    Best brakes for the road?

    I've had a search and found nothing on here so please don't shout! I'm in need of new pads on the front and back of my 200, can pick up Brembo oem spec pads, Mintex M1144 "fast road" or Ferodo Racing DS2500 for reasonable prices. I'm wanting to stop quicker, but I want longevity; which is...

    Renaultsport Racing Blue Clio 200 Maintenance Detail / Zymol Carbon

    Spent today cleaning and protecting the 200 before going up to Manchester tomorrow. With it only being a few weeks since a full decontamination, polish and seal, the car has only been driven a few times since so didn't need much doing to it, but a few new deliveries meant a few new products...

    Should I have an alloy foot rest?

    I've got a FF 200 with the cup chassis, but I don't have a metal foot rest next to the clutch, just carpet. Picture of a footrest: Should my car have one or is it an extra I have to get hold of myself? If anyone has anywhere I can get one that would be great.

    As title, what have people claimed for on warranty? (Successfully and unsuccessfully) Anything other than the usual Recaros and Gearbox problems? Issue and mileage claimed at would be good for people to see.

    Speedlines the same as Laguna Silverstones?

    As title, are the optional Speedlines on the 200 the same as the Silverstones on the 01-05 Laguna? I can't really tell much difference: And does anyone know if they will fit on a 200 as spare wheels?

    Taking a long time to warm up?

    Have had my Clio for a few weeks now and I've noticed that although the car is bringing itself up to safe temperatures in normal times, the car then starts sounding so much better after about an hour of driving. The exhaust sounds so much better with a deeper tone and 'growl' to it. Is...
