Chose not to go with those and now have some ideas on the project ahead. Going to keep the wheels, upgrade brakes and suspension, do all belts and mounts, strut brace front and rear, am going for a colour change resprayed too. shall update as I go along:-) or win the lottery it'll be a short...

Prefer the hocks ;-) go for it

Get more at a scrapyard than the condition it's in now!! It's shocking!!

Have been offered some 16" clio 172 wheels and tyres, for silly money, not sure if I should take off my 17's but I do need two tyres! Not sure what to do, any suggestions?

Aghh mate, that's awful and at least you hadn't paid for it and just wasn't meant to happen!

That's fair enough and the more you can do yourself like cosmetic stuff makes the £ go further, I once resprayed my old ren 5gtt with spray cans in an old barn, turned out pretty epic and I'm no sprayer, flocking does look good and not sure how long or how durable it is to use.

Wouldn't be that hard to do yourself, mask it all up and open windows and go for it! It will be a hell of a lot cheaper for you to do it than a pro sprayer who would want the dash out out!! Good luck and try and get some pics up

You've come to the right place and welcome :-)

Haha that's priceless!! Didn't like clutter, what in a wallet tucked away somewhere!! Best I've heard:-) thanks for sharing that

That is very true and good luck typing that into go compare!!! And here I am seriously considering building a twin engined 172!!! Got to do a bit of research before I get the angle grinder out!!!

That's priceless and am surprised were all not watching that on eBay, being a very limited edition lol

Has anyone attempted or succeeded in building a twin engine 172? Also how much work would be involved in creating such a project? 4 wheel drive 172 would be mental:cool:

Look like hedge scratches ;-) bit of country road rallying lol

Cool, got it :-) lol best I get saving then! I just don't get why no one wouldn't keep history when owning a car!! Defies logic surely?

Sorry am being blonde and tired lol, it's only Tuesday as well Ffs, is that every 72k for the cambelt and every 36k for the aux?

What's the recommended mileage to get the belts, aux, and dephaser changed at upto 120k? I know I need mine doing and unsure of when last was done due to previous dipstick not declaring all info, just get the feeling I'm on borrowed time!!!

Could you imagine living just down the road from the ring, I'd be on it 24 7!!!!

That's an awesome colour and looks a very well kept one ;-)

I think it will be a case of blink and you'll miss it!!! On board camera would be mental esp round "the ring" ;-)

Most exciting and anticipated car project/ thread ever I think, well done :-)

It totally messed my maps up, I work six miles from Walton in surrey and had it in the Peak District!!!! Reported the problem and now works fine, had issues of apps not opening but closing before they did!! Crap for update but is a lot quicker!

This is mine, needs a bit of work but love it, had it two months

Count me in for a sticker young man:-)

Epic:-)

Cool, can they do anything you ask for? It's pretty much the cambelt I wouldn't touch on these, seems a right poky job for anyone tbh

Superb, it's great to know there's some decent guys out there who can help at a good price :-)

sold lol, shall say you recommended them when I get it done:-) thanks mate

Is it because it's more awkward to access?

that was a rapid response, nice one thanks, have you used them before and are they reasonable?

Does anyone on here know of any specialist in guildford/surrey area that has experience on changing all belts, tensioners, cambelt etc? And how much if possible, not sure when mine was last done and need it doing for peace of mind. Many thanks guys clio172 O2 plate, mk2,
