Damn Thanks Bam Bam, looks like I might just splash out and get some one to do that job for me. Ive also heard that replacing the tweeters can be a bit of a B*tch so maybe Ill get them done at the same time. Im considering the Ground Zero stuff that Evil Ice does, maybe a full set of...

Dont know about the Cup but when I have a look in my 172 MKII the rear panels with the little bins just unclipped and exposed the screws for the speakers. Amazingly the speakers look a lot better quality than the usual OEMs but it didnt stop the last owner of my car blowing them! MB

I think your on to something there Tom. I added this to the orignal posting to find out if it is a possibility, obviously its is ;-) Are there any preouts on the standard unit? or will I have to run the speaker wires out to the amp and back to the speakers? Thanks for your help Tom MB

Right, I am in two minds about changing the head unit in the 172. It has the single CD 6CD standard combo at the moment and the steering wheel volume/ track remote. In the past I have always replaced my head units but they have been just the head with no periferals, this time I can see a...

Does that thing retro fit to the new Clio? I wouldnt mind it just for the flash factor MB

Thanks Pete Ill bare that in mind, mind you I would want to try the finger and thub thing in an circumstances where I might be laying down some serious power. If theres one thing Ive learned so far its that tourqe steer can be an issue in the 172. The first day I had it I almost ended up on...

I think I am going to have to find some quiet dry roads and really find out what this car can do. I think one thing about the issues I am having (this is going to sound strange) is the steering wheel in the 172. The bloody thing is so comfy with those hand grips that Im probably not giving...

About a foot away from my 21" monitor at the moment! Matblack (Oh my monitor resides in Maidstone in Kent)

Anyone know of anywhere that will do car specific advanced driving lessons? Im going to be very honest here. In comparison to my previous cars the 172 scares me a bit at speed. Im not quite sure when she will let go of the road, Im not chucking it about like I used to with the CRXs Ive had...

Hi Guys Not the coolest thing to attach to your car I know, but at some point the other half and I are planning to do some cycle touring. Does anyone have a reccomendation for a cycle carrier for the MKII, it needs to take two mountain bikes? Cheers Matblack

Im with Reth, everytime I put down some power and the car takes on a mind of its own. Plus Everytime I everytime I see the face of some muppet in a Rep-mobile who cant believe his Vecta got blown away by a CLIO! I Love My Car! Matblack

Maidstone, Kent

Mostly the only thing I say to my new car is ARRRRRRRGGGGGGG Blooooooooody Hell that was fast! I have yet to think of a name, the CRX I had before never had a name but the Clio may just deserve one. I really love this car, it has so many mod cons I feel permanently pampered when Im in it...

Great Ill be down to the dealer tomorrow to hassle them for a UK manual Cheers Matblack

Hi Guys I wonder of someone has had the same experience as I am having. I just picked up my car (second hand Clio 172) and I have all the paperwork etc. I believe that if I send off to Renault UK they will give a a full three years warenty despite the fact the car was an import. There was a...

Love my new car, but we dont seem to speak the same language! Shes dutch! And Im not So I am sure there are a few bits Im missing out on. Any ideas how to get a UK manual? I really want to know all her ins and outs ;). Is there a .pdf manual somewhere or do I have to order a new manual...

Well I have my new Clio 172 now and I must say I am really happy :). After an evening of blowing away Vectas and the odd Cougar I have settled into the car nicely, found the sunglasses holder and how to use the on board computer even in the dark. My new baby is black so I havent had a proper...

Ive checked my bank and the money has left, I just hope it has also arrived at the dealers bank! In answer to someones question Im not the brother of any other Mats Im plain old Matblack, no Clio connections. Im glad the car is fully run in, Im used to having a motor with a bit of poke, the...
