Don't think you can get antracite in the offset you need which is ET38.5 (172 Cup)
The antracite turinis are in ET45 for trophy and 182's
Best bet is to get yours refurbed really
Colour match will be almost impossible from a door to door firm
The colour is Ixell 205-110 antracite
Probs simpler buying a 5th wheel from ebay and keeping the kerbed one as a spare, they come up often on ebay or on here
Defo keep the plate where it is otherwise you'll need to retro fit a number plate light which will look awful if its not the factory one mounted in the top of bumper
Is this the one Cit-ren were selling a while ago
What needs doing just rack and inner wing, bumper bar, slam panel then the cosmetics?
How much did you pay out of interest?
All tailgates are identical 1998-2006 apart from the lock surround that was undated in 2001
All bumpers fit all models
As said rear lights are interchangable
Once the door card is off they're held on by 2 x 10mm bolts
There is a metal rod that operates the linkage that just pushes off
Once you've removed the 2 bolts if you hold the handle in the open position the handles slides out easier
I very much doubt it but i've never measured them
I had a set of megane centre caps a while ago that i tried for size, therewasn't much in it but they didn't fit
The hole will be about half the size of the boot lock surround
It works via rod linkage so you'd be able to reach the top of the rod that links onto the back of the black diamond button
If you change the front bumper you need phase 2 front wings, headlights, arch liners, different fog lights, grill and bonnet.
Just save up and get a phase 2 if you want a 172 that much
Paying £2k plus on insurance just isn't worth it certainly not for a clio as much as i love them myself
They're all the same between 1998-2001 except 172 bumpers are painted totally, 1.2 / 1.4 / 1.6 bumpers are half painted
Thats alot on money for what it is especially if you're paying postage on top
