new to 172's what mine phase 2 mk ?

[bigsteve]

Hi

I have just brought a Cat D 172 on a 02 plate which has had front impact, low down in the centre of the bumper,

So it a phase Mk 1 or 2

were can I get a subframe, bumper, exenon headlights, slam panel, rads, fan etc, wings and bonnet are OK and the air bags did not go off ? why !do i have to go to a stealers, if so which one will give me good deal.

Also the bumper blade is welded to the chassis is this available or will I have to cut it off another car.

the subframe is it specfic to the 172 or will another model one fit.

Not worried about doing the job as i have just restored a triumph stag race car and reshelled a MG ZT V8, so this a walk in the park, well I hope it is.

You mean Mk2 phase 1 or phase 2. Its going to be a phase 2 though.
Will look like this (Mk2 phase 2 )

A Mk2 phase1 is this.

Biggest obvious thing is the lights.

Best go to the breakers

Subframe is the same dimentions as a normal Mk2 of any phase however the none 172/182 ones arn't strengthened and don't have the 3 or 4 holes you need for the gearbox mount (easy to drll them). But noone could realy telle the difference between a normal Clio and the strengthened 172/182 one.
