Numberplates are worth whatever your willing to pay. In my case £99 inc fees ;)

172 turbo sounds nice but will it be spoiled by that bloody silver grill!!

only took you 1184 posts to decide eh m8? hehe welcome aboard. Gold sticker looks good. Maybe gold one should be reserved for long serving members?

what sort of locking nut have you got on m8? Theres a certain type os spanner called a gator grip that can get locking nuts of most types out. Alternitivelt get the car to somewhere like charlie browns and get them to get the phneumatic stuff onto it. They might be muppets but they are good at...

Purely the added up effects off all the variables of using a rolling road to test engine output. I rekon if you rrd a car in the morning and then came back in the afternoon and did it again there would be a difference.

PS if the 172 was going out of the factory with 165 BHP that would have major implications with the way they advertise the car (like Mazdas recall in the us for a wrongly advertised power output)

Just to add my two penneth. I think that all 172s have near enough 172 BHP. (Due to miniscule manufacturing tolerances etc) Its far more likely that there are loads of dodgy rolling roads that are ill maintained and not callibrated properly. Rolling rodes when you think about it are quite a...

Hassle more worth than its jumble those letters up you have the answer m8! Big Job for not a lot of gain. Cruise on a small car like a 172 will make no difference to residuals.

Im waiting to see if a megane turbo lump will go in!

Ive had mine 6 months now. Quite happy with it all though the silly little faults/rattles are starting to annoy me now (its in the dealer today for the third time in 6 months!) Not sure how long Ill keep it. About 3 months in I sort of wished Id gone for a type R or a coupe turbo but I think as...
