Please could some photoshop genius sort these pics out with a meggy splitter and lowered 30mm (currently lowered 15mm rear 25mm front). And if your feeling extra special, could you whack some trophy wheels on it too!
Cheers in advance. I really need to invest in photoshop and get doing these...
It just flicked off this morning. Thought my lights were goosed, but the xenons were still on, so it's the bulb in behind the speedo.
Where can I get a replacement bulb and how easy is it to take the dash apart to replace it lol
I've noticed recently how crap standard brakes are on the 172. I don't feel safe when it's wet to be honest!! I need to upgrade them. Any recommendations. I don't really want to spend a grand, so prob 4-500 quid max!!
cheers
Thinking about getting the 172 mapped soon! Is it worth it? I've got a BMC CDA with a caf and a GDI exhaust. I would probably get a decat a before the remap as well!! do they make much difference?
Cheers

I need an of-the-shelf laptop for max of around 360 quid. Any recommendations?
Only need it for internet usage, storing songs and pics, and creating word and powerpoint documents.
So need around 60GB hard-drive with decent memory (min of 512MB) and processor (1.5GHz plus). Preferably windows...

Been thinking about getting rid of the 172 for the last few weeks! I went to london this weekend so haven't driven it since thursday Just took it out down some quiet roads and booted it, wow. It sounds amazing with the windows down (I have a GDI cat back systems, removed acoustic valve and bmc...
I've got an 03 reg 172 and it hasn't got cruise control, wondering if I could get it sorted? I assume renault will want about 3 grand for it though lol.
Sorting new wheels out soon, anthracite turinis. Just wondering what colour to paint the calipers. My car is flame red. I doubt they do flame red caliper paint.
Getting these in 17" in a couple of weeks:

I now need 4 tyres. Budget of 200-250 quid. Any suggestions, and any websites?
Is it easy to fit tyres? Can't say I've done it before lol
Got the day off on monday, so I'm hoping its gonna be dry so I can PC my car. I've just bought some SSR 2.5 and dodo juice purple haze. I've not used wax before, so any chance someone can give me an insight. Don't mean to sound a numpty but still pretty new to all this. Also does this order...

I know they are specified for a mini, but the offset is similar to a 172 and the pcd is 4x100. Would they go straight on?
cheers
Need some new wheels, currently got some kak 17" ones. Want some anthracite turinis but can't decide on 16's or 17's. Obviously 17's look better, but 16's are cheaper, will have slightly better handling and ride quality.
Opinions?
It's annoying me now, the left is pointing too high, and the right one is pointing too low. Is there anyway simple way to alter this so they are at a similar height. The left looks a lot brighter as a result of this.
cheers
I bought a poorboys kit with SSR 1, 2, 2.5 and 3 off ebay about 6 weeks ago but it never turned up :( so I'm just gonna get poorboys 2.5 for now to help remove some of the swirls. Where's the cheapest place to get it??
Cheers
Wondering if theres anyone on here who has access to a vinyl cutter. I want to get Renault Sport down the side skirt, similar to that of the "TROPHY" on the trophy, and "PH-QUICK" on the ph-1 side skirts. And also want a small version for the front of my bonnet.
Nipping to halfords this aft to pick up a few cleaning products. Can anyone recommend some? I already have autoglym SRP. Need something abrasive to help get rid of the swirls. Tried scratch x by hand but seems impossible to get rid of the swirls. Can I use scratch x using a porter cable??
