    Painting 200 exhaust tips?

    Has anyone ever painted a 200's exhaust tips? I'm thinking of doing mine black. I think they're some kind of metal, what paint and process would you recommend?

    200: White 200 with R200 plate New Lubbersthorpe, Leicester

    Saw this parked up, while I was on my lunch time walk, possibly owned by a builder working on the new houses? Funny, that road we nickname speedbump alley, I've driven down it once in my Clio, never again. Also, there is a roundabout that leads into this road sponsored by Bilstein, wondered if...

    Rear brakes rubbing

    NS rear brake has been squealing a bit while driving and recently noticed while reversing it squeals even louder, also it's been pulling to the left a bit. Took it to a garage a few months ago and they said it just needed some grease on the pads, so I said I'd do it myself. Finally got round...

    Headlight bulbs for Clio 200 FF

    Hi, just noticed one of my dipped beam bulbs has gone. I'm sure this has been asked before but can't seem to find a definite answer. Would appreciate if someone pointed me in the right direction. For an '09 Clio 200 with cup pack (black surrounds in headlights): Which bulbs and what fitment...

    197: Albi blue 197 Wigston, Leicester

    This morning followed a racing blue 182 into Wigston, but then parked near a very nice AB 197 in the Wilko car park in Wigston, then again in b&q car park a few minutes later! The colour is even nicer in person, I've not seen one up close before.

    Road tyre recommendations

    I'm almost in the market for some new tyres. I've never been on a track, not really sure if I intend to yet, either. I'm a pretty sensible driver, but I enjoy some spirited fast b roads every now and again. Currently running 3 different tyres from the previous owner and a couple are showing...

    Studs too long?

    Just doing a test fit of my TRS stud conversion. Got 62mm for the rear and 70mm for the front. Planning to run 19mm spacers. Do these studs look too long on the rear? There's a little thread showing.

    Tint removal

    I bought my car last year and it was advertised as having factory tinted windows. I don't think they are factory as I was under the impression that meant the glass itself was tinted rather than having a film over it. There's a small rip in the rear drivers side window so I thought about...

    Nimbus 200 Narborough Honda dealership

    I think it was a 200 anyway, had a 200 diffuser. I was giving way to a load of cars and only realised it was an RS after drove by.

    Steam coming from around coolant tank

    I got home from work today and opened the bonnet to check on another issue, but noticed a lot of steam coming from around the coolant tank. I turned the car off after leaving it to run for a few mins. I came back a bit later and got the car warmed up again - same thing. 3rd time I went out and...

    Fitting a Scorpion exhaust

    Just got a good deal on a resonated scorpion catback. I'd like to install it myself, is there anything I should know? Looking at the akra manual the diffuser needs to be removed and a cut needs to be made near the bend - is that part necessary? Then undo the clamp in front of the mid cat. Do...

    OAP Clio 200

    So my trusty, practical Blobeye WRX wagon died a couple of months ago and I thought what better car to replace it with than a 3 door Clio. My mate (who is probably on this forum) took me for a ride in his LY R27 a while ago, and railed it round some corners - I just thought it was a mental...
