    Awful finish on new cup spoiler - this normal?

    I've just received a new Cup spoiler from the Renault dealer within our motor group. As far as I'm aware this came direct from Renault, and took a couple of days to arrive. No opened packaging or old order stickers. Ive opened it up and it looks awful! Covered in pigtails, scuffs and marks...

    Any other Clios have better carpet?

    Thanks, but afraid I meant the main floor carpet, not the mats!

    Any other Clios have better carpet?

    One thing that I don't like about the Clio is the quality of the floor carpet. This may sound a bit picky, but with two children in and out of it twice a day, I find the rough texture of the carpet a bugger for getting clean. If memory serves me right, in sure later 172/182 had a nice thick...

    Any 200T gearbox failures out there yet?

    Anyone experienced total failure of their 200T gearbox yet, or do they seem to holding up pretty well? I ask as I've two young sons, who won't be much smaller in a year or so. We currently drive a 200, which is fine at the moment, but there will be a time when 5 doors will be needed. I can't...

    Warranty

    I deal with them often at work, are really hit and miss. My mother-in-law has an AA one for her Mini. The flywheel failed so I took it into my work and changed it there. Would only pay what they could get a trade price flywheel for, and only £35 an hour (we usually charge 85+vat). I was...

    Upgrade to better standard Head Unit

    I've got the unit you've pictured - sound is ok, but I fitted an aftermarket unit and it made the speakers clip constantly. I've just bought a 200 with a different unit again and it sounds so much better. I'll grab an image tonight. Should all be plug and play with each other.

    Is this right or is my car underpowered?

    My old 1.6 mk1 Eunos would happy sit behind a friends ph1 172 up to 70mph. Both cars were dyno'd at a ClioSport day that day and made 115bhp and 160bhp. It's purely down to weight and aerodynamics.

    Raider - worth the extra price tag?

    £500 towards mods, 4K on furniture for the house more like! Just picked it up, man is the Cup chassis so much better to drive.

    Raider - worth the extra price tag?

    Decided against it in the end, after much thought I just couldn't justify a 4.5k premium just to be different. Just picked up an albi blue 200 Cup with everything aside from sat back, 23k on the clock with FSH for 9k.

    Raider - worth the extra price tag?

    I'm speaking to the previous owner today regarding the car. My 197 that I'm part exchanging doesn't owe me anything, and they've offered me 3k for it which I'm happy with.

    Raider - worth the extra price tag?

    We looked at a new 220, but I just don't like the thought of pumping £280 a month into a car I've still got to pay 8k to own in 4 years. She hates the standard Recaros fitted to 197/200's, neither the leather quilted ones. Seems like the Raider ticks all the right boxes. Although I think she's...

    Raider - worth the extra price tag?

    I like Meganes, but the car is driven by my Wife the majority of the time, and she's not comfortable in one. I just can't see what they really offer over a good 200 Cup. But she hates the Recaros fitted to those. No pleasing her!

    Raider - worth the extra price tag?

    I'm tempted by a grey 200 Radier that Ktec are selling. It looks fantastic, but the £13500 price tag seems a little high. I've since seen on here that it's been in an accident (I've messaged the previous owner). I really like the idea of having a car that stands out, and has desirability, but...

    Think that's just a demo, sure they have it on AutoTrader too quoting not for sale.

    RenaultSport Clio 220 Trophy: Better than before?

    When I enquires a few weeks ago I was told I'd have one by the end of September! If it's going to be December-January time, we'll have the 275bhp 308 gti here, could be tempted by that.

    RenaultSport Clio 220 Trophy: Better than before?

    I'm very tempted by the 208 gti by Peugeot Sport. Look great in pearl white and as a staff member I can get one for £185 a month. Renault want £235 for a basic Trophy with a higher deposit (£2000 against £4000).
