Same thing happened to me buddy, you won't get one on a Sunday anywhere period. You can't just use a long bolt either it has to be a new one or do what I did and ring Clio spares tomorrow and buy the bolt with the alloy wishbone thing for 15 quid,

The bolt is about £13 from Renault

Is it law that you have to declare that a car is a cat c or d?? Surely many people own these cars without even knowing the history

Anyone going with black turinis that would maybe like to swap for my White turinis???

yep that was me! its a 172 cup

Yes you would, think you would be better getting it fixed and selling privately on pistonheads then having a bucket full of cash to buy the 182 you want or if you want something very similar but quicker get a 172 cup and spend the rest on mods

If you earn £2k every 4 weeks.... 1, why are you driving a heap of sh1t Clio 2, dreaming of owning a 172 cup when you could buy the mintest one after 8 weeks Stop talking utter sh1te lad

I would go for the one that has proof or receipt of a cambelt change been done.

Be careful until you get used to the extra 10bhp increase. The roads are like sheet ice at the moment

No

I would say 90% of 172 cups being broken for parts already have a knackered front bumper/bonnet due to a crash, I have seen a few rear end crashed cups and even one being broken due to a cambelt snapped however as someone has already said just keep ya eye out on eBay and ring cliospares weekly

Rear arches will definately have some rust somewhere hiding

The simple answer is yes, it will fit across the back seats just. But only the tv it won't fit in a box but a 42 inch will

Not sure how Renault can justify charging £50 a side plus vat for a thin piece of plastic

You don't need to take the middle bolt out just leave it, don't bash things with a hammer ffs as the battery tray cracks really easily

Sell privately then you will be able to be as cheeky as you want at the dealers to barter down the price of the car you want If you part ex you have no bartering power what so ever. Fact

Are you actually gutted??? :rolleyes: NO YOUR NOT!!! LOL

Anyone??? :,0(

will be having a look at the antiroll bar at the weekend cheers beef-mc

Yeah GSV2120 but its from a motor factors not renault

agreed, the clio has much better build quality and feels a far safer place to be, but I dont care what anyone says, a 106 gti with a about £1000 spent on the engine..... phs3 newman cams etc would rape any rs clio

funny how prices for good 106 gtis are 3 times what they are for the saxo vts given that they are essentially the same car

found in the boot of my car previous owner doesnt know what it is for either, box says steering and suspension component, looks like a rubber mount with a long bolt going through it, does anyone recognise it and know where it goes on a 172???

Agreed 172 cup to a 182 cup is a step backwards in performance

I would just like to point out one fact 7 years ago a brand new 172ff cost £2.5k more than a 172 cup due to the extra toys etc today in the current second hand car Market a 172 cup is worth more than the 172 FF Wonder if the same will happen for the 182, 197 and 200?????

Is this thread a joke? It's looks exactly the same as standard 2 minutes with a rag and some autoglym bumper care will make the grille look like new painting a black grill .........black???? Some of u have too much spare time and need to get out more!!!

My 172 cup is missing the front splitter and I have noticed that when parking the car in many car parks that the front bumper will only just clear over some kerb stones, if the splitter was present it would constantly be ripped off if accidently parked over a kerb, which if you look most cars...

Anyone know??

know the cup has slightly wider front track so are all 172 lower balljoints the same length??? James

If the Williams had no rust on the rear arches, bonnet and boot then I would keep that for def
