thanks mate :)
matt @ blacksheep flocking did all my flocking he's a top bloke!!
cheers mate :) must admit the exhaust came on the car and its not something i would of chosen if i was buying one for it but it is just the right amount of noise for me, although the twin pipes have grown on me a little :) i did buy a ktec stealth cat back which looked great but was silly loud...

Car looks great mate! Just a quick question see you have the pms shifter what's it like rattle/noise wise? Want one for mine but I use it to commute 50 miles a day and worried if it rattles it will drive me mad lol

Spotted a phase 1 exclusive this morning in totnes on way to work I was in the phase 2 flamer in front of you :p seen your car around my way a few times looks really nice wondered if it was anyone on here??
ooh this is intresting as really wanted to know this thinking of rs tuner mapping both our 172's but worried it will lock out other diagnostic tools as it would be annoying if i get a fault as i work in a garage with decent diagnostic tool and wouldnt be able to use them?
so to clarify if you...
been a while since i updated this so thought id sort that :)
been busy just enjoying the car and taking it to shows :)

id go genuine! bought a pattern part bonnet for a previous 206 i had it was thin as hell and the front dented in first time i shut the bonnet! ended up binning it and bought genuine
not sure what the 182 one is like but i have a milltek with centre and rear silencer on my 172 and it sounds great. is noticably sportier tone than my other halfs 172 which has a standard exhaust but not as loud as some of the systems out there which is perfect for me as i leave for work at 6am...
need a new tdc sensor and loom for the other halfs 172 phase 2 on an 02 plate are these and the 182 ones all the same?
8200647554 & 8200673202 are the part numbers i found listed for a 182 are these the same ones i need??
cheers
oh no that sucks after you have looked after it so well :( at least you have found a new one for it though so not all bad!
iv seen a few clios do this now so maybe a commonish problem is there anything that can be done to prevent this?
my girlfriends 02 plate phase 2 has had a minor problem for a while now and has started to get worse thought id pop up a quick question on here before i get more involved in it :)
car always starts lovely first thing in the morning
basically very periodically the car would not start when warm...
:( ok mate thanks. should be ok to re-use i would of thought im just that kinda person that if i take stuff off always like to use new seals/gaskets where possible :/
cheers mate :) havnty ordered it yet im unsure at the moment as thinking about more engine mods later down the line and dont want the issue of the ecu being locked to the rs tuner :/
