    Trading in

    Well after looking for a replacement and trying to get a desent price for the Clio i've just done a deal tonight so either this weekend or the next i'll be a non Renault owner again. I've enjoyed the Clio for the past 4 months but as the warranty has now expired i'm worried about the big bills...

    P/X values

    Well i've been looking at other cars again as i'm getting bored with the car after 3 months which always happens. Had friday off work so just spent 2 days detailing it so it's spot on but i guess due to lack of accessories for the Clio there's nothing really left to do (don't want to start...

    Door trim vinyl

    My exterior door trims between the windows have gone very faded, i've tried all the products (wll ok not all) and couldn't get them black again. Today i was at a loss so put some shoe polish on and they did come out looking a lot better ;) Rubbed it in with a cloth, let it dry then buffed...

    Laguna alloys

    Has anyone fitted the Laguna alloys to a Clio? These are 7x17 and look almost the same as the Speedline wheels but can be bought for around £100 a set on ebay. The only difference looks to be inbetween the V on the spokes but painted in black wouldn't really be noticeable? I wouldn't think...

    Door pillar trims

    My black door pillar trims on the exterior are looking really shabby - very faded and nothing i've used will bring them back to life - is this another "common problem" ? Is the only sure remedy to replace them and has anyone done it? - i guess they just peel off then stick the new ones on?

    Panel paint

    I've noticed on most Clio sports the paint seems to be slightly different shades on the wings and doors? It appears on most/ all colours where the wings look the same but the doors are slightly different - has anyone else noticed? I know plastics when painted show different to metal panels...

    Gloss or Satin black?

    Well i'm having my standard 200 twin 5 spokes repainted this month (not powdercoated after hearing bad things) but can't decide on gloss or satin black? The gloss would match the mirrors and bumper sections but on the last car gloss always looked dirty so i'm leaning more towards satin Has...

    Picked it up :)

    Well today i changed the Coras VXR for a 200FF with Cup pack Driving the 80 miles to swap the VXR was showing 37mpg average on a 75+ run, the Clio was showing 32mpg at a steady 65- 70mph (ok not such a biggie) The Clio without a turbo really suprised me as it felt just as quick mid range when...
