This car is just beautiful...

http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=31419 Not a bad read, love reading the usual bullshit from people saying they're unreliable and the bits fall off.... yawn...

@Knuckles some of your one liners are so amusing.... ha ha... :smile:

A V6 owner told me that the paint for them was mixed by hand and not machine so all the LY V6's are slightly different. Not sure if that's a myth though.

The previous owner should be shot for putting those wheels on. Horrific. Looks much nicer now.

If the manifold was changed then i doubt it will be the flexi pipes. Has the exhaust been sealed correctly at the joints ? mine blows a little bit from cold but i know it needs re pasting.

Great project so far mate; would love that garage set up.

Nice update, keep motivated because the result will be worth it. First exclusive I have seen that I ache to own. That is a stunner.

Still a great looking car since they arrived back in 01.

So nice Dan, stunning job. Hopefully see you at a show this year.

Good effort, its what you have got and how you use it rather than wasting stupid money on fancy waxes etc.... problem with detailing is there's always that itch to try something new and it quite becomes costly...

Not sure what it is, its probably the colour which is unique to the 172 Cup teamed with Silver Turini's they just look so right. I'd love one for show and shine/concourse events... hopefully have one in a few years as a project...

cleaned it, and realised the carpet needs a bloody good steam cleaning.... that's a job for another day.

Looking forward to this, not met anyone of CS yet.

Love Snappy's steering wheels but the band at the top always looks a bit cheap for me in comparison to the rest of the wheel. The Trophy stitching is a nice touch.

Such a stunning example... there's something about a nice near OEM spec 172 Cup......

Beautiful V6; you bought it just before the boat set sale on the values... Quite an impressive sight to see the engine out, feel the pain for your wallet though :)

UR looks so good on the 197; i had the flexi pipe problem a few months ago and it wasn't cheap. Get the belts done and you've got a well sorted 197 now.

My rear window has a lot of tiny scratches; i am guessing the previous owner used a brillo pad to clean it. I have tried using an aggressive cutting polish with a DAS 6 and there's little improvement.

Nice looking car mate, no disrespect to the Fiesta ST, great car but looks so boring. I would have opted for the 200T like you have. Best colour too :)

Seen your car outside Bristol Street Motors this morning, if you are on here and work at UK fuels PM me.

Just read this from start to finish; great diary and so many nice upgrades you have done for the car. Remember seeing it at the RenaultSport day at Oulton back in August and it looked so clean.

I bought these ones for my car and they don't fit... http://www.cazanracing.co.uk/powerflex--exhaust-hangers---pair-106507-p.asp

I don't see the point in not putting the premium fuel in; its recommended by the manufacturer to get the best from the engine. Renault don't make money for stating this in the handbook and on the fuel filler cap...... its an extra 10p a litre which is hardly breaking the bank IMO.

He's no David Bailey is he the bloke selling the Focus...

That's a lush 182.

I usually order from cleanyourcar or the autofinesse official website; never had any issues from either.

shame to see your 182 end up like that; Supra is stunning !!! Great turnaround on the Monaco 172...
