Looks pretty good! Just as I was thinking I was just going to take the fogs out and remove the wheel arch liners...but these look neat!
Not so sure on having to remove cannisters and avoustic valves though.
Well i'm currently on sport suspension so anything else must be an "upgrade" I might consider B14's if the price was right.
I just think it would be silly to spend loads of cash on whats essentially a get me to work car/toy.
Im not racing so as long as its not too rolly I'll be happy :)...
I've made a list of all the parts I want now I've devided to go a little more fast road/track oriented

Braided lines
AP Coilovers

Corbeau Clubsport or Sparco sprint or Bimarco (driver only)
Uprated engine mounts (advice?)

That or I get a Mii like my missus and have the 172 as track only..
Now you said that I did notice the gearbox didnt feel quite as smooth before it happened.
Thats another bit of experience for the future and one of my checkpoints I will be adding onto my "long journey checks"
I've whacked it straight into the closest garage. Again something im not comfortable with doing but the shitty Clio always decides to break when im up at work!
I don't think the Clio likes me to be honest because when it breaks its always gay little oarts that I can't add performance with...
So im driving along snd I can start hearing a clicking noise when I turn thr wheel right. Investigated and it looks as though the rubber joint has perished on the engine side. Is this a new driveshaft required or will a garage be able to replace the rubber and grease etc?
Good news!
