Thanks! Any compaints/issues or is it fine? Like I said theres no wind to contest with so scratches shouldnt be an issue.

Anyone got recommendations for a car cover to suit the Clio 172? It won't be outside, the 172 lives in my workshop and I do a lot of woodwork so there's pretty much always dust on it. I blow it off with the airline but I'm thinking I'd be best off covering it up. Any recommendations?

Yeah thats what I'm thinking. I had the other mentality on my BMW, but with the Clio its different. Thanks good to know! I always imagine lightweight motorsport wheels having tons of clearance.

Thanks, great advice. Going to look into this! May have missed a set of Enkei RPF1s (bloody credit card bills!). They would have been perfect.

Great info thanks. Although the numbers arent as effective, its a given that I would putting the same tyres on all the rims, then the tyre weight can be ignored, Im not talking about absolute weights, more about weight saving on an important area. A 4.5kg wheel with a 10kg tyre on it is still...

Now, Speedline 2118s are by far the best looking wheel for the Clio, in my humble opinion, but I've noticed they're pretty heavy. Lets ignore tyres for a second... OZ F1: 9kg Speedline 2118: 9.6kg Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2: 6.2kg Enkei RPF1: 4.5kg Obviously the Enkeis are significantly...

Anyone on here? I parked next to you in my 335d

Accrington! Its probably me you've seen mate!

@182_Ads You're local arent you mate? Are there any meets/specialists round here?

Thanks lads! No idea about CSF yet, will have to read up on it!

Quiet in here isnt it! :tongueout: Not much of an update, but tried every product in my garage to try and sort out the yellow headlights. Didn’t seem to be making much progress but compared to the other side it seemed an improvement. Will probably just use wet & dry next time! I’m doing it by...

Just seen you drive past my work at the top of Dill Hall Lane/Church Lane in Clayton Le Moors. Anyone here? My 172 would have been at the side of the road. Jim

Right then. For a while I owned this: Loved driving it, ended up at quite a decent spec, 330bhp, coilovers, Spec C interior etc, but it cost me a fortune as a daily. Plus it was too scary having the best part of £10,000 (total I'd put into it) on track. I couldn't push myself. The main...

Depending on what they look like from behind they MIGHT be able to be re-drilled.

Look for an et number stamped into the back of the wheel and people will be able to help you more.

New to Clios but my first thought was it could need an alignment. To me, the wheel pulling sounds like too much toe out & maybe caster. But I'm guessing, and I am also an idiot (disclaimer).

Half of the mini belongs to my old man and he wants his share back!

Of course. However I'm of the mind that any car can have issues, and I'm fully expecting to have to sort out issues with the car, so paying over my budget and THEN having to do an oil change, new brake fluid, etc at a minimum wouldn't sit right with me. And that isnt aimed at Bloke's car, thats...

:laughing:

Apart from the fact it was £150 over my top budget, and £350 over what I wanted to pay, and I haven't sold my classic mini yet....

Ouch

Doesnt the cambelt snapping knacker all the valves or are they a non interferance engine?

Thanks! Great advice! I'm expecting a few niggles but I suppose the lack of rust is a blessing!

Thank you good advise as well!

Any more info/pics?

Thanks!

Amazing interiors, but just a quick one: What shifter is this?!

Great advice thanks guys.

Ah jesus sounds like a minefield. That said, no worse than buying any other car I suppose!

Perfect, thank you. So nothing nasty to sneak up on me then? I'm expecting for my budget it may need a bit of TLC on items like that.
