    Clio 172 ph1- black, OEM restoration.

    I I have thought about it, but I’m not overly fussed. If one comes up cheap then I’ll grab it.

    Clio 172 ph1- black, OEM restoration.

    I do have some genuine center caps to fit, bit I’ll wait until I re-balance all the wheels before fitting them in with a dab of silicone to stop them going walkies!

    Clio 172 ph1- black, OEM restoration.

    So, cracked on with a couple of jobs today. Removed locking wheel nuts, the car never came with a locking key, bit of a mission but got there in the end. Replaced with standard bolts thanks to JMRS who lives just down the road! Ideal! Headlights, all restored now, literally transforms the car...

    Left them to soak in hot water and fairy liquid for an hour, then the sticky crap just scrubbed off.

    Clio 172 ph1- black, OEM restoration.

    Self employed chap, known him forever, was here for around 40 minutes, did every panel, even one on the boot lid I didn’t notice. Cost me next to nothing. I won’t say how much as everyone will be calling him asking to pay the same.

    Dent man came today, every panel de-dented. I was pretty sure all the paint was original, he also confirmed that it’s never had paint work!

    Clio 172 ph1- black, OEM restoration.

    Ok, so I pulled the rear interior panels off to reveal the under sills.... As expected there’s rust, however it’s solid both sides all the way along, I’ve given it all a good stabbing with my screw driver and I haven’t gone through or feel like I’m going to go through. Can I get away with...

    Rear lights are staying, with my growing age I now appreciate the original looks. Igive the headlights a good going over as I’m pretty good at sorting these plastic lenses. If not I’ll get a new set.

    Clio 172 ph1- black, OEM restoration.

    Finally got my hands on a totally original, un-messed with black phase 1 172 in black. Was on eBay at a breakers yard mid last week, rang them up and purchased it over the phone unseen for an absolute bargain! It was delivered today on a transporter and I’m well happy about how good it is...

    S20 CUP who owns this car? (Clio 172 cup)

    One of those cars I wish I never sold :( was almost perfect by the time I sold it. If it came up for sale I would probably buy it back, spent so much time on it making it factory fresh.

    2009 59 Renault Grand Espace 2.0 dCi 175 Auto £2995

    The 2.0 dCi is fine mechanically, its like anything, look after it and it will look after you. The 2.2 dCi was the one to avoid, absolutely shocking. When it was having its service on weekend the engine was totally leak free.

    Sport bumper on 1.2, "declined".

    When I was your age I would have just fitted the thing without even giving the insurance a second thought, as it's still a Renault part that's for a Clio.
