having said that changing the head unit and speakers will help a bit.

    Did I get caught?

    Technically they have 6 months to tell you that you're being prosecuted, there are some exceptions but as a general rule it's a max of 6 months: http://www.driving-law.co.uk/terms/time_limits.asp

    Changing to clio from another brand

    I changed from a modified Focus ST to my current 200. Couldn't be happier. Use the car everyday as it's my only car, drove it to the Nurburgring (from Ireland) and it's never missed a beat really.

    Nope, you'll need sub frames too.

    Real or fake recaro's?

    The Corsa has Recaro Cross Sportster seats and the Clio has Recaro Sportster. The onlt different, post in the seat base with the bolster being lower in the Corsa version. Those above look like genuine Recaros that have been re-trimed in leather though it's hard yo tell with the shocking...

    In that case I'll see you in The Green Man pub for some pre game beverages! The Jets play the raiders tomorrow, could be close.

    American football.....

    Leeg320 you heading to the Wembley games at the end of the month? Yeah, the Seahawks are looking like a team that will be very very hard to beat. I would have said the Broncos too but Wes Welker went and got himself suspended for 4 games so that's a big bit if their offence gone and Mannings...

    American football.....

    Was a different team after the change, we're very unlucky to loose that game. I think the book is by Pat Kirwin or something similar. Go for the 'playbook' edition as it comes with a dvd to help a bit more.

    Video and news article about biker killed

    Doing my bike test made me a better driver, of that I have I have no doubt. I personally think everybody (who's able) should have to do some sort of bike based training. Might make them think a bit more seeing just how vulnerable bikers are. Speed on a bike is stupidly easy. I have a...

    American football.....

    Most definitely chess with people. I've use that analogy more than once myself. Didn't see the A&M game but heard it was good with an excellent QB display. I did watch the Penn State v UCF game from Croke Park in Dublin though. Great second half esp from UCF when they switched QBs. Also...

    ** Give your honest feedback about Clio197/200.net **

    I like the fact that it's a global forum, the views, ideas etc from around the world make this place more interesting. Masa used to introduce some nice gear available in Japan. steve11 having been to Oz I noticed a lot of RS Meganes about but didn't see a single Clio (RS or standard) or a...

    American football.....

    Currently watching oklahoma v tulsa on espn! I'm a big nfl fan. Go to Wembley every year for an international series game (going to the Raiders v Dolphins game in a few weeks). Personally I support the New York Jets. Can't understand people who don't get it, there's always something...

    Tyres, Oil & Plugs

    For summer I run Bridgestone Potenza RE070 tyres and for winter I'm looking at getting some Vredstein tyres though not decided which ones yet. Couldn't be happier with the Bridgestone tyres and currently on my second set. Only available in 225 width though (but it's what I run all rear...

    Finally Bought One

    Both cars looking good there. The 'cup' cars have red calipers but the world is your oyster when choosing for yourself. Do something different. Personally, and I'm speaking from experience here, I'd avoid gloss black wheels. I have them on my 200 and their a complete pain, also after 2...
