I sold my silver Ph1 in early Summer and bought a 225 TT, really didn't enjoy owning the TT but that is another story. I decided I wanted another 172 and it was going to be either a black Ph1 or a Cup, I'd really enjoyed owning my previous 172's and just thought it would be good to stick with...
I fancy having a go at using an electric car polisher, as under light the paint work of my 172 has a fair few swirl marks. I did also find a car polisher at work that was bought for a solid surface worktop 3 years ago but never used, so I suppose that has influenced my decision.
Now I'm not...
Maybe a repost but I think the price has been reduced a fair bit. Not sure what you'd do with it but seems cheap at £850!

Had some K-tec coilovers supplied and fitted/setup by NW Performance last Saturday. Have been really impressed with them so far.
I've also painted my side badges and fitted some PH2 lights.
Can't beat a Jelly Belly!
From about 3.5k revs in 1st and 2nd I have got a knocking noise/vibration coming from what sounds like the drivers side wheel area. The more revs the more violent these vibrations are.
On the ramps there appeared to be a fair bit of play in the ball joint so this was replaced earlier today...

The seller say's they WON'T fit a Phase 1 172.
...does anyone know? I want to have some sub frames made for my Cobreau seats and it would be great if I didn't have to take a seat out to find this out.

Well I had been trying to sell these for a couple of days on here as I'd had a change of heart. But there was very little interest to be honest. So instead I sold my 16 inch Oz F1's to Gaz and decided to fit these.
I wasn't so sure when I fitted the first one but by the time all four were on I...
Two weeks ago I returned to 172 ownership and the biggest cosmetic issue with my purchase was the wheels. The Oz F1's were curbed and paint had come away in several areas on all of the wheels, so I thought I'd buy these 182 wheels.
When I fitted them about a week ago I didn't think they...
I'm planning on replacing the sticker type "Renault Sport" door sills on my PH1 with those off a PH2. What's the best way to get get the PH1 ones off and what have people used to stick the newer ones on with?
Cheers
...bought a 172 on Saturday never notice any unusual noise on the test drive or on the way home (100 miles), but when I had my head under the bonnet yesturday I noticed a slight whining noise. This increases in noise with the more revs you give it and now I know it is there I can hear it when...
Sold my TT last week and decided I either wanted a 172 Cup or a black PH1. Ended up buying the below on Saturday.

Had a bit of an issue with this TT about a month ago, was covered in General Chat and I got a lot of advice and support from alot of you which I really appreciated. So thought it was about time to get some pictures of it banged up.
I had a couple of 172's over the 12 months before buying the...

Probably not what some of you were expecting, but still could be a bargain for someone.
Sold my Ph2 172 at the end of May.
Bought this off a cliosport member back in June. It's a 2000 W plate 172, and had 53k on when I bought it. The only faults were exhaust related, blowing and a rattle on start up. Sorry a lot of the pics were taken on my phone.
At a pub on the way home...
