    Is your Clio your daily ride ?

    I have use of a company car, usually some form of brand new Citroen or DS, usually diesel, although at the minute I've had a 1.6 THP 165 DS 3 Cabrio for the last few months. Also got my track Clio 172 to fall back onto, and the 205 GTi to use when it's finally fixed.

    Rear Calipers & Brake kit

    Where is the cheapest place to get hold of a New Rear caliper and rear discs & pads? Not interested in pattern parts, I want Genuine Renault, but where is the best place to go, using my forum discount or not. Thanks

    The wind deflectors got fitted about 2 months ago, I forgot I had them in the garage so did end up fitting them, as for the spoiler....no, I'm still waiting, was hoping to find a genuine Cup Racer one but to no avail so it's still on the list of parts to get. I work in car sales so only usually...

    Thanks Sean. The exhaust for me has been fine, never had any issues with the noise or sound of it, it has quite a nice tone both when you on it and just tootling about, some nices pops and bangs too. I've always been one for a nice exhaust, Blitz NurSpec on my supercharged Yaris, Remus on...

    Not to worry though folks, she does get pampered and treated to a proper wash quite often, I think at the Rally was the dirtiest the Clio has ever been! As you can see in the following pics, my next subtle modification to do was to have a 3 1/4 size number plate fitted on the front, at first I...

    Should really update this after 2 years! Well the Clio has seen many little changes over the almost 2 years I have had it. Not long into ownership I managed to get hold of a K-Tec racing exhaust and de-cat pipe which promptly got fitted at working, gave the car the much needed rorty noise...

    I got my 6s from them as they were doing a silly cheap deal on a 128gb model, phone arrived next day and couldn't fault the service tbh. I did read online its the Carphone Warehouse but an online subsidary of it, which one of my work colleagues who used to work for Carphone confirmed.

    Which Front End Looks Best?

    200 all day long. Looks fresher and more modern. Remember always liking the 197 years ago and then the 200 was released and then after seeing one in the flesh and instantly forgetting about a 197. Got to have the dark lamps to match the black blade though.

    Micah's Deep Black 200

    That looks very mean all in black, and with the black inserts in the headlights too! I managed to finally clean my belts, wheel and gearknob the other week and it makes a surprising difference, loved the car smelling of a mix of washing powder and vanish too. Next task is to fully shampoo the...

    Alien Green 200 Cup *** New AG 200 (number 3) from page 85***

    That looks like a nice example! You certainly won't go wrong with the B14's for day to day use, I've had mine on for a few weeks now and cannot fault them. You got any better pics of the retrimmed wheel?

    Lowering options for later top mounts

    Yes your right, I sorted out a set of them a few weeks after this post, but forgot all about it after getting no replies. Can recommend the B14's though for a day to day set-up, just need to try them out on track and see what they are like.

    Buying a brand new car. Your thoughts

    I work in car sales so get to deal with this day in day out. Theres plenty of finance options available (PCP, Lease, HP, Cash) but what might suit one, won't suit another. If you think you'll get bored easily, look for a short term lease, or have a PCP as there is an element of flexibility, but...

    Help needed going in blind!

    If its main dealer history, just ring Renault UK and they can supply you with the information of which dealer did the servicing.

    Lowering options for later top mounts

    What are my options for lowering with the later style top mounts, was looking at Bilstein B14 but they all say for the early style top mounts.

    What exactly is my 200?

    Mines the same as yours, colour coded side strips, Climate & Red Brembo's and I class mine as a FF 200.
