cituning is not too far from me, i have never had any work done there myself but my dad once took his clio valver there back in the day and they were pretty good then, as the same company is cituning, peugeotech and prima racing, best thing to do is give them a ring and speak to the bloke that will be doing any work and see how he responds to your questions, i know it sounds daft over the phone but if they seem to know exactly what you want and sound like they know what they are doing then its worth a try.

ordered a manifold off them,took forever to come,then a weld broke,so phomed them to sort it out,they said theyl contact manufacture,still waiting for cituning to get back to me a month later in meantime got on to the manufacture and they sent me out a replacement one for free.
not good after sales i thought.
wont be going back,also on the cliosport.net a few people used them and said there work wasnt much cop,but different standards to different people i guess.
the mani i got was 450 and i think a little bit more customer care may have helped.

do seem to know what they are talking about, but i ordered low comp pistons and forged rods from them over a month ago, was told they would be 2 weeks and i am still waiting!! everytime i call i am told i'll have a call back but it never happens, £895 paid upfront, thought i'd get a bit better service!! 
have been promised them in the next week, so fingers crossed.

nah ring them everyday make sure they know who you are and just annoy the fuck out of them.
when i ordered the mani they said they couldnt take my card as there machine was bust,sent a check and it cleared within a week but it took them about a month to come,they kept saying there waiting for the cheque to clear.
kept phoning everyday,eventually got it,had it about 2 weeks a a weld broke so foned them to get a replacement pipe they said theyl contact miltek,i contacted miltek and they sent me a replacement one free,iam still waiting for cituning to contact me,its been about 3 weeks now and they still havent contacted me,although its over and i got a replacement iam going to phone cituning in about a week and say did you hear anything and see what bull they give then il say wel;l i contacted miltek and they sorted it straight away.
there probably ok if they got what you want in stock and go yourself to collect but i wouldnt ever mail order anything from them again.
just my experience and iv heard loads more on other forums about them.

personally hate them tbh. said they would phone me back in a hour , then 2 days later i phoned them again as they never called. and they said they wouldn`t sell me the part i was after. said they didn`t sell the part i wanted seperatly. although i know someone who did get the part seperatly.
