was up at the scrapies and found a clio 3 so got the interior light as its a bit brighter with 3 bulbs rather than 1! Clio3... standard..

my mate turned up in my old one today for a chin wag, since I sold it its had a front mount intercooler and K-Tec cat back fitted, the exhaust sounds awesome, driving about town its properly quiet you can hardly hear it unless you tickle the snail, on boost it sounds brilliant though you can...

haha, na im in Scotland still, I just nip to Germany for my top speed runs!

not sure if my street looking like Germany is a good thing or not lol!

I had a 172 that wasn't a money pit, when it was 3yrs old!!!

this is a massive upgrade! 172's were great back in the day but these days they are passed it.

It was for me the best one to get, as it ment I could get a 2011 TCE with all the modern Bluetooth handsfree, music streaming etc where if I went for another GT I would have been limited to an older one so for me this was worth the premium over a GT which are still holding massive cash anyway!

I love the hate!! its still got the stripes and the blue wheels and they are staying!!!

remind me never to leave my car at your specialist! lol

Chic's car is always broken, I feel sorry for Fred!, he put me on the phone to him once when it was broken too must have you on speeddial

I would have thought a franchise with Renault is something worth a lot of cash so it would be very easy for Renault UK to have the dealers by the balls, I got my current Twingo from a Toyota dealership and the level of service, and standards is just night and day compared to Renault

Arnold Clark Stirling told me that my warranty should be void as it had been on track, but as a goodwill gesture they wouldn't pass the information onto Renault. There was a poster beside a 200 in the dealership saying "a real track animal" on it, my car had a LAP timer ffs!!! after weeks of...

had it on the autobahn lastnight, still on standard software too! went well!

love it! awesome little cars, never had the pleasure of driving one either wish my twingo got this much love haha

Pipercross pannel filter fitted today turbo makes a much louder whistle on spool up now and the car feels much better as these always do with a better filter Ordered Bilstein B14 coilovers :)

DCI pros... loads of torque amazing mpg cheap road tax reliable cons... cost a lot if it goes wrong

sure someone mentioned diesels were murder for new drivers to insure, this was a while back though!

ph2 started 2001 Y plate, was facelifted around 2004 53 plate, got different wheels (15" version of 172 wheels) different front bumper with a different lower grill and fog lights bulge out a bit, different upper grill, grey back headlights, colourcoded rear spoiler and different interior...

I miss the pre 2006/07 meets when we used to meet up somewhere and just go a mad blast braking every traffic law possible!

your a clown!

172 on sportlines and 172 cup dampers

seeing this thread being bumped is like seeing pictures of an ex girlfriend! :cry:

gave it a quick wash today was fitting new clean plates from fancy plates, shame we cant drive about without front plates as it looks good!

your brave, 5 months owning a 2003 172 in 2013 was quite enough for me!!!

that engine plus manual box in a twingo would be mint.

my mapped 100 if you gave it death thru the gears by the time you were flat out in 4th you would get a loss of power and a warning light as the fuel pump couldn't hold pressure, lift off for 2 seconds and back on again to let it catch up and it was fine

imo one of these at stage 2 is the better option over a 133, if your not into modifying then 133 all day long but if you don't mind modifying then these are awesome, my old one with an RS Tuner map at 119hp 145lb/ft would pull on 133's in a straight line and with sticky rubber and AP coilovers...

the guy who owns it, Mark, runs a mapped DCi80. few of my mates are running cars mapped by them, 420hp Focus RS, few mapped Focus ST's and a stage 2 Leon TDI170
