    Nimbus grey 197 :)

    I also bought some Team Heko wind deflectors locally back in the summer, which are now for sale! (Pics mainly FTAO Curley!) Also a quick pic of my cup racer wheels before Tom (GrumpyTwig) had them refurbished! In a pretty sorry state as you can see!

    Nimbus grey 197 :)

    Cheers mate. Nope, not yet. I need to make something to allow it to fit. (I have seen them on here somewhere!) Might have been you?! :) Was thinking of getting another Clio towing eye from a local scrapyard and cutting the loop off, then turning the towing eye down, then cutting a 12mm thread...

    Nimbus grey 197 :)

    Well, to be honest mate, it feels quite a bit different with this set up, but the brakes weren't working to their full potential as standard anyway. On the offside front caliper, one of the pads was as new, but the other was almost down to metal! This was because the pads had seized on the pins...

    Nimbus grey 197 :)

    Looking back through my Facebook mobile uploads, I now remember what I did buy for the car over the summer.... RS steering wheel trim... And new brakes....... Went for the KTR grooved discs, with the Ferodo DS Performance front and rear pads! I had to get the new brakes due to the well...

    Cheers mate. Can't wait to get some tyres wrapped on them and start using them! :D

    Nimbus grey 197 :)

    Haven't had this updated for quite some time now, probably because there hasn't been much to update! Haha. Anyway, several friends of mine had organised a Rolling Road day back in December, as a bit of fun to see what power all of our cars have..... 184 BHP result. A pretty good result, I...

    What has gone wrong with your Clio?

    Door pillar seals / strips replaced on the day I picked up my 197, then and there. I agreed to buy my nimbus on the condition it had a large scratch removed. They didn't do it. Car machine polished to get rid of a mark that they said they would do, and eventually did after me contacting...

    Rear brake pad change - HELP!

    I got there in the end! Just about. Lol. Used a g clamp to compress it, whilst using an angle grinder spanner to turn it. Sounds a bit dodgy, but it was fine. Just couldn't compress it enough with my hands! Haha

    Rear brake pad change - HELP!

    Hi chaps. I'm midway through changing my rear brake pads, but I cannot get the pistons back in. Been trying for a good hour now, twisting them clockwise but they just will not budge! HELP PLEASE! Jake

    Clio 197 front brake issue

    Well, I definately need new pads all round as the rears are very worn through wear and tear and on the offside front, one pad is like new, whereas the other has about 5mm left on it. I'm not convinced the discs are totally knackered either. They just have a build up of brake dust/road grime...

    Clio 197 front brake issue

    Cheers mate, so this is quite a common thing for the standard pads on the 197's then? Also thanks for the guide :)

    Clio 197 front brake issue

    Thanks guys. Yeah, I'm used to playing with spanners and cars. ;) Just it's a bit annoying as my argument was that these discs and pads still have a good life left in them (or would have) so I don't see why I should be forking out for the replacements. (Or at least not all of the cost...

    Clio 197 front brake issue

    Hi chaps, sorry I don't come on here much! Basically, I have got an issue with the front brakes on my Clio. On both front calipers, one of the pads isn't coming onto the disc. One side of the caliper is working fine, however the other side doesn't appear to be working at all. Therefore, one...

    Nimbus grey 197 :)

    Anyway, I fitted my 200 diffuser. I'm still waiting for my exhaust trims to come through but should be here tomorrow or Tuesday and anyway, I got impatient. Haha. Looks soooo much better in my opinion and I'm chuffed to bits with it! Was so easy to fit too! I couldn't believe it! I was...
