Was stopped at a round about on the ring road (by The beef eater, emersons) and this Blue 172 came hairing it up behind me.. When i looked in the mirror, it was an 'older' chap with white hair (or was it silver hair ;-) Anyone?.. or their dad? ;-)

Certainly does sound different than mine! lol i thought that must be an exhaust.. just goes to show how much i know lol

it's a darkish metalic blue (don't know the actual name) 3 door, i am just doing them the usual silver, don't go putting ideas in her head now lol

Rich, this is actually a 306 dturbo :-) ,my mate bought a 306 cab the other day & replaced the wheels so i acquired his old ones (like the gti6 wheels), but they are a bit scuffed.

saying that... lol i chanage the proile on my old 309 thinking back, as the 50's were cheaper than 55's! (think i'm might have gone from 185 to 195 aswell though)

can you remove tyres yourself without too much bother??? (i'm guessing not) i could do with getting them off to refurb them, but then i'm gonna have to pay to get them removed & then pay again for fitting of the new ones.. (more to the point, i got a bad back at the moment, so putting them in...

i'm not saying a word ;-) ... but yeah lol

I have a set of alloys for the mrs's car that need a little refurb & 1 new tyre. (they have 3 new 195/55/15 tyres on at the moment) However she wants "Those tyres with the v shapes" (her words) So i have found some Goodyear F1's for £35 each but they are 195/50/15 Would it be ok to have 2 55...

^^did you go into miss millies? & have a laguna type splitter on the front?

does this make much of a mess when sanding the metal? Just wondering as i might have to try polishing up the renaultSport bit on the engine but don't wanna go getting metal particles all over the place.

was that what made to noise when he pulled away then???.. (not up on induction kits.. didn't realise they made 'that' much difference - thought he must have had a different 'stealth' exhaust) Does he come on this site then?

Spotted an 03 plate blue 172 cup last (saturday) night parked by Miss Millies in staple hill, It looked to have a laguna front splitter on & sounded pretty loud when the lad pulled away! (couldn't see any exhaust though) Anyone on here...? (by the way, the Millies, bun strip meal was...

i'm probably going to go woth Silver for mine, but also thinking of Yellow

certainly does... i hope that is saved for next time :-)

thanks mate

why have you let the site down?.. your car looked pretty smart from what i saw :-) (at last, a clio i spot, is actually owned by someone on here!!!)

'cups' are for real men Joke Try doing a search for it.. quite a common post this :-)

^^ That looks pretty smart! , i was thinking i'd get a stealth one when i need to replace my original, but now you got me thinking lol Did they cut the bumper out & all that aswell? Have you got a pic of the whole back of the car with that exhaust on? Where are prospeed based then? (just...

do prospeed to a stealth(like) system??

what difference does a siliconoe elbow to the standard airbox make? (just out of interest)

I'll keep an eye out.. BV02 :-) i spotted a Blue 172 today at parkway but don't think it was that number plate! Danm.. i'll keep on looking

spot on pics there.. thanks for sharing! loving the 3 wheel action!

theres the Black Clio i saw in mangotsfield!! C19EST.. Who's is the 172 cup, HT53? i've seen that around too :-) And LadyS, remember seeing that just after you bought it when i was driving mine into the dealers for some work. All the motors are looking very nice by the way.

Spotted a Monaco Blue 172 (02 plate) near parkway station today at about 3.30 Anyone?

Drove past today, Silver 182 gave me a little wave as past :-) going towards winterbourne way. (i was in a 172 cup) Anyone?...

sounds like that strut problem??...(i take it that problem was on the 182s aswell?) mine had similar, get it down to the dealer for a spot of warranty work... As soon as you mention the banging in reverse they'll more than likely know what it is (although they might not tell you that :-)

If buying from halfords, make sure the denison is actually the icelink, NOT the FM Modulator. When i was looking into them last year, halfords just had the FM one which isn't the same/as good. I went for the denison icelink+ and it's been spot on (if a bit expensive)

Mine is standard & it is a thin bit of wood (like stuff) which barely covers the wheel well & thats stuck to the bottom of the boot carpet. Sounds like yours is the same i.e. totally standard.

quality motor those 'cups' :-) - keep them prices up up up (for when i want to sell)

i think my 172 cup has been my best.. The list is only small: Y reg Mk1 Fiesta 950cc!! C Reg Mk2 Fiesta 1.4s (fake xr2 lol) E Reg Pug 309 GTI (may not look the best but lovely trouble free fun cars, well mine was) 51 1.2 16v clio dynamique (was nice to have a new car, but bit of a step...
