Had them on my prev 172. If you look closely during the day, you can see the blue, but when turned on they just look very white. I'll take pics after I've done one side. b*****d to fit, f**king air-con!

I love it, fitted silvervisions, pro-line's, Alpine Ipod stereo, ITG panel filter, ferodo brake package so far. Possibly Trophy alloys on the way. Said I wasn't gonna spend much on this one:quiet:

Fitting my bluevisions tonight, skinned knuckles FTW

You got 8 bottles? I only got 4:(

I'd have splitter, mirror covers and rear bumper inserts.

Bought it privately. I'd never buy from a dealer, easy enough car to check over yourself, or pay Dekra £150 to do a mechanical check before buying, and still cheaper than a dealer. Drive a few, the 182 probably had knackered engine/box mounts, makes the gear shift feel very baggy and loose...

Massively over priced!!! This cost me 5650 in Jan, 43k miles, mint condition.

Fitted my new brakes yesterday, from yozza. Haven't got round to doing the hoses yet (ran out of time), but 2 questions: 1-Are they easy to fit, or is it worth paying somone? 2-Any point in fitting braided hoses to the rear brakes, as they do bugger all braking? Cheers Warren

Most run crap when cold, due to the fuelling map to get through emissions.

You lucky b******s. I've got 5yr no claims, one accident, no points, garaged, and I'm 27. I pay over £800. Birmingham sucks.

No offence mate, but your not exactly impartial! The 197 is more capable, but not more entertaining. Even the Renaultsport said that it's unfair to compare the 197 to the Trophy, it was a run-out model made using exotic suspension. 197 best hot hatch ever? How? I'd easily put the 205 gti and the...

You bought a Trophy?

If very heavy braking, and only on heavy braking, ABS. If not, warped disc?

Nope, Trophy spoiler is the vee spoiler, larger than the cup version, more angle as well.

5.5k should get you a minter, paid just a few dollar over that for mine a month ago.

http://www.motordirect.co.uk/ Anyone used, or had experience of these guys? Really good quote for the girlfriend, but I'm always a bit nervous of using insurers I don't know much about. Cheers Warren

Noooo! The 182 cup wheels is smaller and with a narrower rim, feels much nicer to use.

Doesn't he have a massive collection of beemers?

Was that the car that the guy spent a fortune on modding with BMW parts?

No spare wheel with 182. As said, MOT won't pick up accident damage etc. At the very least take someone with you with some mechanical knowledge to check the car out. Or print the buyers guide and take that with you, do some checks yourself.

I'd always get a Dekra/AA mechanical check done if you don't know much about the car. Costs £150, but could easily save you more than that if the cars a dud, or poorly repaired accident damage etc.

Mk5 GTI is pretty much same speed as 1*2 up to silly speeds. A 225/230 meg will slowly pull away.

Is that your dad holding the mike!?!;) Local dentist interviews midget terrorist.

Ph-uck off you gaylord!! Stick your moonstone up your arse!:rasp:

One on it's way from some guy off here, £99 delivered!

Gave the 172 it's first decent clean

In the upper car park, reg ended with ZZZ, looked uber clean.

Love the way you've only cleaned the bits of the car that you had to!

Loose brake pedal switch, fairly common. Not sure on cost, mine was a warranty job.

Depends on the seller. Guy I know in Liverpool owns a clothing store. The guy in china that produces trainers for Nike is given a serial code for say 500 pairs of trainers. But, instead he makes up 1000 pairs on the same serial code, 500 go to Nike and the other 500 go out the back door. Exactly...
