first one was on the burntwood bypass black with bodykit im sure it had cliosport sunstrip,second was a black 172 by safeway in burntwood we had a little play but he let me go but gave me a flash.i havnt used it much lately so took it out tonight and completely wrung its neck
there is two points here really cause it is annoying when anything goes up in price especially when we pay more than most countries already but people are all better off nowadays cause everyone earns more money now
If you was gonna put a decat on it there wouldnt be much point paying extra for a modified version with warranty then voiding it ,you might aswell buy a 182 for £12000 and send it to one of the tuning companies,
Engines are far advanced now not hand built anymore,but a few hundred mile on it first would help even one of the renault tuners will tell you that,18k thrashed miles isnt alot but the engine wont last as long

Theres a set of 16s on ebay i dont know how much renault but in 17s they are very expensive cause they are made out of one block which makes them stronger(flowforming)
New cars such as the 172/182 etc are more powerful but are a lot heavier and toys like aircon are all draining power,williams with 172 engine would be quicker than standard williams obviously.Its the same with golfs the mk4s & 5s are fat and heavy where as the mk1 was light and nimble,1.8 20vt...
