There's two bolts, one to unscrew fully (has a torx T25 or T30 hole on top IIRC) and once (mine was gold in colour with another torx hole on top) that just needs to be loosened to slide the bracket out.
The one to unscrew on mine was fooked, so lots of WD40 and mole grips. Get the right angle...
I might skip this week as I've man flu and could do with getting better. It took all my effort today to not dribble snot around the office on my first day.
Thanks Mish. I was thinking of spacing it out if I got one, but a lot of police around the local areas so wouldn't take the gamble. Can't find any last two letters that I can relate to unfortunately :(
Just come! Persuaded. Done.

I think the list is about right.
Cheers Nick, will do for a bit. Weird it took me ages to like my 1.2s, but I loved these as soon as I stood back to take a look.
Aye, will be sorted, hopefully soon. Just haven't got the energy to even read up about it today.
Welcome to CS.
Flame red is a great colour, I'm not so keen on black but they look great with coloured wheels. Monaco blue looks best though ;)
A quick warning, there will soon be loads of guys posting asking you for pics, the harassing may go on for days, it may irritate you, it may bring...
Thanks. Will keep them silver for a bit, but I will probably get bored after a few months so will want a change.
:S really? I've still got the cut outs in one piece. Maybe they could be ghetto fixed back together if needed...
So got my wheels on this morning. Quite a change from my gloss black Pro Race 1.2s but I really like them.
I also removed the fogs and cut away my arch liners to aid brake cooling for Snetterton. I didn't want to remove the driver's side completely as it looks like as it protects the cam...
Is it silly that it feels worse when you see a badly modified car of the same colour you own? :s
I think the wheels look ok on it, if you're not bothered about handling, but everything else is indeed w**k. I've never understood the want for silver grills, let alone such crap style grills. Oh...
Yup, bought them yesterday and fitted today, but didn't cost much more for brand new. Really want to see how good they are after a lot of good comments about them. Otherwise back to PE2, epic tyre for price, grip and wear.
:rasp: I wanted a change and plan on doing a fair bit of track next...
Yeah I'm having them Rob :)
I've just got myself a pair of Hankook V12 Evos for them, so will see how the feel with the T1Rs. Will be interesting to see how they compare against PE2s.
Am I getting this right? When you turn right, the right wheel is scrubbing on the bit of the arch between engine bay and wheel so in the pic of the front right arch below, it would be rubbing around the top-left side of the pic.
If that's the case, I would have though spacers would help...
Around a cm, definitely not as much space as a inch. I'm going to be changing wheels in the next few days, so I'll try and get a 172 wheel on to check if you want.
I'd want to run 5mm spacers with standard wheels anyway, so they're less hidden into the arches and with 5mm you don't need to...
I'm not sure, I remember not being able to run the camber I wanted so left it in a straightish position like standard and was fine for the few months i kept standard wheels on. I'm going to have it adjusted when I get my new wheels on so will see then how much space I have.
Is yours close to...
I've got the VMaxx on my 172 and with standard wheels it was fine. It was close but no rubbing. Had to run literally no camber though.
To the OP, are you sure it's not he metal bracket? Maybe a pic to clarify?
Regular 172 seats sell for more as part leather part alcantara effect. I think the shape is almost the same if not identical, it's just the regular seats look more luxurious and are substantially different to the lower clio range. Cup seats are lighter due to simpler finish and not having...
O2 have been great for us, faster speeds than any previous provider and the never a big drop in line speeds at any point during the day.
£7.50/month if you've got o2 phone or it's £10-15 otherwise IIRC.
