    Trial Fitted - Thoughts

    This. The spoiler-less look is growing on me with mine.

    Trial Fitted - Thoughts

    It'll never be a 100% match, as it's from a different car with differing paint weathering/oxidisation etc, unless you have it blended in to the surrounding paintwork. That would essentially mean having the roof, tailgate, and possibly the top of the rear quarters painted which is way OTT for a...

    Big spec 200 Cup *FOR SALE*

    It's proving it that'll be the tough part (I obviously believe you). A few years ago I had a non-car related dispute with a company and got a solicitor to write a letter threatening legal action. The letter only cost me £30 so might be worth a try.

    Clio 200 Valeo Projector Headlights dipped beam height adjustment

    Not sure if the 200 lights are the same, maybe @turkie172 can help further.

    Clio 200 Valeo Projector Headlights dipped beam height adjustment

    https://clio197.net/threads/adjusting-headlights.58927/ I would check the bulbs are seated correctly first, then follow @turkie172 's instructions in the thread above.

    What To Do ?

    The fact you're even asking the question tells me instantly you have at least some reservations. I'd therefore go the non-drilling route.

    Gutted for you mate. Maybe mapped a bit too rich?

    Car holding back at 2k revs but sounds really boomy

    Was the engine warm or cold when it did it? Which gear were you in? Might be best to try and get a video of it happening.

    New 197 owner (repairs to commence)

    Yeah now that I think of it you could be right.

    New 197 owner (repairs to commence)

    The 'generic' versions are for non-sport models and have the radiator bracket in the wrong place (fine if you have the capability to cut it off and re-weld it in the correct position). It's also worth checking with Renault UK to see if they'll cover the replacement cost under their...

    Counting my blessings

    Firstly, glad your friend is OK and you didn't hit anyone else. Secondly, good that you're OK. I won't rub it in, I remember how I felt when my albi meglio was written off. Hopefully you declared all your mods and get a payout, and maybe put the dreams of an S3 on the back-burner for a few...

    What tyres for X85?

    After a quick search, 7.5 and 8j speedlines are both 10.5kg.

    What tyres for X85?

    Not sure on the weights, I'd have to check. In terms of the 8j vs 7.5, I went for them purely for looks as obviously the 8j fill the arches a little better, and I got them in mint condition for sub £400.

    What tyres for X85?

    For track use I agree, but mine are for road use where you'd never notice the difference between 215 and 225.

    What tyres for X85?

    I had, and still have, 215s on my 8j cup racers with no issues whatsoever.

    What tyres for X85?

    215 are fine and 'look' the best, I find 225s look too big. 225 are usually cheaper though.You can't go wrong with many of the major brands, Michelin Pilots, Goodyear Eagle etc. I think most would be hard-pushed to notice a difference between them on the road. I have Uniroyal Rainsport 5 on my...
