Decided i might not go out in it this weekend, the trouble is i cant even go out for a drive to see if its ok. all shall be revealed on monday lol.

So, today is my first experience on driving in snow and well .... in the first 10 minutes i slide into a curb at the bottom of my road. My wheel trim explodes into at least 30 pieces and i get a bent rim, should just be a bend out job. Lucky (for now) i cant see anything broken behind the wheel...

Hi mate you need to clear some space in your inbox before I can reply to your PM, send me another message when you've done it

Rather foggy today.

Will do, think it could just be the whole stick and everything that you have to remove, bit of a blag when you only have the 172 gear knob to choose from.

Thanks mate ill have a look.

I have a MK2 Ph1, when i pull the handle up to get in the back, the passenger seat will tilt but wont slide on the rollers. I cant see anything stuck underneath. Also when i pull the handle underneath it rolls freely, so there nothing stuck, anyone else had this problem? It worked when i first...

Hi, has anyone attemped to get the gear knob of a PH1, ive tried twisting and pulling. I think i remember someone saying they are glued on but cant remember. Thanks, Luke

The latest mod, whacked a dimmer switch in as the connector was already there on the loom, and put my fog light switch on the new panel.

Love it, i was looking at ej9's for a bit the insurance was only 2k on a 1.6 but my dad didnt want me having a 1.6 for my first car lol, i settled with a clio with insurance at £1600, but sure enough im more than happy with it.

My first and current car

Well... Thanks for all the tips guy's, i'll be putting some of them into practice over the next few months!

So, here goes, :clap: I'd Never afford those rims. lol Thanks :approve: Thanks :approve: You got there before me lol Yer i want dual optics, ill get them in a couple of months and yer i was trying to cover up the bad boy 14" ers :approve:. Thats what the M6 is for lol. Thanks, yer...

So a couple hours in photoshop, How i want to get my car looking in six months time:

Fog lights all wired up and yellow tinted: i like them :p.

I had a proper good look around for something to wire into oh well just got it to a normal rocker switch now

Hi thanks for the replies, I had the genuine fogs and genuine wire that connects them up so drilled a hole through to the engine bay with a grommet then threaded the wires over to the little panel next to the steering wheel with the light leveling switch, everything is grounded just gotta finish...

Looking to wire in some fog lights, does anyone know where any free, or the best gromets are to wire the button into the dash?, or do i need to drill a hole. Thanks, Luke

The thing is, I went down the matte black route and did a proper job spraying, but because I live in the countryside and its flooded everywhere all the paint has come off because I couldn't lacquer them so I gave up and got some trims. Getting alloys in a few months anyway it'll do the job for...

So if your in my situation: 1. Can't afford alloy's 2. Don't want to risk your insurance. 3. Want turinis I think i may have found a cheap £20 alternative:

So another month has gone by and a few more things to report: Changed the dash clock to blue and sanded down the orange strip: and i found these trims for £20 on ebay, personally the most turini looking trims and they look pretty decent: and looking a lot better than the steelies.

Links in now! :)

Just wondering what the grey box is on top of this engine, mine has the brackets for something this must be it, if the air filter is at the back what's that? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-CLIO-1-1-IDEAL-FIRST-CAR-LOOK-IDEAL-XMAS-PRESENT-/130821963037?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item1e7598bd1d&_uhb=1

Jeez, £20 trims mate haha it's the way forward.

All the above with few carbon wrapped bits such as the interior strips, possibly spray alloys black, skoda splitter £15 on ebay and should be decent, i know about the money situation, can't afford to do anything to mine.

Haha, this was the one I saw, yer there's a woman down my road and I don't think she even knows its a 172 lol, it was around 2pm the CS sticker is in the bottom right, when I saw the sticker my mate was like, what's the matter with you haha

Parked next to me in burton, hardly ever see people off here *The Excitement* haha I was in a blue ph1 1.2 with steelies

My 2000 reg 1.2 has got nearly 109k still going strong, just doesn't like hills

and also meshed out the grille and badge, i think it looks alright;

Im into the more subtle mods so heres a few more bits that ive done 172 RenaultSport Door Sill Strips (in perfect condition, its just water on the letters): Black gear gaitor and carbon wrapped hazard switch then wrapped it in clear vinyl to give it a real look (looks sexy). Wrapped the...
