Very specific, I know, but does anyone know of any pictures of any Ph2 172's in Iceberg, lowered on Sportline springs (or others to a similar height) and on black or grey 15" wheels? Looking to put track aimed wheels on, and black seems to hide the smaller size well.

...is currently in the post on its way to me! :rasp: Sorry, couldn't resist! :D

Hey Does anyone have any pics of an Iceberg 172 with blue highlights (mirrors, calipers, diamonds, etc)? Trying to think of a way to spice up my 172 but with the Iceberg paint having a faint blue-ness about it most other colours just don't look right. Black or Carbon looks good, but its...

I am thinking of making my Clio 'stand out' a bit as I will be taking it on track. Its an Iceberg 172 so fairly plane. I was thinking of putting some coloured wing mirrors or fog light surrounds or calipers on it. If anyone has any pics of silver clios with coloured bits on it can they post them...

HI My new Ferodo DS Performance pads on the front are squeeling at low speed. They were fine when I fitted them, but I have since done some 'spirited' driving and now they squeel when applied at low speed. They have probably been on the car now for 800 miles. WIll it go, or will I have to...

After meeting a couple of other Clio owners yesterday I today popped the pipe off that feeds the stock airbox on my 172 to get the added noise. Its Great! Went for a drive around and ended up giggling like a school girl! Especially as I brapped and boomed past a sign about 'Removing anti...

Hey After giving my 172 'the beans' around some twisties and roundabouts yesterday I have noticed that I can feel the outside front tyre leaning on the sidewall when cornering, and loosing grip. It feels like it wants to understeer and then bumps or undulations can cause it to skip a little...

Hi I thought there were 2 types of Whiteline ARB, the fixed one with 1 hole, and the adjustable with 3 holes. However I have found the one on K Tec says it has 2 holes? I am now confused? Any clarity on these from people who own one? I would ideally like an adjustable. Does the one with 2...

If you live there you must go to work before me in the mornings as I've walked past your house every day for 3 weeks and not seen it untill tonight. Looks tidy.

I was just under my car looking at the exhaust and though "that rear shock looks a bit clean?" Turn out its got a film of grease all the way from the bottom up to just above where the top plastic sleve runs out. I assume its fubared? Do I need to replace springs as well as shocks, or will...

As above, anyone got any pics? Thinking of this setup to allow me to use my car on track and have some fun without worrying about tyre costs or breaking the bank with mods. Cheers

Hi Having found hardly any difference from having a Pipercross panel filter in my 172, and realising that a cleaning kit costs twice as much as a stock paper filter, im looking to just stick a stock filter back in when my cars serviced. Unless there is a good alternative? I'm looking to...

Hi My car currently does a 75 mile a day commute, so has been fed cheap low RON fuel for 12 months. As of next week it will not be used for a commute and be more of a toy and get fed proper fuel, and I've heard that if I'm going to start feeding it higher RON fuel its worth resetting the ECU...

Hi all My car is soon to be retired from 75 miles a day commuting and become my toy, so I will be able to track it. I'm getting it serviced soon and thought I may as well change the brakes for some more suited to track use. Just putting stock pads on the back, but need recommendations for...

From Feb I will be starting a new job and getting the train to work, so the Clio will become a toy :) Im wanting to track it, so will want to mod the suspension a bit, but I also want to put 15" wheels on it as tyres are a lot cheaper. I know the Eiback Pro springs are meant to be good for...

Heading towards west ashton at about 11.30. Looked lowered and with white turini style wheels. Very nice.

As above, do the standard 182 wheels fit a 172? Is is a straight fit, and what's the offset of the 182 wheels? Cheers

So after a lorry decided to give me a nudge onto a roundabout, and then failed to stop, I'm left with a dented bootlid that won't open. If its just the boottlid that's dented, is it easy, or even possible to replace it? Cheers

Was it you following me through devizes the other day? Can't be that many carbon bonnetted clios around?

Second time I've seen you on that same bit of road. Didn't catch the number plate, but looks lowered and has one of the custom 2 piece tow eyes in the front grill. Ill wave next time :)

Bound to be a CS member, Carbon Diamonds :) Staff car park at GWH Hospital, Red 172 with V888 *** numberplate. Much cleaner than mine!

As the title days, I have a random issue. When I apply the brakes, the little fog light indicator light on the left of the dash lights up. Its not bright, its just a faint orange glow coming from it. If I jab the brakes it flashes, and if I ride the brakes at the right point it stays on, but...

Hey Does anyone know what screws are needed to hold on the plastic under tray under the engine? When I had my car jacked up the other day I noticed im missing one so the tray is being bend down by the wind. Cheers

...do you fit in a Clio with a helmet on? Its just struck me today, that after taking the spacers out my seat and getting a tiny bit lower, theres still probubly only a couple of inches clearance above my head... :S

Hi Having been convinced to keep my 172 and track it for some fun every now and again I need to get the tyres replaced. PE2's are apparently good, but for 16" wheels are just to expensive. Toyo T1R's seem to get a lot of love on here, but I've seen people say they suffer a lot on a track...

Hi all I have convinced myself (it didnt take much) that once my GF finds a job and we get settled, which should be soon, I want to track day a RS Clio. I just need to decide which one. Currently I have a Phase 2 172 pretty much as standard. Its probably worth about £2500 if I were to sell...

Hi all On looking today at my off centered an low hanging exhaust I have notice that all the exhaust mounts are fubar'd. However, as I have a K-Tec 182 style exhaust on my 172 (below), I have an additional mount at the back, under the rear bumper that the right (when viewed from the rear)...

Hi Does anyone know where I can get a radio code for my 172, preferably without having to remove the radio? I've got a new steering wheel comming soon and will need to disconnect the battery to change it. I've pm'ed matt black, but haven't heard back. Cheers

Hi all Its a few thousand miles off yet, but it wont be long untill 36k since the belts were last changed on my 172. Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for decent garages to get belts done in the West Wiltshire area? There is a Renault Dealer just down the road, but as usual, they...

Top of Kingsbury St, on a 53 plate. I drive that road every day but hav only seen it for the last week or so. On here?
