Well I don't know, there may be the odd chavmobile driver that will only get V-Power because he can tell his mates it was developed with the help of Ferrari and as a result can make his clio go like a v10.  :cool:

It all comes out the same hole :rolleyes:

I use the cheapest I can find, never had a problem and never noticed a difference in mpg or performance in either this car or my Golf previously.

(my old 16v ran 163.6bhp on tesco 95, should have tried with 99 tesco and shell :rolleyes:)

That's very optimistic for a standard-ish car, what mods did it have?  :huh:

Cheers mate!

Going to look at getting/ordering glue tomorrow for the abc pillars and other trim. Got new visors and grab handles to spray too. Hopefully crack on with that next week.

I'm going to just paint the headliner, most likely black. Take it out and roller it.
