I'm looking into moving the car battery inside the car, has anyone done this that could post pics of how it looks? Can anyone recommend a place to buy a slimline 'race' battery, box, connectors, leads from? Also can anyone tell me what the cranking amps is for the Clio 172? Is this something i need to know when buying one of those type batteries?

Thanks :)

Thanks Andy, will have a browse on their site :agree:

I don't suppose you know off hand how much clearance you have under your seat? I only ask as i have Cobra buckets not the OE 172 seats
