VAG Clio 16v = WIN!!

Mine/Flan's 1st one had 246 BHP when I had it & it was excellent!! I forget how many times I embaressed more exotic machinery in it!!

What's happened to Flan by the way?! He's disappeared off the face of the earth?! What's the latest on his Williams VAG??

[w35ty]

Looks mint mate! All about the welded in :smokin:

[Zmaster2k]

Knew you'd like it Steve :-)

Been emailing flan but not in a few months as I've had issues with bodyshop and an accident at work with my hand(circular saw.. Yeh) So will email him again and confirm!
