Ok, this is the month to sort out the problems that's bothering me with the Cup. Already got my small dent in the rear quarterpanel taken out for a bargain £20, so now onto the internals; Problem One For a while now my Cup, whilst idle, and I presume moving, is making a light 'knocking'...

£1087 is pretty damn cheap for the work involved there. I wouldn't touch that with a bargepole, and would have told the insurance a write-off in most cases. Anyway, glad you got it sorted mate, thankfully taxi drivers up here are pretty decent guys!

Clearly, you live in the ghetto.

I keep my insurance details, A fuel can with about £3's worth of fuel in it just incase, pen/paper, MOT pass certificate (Bobby's up here are funny about aftermarket exhausts), and gonna buy a disposable camera, as that sounds like a pretty damn good idea.

If you still have a warranty, there was a good chance you would have got one for nothing brand new from the stealers.

Chances are you're more likely a reply if you just name the parts, I'm sure a few of us can say for certain wether bits will fit.

Ask someone with a Liquid for their paintcode which is located on a peice of metal inside the passenger door. Take it down to a local bodyshop and ask for a price. Easy. How do you think we re-spray wings etc when a liquid yellows gets damaged? ;)

...and? Where's the rest of the pics? We've all seen the lutecia badge before, we want to see your car.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ;) I've always wondered, but never got round to asking. 5 stars for this thread.

Oh God please don't start with that. I'm sure just as many 172's have crashed with ABS, along with the thousands of other cars out there without ABS. It's how you drive the car that really counts.

Mine is exactly the same right now, and to answer your question; an arm and a leg and a damn good mortgage! Seriously though, about £11

LOUD NOISES

Windscreen washer fluid? edit: One of your hoses there looks like it's been taped up. Maybe it's leaked from that.

Haha, it even has a little sad face!

All you've considered minus the mohave kit and changing the lights. If you're judging your decision on the kit based off the K-Tec website, then have a closer look. It's been heavily photoshopped (Colouring/ 'Rear Arches') and I'm yet to see a Clio on here with it, that looks half decent.

Don't get a new one yet. Get a chunky champagne cork, run a bit of wire through it and pop it under to support the beam. Had my one on months now.

The Renault disks are awful IMO. It's almost like they paint a metal finish over the top, which just flakes off. My dad got me some front discs, and pads for trade price (£50) from somewhere local and they're the best I've used yet.

Go for it! You know the roads up here are awesome, and a damn shame the last Inverness meet got cancelled!

My mates one actually looked pretty good on his silver 172, shame about it rusting easily.

You're talking a grand for the decent kit, on top of that a paint-job (£500-600), wheel spacers (£30 each?), 17" alloys (£££), spoiler (ebay - £130), twin custom exhaust (£300 - £400), plus all the little other things such as megane style indicators, xenons, washers, badges, fog lights...

I recognised that kit straight away, like Chrisjk did. Shame he was lied to, but it's not the first time I've heard 'there's only x of them in the country,' only to find out they're as common as the original bumpers. Out of curiosity, how much did he pay for the lot?

As far as I'm aware it won't work over here. The lack of MMS is also a big put-off, but I still intend on getting one.

How did you get the Renault Sport logo on the seats?

haha, my mates 172 had his grille cut out by the previous owner to fit one of these. Was annoying as hell having to buy another one when putting it back to standard for insurance purposes.

A view over Loch Ness with a layer of low clouds covering the water. (This was taken with the 'RockNess' concert going on just below! It was taken with my phone camera, and I was KICKING myself for not bringing the Canon. The thickness of the fog at that level;

The Green Goblin; Got the Cup when I was 20.

Adding my Mum and Dad increased my premium with Direct Line (they've both been driving over 25yrs, no points etc), so always check with and without!

I'm about £250 a month, including insurance. I'm only 21! What's going on with your crazy monthly price?! A Corsa, £150 a month?! Seirously mate, get a 1.2 Clio instead. My Dynamique was £100 a month, £60 insurance.

With 3 years no claims, you should be laughing. I had none, and still have none, and mine is cheap (Direct Line). Luckily, I'm a month aaway from being insured to drive any car I want (through my Dad's business insurance), so I won't ever need to worry about insurance quotes again, nor...
