I'm still glad I chose the Cup over a 172. They have to be revved to get the most out of them, but are good little cars for little money these days.

Think I may have seen this one the other day coming out of the trading estate by wickes.

£56 before trade discount? If so how much are they with the trade card?

Yes.

It would never feel the same to me having a car back after its been stolen.

A mate of mine had his car stolen and found it a week later randomly a few streets away. Was left unlocked outside someones house. He went back with the keys and took it back home.

So the boot floor is a goner. Did you get the details of the driver before you left the scene?

If he sources a used OEM exhaust and then removes the stainless one, you are actually worse off. You should have checked under the bonnet! You never know what you might find under there. Bodged wiring with match sticks, mayo oil, perished belts etc etc. You can't buy a car and then take it...

Whack it on the lowest and fit and forget.

Pics of his nose across your rear quarter panel?

^ I have been shouting your username several times over this thread.

Coolest car my dad ever owned was a Lotus Cortina when they came out. In my 23 years of life I have never known him to own anything cool.

Just give them a wheel and tell them you want it to fit a clio with 60.1mm hubs. Let them measure the wheel bore and order the spigots, otherwise who knows what you may end up driving out with.

Driveshaft problems!? What is causing the problems? I was under the impression that the rear platforms even on their lowest settings was just low enough to take the arch to the top of the tyre. Any pics?

I am going to go for the hardest one and wait a few weeks for it to come around ;)

Never, Ever try and buy nuts and bolts.

Fail on my part! 172 cup

£29.10 a piece for T1'R on Camskill.co.uk That's presuming you are talking 195/50/15

Does anyone have / be kind enough to take a pic of their fuse box under the bonnet please. I have a fuse at the bottom of the tray and presume its either been dropped as a spare, or I am going to find something random doesn't work in the future. :star:

Excellent! ^^ I am guessing that they will be expensive for what they are. It wouldn't suprise me if they were near a fiver for the pair.

Edited for accuracy. Seriously it's that easy.

Seriously, just measure the bore of the wheel with a tape measure. *measurement* - 60.1mm spigot ring.

If someone could post up the part numbers thatuld be great as I would like 2 new ones

The 57.3mm bit is the Seat hub size. For an Ibiza, say 76mm down to 57.3mm internal ring size You, 76mm down to 60.1mm internal ring size.

Do you have the wheel with you to measure it? You can just use a tape measure rather than worrying about using a vernier.

aslong as they are 60.1 internal size. And I am guessing that OZ are either 72 or 76mm from factory then you reckon?

Re read my long post until it sinks in. Wheel manufacturers make the metal hole large. That way they can make reducing rings to fit all cars. The Ibiza has a small hole, the clio has larger. Hence why it won't fit. I bougt Polo rings with say for arguments sake 59.3 rings (i dont know...

Yes. I am going to explain it in simple terms to get it through. Don't think I am being nasty, but we will be here all night if you don't get the basics of it. Imagine all aftermarket alloy wheels come with a hole the size of a roll of cellotape. This large hole ensures that all car...

I have had to get a mate in the trade to order me a new driveshaft. He has made some calls and found me a non genuine copy shaft for a motor factor for my 172 cup. The motor factors have said that the 172 cup shafts are different. I imagine they mean that they have an ABS ring on them which...

If you mean that without the spigot the hole in the wheel is still too small to get over the hub, then you have no choice but to get them machined. But, that would be very rare as its usually just manufacturer specific wheels like Renault Turini's etc that have holes made in the specific size...
