I had these big sails with a nice Easterly blowing into them, now it's gone Sad

Don't start on the 5dr thing lol. Tbh, if you see it irl, it looks even better, and cleaner lol.

Cheers Alan. Looks better now it's cleaned but cba to upload new pics. Is a bit of a shmae it's 5dr as 3dr does look sportier, but it could have been a 1.1 Night and Day, so it's not all bad. Probably going to get a Clio Valver and then keep the Clio as a side project, i.e. strip and tune it to about 100Bhp Smile

Well because the Valver is failry quick anyway and I want that as my everyday car, then use the RT as a mess around car.

Whats the point?. Well a stripped, 100+Bhp 1.4 is the point, would probably be a laugh Smile

eh? i still dont get it.

However much of a laugh a 100bhp stripped out RT would be, a stripped out valver will be 10x better... you get the better suspension etc as well.

Yeah, but I don't want to strip the valver out, would rather keep it sound proofed and comfotable, whereas the RT will only be getting used on weekends etc.

ok well even with the RT stripped out, it still wont be as fast as the valver, so your 'everyday car' will still be more fun than your 'mess about' car.

Whatever floats your boat i suppose!
