Yeah, i think the rears need to be white to match. But DaveB thinks it might look chavvy, and has suggested gloss black. But id rather they match to be honest.

Space is ok in the rear. Boot is quite small, due to the high boot floor.

It goes very well. In fact, the in gear acceleration feels much better. I think its a well known fact that its never going to handle anywhere near as good as the Clio did out of the box. Hoepfully, it can be improved. But the Clio was devastating on track, the front suspesion on those is just awesome.

Fitted the RNS510 this evening. In fact, i only just finished. Was a major pain in the bum. Ended up wedging the GPS antenna somewhere near the passenger air bag in a little alcove, and i rammed it into so it wouldnt move.

Took a while to get rid of all the faults in VCDS as well. Had to play around with the Radio/Navigation modules to select various options until all the faults were gone.

i had some white brakes from DaveB and you know what I'm like for cleaning!

they were always a joy to clean, the powder coating is very generous and good quality so no issues with it coming off! ;)

Love the brakes deako, brings back memory's of my white 4 pots! They do look very good, just be really careful putting them on and have a bucket of soapy water at the ready! They are a pain to keep clean, it does come off but after about 1 year they are mingling just with the heat getting into them with the grime. All be it I was really hammering mine on track so that wouldn't have helped, yours won't experience anything like that so should be ok.

1 ring trip every year, and the odd track day. Im sure they will get hot enough!  :laugh:

I plan to seal them up with some decent stuff, so should make them easy to clean. Got an assortment of wheel brushes too for the job. I'll have the wheels off every couple of months.  :happy2:
