The 1.2 is gone. Sold off cheap to a mate (£800), this was the last picture I got of her before she was driven off. Quite sad really lol. But hey ho. Loving the new car! For people who havnt seen my new thread I've started now, these are the recent snaps of the new one (old pics sucked as it...

Fantastic thanks mate :)

Thanks cub :) who is the nearest specialist to guildford? Obviously who is trusted and stuff. And how much does a general health check cost? I have no issues with the car, I just want to know if everything is as it should be (unless its really expensive I won't bother as I dont actually NEED to...

I doubt I'd be one of them unfortunately as its going to be a couple months until I get it done :/ how much would it go up to after out of interest? It's a shame you're 110 miles away aswell, just noticed where you are!

That's a good price that. How long is the offer on for? I will be wanting all mine done within the next couple months I believe. Also read all of your customer reviews and you sound like a good bloke!

I've found it seems to get louder the faster you drive. It isn't a loud noise as such - you can't hear it over the radio for example but when nothing else is on you can hear it. My mate in his 182 Said his whines but not quite as much as my 172 - he recommended replacing the gearbox oil. Would...

I bought mine about a week and a half ago now. 57k miles, 1 owner from new, FSH and in very good condition (minus a hairline crack on front bumper) in flame red, completely standard for £2100. Cambelt is due end of this year. I'm not sure whether or not price wise is good, I'm not really fussed...

Sorry to jump in on your thread but my car does exactly the same. Is there a way to physically check the mounts before you replace them or is it just hit and miss? I don't really want to be changing parts if they're still in good nick. Also mine has a whine to it aswell, sounds like a...

I think I may go for 15 all round just to be on the safe side :p I certainly want to space them out. How much did yours cost cub? And what spacers did you buy? Taaaaa

Cheers Dan!

Thanks for all the kind comments everyone! I will have a little look at the springs properly this weekend and see if they have any brand names on them. Chippin, your old flamer looked amazing! I have noted down what width spacers you went for and will look into getting them. Insurance wise, it...

Thanks :) yeah it's a bit of an improvement that's for sure!

Looked nice, and very clean! Also lowered? Are you on here? You were turning right at the crossroads heading towards the little co-op and the wooden bridge pub! Ollie

Can somebody please add 'MichaelGrimes' to the list please? Can't do it on my phone, but he's said he will be coming aswell! I believe he's going to join the convoy too. Ollie

Thanks mate :) and hm, interesting. Mine are like a satin black colour - told a mate this though and he thought they may be aftermarket. Nevermind though! Just appears to be quite low in that picture I guess

Quick pic I got of her today :) out of interest does anybody know what colour standard springs are on a sport? Thanks!

I think I may be up for this too. PM me the details closer the time and il let you know :) Ollie

I will give it a go today possibly then. Thanks mate!

Save up and stop splashing out on the 1.2! :p that's why I just stopped on my old car and saved up. So happy I did now :) And thanks mate, the updates will be slow-ish for the first couple months as I am a little struck for cash ATM lol, but I would love to have it lowered for CSS!

Yeah they're the main 2 things I have planned for the car! Was thinking cooksport springs? They give a nice drop IMO and have alot of good reviews. Spacers, was thinking 15mm front and rear?

Flame red <3 , although I am slightly biased. What are those smaller arials people fit? What car are they from, anybody know? Will try and get some better pics of it :)

Hi all! So some of you may have remembered my 1.2 clio dynamique... Which was a great laugh to drive... But after a year and a half of driving I've decided to upgrade a little! New car is a flame red 172. Havnt got many pictures yet as only had it a week. Car is on 57k miles, FSH, 1 owner...

How hard was this to remove? Havnt tried yet but have thought about spraying it black as mine is pretty grey. :/ clio looks nice, Evo looks nicer ;p Ollie

Likewise. Cleaning Mine today and then posting some pics! Need to update my avatar picture as I now don't have the little 1.2 lol

^ this.

I will keep an eye out! Mines very similar. Havnt actually got any pictures yet lol need to clean it today and il grab some!

Any vids of this cheaper setup? Interested to hear it! Ollie

Fair enough! Funnily enough I've only had my flamer for a week aswell lol. Completely standard but have added a splitter today. Wouldn't mind hearing what they sound like with an exhaust! Hopefully il bump into you somewhen and can have a listen :)

Oh lol. Not another flamer near me! I actually live in guildford but my girlfriend lives in whitstable so I'm here most weekends! And yeah I've put a post about the other 172 on here before but don't think he's on here. Maybe see you around?! Is your car standard?

If you're judging by my display picture, that wasn't me :p there is a silver 172 with a black bonnet floating around whitstable. On the other hand, if it was a flame red 172, it was me! What car Do you have? Do you live around here too?
