Do you mind me asking how the locking wheel nuts cost? and a link if possible please
Nice and clean as usual!
They were about £40, they seem to be that price pretty much everywhere (including Halfords). I just bought mine off eBay though as I figured by the time I drove to Halfords, it would have cost me more than getting these delivered to my door.
Heres your link...

Thanks very much.
I think the bumps in the rubbers is just down to luck of where you choose to place the clips. I'll get a few more details pics of both frames to show you where I placed the clips tomorrow. Other than that I just treated the rubbers with Auto Finesse Revive.

UPDATE 17.03.2013
Just a small update for [MENTION=4553]shubz197[/MENTION] as he asked where I’d placed the clips for my wind deflectors as they hadn’t really created any bumps in the window rubbers.
Passenger Side
There were three clips used for the wind deflector on the passenger side.
This clip could possibly have been done with being moved more toward the pillar as there is a slight movement in the wind deflector, but its not really worth the hassle to correct it.
Driver Side
Surprisingly I have only used one clip on the driver side. I thought I’d used more and through the week I’ll add a couple more to secure it a bit more.
As you can see below thankfully the clips haven’t affected the rubbers too badly but they are still visible.
I did also treat the rubbers with Auto Finesse Revive, not sure if it made that much of a difference, but it can't have done them any harm.

UPDATE 01.04.2013
So things have been a bit quite over the past two to three weeks on the clio front as I've been laid up with a bad back. But with basically being restricted to the house I've been spending a bit more time on eBay looking for random odds and ends to add to the clio.
A sight thats common to most 197 owners.
My latest purchase.
I'm not 100% sure I needed this as I have no spare wheel in the car to change over if I get a flat, but at least the tool kit in the boot is not complete.

UPDATE 10.04.2013
Yesterday saw me finally getting around to touching in some of the stone chips on the R27. I'd waiting off until now in the hope the temperature would rise a bit and thankfully it did.
Unfortunately due to the typical Northern Irish weather when I woke up this morning it was raining, so applying the lacquer will have to wait.
New Addition
Not happy with just the R27 around the house we also added this two year old 200RS with just 847 miles.
There will be a thread coming for it very soon I'm sure.

Its an ex demo that was simply never used. So so happy with it though, its a completely different car to the R27.
