From my patchy knowledge, you couldn't get a Ph1 172 with a sunroof, at least not in the UK. There was a Flame Red one knocking around a few years ago that someone had bodged a sunroof into from a non-sport.

If you go look at @YorkshireKyle 's thread on his Monaco 172, there's plenty of pictures on there of him taking his gearbox out the bottom of the car. Only issue with taking it out the bottom is that the subframe bolts can seize, snap or spin in place, especially on the Ph1's as they're older...

Would probably need to see a video of this to get an idea of what's going on. How old is your aux belt tensioner, they're prone to failing and binding up.

I think I'm right in saying that the aluminium bonnets only came on the first year of production cars, which were all silver. Once they started introducing more colours, they switched to the heavier bonnet style. So unfortunately, you'll have to find a silver one and have it repainted.

Found them! Any good to you @Brigsy ?

Apologies for the terrible picture, but this is what I run in mine. Bought it in 2022, so I think it was from these guys if I recall correctly. https://tradecarmats.co.uk/renault-clio-mk2-1998-2005-track-boot-mat

You can get refurbished set of PH1 shafts here, can't buy them new anywhere as far as I know: https://ebay.io/m/oZLQRR

He's just been kicked out of his garage so he might not be selling stuff at the moment.

Renomotive would be my go to, they've usually got a decent amount of parts in stock. https://www.renomotive.com/

There's an ESSO in Louth with 99(supreme) which is just down the road.

Quite a lot of the single player customisation is locked behind the ultimate edition, such as a couple of the car mod shops, tattoo shop and barber. For the sake of £20 I'd just buy it if you want to experience everything.

Full kit here if you want to buy it new: https://www.kamracing.co.uk/renault-oe-cam-belt-fitment-kit-renault-clio-mk2-rs172-182.html

Excel Body Repairs, up in Appleby, Cumbria. Probably a bit of a drive for you but they've never let me down yet!

Yep fully sanded back, primed and painted!

Quick follow up on my post from the other week. Just got the car back from the body shop, the roof is looking a 1000x better. Here's the before: And the after: All in was £300 (inc VAT). Pretty happy with that!
