I'm not a springs fan but if it was the only option available I would go for Eibach, perfect enough drop and their spring rates are far better than H&Rs. Thing is that you are losing damper travel and most importantly there is only one kind available for purchase. Now, there are 4 different...

Awesome introduction. Loving this thread already:) Great selection of cars, that S2k seems tastefully modified, the new owner got a nice car!

And that shows that there are always people looking for a cherished car, no matter what brand that is. Congrats on your rapid sale and more than fair pricing mate. The new owner is a lucky sod. So the million dollar question, how are you planning to fill up the garage then?

Lovely stuff. I love the progress updates and the fact that you are handy with the spanner. Great story. How are you planning to tackle the front bumper then mate? Full respray?

UPDATE. The car has now been repaired under warranty. Even though they changed the warranty clauses they eventually - and after many phonecalls and emails - decided to honour it as a gesture of good will. Maybe they realised that I simply wouldn't go away who knows... Positive outcome but it...

@Doogle This is how I opened my case. The first thing I did was to call Renault UK and explain the situation. They asked for pictures and I sent them a few clearly showing the rust. I identified the part I was talking about and I also mentioned that according to the T&Cs it "should" be covered...

Hi all, There have been many threads on this including this good one; https://clio197.net/threads/front-radiator-support-aka-front-subframe-please-read.59899/ but let's have a definitive thread with names/cars about this ongoing issue. It clearly seems that Renault has been using some totally...

This is awesome, thanks mate. My car is at the dealership because I'm chasing Renault UK to replace my radiator support bar, it's rusty so they should honour the 12 year anti corrosion warranty, let's see, should be interesting!

Mate may I ask where you got those bolts that replaced the upper bumper ones in the engine bay? mine are looking nuff so I was looking to replace them with some more presentable ones! cheers

Good progress here. I think you have to learn how to upload pics! We need to see the current state of this car:)

Car is looking awesome as always mate. Great job on the steering wheel as well!

Glad you are enjoying your car mate and you are happy with it. Well you say that but the number of conversions I've seen lately is unreal. On this rate it seems that there would be no more NA Clios going on soon!

Car is looking awesome and fair play for doing the alignment on your own, that is something i might be looking into as well. What toe are you running?

One thing is for sure. It looks awesome, hopefully the drive would eventually be on a similar level!

Shame to hear that but I kind of expecting such an update in all honesty. Cars are meant to be driven and not spend years at the garage, especially when things don't go to plan it's easy to lose faith and interest. Especially when there is - a lot - of money involved. What really makes me sad...

I used my Revolut card (virtual banking) through Paypal to avoid the atrocious Paypal exchange rates. IIRC i saved around 80 euros by doing that.

Yes mate that would be correct. They come with spigot rings and I bought them from a guy in Italy, it was far cheaper than anything else I could find in the UK and at the time the exchange rate was sweet. I don't remember his name but a quick look back on paypal returned his email address...

So I'm not the only one then, phew, I thought I was going crazy:) Absolutely Nick, and my point is exactly that. How can an established to the field mechanic claim that they can "reliably" do it on a stock high compression engine...

Very good progress! This is some neat installation.
