Ah cool, that's not so bad, was 3 stages with DeBeer, though that's to be expected with cheaper paint schemes I suppose. Keep us updated, I expect it'll look awesome when finished!
Out of interest, what paint scheme you using to do the Ford colour? Only ever sprayed it once and it was a bit of a pain in the dick, that was using DeBeer.
I know this thread is old, but words cannot express just how retarded this idea is. Even if you do squeeze more power out of the engine, you've said yourself it's in a "stanced" car, which means a standard 1.2 on standard suspension will pump you as soon as you come to anything resembling a corner.
Go for coilovers. If you don't have the money for a set yet, wait/save up a bit longer. As Jon says, once you start lowering on springs, you'll end up wanting coilovers. I know, I had 40mm and 60mm springs on my 1.2 before buying coilies.
You've got an entire thread of enthusiasts saying don't go to Renault. Don't go to Renault, we're not saying it for the sake of it.
My local dealership couldn't even tell my 200 apart from a 197. Says it all really.
Keep the 172. There's no guarantee a newer/lower mileage 182 won't have the same problems as your 172. Then all you've bought is a more expensive version of your car with uglier wheels.
Every 6000K kit I've owned (3 in total) have been pure white if that helps. Had a set of 6000K bulbs in my old 172 xenons which were the same story. All from different companies too.
EDIT: For example
Honestly, without trying to sound like a c*nt, there is no point in asking for prices on here. There are far too many variables, you need to get quotes and see examples of work. Prices can vary by £1000s just going from one garage to the next.
First port of call - take the throttle body off, give it a good clean out, put it back on and see if that solves it. It's free so it's a good place to start and sometimes cures it.
I'd say no. Most Clio exhausts don't fit Clios properly never mind something off a Corsa. The backbox, maybe, with a lot of bodging and welding. The centre section will be entirely the wrong shape though.
