Some delightful fellow took it upon themselves to key down the side of my car whilst it was parked outside my girlfriend's house, so I'm looking for someone to sort that out for me. The front wing looks like the mark might be quite deep but I'm hoping the rest can get away with a correction as...

It was indeed. I was fortunate enough be the first to contact him, first to see the car in person and I bought it then and there.

A few other small changes to appease the OCD. The 'elf' and 'cliosport' stickers in the rear window weren't aligned in any way whatsoever so I decided to get rid of the 'elf' badge. The cliosport sticker remains for the time being. Before: After: The Recaros already had renaultsport...

Anyone know the best way to get hold of Snappy? I pm'd him about a week ago now and haven't heard back yet.

Yeah it's been a long time coming! I've wanted a renaultsport clio for ages and it's even better than I thought it would be! Thanks, I find the 197 style badge a lot more pleasing to the OCD eye haha. I couldn't be doing with the RENAULT part being all upper case, the sport part being all...

Bloody hell that's good! My first year's insurance was £2660 on a 1.2 16v clio with no mods, I had a box fitted and had limited miles!

Car's come along really well mate! Loving the tasteful mods and keeping it looking fresh. I must ask though, which insurer are you with that'll let you do all these mods?!

Thanks mate, the seats are what really sold it to me, they're great!

Thanks for the feedback. I think they might suit darker coloured cars better as I loved the way the looked on the Odyssey dci. Going to have to agree to disagree about the badge though, I think it looks a little more modern now personally.

A few non sport owners may recognise my name from one of my previous projects. My car history is as follows: Started with an Odyssey blue 1.2 16v ph2 clio which I bought standard but ended up looking like this when I was nearly finished with it: I then bought an Odyssey blue dci80 with some...

Just removed the old-fashioned looking standard renaultsport badge from my boot and have a 197 style badge waiting to go on. I was just wondering what people used to make sure it was positioned correctly? Has anyone measured out where it should be to be sort of inline with the Clio badge on the...

I was thinking of just coming for the Saturday but I'd really like to do the parade lap on the Sunday. I'm tempted by the VIP weekender ticket due to the hog roast BBQ but what are people doing for food otherwise? Would we be alright to bring disposable BBQs and stuff? What's everyone else's...

Noticed on the drive home yesterday that I was lacking in power mid range. I used to be able to hear the turbo quite prominently (possibly due to boost leak) but now I can barely hear it at all and the car is very noticibly slower mid range, where it used to peak torque. Runs fine apart from...

Could anyone suggest which tyres are best out of the following? I'm looking for good wet and dry performance and tread wear rates are also a factor. The tyres are all very similarly priced so that's not really a factor. Pirelli Pzero GT Continental Premium Contact 2 Michelin Pilot Sport 3 Cheers

I've got these, I found they look much better with a 172 rear bumper:
