^ depends if the car is getting lowered

Without wanting to state the obvious but put the standard suspension back on Is it just lowered on 40mm springs or have the shock absorbers been changed aswell A set of second hand standard springs will cost next to nothing on here

Both look great Put a phase 2 clio rear wiper arm on the xsi to freshen it up a bit I'll change my avatar pic soon

Yes they'll fit fine so long as you're not planning to fit 172/182 wider front wings aswell I think Subway on here sells replica skirts for less than that though

Leather was never an option in a 172 Cup and the 172 Cup blue only comes on that model Sounds like your best option is a 182 with 'Cup packs' that way you get the 5mm lower suspension and the leather you mention above

Looks great, retro fitted intermittent wiper stalk aswell

I'm selling some 17's in the forsale section, also some 16" 172 wheels in excellent condition with tyres for £250

4 x 100 Offset 37 You'll need 205/40 tyres for 17's on a clio

My old valver was a mint example back in the day:

I wouldn't take it to renault they just say you need new ones without even looking then try and charge you hundreds for the privilage

Pads might be low after 20k of hard miles but the discs will probs be ok Run your finger over the disc from the inside to the outer edge, there'll be a lip on the outer edge, the bigger the lip the more worn they are

So long as the wheels you're putting on have an offset near enough ET37 you'll be fine

The bolt spacing on the suspension is different between Cupped and non cupped but i can't remember the measurements off hand... i'm sure someone will post it up soon Ride height wise its only 5mm difference so you'd be hard pushed to tell visually

Its almost guaranteed to be the bias adjuster as its such a frequent 'problem' I'll be amazed if the rear calipers are faulty

Are the calipers definatly faulty or is it not something to do with this ? http://www.vosa.gov.uk/vosacorp/repository/MoT%20Issue%2031%20-%20Apr%202006.pdf Your local gsfcarparts.com will supply you with replacement calipers and probably offer you a discount for exchange

A set of 172 Cup wheels in need of a refurb will be approx £200-£250 Shot blasting and powdercoating will be approx £140-£150 for a set of 4

Nice one i'll await the wiper up just washed pictures

You don't sound 100% happy mate so i'd walk away You know your clios so when the right one turns up you'll not debate the pro's and con's you'll know its the one

1. Pootle - 172 mk2 2. Justin-172 Mk 2 3. White16valver - 16v (duh! lol) 4. Lee - Trophy 5. Al - (maybe in gazeratti's car) 6. Gazeratti - 172 mk2 7. Peperami - 172 Cup 8. Baldylocks - 172 Cup 9. Tomehb - 172 Cup 10. Nigel - 172 Mk2 11. Chrisg3110- 1.2 MK2 Ph1 12. Blunty - 182 13...

Powerwise it'll basically be exactly the same as standard just more noisy Where is the induction kit?

^ Standard cut down

Sounds to me like you've bought vauxhall fitment not clio Are they defo 4 x 100 as you can't really tell if you can't mount the wheel What are the numbers printed on the inside of the rim?

Tailgates are the same 2001-2006 The V6 has shorter boot struts so the boot doesn't open very high so it doesn't foul the larger v6 spoiler, a 182 has longer struts as the spoiler isn't as large Sounds like they've made an arse of something and they're trying to put the blame on you

Not really my cup of tea but i can understand the charm Auto sol that back box... no pun intended

No real pics yet mate just piles of parts Body shop in 10 days then the progress thread starts

Mint as ever mate My project is under way ;)

If you buy it damaged it will need a VIC check before a log book is issued then an MOT depending on age If its already fixed then the current owner will of needed to put it through a VIC check to get ownership and log book so that he/she can sell it on

Edde's info: Clio 2.0 History Phase 1 172 The first Mk2 2.0 liter cars were on a 2000 W plate there aren’t many though many were demonstration or car used as journalists test cars. The Spec was as below F4R 730 engine although there are some cars with a different code number...

Different to mk2's Phase 1 and phase 2's have different arms What reg is yours?

Well if you rarely use it and don't want to spend much i'd say go standard
