Ive had an L plate Clio and X reg and now have a 53 plate 172 and havent noticed any depreciation in quality by comparison to any other car manufacturer. Have experience numerous Fords and they arent any more sturdy than a Renault. Only probs Ive found have been with the dealer and by the...

Ive heard that Pheasants tend to run in front of cars instead of out of the way. Bloody f-ing things. hope you get it sorted though mate.

Cheers mate, I love those wheels and just wondered how good they would look on the Mk2. Seen em on the Mk1 Clios and they look sweet.

Has anyone got a set of these on a Mk2 172?? Or can anyone photoshop them on? I love the wheels just wondered what theyd look like. :D

I absolutely love the Euro look and that is a fine example!! :D Loving it.

There are some proper c***s out there mate so you have my sympathies. There is a some dappy tart where my mum works who was laughing about how shes bumped four cars at various times and drove off. That is shocking and makes me so angry.

I put 17s on my 172 and it hasnt affected the handling or acceleration, at least if you change the wheels it will stand out from the others!:D

I wouldnt really expect to compare build quality, quietness etc with the Audi considering there is a quite a price difference. I dont actually think the 172/182s cruise that comfortably on the motorway as feek like they need a 6th gear. My mums 1.6 Focus actually cruises better around...

Im sure the S3 is gonna be a fast car but the 1.8T just doesnt compare. As said its all down to power to weight and the A3 is more weight but less power, obvious really.

Personally I reckon the red looks ok and if you can really be arsed then colour code. Just my thoughts though.

What a strange chap haha I dont think Id want to sit in my Clio for 12 hours straight, love driving it but I like my bed quite a lot as well. lol

Id race him, take the car and then just whipe my arse on it!! haha

I know and I think deep down he knows but hes a snob and reckons its the best thing ever. Im sure he does it wind me up a bit but I dont think hed hack actually knowing that my car is quicker haha. Personally I wouldnt buy a rebadged Golf that just costs more :D

Does anyone have any pics/videos of a Clio racing an Audi 3 preferably the 1.8T??? Some guy at work still doesnt reckon my Mk2 172 would be quicker than his 150bhp A3 so I want proof. ;)

Got X666 ALX, although the standard layout still looks cool. Wanted the letters spaced X 666 ALX but the git in Halrfords wouldnt do it.

My Pioneer DEH-8400MP decided to pack up recently. Was the one with the dual face, looked great but after two years kept swiching off when the face was moved. So managed to get this unit for £350 from The Car Audio Centre. http://server2.uploadit.org/files/alexjmills3-New_Headunit1.jpg Highly...

I dont mind going to the odd cruise, provided I know there is gonna be a decent number of cars to have a look at. Dont understand the little chavs who sit in petrol stations though. All seems a bit gay to me. And wheelspinning your car makes you look like a prick coz as you say doesnt mean...

That is such a dissapointment. I mean it looks like a fecking Punto! I think Im gonna move away from Renault after my Mk2. Shame really.

I can understand your concern. If anyone is gonna drive your car hard it should be you only. Unfortunately you have to trust whatever garage you take your car to. Took my 172 in to Renault who had to road test it twice and I cant imagine they were too delicate with it. Your MPG may not be...

Unfortunately people that are in any form of sales tend to have a big ego and are cocky. I have had that experience with a few mates who started work in sales. I havent exeperienced any idiotic salesmen myself. I seem to know more than the salesmen at Renault anyway so they always say hi...

6 Pints eh!! Doesnt sound to bad lol!!

What Ive noticed with the propane kits is the fact that the flames come out exactly like that, as lit gas. Where as a turbos car that run a high fuel mix, flames like a cannon! lol

Its all a bit hostile in here isnt it! I reckon the flamer kits look pretty cool to be honest. Besides if you like it you put it on your car. Anyone who doesnt like it can just leave theres alone. :D

Unbelievable!! Cant believe the cheek of some of these pikeys b*stards. Shame she didnt run em over, would be like Burberry ten pin bowling haha

I find this all really shocking, she knew shed hit you and looked at you and still drove away. I really sympathise with you mate!! Hopefully youll catch up with her at some point, through the Police of not ;)

The only thing I found out when I was looking to buy a 172 or 172 Cup was the insurers. They all asked if it was a Cup as they knew it didnt have ABS. Dont know how much difference it would have made but worth checking that as well. :D Went for a 172 in the end but thought Id mention it as...

Assuming my post was deleted due to offensive wording. Apologies for any offence caused, apart from to whom it was directed. Whats the warned post above mean though?!?!?!

It wouldnt surprise me if Renault hadnt left it in that state and just put the mats over the top of the dirt. I left my Clio with them last week and it was spotless. Pick it up, covered in bird sh!t. They even just tried to use the wipers to get the sh*t off, had to nearly chisel it off. lol...

Does seem like a complete waste to be honest mate. If its the number plate youre thinking about then just get a private one and no one will know how old your car is. If its the seats just buy them from someone else. Wouldnt cost as much as swapping your car. About £500 for the plate and £800...

If you go to the right place they wont damage them at all. Ive got 17" shadow chrome wheels on my car, had a tyre replaced and there wasnt a mark on em. Outside or the inside, the guy was proud to tell me that its tricky but if youre careful they wont get damaged! :D Unless its Kwik-Fit!! lol
