Well went upto Newcastle for this yesterday - bought it for abit of trackday summer fun, but also to use as a daily from April to Sept
Im sure the seller will agree, he very very vague with his descriptions! I really went blind, but for the price i wasnt bothered!
All i know so far is its...
Is that pic of piston number 4? Furthest away from the water pump, they always melt after too much power is mapped into them as cant cool cylinder 4 down quick enough
I'm looking at cars for when my A1 goes back in April, the idea is to drive the 'new' car for 6 months, and then tuck it away for the winter and get another Audi for 6 months via my works scheme
So, I loved my Flame Red 172, so I've been looking at getting another one of those, but I've also...
That Daisy Flamer looks like a cracking car, but way overpriced considering the belts are due in 6 months!
Ill offer him £1200 and take it from there i think
So basically i sold this in 2010
To buy this brand new
Which i had for about 8 months, and sold it to buy this brand new
Which i had for about 8 months, and sold to get this
BUT
Ive always missed my 172! It took me and my mrs round Europe, and it was the comfiest car ive ever had...
Ever since i had my 172/182 i always said id never have a car without xenons as they're worth their weight in gold
Then i got my 200 Cup, which obviously cant have an outside temp gauge let alone xenons!
So, i went to my local Renault parts to buy some projectors. £300 odd he says, so i told him...
'Turns over but wont start - coud be starter motor?' Says it all, im thinking cambelt snap ya'll

Thanks for comments, the more i see it the more i just think yes it looks amazing even if i do say so myself!! Those asking how much and where, i got it done at a place called Swann Graphics in Huddersfield, cant recommend them enough. They do our work vans so i think i got a 'deal' so ill just...
Dunno if this is any use to anyone
H7 fitment, had them on my Leon and fitted perfect but i presume will fit anything with a H7 fitment

I upgraded my bulbs to 6000k (Range Rover, Audi colour) when one of my bulbs went. Cost £30odd and was well worth it. I found the standard to look too 'white', but the 6000k look perfect without going past the chav line!
After having the roof wrapped on my 172 when i had it, i felt it really finished the car off. I wasnt paying £100s to get it done on my 200 by Renault, so took it back to where i got my 172 done
Made sure they didnt touch the aerial so not to cause any water leaks or warranty issues, and...
Hmmm. When i ordered my 200 i think the Storm Grey must've been a new colour as id never seen one or even heard of the colour?! Couldnt order it not seeing it and there were no colour charts to look at or anything so went with GW
SG still looks abit primerish, abit like that Ford colour
I think im right in sayin the GT spoiler reqs a different tailgate fitting. So, if they take it off i wonder if it'll look weird/different to normal? Something to check out
