Ooops, sorry I was away drinking most the weekend.;) http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1074029791__Magnex_06.jpg

I gave the F1s a few hundred miles before I started to push. Im running 33 in the front 31 in the rears.

No wonder these things pop out when using the headlamp washers. Ive just put a new ball in and removing it from the new unit can be done by hand with a little twist!!!

Yes it still has the trip computer. You may also gain cruise control if the car is new enough.

How much do students get these days? :o

Very nice write up.

Apparently it uses the same brake light as the 172 one, so that should save you a few quid. :D

JillyB has the double spoiler on her Mk2 172. I cant find any pictures but Im sure shell pop up later and post one. Im liking the Mk2 V6 one at the moment.

Yes, 172 brake light as opposed to the chunky cup one.

Is that because your tints are too dark or because you have a tea tray rear wing in the way? :p

Its worth taking a look at the Mk2 V6 spoiler too. Heres one on Paul172s car. http://www.cliosport.net/gallery/clio172/2082-4.jpg

Wider rear arches and a showing exhaust exit would have been nice but other than that I think it looks great. They do look very impossing in the rear view mirror. I think Renault obviously designed it more for people with good taste. :o;)

Im 27, 3 points (3 pending :() Full NCB, a total loss in 99 (wont be counted this year) the car is garaged and I paid £1042 last year. This year Im looking at around £700, or closer to £900 if Im on 6 points.

Is that like a monkey only more? :p

Ive just got a Gold account. Looking at it you have to take it on finance anyway which bumps it up quite a lot more, but still a little bellow RRP.

I wonder if I could get more off for banking with them!

Okay mate. Im looking forward to them all going head to head on the strip. Should be fun. :D

172s dont hit 92 in 3rd. More like 89mph on the limiter. if they did Id not have to shift to 4th before the end of the 1/4 mile. lol

Seriously though, for what is just a way to get a little more life out of the old dog until the new Clio comes out, increasing the wheelsbase isnt going to be a small change. Surely they would require changes to body pannels too? Or maybe they just widened the shut lines a few mm here and...

I wonder how they have managed to extend the wheelbase?

What about a Ford Focus, surely thats not a focused car? :p

Part number was: 7701207168 According to Renault Birmingham there are only 2 left in the country, one of which is going to be mine Saturday morning.

Have you got the part number for the whole unit, Ill give them a call and pick one up in the morning? I think Ill try popping a new ball in first, rather than waste an hour of my life in the service reception. Its usually not too bad, but they cant have Kilroy on now.

Rarely does a month go by where the little Clio has no reason to go the dealers and this month is no exception. :@ On my drive to work this morning I noticed my left headlamp washer was in fact doing a very good job of cleaning the car in front of me. Obviously Ive lost my ball. I know...

He seems to shift a lot of the little buggers though as there are loads around Cannock. The Mk2 he has isnt too bad, and there is also a red one which is fully colour coded which looks pretty good.

I dont think they have a website, but the place they share premises with do. These guys are next door, I expect its extreme who mods there Clios. http://www.welcomecars.co.uk/welcomecar.htmhttp://www.welcomecars.co.uk/welcomecar.htm I drive past it every day.

Where are they in Cannock?

Ill chip in. I had a GTi-6 for a while, but had to sell to make way for a company car. If they were still available today Id have had one over the 172. Engine wise it was impressive and the 6 speed box meant the ratios were very close, but it was the chassis that was its strongest point...

Im with Norwich Union through the AA. I got charged £25 admin fee for new paperwork when I had my exhaust fitted.
