Lovely. If you like it now, wait till you map it and do other little bits, you'll love it then. You may have seen mine at the Be tappd day too, I've been to every RR day so far Lol.
Nonsense, my commute is a killer for MPG and even I get 22 - 23mpg without even trying.
Might get it serviced?
Oh don't bother, not like it's part of essential maintenance or anything, just do another 24k on the same oil, see what happens.
Lovely that. Definitely keep the black wheels, as you say white looks too plain with silver, it's the same with the Focus.
Do these crackle a bit with a decat etc?
There must be loads of people sitting there in winter waiting for their windows to demist, not realising it takes seconds with the AC on.
I wouldn't have a car without it again.
Paint is more expensive, expect £2k+ for a decent proper strip down colour change, but will look amazing if done properly.
Wrapping is a lot cheaper, but even the best of gloss wraps still just look like a shite paint job no matter what you do.
Noticed with this hot weather that my aircon in my Focus is a bit weak too, must be a Ford thing. Should really get it regassed but I can't be fucked when the suns going to disappear from Scotland in a week anyway.
Looks like it's just the paint that's cracked from what I can tell in the pic. Easy enough for a bodyshop to sort, a new bumper is not necessary and will come unpainted from Renault anyway.
Expect £200 for a decent job, could be a little more could be a little less, find somewhere that you know...
Now I've actually bothered to read, if you're actually going to change, out of those two get the 172. The MK3 isn't worth the extra cash for the very little performance gain over your 1.2 and probably no extra toys either.
