    +65bhp overnight increase

    After almost 3 years of ownership and 27,000 miles, I finally traded in the Clio for her curvier sister; with living on the south coast and having family in the North West, the Cup setup started to take its toll on my wallet and spine! The Clio has been an absolute blast and surprising Bimmers...

    Soft paint and pad combinations?

    Morning all, I've been under the impression that the Clios paint is quite soft and having recently picked up a DAS6 wanted to make sure I won't be making a mess with too heavier pads? From new I've 2BM wash, (decontaminated when required) QD'd and waxed regularly so a full correction isn't...

    Steering wheel off centre, alignment correct?

    Afternoon all, Recently my steering wheel has gone off centre, an inch or so to the right (more at 5 of clock than 6, if that makes sense?), the garage have confirmed that the tracking is spot on and the car does not pull. The search didn't bring anything back... Any ideas on what could have...

    Wheel Refurb in Portsmouth / Southampton?

    Morning all, Does anybody have any recommendations for wheel refurbishment places in Hampshire, ideally Portsmouth or Southampton? I've already tried thewheelspecialist(.co.uk), who would have been ideal being all of 4 miles from where I live, but they can't match the Cup anthracite...

    Standard seats: Comfortable posture for tall people?

    Afternoon all, Does anybody use additional leg or lumbar support with the standard seats? For a while now I've been conscience of poor posture whilst driving, after reading a few guides online I've come to the conclusion that the standard seats have nowhere near enough adjustment for my size...

    As per title, around 8pm, I slipped past in the RB... If you're on here, what exhaust do you have? Even at a steady 70(ish) drive-by it sounded awesome!

    FAO: Anybody with carbon spats...

    Just a quick question / favour to ask... How long are they? I attempted to exit the in-laws drive, a little too close to a low brick planter, and scored a lovely deep scratch into the skirt (see photo)! I was wondering if a set of the eBay carbon spats would be enough to cover it up for the...
