I think they spoilt a totaly nice looking car it should be in max power, you can only go so far with a 172 IMO exterior wise, and they have gone beyond that point.

Was at work today and a batch of Clio Extremes came off the ship, and i noticed that they were all in B76 Flame Red :o which is unique to the 172(sorry Paddy ;)) they also come with matching red and black seats and red dash inserts, Alloys and Rear Spoiler are now on the option list.
They also...

Yeah as Paddy said cut down the side in two places through the plastic and pull it off, or you could try using molegrips but wouldnt like to think what it was doing to the linkage underneath. We had to change 100 gearnobs on the Senics in 1 day at work as they all came with the wrong spec...
