yeah thought that might be the case for the surround. Basically was looking to get a single-pipe quiet-ish backbox, slash cut to the bumper. Likely to be expensive?

Rang round a few places for my mate's 182 about the aux job, a couple of places said that they won't change the alternator pulley. Question is, the aux kit comprises of idler pulley, belt and tensioner. Is the alternator pulley a separate part? And if so what does it do and why is it a b*tch...

If I were to go to Prospeed for a new backbox, would they cut the bumper to fit the tailpipe? Quite fancy a visible tailpipe for my 172. Also, what range of prices would I be looking at for a new backbox? Cheers

Any pics of 172's with 10 or 15mm spacers? Still undecided, although I'm thinking more no than yes at the mo!

The splitter was off the following car http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330342259876&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123 2002 ph2 Megane Fitted it by jacking car up one side at a time, started in the middle by offering splitter up to the bumper, drilling 2mm pilot holes through...

thing is, they basically are already the same curve as the clios bumper, so a doddle to fit too! Very pleased! I think I even prefer it to the carbon KTec ones

Fitted a small megane splitter which I got off ebay for £8. A doddle to fit, looks much better than the larger 307 splitter I had on it previously. If anyone's after a small megane splitter I'd highly recommend tapping 'megane breaking' into ebay and messaging each asnd every seller asking for...

Debating whether or not I need spacers. Have a look below - running standard 195 tyres with 182 cup pack alloys, on eibach sportlines. Car is a 172. Do I need spacers? :) If so, what size?

Aye, was thinking anything between £150 - £300, but what garages in S Wales / Bristol can be recommended?

Plan to have my aux belts done at AP Developments shortly, but my mate who has a 182 needs his done sharpish... Any recommendations for any places in South Wales or Bristol area that can change the aux belt, pulley and tensioner? Asked around a few local garages but they aint got a clue how...

Good question, also would like to know of garages with experience

172 owners - I'm running the standard 195 tyres with 182 cup pack alloys lowered on Eibach sportlines. Can anyone recommend me a spacer size for them? I assume universals are a no no so hubcentric appear to be the way to go. But would 15mm be too much? Hmm...

No one running spacers on a 172? :(

Hi Pic request - want to see any 172's or 182's that have had spacers fitted to the original 16" wheels! Please also state what size spacers! Thinking of spacers for my 172 w/182 wheels but dont know if theyll be a bit OTT so wanted to see some pics! Ta!

I can vouch for the above - they really are great mats, last ages, fit great and look awesome!

Any particular recommendations for somewhere in South Wales to get it done?

So does anyone actually use spacers on a 172 if they're running 16" wheels? I'm assuming that 10mm is no good as thy would be universal, I don't want the wheel wobbling or worse still falling off so safety is my concern!

Hi guys Know spacers have been done to death and I've had a good search but wanted some opinions. I have a 172 RS Clio running the standard 195 tyres with 182 cup pack alloy wheels. I'm lowered on Eibach Sportlines. I'd like to bring the front wheels out as they sit slightly into the arches...

Cheers man, thats what I was looking to do. Look forward to seeing a pic.

Nah man, I'm rubbish at photoshop and wanted to see the real thing

...More specifically does anyone have any pics of a standard black 172/182 with standard silver bullets only with the lettering coloured black? Thinking of doing it myself but want to see what it'll look like first! Ta!

is this crap good to use for lacquering? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-x-Carplan-Clear-Lacquer-Aerosol-Car-Spray-Paint-400ml_W0QQitemZ230342193561QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Body_Shop_Supplies_Paint?hash=item35a176f199&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A15|66%3A2|39%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50

Looking to paint the lettering on 2.0 16v bullets in black for a bit o' contrast. Plan to use a small modelling brush to do 'em. Any idea what paint I need to get and whether I need to lacquer over the top? Guide/weblinks would be good :)

After fitting a larger 307 splitter and taking it off after three days (thought it looked too big and the split in the middle was annoying) I tracked down a small meggy splitter off a ph2 (I think) .....incredibly easy to fit - pretty much already fits the contour of the 172 bumper, just had to...

Poorboys sealant, R22 Carnauba wax...fantastic and easy...cleanyourcar.co.uk ;)

Hi guys Have a black 172 on 182 cup pack alloys, lowered and shortly to fit a small meggy splitter. Clear repeaters. So...what colour do you think I should paint my calipers? Any pics of black 172's/182's with painted calipers? Also, any idea of the best way to get rid of rust spots on the...

Try the garage next to Jacksons, on Pontygwindy Road in Caerphilly, they did mine - top notch.

Got exactly the same problem, PAS fluid etc fine, whiny upon revving and quiet when idle. really irritating! bought an aux belt kit from Ktec (£140 inc post), having it fitted thursday, will let you know how i get on!

Every day see a lovely Monaco Blue 172 and a silver 172 or 182 on the main road from Pontypridd to Porth, anyone on here?

Hi all Currently have crystal black side repeaters on the car, thinking of going for smoked or clear repeaters. Car is a black 172, anyone have any pics of smoked and clear repeaters on a black Clio? What do ya reckon would look the best>? Cheers
