Any particular recommendations for somewhere in South Wales to get it done?

So does anyone actually use spacers on a 172 if they're running 16" wheels? I'm assuming that 10mm is no good as thy would be universal, I don't want the wheel wobbling or worse still falling off so safety is my concern!

Hi guys Know spacers have been done to death and I've had a good search but wanted some opinions. I have a 172 RS Clio running the standard 195 tyres with 182 cup pack alloy wheels. I'm lowered on Eibach Sportlines. I'd like to bring the front wheels out as they sit slightly into the arches...

Cheers man, thats what I was looking to do. Look forward to seeing a pic.

Nah man, I'm rubbish at photoshop and wanted to see the real thing

...More specifically does anyone have any pics of a standard black 172/182 with standard silver bullets only with the lettering coloured black? Thinking of doing it myself but want to see what it'll look like first! Ta!

Looking to paint the lettering on 2.0 16v bullets in black for a bit o' contrast. Plan to use a small modelling brush to do 'em. Any idea what paint I need to get and whether I need to lacquer over the top? Guide/weblinks would be good :)

After fitting a larger 307 splitter and taking it off after three days (thought it looked too big and the split in the middle was annoying) I tracked down a small meggy splitter off a ph2 (I think) .....incredibly easy to fit - pretty much already fits the contour of the 172 bumper, just had to...

Poorboys sealant, R22 Carnauba wax...fantastic and easy...cleanyourcar.co.uk ;)

Hi guys Have a black 172 on 182 cup pack alloys, lowered and shortly to fit a small meggy splitter. Clear repeaters. So...what colour do you think I should paint my calipers? Any pics of black 172's/182's with painted calipers? Also, any idea of the best way to get rid of rust spots on the...

Try the garage next to Jacksons, on Pontygwindy Road in Caerphilly, they did mine - top notch.

Got exactly the same problem, PAS fluid etc fine, whiny upon revving and quiet when idle. really irritating! bought an aux belt kit from Ktec (£140 inc post), having it fitted thursday, will let you know how i get on!

Cool any idea how long they would take? Cheers

So what ya reckon, will I be stopped for not having a poxy postcode on the bottom of the plate? What about MOT? Ta!

Are blank number plates (no UK sign/border etc) with just your reg letters on legal if standard size?

I know the cambelt is a job to be done only by those in the know and with the proper tools, but can the aux belt and aux tensioner (i.e,. full aux belt kit) be done by any competent garage? Cheers Al

Hi guys After a part number for Renault Aux belt kit for a 2002 172 Sport...any ideas? Cheers Alex

Hi guys Fitted a larger (45mm) 307 splitter to my 172 yesterday. Looks good. However, it does catch on the floor when reversing out of my drive etc. Im lowered a little bit on Eibach Sportlines. Anyone elses catch on the floor? I'm tempted to remove it due to the catching but it looks...

Awesome looking wheels, I bought a great set off powey on here, really made a big difference to my 172. IIRC renault quoted me about £700 for a new set of 4!!!!

Question as above :) Are spacers really worth it?Currently have a black 172, lowered on Eibach sportlines, with 182 cup pack alloy wheels. What benefit would spacers give me? If it's just for looks im not sure I can justify £100 odd for them! As I understand it they simply bring the wheel...

To be honest dude, I havent got a clue whether it's the larger 307 one or the smaller? This splitter type malarkey is confusing! Will give it a go on the weekend, I was concerned that it needed alot of bending to fit right, we'll see! Fingers crossed! Cheers for the pics and advice, veruy much...

Thanks Ed, thats great. So did you find that the end needed bending quite a bit to get around the Clio bumper? I was worried I had bought the wrong model of splitter!! Also what car did you fit yours to? Were there screws already on the underside of the bumper? Cheers A.

Hi guys Received a 307 splitter thru the post, it's this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380128781993 When having a look to see about fitting, you have to bend it quite a bit to get round the curve of the clio bumper properly, is this right? Tried masking taping it...

Can anyone show me what silvervisions I need for the front and rear of my 172? Is it the same set for front and back? Web link would be great! Cheers Alex

hello Will the 182 Cupped wheels fit my RS 172 tyres without any problems? Thanks Alex

The below one looks cracking...might be what Im after two questions tho 1. Will it work with the existing stalk controls? 2. Does the USB stick just stick in the front of the H/U? Cheers for all the help Alex

Just wanted an all new head unit so the quality will be better and want to be able to stick a USB memory stick into the front...
