Hi everyone, I'm looking for outer sill panels for a ph2 172. I'm sure they're available from Renault for a fortune, but are pattern versions available? Has anyone used some and able to make a recommendation? As usual, I need about 200mm each end. Thanks!

The conclusion of that episode was that Escargot needs scrapped and they need to buy something else basically.

Perseverance pays off Dave, great to see you finally find one!

Lots of trivial bits to sort out which is fine as long as you got it cheap enough, but rear arch rot is the kiss of death

The Mrs one series was sparkling graphite and in different light could look brown, bronze, purple and heading for phoenix yellow. It's a nice generic grey that really shows off contours in any sunlight and is actually quite tolerant of being dirty unlike a lot of paints

Get it bought, graphite is epic

If you don't mind my asking, what was the exact offence and weights? Thanks!

Certainly on an E90 you can unbolt the inner Cvs and stick them above the flanges with the diff in situ so that it just falls out of the bottom. Biggest time soak is getting the front diff mount bolt to line up when it's going back in

Or being recovered to the nearest safe place. Basically it's illegal.

Yeah, worst I've experienced. Try finding 5+ year old Michelin's that aren't.

I wouldn't worry if it's ON the tread blocks, but between them, or on the sidewalls and I'd be getting rid. Michelin's are awful for it sadly.

If he's anything like me, breakdown cover, and since the two punctures I've had on E90 were due to broken front springs, a spare (or runflats) wouldn't have helped anyway

Where the f**k do you find one of these nowadays? Even looks like it has arches!

Cant believe you managed to lock yourself in to the point of needing to break a window :ROFLMAO: How on earth you figured out how to use the BMW software tools I dont know. Every time I try to search how to do something I eventually give up because people are singularly unhelpful.

Nice find and looking good so far! Personally I'd be going hydro rack and electric pump I think but
