Well going to tax the little black shed tommorow i'm just wondering about a few things.
first off is there any recommended owners sites/clubs in the uk i can join.
and secondly just how much surgery to squeeze 17's on :) with a minimum of a
40mm drop preferably 60mm

What the *f*ck* is the point?
It's a s*it box n/a diesel shopping trolley.
Modding just puts up insurance premiums and you have nothing to show for it.

Rob that is such a bad idea (I can see that and i'm pissed atm!), buy something worth while... PLEASE!!!
Get a mk1 Astra GTE/Kadett GSi or a Manta GTE....etc somthing like that, since I know you have the horn for Vauxhall/Opel.

I know a guy with one slammed 60 and 17's, scrubs like f*ck :)

Although i would give my right bollock for a clean mk1 astra its a bad idea. have a redtop sitting in the garage which would just somehow find its way in :)
and anyway the clio is about being uber efficient 45 mpg stuff and i've never had a clio :)
will be nice
lil black clio derv stripped out half cage with buckets
17's and dropped 40/60mm (15's if its a bugger) bit of debadging and destripping when i blow over the bottom half and hey presto one respectable economical winter hack :)

*faints*
You silly person... go on then piss all that money away, I would rather have a mk1 xe than a diesel with:
1) A half cage it doesn't really need because you will probably buy a cosmetic version that will make the car inconvenient due to the limited space available.
2) A pair of bucket seats you don't need because you will be travelling to slow to appreciate it.
3) 17's on 40/60mm drop that will ruin handling and f*ck up the ride
4) A paintjob that could go horribly wrong (I would only homespray matt colours)
Which will cost new (on the cheap) around £600-750?
!WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!
Mk1 xe'ed Astra Rob... think about it, makes sense doesn't it? Or even better an xe'ed Manta ;)

Well, I suppose it might be nice if you can cope with people laughing at you the whole time.

45mpg? How the f*ck are you going to drive it? Should easily manage
55-60mpg most of the time.

My petrol mk1 Clio does 45mpg would have thought a diesel would do better than that.

Ah buy i'm more akin to belting up and down motorways at 90 :)

90? NA Diesel Clio?
...really?

My '93 (petrol) Clio (4 gears) won't go faster than 90 on the motorway - it just doesn't happen :-/

Oh and on m way I achieve more than 45mpg, my 45mpg figure was mostly town driving.
