I wouldnt trust Renault doing a MOT test. I just cant stand the way every dealer slams the bonnet down. Saying that I brought my first Clio from Renault 2nd hand. They gave it 12 months MOT with a broken seatbelt, broken brake lights and a cracked fog light.

I'd leave it like it is, the black strips match the rest of the car well.

Sorry John I love it too much, didnt you have a flame red 172?

Cool that would be my dream job. Nice pics btw.

Has anyone seen one with a full length sunroof yet?

^PMSL

mytyres.co.uk have michellin exalto pe2 195/50/15s for £44 at the moment, that would be my choice.

Yeah you'll need new cylinders and brake shoes. Very common problem with Clios.

Thanks for the comments guys.

pm me your email address and ill send it to you.

Love it, white wheels on silver cars look really good.

No idea where you could get it done, go for a drive so the engine is warm, then park up and put some big sheets of cardboard under the car, then in the morning see if they are stained with oil so you can tell where its coming from.

Ive done my 1.2 and need to do my 172 soon. First of all when engine is cold remove filler cap, need to bleed it by disconnecting the lower hose from the radiator and the bleed screw on the plenun chamber. Bleed out all fluid. (at this point you could flush radiator out with hose pipe through...

I thought I had a picture but cannot find it. The guy that had my car before me paid out for a full new Renault exhaust! If you;ve got knocking at the rear it could be loads of things: -nackered/leaking shocks -rear suspension mounts/cracked rubbers -loose toolkit in the boot -snapped spring...

The bleed screws for the brakes are on the back of each of the 4 calipers, they are covered with a rubber cap.

If you have a look its definatly there on the 172mk1, follow the coolant pipe.

Whats the code for your car thats on the vin plate, e.g. CBOM/BBOA etc, also whats the fabrication number?

Green.

Not sure if they would fit to be honest. Go into Renault and ask, I bet you can order them seperatly.

Nice, where did you get the number plates done like that?

lol, nice.

Theres a connector between the car and the bumper on the passenger side, check that as the wet and mud can easily get to it and corrode the connectors. You'll find it somewhere between the back of the fog and the wheel arch.

Now thats a smart looking car. :approve:

Its calipers, the brake pads are the black bits you can see in the caliper. Your best bet is spraying or painting them, I did mine at the weekend with heat resistant spray. There's also places like http://www.biggred.co.uk/ that will refurbish them and powdercoat the colour.

lol, if it was a 1.2 courtesy car I would understand..

Nice car, nice to see a different colour for a change, isnt that carpark where all the doggers go?

Colour might not be perfect, its spot on with my monitor but probably not on others. Colour coded: Colour coded with coilovers. ;)

Have you got any full pictures of the car so can PS the side strips?

Spotted going over the roundabout in Barwell, I was in the lay-by. Car looked very nice. In fact it looked like Has's.
