yeah safety my arse. Why not outside the entrance to a playing field or school? Its totally scandalous and makes my blood boil. A Mate of mine at work got done doing 49 in a 40, not sure what his indcated speed was but I think 172 are pretty close to indicated speed arent they?

if you get pedal covers just make sure you bolt or rivet them through the original pedal. Clamp ons are well dodgy!

fcuk running in mate give it a thrash. I did that with mine and it only just now starting to open up a bit and sounding really rorpy (is that a word?) with 2.5k on the clock.

yeah might as well spend less cash and get some juicy coilovers and it would be better than a standard cup (which is not that much different to a 172 anyway)

*dribbles*

1k more for leather trim and abs.....

Im ordering two

I can feel a big difference running a standard air filter. Bring on the autumn.

Its the weather m8 mines the same at the moment. Wouldnt be too embarassed about an elise on your bumper either

looks tidy m8. Not sure Id want to be without an airbag in my 172 tho.

If your spending cash on the 1.2 for insurance reasons or whatever why not buy a nice bodykit and make it look a bit more individual? I dont understand what the point is in making a 172 replica (although that silver one was nice someone put on the site with the 17s on). Apart from the interior...

yeah I got one of those pioneer ones. Only cheap but really nice unit, good eqs and its got two pre outs.

thats the main reason you shouldnt drink and drive m8. You might spill some on the seats!

lol I just ordered one of the Clio ones off ebay. Oh well.

fuses are on the passanger side m8. Open the passanger door and they are in a little panel against the side of the dash. Aircon fuses are near the bottom.

you still should have scratched her eyes out.

youve made afine choice m8. But dont get a black one theyre a f**ker to keep clean!!

my 172 had about a thimble of fuel. First thing I did in it was go to asda, fill up and thrash it (in that order)

not sure what the year of your car is m8 but on the new ones they are on the passenger side of the dasboard. You need to stand outside the car and open the passenger door and they are behind a flap there. The aircon ones are near the bottom (I know this cos mine blew!)

lol the 172 vs cup is always a good one. At the end of the day its down to choice. Personally I think the 172 is a better all round package and the sup is for you if its purely speed and driving your bothered about. I chose the 172 cos ABS, alcantara trim and aircon for the £1000 ish difference...

keep the faith m8 another lump should turn up :)

wouldnt bother with main dealers. I looked EVERYWHERE for the best deal and the best on the road price I got was 12,500 (watch out for motorpoint as they add about £500 to their prices including a PDI fee!! Anyway I got mine from thecarpeople.co.uk but they are in wakefield miles away from...

those golfs are LHD import jobbies, theres a guy near me has one. They do look really nice in the metal. Dont have any info on rapidness of the standard one tho.

Usual BS you get from these places! It drives me mad. Sometimes they just say stuff to make themselves look knowlegable. Unicar in Leeds and RAM audio in wakefield are both places that do this EVERY time you go in. If anyone knows of a place that you can go that doesnt BS you all the time let me...

Im up for it if its at well lane, wouldnt mind seeing if Ive got a good un or not

I would go alpine if I were you. Ive got a pioneer mp3 one mainly down to buget, its actually a really nice player and sounds well.

yeah mg metro,mg maestro, Escort RS turbos (old shape ones) just think they are cack, Not a fan of the new MG range either, purely cos rover have wasted a perfect opportunity to produce a range of truly sporting motors by just fitting spoilers to rovers and giving them a paint job.

PS that silver clio is our lasses mums car. She was well impressed at the size of my engine when she popped round today...oooer.
