anyone ???

no dont paint the ones you have cos theyve got a grain in them and will show up rough. Ive got some on my mk1 which i got form a breakers yard off a Cup for about the £15 mark

im getting the door grab handles sprayed up to re-fresh them and im needing to get the centre surround which goes round the radio and heater controls off so i get a good all round paint match. Could anyone tell me how to take it out ??? do i have to take the top half of the dash out ...

belive me this was no ordinary rain fall. It was absolutely throwing it down !! My mate who has a very very highly modified Polo G40 [ one of the most modified in the country ] got pissed on buy a standard Golf GTI !! I also bet a Type R up at Crail in my mk1 172 on the 6th of feb in the dry...

mines totally mint even with 55k on the clock...tbh i think the standard mk1 172 steering wheel is far too small to grap.

dont think id buy Turinis cos they are too popular and id want to stand out and be different and not jump on the same band wagon as everyone else

Mmmmmm there alright.... Not my cup of tea like IMO Clios seem to suit multi spoke rims better, other than those 17s Kahns which where on a Clio i saw on here a while back. those looked the bomb haha

errr well id say there both apex due to them being yellow. Iv taken the front fog light out of my mk1 and put the air feed and trumpet in its place. ...all fog lights do is pi** of other drivers anyway !! LOL Apex springs do a great job on mine. slammed into the weeds and not too hard...

Yeah ive been in contact with this company but its going to mean a fair bit of messing about cos A they dont speak english and B the postings gonna cost a bomb !! im gonna give them ago if this option dosent seem to work. Heres a link to what it looks like when painted up that console from...

My mate who works at a crash repair centre has just been on the phone to tell me a written off V6 Clio has just been brought in this minute This might be a daft question but would a V6 centre console fit a 172 mk 1 ??? Looking at pictures they look pretty much the same. Has anyone tried it...

Yeah will do bud. Like i said they reckon the keys knackered and needs sending to France to be done. Its if they cant do it then im stuffed !!! Dont fancy paying out that kinda money on a b***** key !!!!!......there taking the mick

100% true this. Begining of the summer last year i was offered 8 and a half for my mk1 172 at a Scooby dealer !! it had about 36 tho on the clock too !!! i had it in writing too !!

Got a mk1 172. I have one key which one of the chip things broke off so i soldered it back on. [ not 100% reliable ] Anyway i was using the spare key cos that one was ok till last week when the car wouldnt start !! Turns out that the key needs sending away to France for re-programing but my...

yeah...theres plenty of different offsets to choose from but as for the centre bolt measurments that could be a problem can you not buy different ring things for this though ??? spigot rings or something i think there called ??

At the moment theres just no rims on the market that grab in by my balls so to speak !! Just went on the K-Tec site and theyve got a set of rims that look very similer to Gram Lights which are jap rims !! Look very nice indeed

Just looking at wheels and theres some really nice jap type rims available. eg Rays / Volk does anyone know if jap type rims will bolt up to a Clio ?? Is it true that Mazda use the same offset and pcds as 172s ???

i cant fault my mk1 in anyway other than it isnt the easiest car to tune up cheaply !! Im keeping mine forever !!! hehe

Ive got my Ipod flush mounted where the ash tray is !! got a console from a crashed 172 and modded it to fit. I can still get into the underneath of the ash tray too !!

Well it turns out it was the key that was the problem !! We just used the spare one and it starts no bother !! The other problem is last night on a trip, when we turned the car on it now sits at 2000 rpm and wont drop at all !!! the throttle body flap thing is not sticking cos we checked it...

AA is on the way !! LOL Nah i dont think its the immobiliser cos wouldnt it show up on the diagnostic computer plus it goes after its been bump started.

thing is it wont start from cold now either !!

I had a problem a couple of weeks ago starting my Clio. It would turn over but not fire up. Usualy after 2 attemps it started and it was always when the car had already been used ie not from cold. Sometimes it would start up and just cut back out !! if it wont start and i come back to the car...

Stick with the mk1. loads more rarer than the mk2s plus the originals are always the best !! Bet the RS boys have had a similar debates about series 1 and 2 RS Turbos !! LOL

They might just do the job thanks for that derv. Wonder if they sell those in Halfords

Heres a link to a site that shows you how you can build a floor mounted amp rack http://www.cliosport.nu/2_8_04.asphttp://www.cliosport.nu/2_8_04.asp

Weve just been doing my sound system this week. Im gonna run the neons like you off the boot close switch although another pall reckons i should run it off the remote from the HU instead. Nah ive ditched the spare to save weight. That was well gone before my install was a pipe dream !! HeHeHe...

Can you get 90 degree plugs for the RCAs ??? The lad who fitted my ice asked that too. Cheers for that Mike ill have a look at that

What do you reckon about the RCA leads though ?? My mate that fitted them reckons there bent to the limit against the heater box. One of the problems the HU wont go back in The plugs stick out the back of the HU about a inch and a half before the flex of the cables start. Is it ok to have the...

Got a bit of a problem putting the head unit back into the dash cos the RCA lead conectors stick out too far at the back there hitting against the heater box !! theres so little room at the back of the head unit. Is there some sort of adaptor that i can use to plug in the RCA cables so...
