    Yo! Good to meet you quickly yesterday. That's the most unorganised petrol station I've been to. James

    Why can't you retrofit xenon headlights?

    I would focus more on the beam pattern, so by fitting the projectors, you're concentrating the beam of light in a more direct way than scattering it with a reflector and blinding people. That should get you through an MOT at least anyway. I didn't have issues with aftermarket xenon kits in...

    Let down by garage

    Cheers everyone, Waiting on a few bits to come through. I figured while it was in bits it was a good opportunity to have it put back together my way. Scorpion cat-back came last week and some Kalatzis camshafts should be on their way over from Greece for me. Once it's done, I'm having a...

    Let down by garage

    Afternoon all, I've dug out my old thread because I thought people would be interested to know the outcome, should anyone find themselves in a similar situation. After pretty much a year of tooing and frowing, it's been successfully challenged and won, but it hasn't been easy. I'm sure a lot...

    Let down by garage

    I understand it's a really unlucky situation. As said, with it having services as several different garages, proving where the tool came from is super tricky and probably not worth pursuing. I haven't had the car thoroughly inspected as yet, only as far as taking the cam cover off and the...

    Let down by garage

    Hi all, Haven't posted much since I returned to the forum with a new Clio after a brief stint in a Fiesta ST but I've come to a bit of a catch 22 and I'm after a bit of friendly forum advice. I bought a 61 plate Racing Blue 200 around 4 months ago. Immaculate, full Renault/renown-specialist...

    Hi gang, I was around here a couple of years ago with my 197. This weekend, I picked up an '11 plate 200 FF in Racing Blue with Recaros and Cup Pack. Already treated it to some new discs and Ferodo DS2500 pads. I look forward to attending more 197.net meet ups and events. Cheers! James

    IKEA promo video

    Has anyone been to IKEA recently? I was stood in their Southampton shop yesterday watching a video about their home design and the outside shot featured a lovely 200 Gordini on the drive! Anyone else spotted this??

    One of many joining clio.net

    Welcome dude. I almost bought a Silverstone not too long ago - they should have a plaque on the pillars and by the handbrake. The one I test drove did anyway, so I guessed it was standard for a limited edition? Lovely car regardless, enjoy!

    Other cars in your household

    Got a new Fiesta Zetec S couple of weeks ago. 1.0 three pot turbo. Got it as a bit of daily eco-warrior for my other half. I'm impressed with it so far! It's pretty nippy and returns good mpg
