    335i - Akrapovič

    To be fair, the £850 was a discounted group buy..... they were £1200 originally! All in this thread mate..... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?545084-My-Civic-Type-R-(FD2)-project-(Includes-overpriced-GruppeM-loveliness)&highlight=fd2

    335i - Akrapovič

    ​On the whole cost thing, any ideas on whether the Akrapovic exhausts hold their value better than most? I remember people thought I was mental when I spunked £850 on a GruppeM induction kit for my old FD2, but given someone offered me £800 to buy it off me when I was selling the car, it...

    CLIO IV RS - Trophy from page 111

    I remember years ago, this 25 year old thing happened to me when I was looking buying a R27 at 21 years old. A quick email to RUK, and a couple days later I had the dealer back on the phone saying that they were now able to sort me with a test drive......

    Clio 4 RS VS Fiesta ST EcoBoost

    Whilst I prefer the ST's looks externally, I'm not keen on the Ford's interior at all. To my eyes the centre console just looks like a cluttered mess.

    This is why i'm not an instructor anymore!

    Kept his cool remarkably well. Out of interest, anyone know what the car was?

    Just ordered clio 4

    Congrats. Not a fan of the red bits or wheels, but must admit the one in the TV ad looks rather fetching.

    MK7 golf

    Is it just me, or has the mk7 arrived very quickly? I'm sure the mk6 didn't last that long in terms of model life cycle? Seemed a lot shorter than the mk4 and mk5 cycles?

    My new BMW (F30) 328i M-Sport BSM + Coral Red

    Just 33mpg on a 70 mile round motorway trip every day?! Thanks for making me feel a little bit better then :rasp:

    My new BMW (F30) 328i M-Sport BSM + Coral Red

    About 31mpg at the moment mate. Little disappointing to be honest. Still only about 1200 miles on the car at the moment, so hoping it'll improve as miles pile on. I've got a 10 mile round commute to work during week which is mostly stop-start traffic to be fair, and do one longish motor way...

    New F30 BMW 3-Series M-Sport

    Hi mate, there's actually more pics of my car in this thread: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?661561-My-new-BMW-(F30)-328i-M-Sport-BSM-Coral-Red&highlight=f30+bmw Overall really pleased with the car. Still feels enjoyable to drive when you really want to, but settles into a nice...

    Apps for business sales

    Hey all, did a search but couldn't find anything relevant. Basically can anyone recommend an app that people are using to track sales and expenses for their side businesses? I'm currently using excel but I just want something a bit more dynamic to use on my iPad. Essentially I'd like to be...

    A1 Quattro!

    Heroic choice!!! I know everyone keeps banging on about the price, but surely its not as crazy a purchase as it seems? Would have thought the rarity value could help the car keeps its value better than a lot of other "new" cars you'd get at a £40k pricepoint. Compared to say a E92 M3, I...

    My new BMW (F30) 328i M-Sport BSM + Coral Red

    Thanks for the comments guys. Black is proving a 'mare to keep clean as anticipated.... Also only realised today that the programmable radio buttons in the car are touch sensitive - ie. you press the button as normal to actually select the quick link, but if you just brush them with a finger...

    Audi TT Quattro Sport - Clio trophy 147/500 replacement! - Updated Pics Post 142

    Re: Audi TT Quattro Sport - Clio trophy 147/500 replacement! Looks amazing! Absolutely love these (even though I hate the 'normal' TTs). Would love to own one in red one day. Also you need to post some pictures of the interior, and in particular the awesome seats you get in these.

    Martin_172's Twingo GT TCE

    Looks like a smart runaround. Back when I had an RS Twingo, it always annoyed me at the thought that the TCE could potentially be a lot quicker than my RS with a remap. I got one as a courtesy car once when my RS was in; and it honestly felt quicker in day to day driving. One thing I never...

    My new BMW (F30) 328i M-Sport BSM + Coral Red

    Thanks for all the comments guys (good and bad - everyone's entitled to their opinion) Agreed that maybe in a few months it will look a bit "run of the mill" but having driven a big spoilered JDM motor around (and therefore looked like a wannabe extra from Fast and Furious) for the last 2...

    My new BMW (F30) 328i M-Sport BSM + Coral Red

    According to a few youtube vids I've seen posted on Bimmerpost, some of the US guys have been managing 5.5s (!) on some runs. I didn't really believe it myself, but then a few did some dyno runs and found the cars to be making quite a bit more power than BMW claimed, which I suppose would...

    My new BMW (F30) 328i M-Sport BSM + Coral Red

    Yeah, the "28" is now actually a 4 pot turbo. Purists are mad because its no longer a straight 6, but being an accountant I'm all about the numbers ;) 245bhp, 258ib ft, 0-60 in 5.9s, 149g CO2 and (supposedly) 40+mpg on the combined cycle. That's good enough for me! Still want someone to...

    My new BMW (F30) 328i M-Sport BSM + Coral Red

    Hello all.... Just thought I'd drop in with a few pics of my new 328i M-Sport. Thought you guys might want a nosey as they're still pretty rare at the moment... That'll change soon I imagine though as they start appearing on more company car lists. At least mine being a petrol 328 should...

    All New Range Rover 2013 Revealed

    That's exactly it. My brother has had loads of problems with the two that he has owned (both non sport, actual "Range Rovers"), but despite this, he still seems to love them. He'd had another in a heartbeat were it not for the fact that he needs the extra seats in the Disco. Incidentally...

    All New Range Rover 2013 Revealed

    Yes, except the odds are stacked very much against you! Brother has owned 2 Range Rovers, and whilst nothing went catestrophically wrong engine/gearbox wise, it was the niggly things constantly going wrong that bordered on ridiculous. The electrics were were particularly suspect; so many...

    New F30 BMW 3-Series M-Sport

    Agreed. The 18s look totally lost in the arches I think, although I've seen a few on 18s which have been lowered that don't look too bad. I feel sorry for the Americans as you can only spec 19s on the 335i apparently. Every other engine in the range you can only spec 18s. Also, I can't...

    New F30 BMW 3-Series M-Sport

    Nice spec! Nah, I decided I wanted a manual. Test drove the Sport Auto and there's no doubting its an incredible gearbox, but I got a bit bored after a few plays and found myself craving the control of a manual. They do seem very quick.... dare I say it, but they seem quicker than BMW's...

    New F30 BMW 3-Series M-Sport

    Ta, I'm sure you'll be more than happy with the 125d. Great engine. Did you spec the "M-Sport brake package" on yours? It's my big regret that I didn't tick the box for on the options list. I think it's about £600 so not ridiculous in the grand scheme of things, plus I think they look the...

    New F30 BMW 3-Series M-Sport

    Not sure if anyone cares at all, but nigh on 6 months since dropping my deposit down for one; my 328i finally arrived at the dealer this morning. A couple of pictures from when I went down to see it..... It's Black sapphire M-Sport with coral red leather. Hopefully should be...

    Cosmic Grey Civic Type R

    Nice car and great colour! I've actually been driving my brother's supercharged one around recently and although there are things about it I dislike, I must admit they are pretty fantastic cars to own and live with. Bearing in mind that its been approximately 10 years since they were first...

    2012 Astra VXR - Rockingham Launch

    I like it - however...... when will Vauxhall make a nice steering wheel and more importantly, a nice gearknob???? The gearknob's in all VXR's are all absolutely massive and are just hateful to use when you want to start shifting gears quickly. From what I've seen of the interior of the new...

    My new rallye

    Love the colour. Also just love the steel wheels on these. So perfectly suited to the car IMO. Not often you can say that about steelies over alloys wheels.

    Lexus

    I think it might be the UK press car? Remember seeing that blue in quite a few of the car mags. Awesome cars. Definitely on my dreamlist.

    Another .:R Owner - New Daily

    I came quite close to buying one recently and was told by my dealer that they wouldn't be able to do me a discount on the list price. Being a pauper I was buying on PCP anyway, but the monthlies just worked out that bit too much - I was disappointed that the GFV seemed quite low compared to...
