Welcome! Lovely looking car mate

Jordan, I had the same problem so I put my bird on my insurance (She's 24 driving since 17) and it made it go down quite a bit. Im 23 and driving for a year and still pay 1500£ though it also depends where you live, because at my old house the insurance was a lot higher. Try asking your Mum or...

I think he was referring too if i had bought my own manifold they would be able to replace it for the old one for 293.50£ + VAT

Yeah i just emailed them to confirm that as i thought it was pretty cheap, turns out that is the fitting cost and the actual manifold itself is £499+ VAT So pretty pricey!

Mine is horrific, it sounds like a harley davidson motorbike at the moment. And it feels alot slower so i am definitely getting it looked at ASAP. I messaged K-tec and they have said that is 293.50£ +VAT to fit their manifold which i didnt think was too bad..

I will try and get a video later when i finish work and upload, it seems to be noisier when the car is cold. Do you have any idea how much this will cost to fix if it is a problem with the flexis? I dont really have any idea what i am talking about so you two have helped massively :P

Hi all, Hoping you could help, my clio 58000 miles 08 plate has started making some loud blowing/rattling noises when accelerating or even pressing the accelerator standstill. The noise is sort of a rattling blowing sort of noise and i was wondering what this could be? Looking through the...

Hahaha really i was picking up a friend to watch the England game! It is a small world, hows the micra compared to the clio :lol:

Haha stephen i remember you saying before, i think i saw your clio build on the forums too looks quality! Do you take out your clio much, there is some decent roads near us! And cheers guys

Hi posted a couple of days ago that i was looking for a clio, i used to own one before and missed it so much i had to get another one! Im in basingstoke in the hampshire area, if anyone fancies going on a drive one day give me a shout!!

Got around 6k to spend

Hi Guys, I used to have a Red Clio 197 and really loved it! Was my first car but decided to sell it for some reason as was commuting to work, and petrol was a bit pricey! Anyway i realize i have made a huge error of judgement, and need a clio back in my life! If anyone knows of anyone selling...

Haha your car is literally the image i had of what i wanted my car to look like! I am not sure where i would get a spoiler in red from though i think yours is a cup spoiler? i was thinking of getting the smaller spoiler but couldnt find one anywhere in red.

Yeah i think i will get it done professionally after seeing your comments, will book it in next month and show you the results :) The ANT can i also ask did you put your spoiler on yourself? aswell as the front spoiler looks really good! :)

I may go matt black but everything else on the car has been painted in gloss black so it might look a bit weird? I called my local alloy guys today and they have quote £60 per wheel for a powder coated and and extra £20 to have the center caps done seems like a bit of a rip off????

Yeah i agree i didn't think about the mirrors but thinking about it that would look quite nice :) i have never sprayed alloys as this is my first car, but is it as simple as i think? or have you not done much yourself either?

So... I have the RS 200 alloys currently on my 197 but have always fancied the look of black alloys as the car is color coded red and black. I was wondering if anyone had experience spraying alloys and if it would look good if done well? Or does anyone know where you can buy the alloys or...

Hi Guys, I have had a mishap and somehow reversed into my gate slightly and cracked the wheel arch on my front left wing. The crack is about 6 cm but has also scraped a small amount of paint i will upload pictures to follow. I was wondering if anyone had any experience of having any bodywork...

Hi Lads, I am looking to replace the standard speakers and stereo in my 197 this weekend but was wondering if anyone had any recommendations? Also are the speakers 13cm in front and back usually? Not sure about a subwoofer but if anyone has any recommendations or can advise on what they have...

Yeah i think the box could be a good thing as its quite a powerful car, just a quick question when my dad was driving it back everything sounded sweet with the car but if you went over 5000/6000 revs and let off it sort of kicks.. is that normal?
