I knew it was 22% for the clios as i was going to order another Mk2 172 but im undicided yet, i didnt think the V6 would be 15% more like 10% ill just have to wait and see.

Just like to say what a easy job they are to change, the hardest part was taking the wheels off lol. All in all about 10 minutes a side, 17,500 miles i got out of the old ones, i thought they would have lasted longer than that. Then i took it to a 4 wheel alinement centre because i noticed the...
Just thought id share this with you lot, we got a couple of 255s in today at work both in blue with the silver side intakes :cool: anyway i got the lads to put the etches on the windows, fit the locking wheel nuts, my mate Andy.m who sometimes comes on here, has to fit the alarms and trackers to...

Si172, Heres a picture of my engine after its been polished using an air polisher, a Dremel wont work and abit of autosol on a rag wont do a thing.
If you contact BenR and ask him he should be able to sort you out and polish your engine.

paddy i dont know why your using that optimax, when i used it in mine (only twice) it ran like a bag of s**t wouldnt even tick over properly very lumpy not what it should be like, since then ive never used it again, i only use (BP) super unleaded and the car runs brilliant.
Paul
Rich-D, You could always try bolting it to the mod bracket stay like i have done, and as for locating the air feed to the top grill this isnt possable as there is no space for the air feed to go, the best place is the lower grill by far, never had no problems with it being there regarding...

Thanx for the comments,
VivJ, as for the silver bit in the middles of the diamond it was a carry on getting it painted the painter as work laughed when i showed him what i wanted painting it looks alot better though.

When the part number becomes available to the dealers (Renault) it will retail at £245 including VAT plus if you need the brake light that will cost £35 then what ever it costs to get painted, the brake light from a normal 172 style spoiler will fit, then the struts which i havnt got a price for...
Thanx to the stores department at work for making loads of phone calls to france and back my lovely Mk2 V6 spoiler arrived on wednesday within 30 minutes it was off to get painted. the next day i fitted it what a b*****d to fit. with it being more chucky than the Cup spoiler i previously fitted...

I also bought my viper second hand at donny last year for £100, I took it to work and got it painted iceberg silver looks the biz, and yes i did polish the inlet myself it took about 3 hours from start to finish using different grade sand papers on a air buffer, then finished it off...
Rob your talking crap 172 contis and cup contis are exactly the same tyre theres nothink different between the two, i work for reno and asked the lads in the tyre bay and they said both cars get fitted with the same tyres. Never believe what you read, didnt they say they were going to bring out...
