Looks cracking. I need to get my self some standard alloys instead of the Phase 1's I have on.
Love the Ph2 Side strips too, I was considering doing it myself tnik this might of swayed my decision!
Never seen this colour before looks epic.
Looks sort of gunmetal/ anthracite on one of the above pictures then when the sun hits it the sparkle really comes out.
Epic.
It's getting sorted as we speak. The guy I know is replacing the catch at no extra cost and im also booked in at Renault for early next week! Might actually get to start enjoying me car soon!
Had a quote today of £900; from someone I know too. Absoloutley devestated to be honest I was expecting a third of that, but gonna have to pay it other wise I've pissed away the £1750 i spent on the car.
Another question here guys could really do with help here.
The company the guy works for...
Does anyone have a picture of a standard phase 1 172 bay?
I know i sound a total noob... thats because i am! But bought the car Saturday and was told it was standard but im beggining to think it isn't. Not sure the exhaust is standard either.
I can provide a photo of the exhaust tomorrow but...
Thanks adie.
Yep steve bonnet hinges are knackered, theres a sort of "stopper" on the upper part to stop the bonnet going past the lower part of the hinge, it had gone past there so had to flag a van down for a pair of screwdrivers to force the hinge back past the other side (hard to explain)...
Thinking of a headlight upgrade guys as my standard ones arent brilliant.
Has anyone got any experience with osram nightbreakers, apparentley they offer 90% more light, sounds good to me for £24 a pair!
Also there is no catch on the bonnet i was reassured this was normal but never come across that before?
Sorry guys, bit of a noob never had a clio of any type.
Only just noticed the point of extra wind too. Makes sense its fairly windy today up here, and I was a t a fairly high altitude so there we go. Lesson learnt!
Another problem is now i managed to close the bonnet it wont open again!
Was the fault with the catch or the hook? ( If that makes sense)
Right thanks guys. I popped down to the garage earlier but the boss wasn't there, so the salesman told me he would tell him to phone me in the morning. I don't hold out much hope but they have been perfect thus far, so maybe i'll get lucky.
Acording to my policy I can get my windscreen changed...
Gutted.
Picked up a phase 1 172 yesterday from a local garage at 11am by 2pm today the car is fecked, only done 150 miles in it.
Driving down a road doing about 45 and all of a sudden bonnet flies open, bending bonnet and cracking the windscreen as well as a dent to the roof.
Pissed off...
I've been to buy a Ph1 today and collecting on Saturday! This i the first I've heard of a shift light tbh :o. Wouldn't be the red light by the gear stick? Assumed that to be to do with an alarm/ immobiliser.
Thanks mate very helpful.
The guy didn't mention where the belts had been done, is there a list of cambelt specialists knocking about anywhere? He did mention that the water pump had been done too though, one less job i suppose.
Thanks for the tips on the rust. Hopefully I'll be a fully...
Hey guys, I'm Mike from Sheffield, many members from round these parts?
Hopefully looking to buy a Ph1 on 80k, cambelt changed at 72k (That's exactly when it should be done, right?).
Unfortunately it has Ph2 alloys on, nothing wrong with that just prefer the Ph1's, so wondering how much can...
Hi guys I'm sure you'll get this fairly often on here but I really am lost!
Wanted a Clio 172/182 for as long as I can remember and the time is coming for me to be able to afford to buy and run one. But I'm just not sure which variant to go for, I've done a fair bit of homework but not really...
