Does look good have you thought about colour coding it though? Im doing mine got the paint ready make it look more subtle and part of the car and you dont have to tell the insurance then you can get away with it, they put 80 quid on my policy for it last year so i took it off before i renewed!

Need to clean up my steering wheel always clean the plastic centre bit but the leather around the wheel that you hold ive never touched as i didnt want to make it slippery. Now it looks really grubby. What product do i use and how do i clean it up and get it looking mint?

Whats the best way on cleaning external crevices like between panels etc? Think i need to buy a small brush? Whats the best one?

Ah right! cheers! In the manual it shows it in between the coolant and power steering reservoirs! So the manual is completely useless! Thanks anyway!

I couldn't get mine off either! Gave up in the end! :-)

Its not where it shows it is in the picture in the manual??? I got a 172 by the way.

Look better but you'll prefer caning it with 16's so jus keep both sets your 16's for when you go for a drive and your 17's for the rest of the time. I agree with above i dont know where the limit is with my 17's they jus seem to go if you push it too hard and i end up sideways! I cant have four...

Do i need to have it reset by renault?

Is there normally a gasket between manifold and cat on a standard 172? Had my cat put back on today and there was no gasket between my manifold and de-cat pipe just sealant.

The lumbar support on my drivers seat broke on weekend when the car was being driven, i accellerated hard and the extra pressure on the seat made the cable inside go ping! Now my seats got no support at the bottom of the back. Is this a common fault? Anyone else had this problem? Ive been...

Passed you in a black 172 jealous of how much of a beast your car looked compared to mine!

They're very nice how did you get them so cheap?

Has anyone got non standard seats here? Do all seats fit the clio or do you have to get certain ones? What do you have and how much did they cost?

Carbon under street lights.... mmmmmm!!!! You'll know what i mean when u get it fitted! ;-)

I have similar ones on my car and i fancy they just make it look chavvy. Im going to have totally plain ones made soon instead.
