Clio got PX'd today for a cooper s. A new journey begins. :f1team07:

Selling up the SG 200 and probably getting a older cooper S. Oh how the mighty have fallen. So i'm opening up for abuse and also suggestions as to what i can pick up for £4-6k second hand that would be just as fun as the clio. Answers on a postcard, abuse on a brick. -AJ

Just thought id post a little information and ask a little advice. 1 year on, bought the 200 brand-spanking-new. Engine has eaten through the complimentary litre of ELF and a litre of Castrol. Both 5w40 fully synthetic. Is this normal? My daily drive is approx 5mins up and down a...

Spotted you going round the roundabout at the top of cosham (Northern rd going onto southampton rd.) Rare to see the stripes down my neck of the woods, you a local?

I was trying to look up the differences between the 197 and R27... Aside from a little lowering and a little stiffening... is there anything special under the hood? Is there a little va va voom *honk*honk* Or can these modifications be made to any clio?

Not that im interested in selling my Clio any time soon; but this question goes out to any who have moved on or tried other cars. What is as fun to drive as the 197/200? Ive heard reports about mini's, 500's and Bimmers. But lets be realistic, what is as 'FUN' as a clio?! Answers on a...

Saw you coming up the hill as i was coming down it. Tidy motor! loving the nimbus.

Just ordered some calliper paint from Demon Tweeks. As I have a Full Fat 200 with silver brembos which are totally not noticeable! But why stick with brembo red... That's right! We're going GREEN up in this b**ch! Mainly I need some advice from people who have painted their callipers before...

Hi guys, wanted to pick some brains. I bought a Full Fat 200 last year, love the car but i feel the ride could benefit from being a touch more 'racing'. How can this be achieved without bankrupting myself? Can you just fit stiffer/lower springs to the standard suspension? Or am i...

I've got wrapping mad! Just got some 3M 1080 Carbon effect delivered. Will Cover the Dash strips, and steering wheel clip-on tonight. Keep 'em peeled for pics later! In the meantime, Any advice about wrapping with the carbon? anything i need to watch out for? like lining up the carbon...

Tried to wrap my rear diamond 5 times now... i can't get the 3M material into the center of the diamond. I'm using a hot air gun with variable heat, and every time i soften up the material in the center, it bounces back and un-sticks itself! Any pro-tips? before i get fed up and try and wrap...

Saw you at the roundabout at the top of the hill, then you bombed it down Southwick Rd. I was on Foot (Random guy holding a yellow tube) Got to ask if you are on here, have you had anything done to your car? Exhaust? Intake? Remap? Becuase ive never been passed on foot by a clio...

has anyone though about giving their shark some teeth? Example: (Calling photoshop wizkids!)

Air-con stopped pumping out delicious cold air. (much needed this summer!) And a strange exhaust rattle between 3k-4k rpm when accelerating. These are both warranty items i'm convinced. Am i wrong? Anyone got any tips for dealing with renault servicing?

Has anyone on the site used a good tree sap removing product? I've used autoglym but it only seems to work on tar and some bugs. The sap spots are little yellow and orange dots that seems to stick to your car like glue. Nail-based removal results in ghastly yellow streaks on the paint work...

Passed the duke of Edinburgh hotel in barrow-in-Furness. I was inside having a drink watching the world go by :-)
