    Steering Wheel Trim Recommendations?

    I had perforated leather on the sides and smooth leather top/bottom from royal steering wheels: Havent had it for ages but it still looks amazing. I wanted to have the OEM+ look going on so avoided alcantara.

    Quote for fitting battery

    Very simple job, even if you don't have the tools now will probably be cheaper to buy them than to pay that labor charge... Plenty of videos about explaining how to do it, this was the first result and it looks like it's on a mk3 clio so will be familiar:

    Strange noise when cooling fan starts up

    Sounds exactly the same as mine apart from the high pitch squeak just as the fan stopped. Doesn't mean it's meant to sound like that though.

    Thinking about getting a cat

    Been around cats my entire life, we have 4 at the moment. First thing I would say is always try to get a rescue one. Some of the shit these animals have been through is horrific and there are plenty of them in need of a home. They are fairly easy to care for, fed and watered and that's pretty...

    Exhaust Advice

    Renault do seem to have a thing about over-pricing plastic parts. The black vent grilles on the back of the wheel arches are £100 each :money:

    Clio 200 Supercharged Track Car!

    Looks and sounds like a lot of fun... Shove a bit of cotton wool up the exhaust and that'll sort your noise issues out :thumb:

    Nimbus 2008 197

    So this is a post I never wanted to make, but I suppose it was only a matter of time. A few nights ago I was driving along some roads, all gritted and clear. Came over a small bridge to find on the other side was a random patch of sheet ice. Ended up losing it and hitting a curb almost head on...

    New here looking for audio advice

    Try getting into the eq and dropping highs and boosting mids. Idk if it was specific to my speakers but the highs were way too loud and there was no mid... I have a set of Pioneer TS-G1333i installed in the front with nothing in the rear. They are pretty crap, the bass just gets distorted at...
