Thanks for the help so far lads. If it was my decision i would have the clio straight off, but he is still undecided, think my sister is having more of an influence (his wife), so hes going to look at another civic tomorrow, and the clio again tonight to help make a decision. Lol.

My FN2 has 85k miles on it and I've had no problems with it and the seat are in still good condition, wearing well unlike other bucket seats I've had, like Alcantara Sparcos.

I've driven a Clio and it handles slightly better than a FN2 but I was looking for a bigger car with a big boot so the FN2 won it for me. I'm getting BC coilovers fitted tomorrow so that should help with the handling.

The 17/82's are a fair bit tighter and more awkward, honestly don't know what all the fuss/horrendous labour prices are about with regards to the 197/200 belts.

Is right I work at a Renault dealer and we make no fuss for 197/200 belts there easy, 182/172s r much tighter and take much more time , we don't charge crazy money to do them , I think some dealers r just cashing in due to be being a rs model

Try SERE Renault in Lisburn, good prices. Not that I'd be bias or anything.

Nice choice btw, knew the real winner would stand out when driving.

Its definitely what sold it. He hadn't considered the clio beforehand, but he said yesterday he just fell in love with it once driving it, and his mind kept going back to it.

Cheers again

Yours is great, great stance and colour, and love the spoiler.
He got it on monday, brought it to the house but i was servicing a friends car and didnt take any pics. My plan is to take it off him next year and plan my ring run with it. Lol.
