Not everyones cup of tea I know, but I'd like to do this to my tail light on my silver 172 a bit similar to in the below pictures
When its doesnt seem like I can buy any like this as standard I need to tint them myself.
Has anyone done this before and can advise on whats the best way...
Hey I need some help.
Just got my 172 a couple of weeks back. I have and iphone with an in car charger/dock that plugs into the cigarette adapter. I also use the iphone as my Sat Nav.
Problem is the cigarette adaptor is way down by the gear knob and it’s not practical to have a Sat Nav screen...
The monaco blue looks alright. Again check the ticket on the MOT and tax and that is proper full service history, so many low mileage ones have had it done on mileage only and not age. if it has all those things and its as described it all looks good on first impressions
Not that you need to ask but ask for an overview of scratches, dints, condition of alloys, is there still a spare wheel etc. There is no mention of condition which for a dealer normally means its nothing to shout about otherwise they would
looks tidy, and a decent price for a dealer - especially if it comes with a bit of a warranty.
You will need to buy an aerial though..."
Cambelt is the deal breaker though on how good value it is.
The add doesnt mentioned MOT or Tax, though a dealer will put it through its MOT if it hasnt
no service history because its and import! do other countries not service their cars!!!!
how do you know its never been serviced other than trust. Why have old MOT's but not invoices for services?
I would want hard proof that the cambelt had be done.
I could be wrong but i think there is a...
Seems a decent buy. Thought I got my excellent condition silver 172 with FSH, and cambelts done 48k on the clock, standard and a 2002 plate for £3500; and that was a good by in my opinion
I would want some more details about the alloys and check that it really does have full service history (it...
Forgot to say chaps - I have already contacted k-tec and they dont have stock at the moment - and they are unlikely to get in until ordered so they cant help with the above query.
Hi All,
These lights are available at K-tec at

Anyway I've been talking to a member on here Gstar2006 who has them on his silver 172 below (same colour as me).
Though he says he got them from the above link, they do seem darker on his...
Hi chaps.
I'm from Cumbria too, but do you know where abouts this benny is? I want to get mine done, but if its the other end of cumbria is an hour and a half drive!
I'm from Ulverston by the way
not a fan of the above, quite like the ebay ones but ideally would like a clio/renaultsport logo on both sides and a bit more visible. Will check out autostyle
Does anyone know or recommend anywhere where I can get some car mats for my Clio 172 which has a cliosport or renaultpsort logo on them.
I know I can get some of eBay, or custom ones from JustMatz but I'm looking for other options and recommendations
Thanks guys
I had seen these which looked like they weer slightly smoked as standard
the above is the product shot is what is used on all the websites, but i found another website that take their own photos and it actually looks like this and not tinted at all!
Sorry to bring back an old post but are those above the K-tec ones, you said they are but they done look like the only k-tec ones available at
http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2004&pic=1
Are you sure they have not been smoked
Could do with some help as i am trying to figure out...
I think the vinyll or the carbon fiber ons you can get on K-tec are ok on black or silver cars (though not sure what point is with a black car)
if I'm honest I love the 172 but I'm not a fan of the rear side window having square edges next to the pillar, but the front side windows is rounded -...
i'm just going to use hammerite smooth, its as good as and cheaper.
I'm thinking at the moment I may go with black, get some black/carbon look vinyll to blank out the center pillar and with some rear lights with a dark shroud round them the car could look quite mean just being silver and black.
actually, I've just been and had a look at them and the have like a frosted domed end to them, so I am wondering if they are LED Side lights.
The colour is white ish with blueish glow, normal bulb would be a bit yellow surely?
Do these sound like LED's? if so are these likely to pass an MOT...
not sure if this is a problem but I've had my 172 for a few days now and when its dark and I put my side lights on they seem really dim, i.e. you can only just tell from in the driver seat that there is some illumination in front of you.
Is this normally and are they quite dim, the just seem...
