I think you are right there dave, I have to admit that I did not pay them any attention when I was driving. They just strike you as bright silver when you first see them, lets face it, it is a not going to stop you buying one ! LOL !

greeper, you cheeky b**tard ! LOL ! I should have thought before I said that ! LOL ! As for being excited about the test drive, it was a spur of the moment thing, no time to forget to change out of my PJs ! LOL ! Pete, I noticed that had Michelins too. JAY, the seatbelts are bright...

NO WAY !!!!!!!!!!!! I LIVE IN LLYS ANEIRIN NOW ! HALFWAY UP THE ROAD ! THIS IS SPOOKY ! I am quite scared now ! LOL ! ;) You are 10 years old than me ? I see, what threw me was that you said you went to Pontybrenin till 1997 when you were 7 ? That should make you 14 now ! LOL ...

Cheers greeper ! I will do that mate ! What can I say, the missus likes the rugged look ! LOL ! ;) I like the interior of the Clio to be fair though. Surprise Surprise welsh182 it is Cilla ere ! OH MY GOD ! I LIVE IN GARDEN VILLAGE NOW AND I ALSO WENT TO TO PONTYBRENIN PRIMARY SCHOOL...

I am in Gorseinon mate. Not far at all. Will have to gimme a shout when you get the 182, be good to see that colour in the flesh too ! Fair enough, always good to have mates as car salesmen eh !?!? LOL ! Bet you cannot wait. I drove a Ford Ka before I got the 172 which is a lot worse than...

welsh182, where in Swansea you from mate ? Were you not tempted to go for an import instead of buying from West End in Swansea ? You could have saved £1000s. I was quite surprised he let me go out on my own but I did tell him I already had a 172 parked on the forecourt, maybe that helped.

Eibachs it is then ! Gotta be done, may even do it before my track day in April now after that test drive. I dont want a hard ride tho that is the only thing. The 182 was quick with just 100 miles on the clock, they will both get better with age !

I just think the exhausts are too small and stick out slightly too far from the rear bumper. All my personal opinion of course.

Viv, so did the 172 with Eibachs feel as good as the 182 Cup ? HONESTLY ? "That car looks so at home in your drive!!! ;)" Shhhhhhhhhh ! Dont say that, my 172 is sitting on the drive now, she may hear you ! LOL ! Spot the difference ...

The problem I see with this car is that it has not been serviced at the correct intervals so the warranty is VOID IIRC ? Here is the letter from Renault regarding the 3 year warranty. As long as it is an EU import and it was registered after 17th October 2000 then it has 3 years warranty but...

Stay off the crack Jim ! ;) The front bumper is the Cup version which is wider IIRC ? Maybe that is it ?

56Kers BEWARE ! LARGE PICS BELOW ! OK, just went for a spin to Halford to get some wiper blades for the missus car. Had a look around and then thought we would go and have a look in the local Renault garage to see if they had the 182 in ! We got there and there it was ! A brand new...

You do not have to if they dont ask....... ;)

No worries, it was somebody else who posted the letter ages ago but it has helped a lot of people out. As Paul_CTR said, register it with Renault UK but your car should be on the system when it is registered by Motorpoint anyway, mine was.

Sarah, see my post above.

Big Iain, here is the letter from Renault regarding the 3 year warranty. As long as it is an EU import and it was registered after 17th October 2000 then it has 3 years warranty : http://homepage.ntlworld.com/dai.littlewood/RenaultLetter.jpg This was posted a while ago and when I bought my...

Yeah I know that but she hasnt bought an STi ? All Clios bought from Motorpoint will be EU imports wont they ? So will have a 3 year warranty. Not heard anything to the contrary ?

Nice purchase and a good price and colour ! You will all get a 3 year warranty with your car whether it is an import or not. Big Iain, why are you sorry ? She got the same car for £300 less ?

LOL @ Mike ! Definitely mate ! ChavyBoy fooked that up good and proper when he did mine ! Ha Ha ! The C was all wonky ! Ha Ha ! Just finished it ! It is just a little ever so slightly off spirit level perfectness but I am happy with ! Tried to line up the yellow stripe with the lines on...

Just about to stick my large external Cliosport.net stick on the car. Any advice on how to do it properly other than what is said on the instructions that come with it ? Clean and then heat up (using heated rear screen) the rear screen and then peel off the back, line it up and stick on...

I had just turned 23 when I picked up my first 172, 24 when I picked up my second 172 ! 19 is very young to have a 172, good on you ! Hope the running costs prove ok ! Enjoy !

You are right mate ! You are ! I have probably seen a total of 6 or 7 seperate 172s/Cups around Swansea before today and then I see 4 in the space of 20 minutes ! Crazy ! It is a nice day so maybe they are just out enjoying the sun as they are garaged during the rain ! LOL !

Gutted mate...... and it is for sale too ! People need to pay more attention !

Just dropped my missus off in Swansea town centre, normal Saturday afternoon traffic but in the space of 5 minutes I saw not 1, not 2 but 3 172 Cups ! Are they getting common ? Granted, I have only seen 2 other Cups around Swansea (possibly the same ones I saw today) but to see 3 in that short...

Try it..... you might like it ! :D

My 1st 172 was a March 2002 model (as is my current one come to think of it) so if yours was built around the same time then that is why. Dont worry about it, it is good fun shooting cars coming the other way with your water jets ! LOL ! :p

LOL @ dogmaul ! The 172 seats just seem to blend much better whereas the white holes stand out a lot on the 182 seats, personal preference but I definitely prefer the look of the 172 seats.

....last night ! Strange feeling to see that extra digit appear on the screen ! LOL ! 9999........ 10000 ! Picked the car up last week with 9730 miles on it and now it has done 10013, still low for a car coming up to 2 years old next month but I think I liked it better when it was just 4...

I think so too dogmaul but then we would say that wouldnt we ! I am not bitter ! LOL ! ;)

Yeah, I lost my balls on my 1st 172, took it in to get it fixed under warranty and they didnt pop out then ! It is as everyone else has said, a bumper off job unfortunately. This problem only happened on early MKII 172s IIRC, they changed the design so it didnt happen to later models, I may...
