Not necessarily looking to buy either, but was just looking at how broad the hot hatch market is at the 5k price point. Two very different takes, but where would your money go? http://bit.ly/1gRmqN3 http://bit.ly/1hs5clM Hope the links work

I'd be up for this. Only been to one Clio meet before and that was last year! What date is good with everyone?

Car looks lovely mate! One of the nicest 172's on the forum IMO

I find it weird how this forum goes through phases of everyone hating the newest model, then loving it, then liking both but preferring the older car.

I don't understand, is your 1*2 no faster than a street ka then?

Looks lovely mate! I'm sure you will be chuffed with it, but as others have said 192bhp isn't right. Those are the figures you would see on a car with different cams

As others have said you will struggle to shift it come resale as it is always going to have this doubt over it. I'd just walk away and find another, there are plenty of nice ones about if you prepared to wait.

Ahh I see, thought you were going to break it for parts after mot. Looks a nice car anyway, some really desirable parts there!

Looks smart! Why are you going to break it when your done, why not put to standard, then sell the bits and the standard car on? Is it leggy?

That looks horrific. IMO wrapping and carbon wrap like on it's boot strip cheapen the look of the car. Get real carbon or don't bother IMO. Also people say just peel it off, but it's not as easy as that. A friends dad took an impreza in p/x for next to nothing, it was wrapped in matte black...

I disagree, the wheels are a little darker in the flesh, but I don't think they clash at all. They look the same as standard colour, and are standard size but in a different style, so OEM+ to me. Fair enough if it's not to everyone's taste though :)

Some pictures as it stands ATM. IMO he needs to raise the rear a little and lose some of the rear camber, but it looks smart to me.

Speedlines look really good on them IMO. My friend has a dark silver R56 JCW on coilovers with 17" Turinis and it looks epic!

There is a 182 round my way in Southampton with a two bar, he sometimes tows a small box trailer with it. Why can't they tow?

Thanks for all the replies, some really nice looking cars. I think I'm going to go for 15mm front and 10mm rears. From what you've said I shouldn't get much rubbing that way. Did you notice any difference in handling?

Hi, looking to get some spacers for my 182, it's got eibach springs with 172 cup turini's. It's only a road car, so I'm just looking for a little bit of an more aggressive look. Could people post some pictures of theirs and what spacers they run so I can see what they look like, and what to go...

Judging by the size of the stones surely all the windows would be smashed if it had been there during the whole event?

It's sold now, was for sale for a while though. Really nice looking car

Car looks seriously nice! Love the way it sits, probably the nicest 197 I've seen

If anyone wants to buy some turbines, drop me a pm ;)

Looks like you have some good plans!

I've got a tub of bouncers 22 already, I used to love it on the metallic paint of my 172 cup, but find it doesn't do a lot for the solid racing blue colour. I'm not a fan of autoglym products.

I've ordered some of the supernatural to try out. May have to try some of the poorboys stuff next! Still undecided on a wax, I'm looking for something around £40, so I can't quite afford the Zymol Carbon, any other sugestions?

Just been looking at Auto Finesse, have you had any experience with Soul? This seems like a good entry level hard wax from the description. I will bear your samples in mind, thanks for the help guys :)

Just looking through some shampoo ideas, and I'm torn bewtween Dodojuice Supernatural, and their born to be mild. What experiences have people had with both? Also, which wax gives the nicest shine to Racing Blue, I am currently using Dodo Juice Hard Candy, I'm quite happy, but I'm thinking...

I'd imagine trade would see it as a 14 year old Clio with a dear to run engine in a bright colour :/. Hope someone looks after this once it's sold, it's a lovely car!

Not to my knowledge. Abs light isn't on though, and speedo works fine?

Nope, no abnormal dash lights at all. They all come on when ignition is turned on, and extinguish after the car is started.

To resurrect this thread, my cruise only works in 4th gear, but not 5th. Anyone got any ideas what could cause this?

Any body got any ideas on this?
