Insurance for me is £700, f/c protected & all that shizz. :approve:

If your only going to use it at weekends it won't sting you as much as you think it might. I use mine mainly on weekends & sometimes after work. Petrol is one of the main expenses with one, you can get high 20's to the gallon though. Servicing isn't overly expensive, apart from if it needed a...

The rim of the steering wheel on the mk1 172 & the mk1 vee is grey neoprine. See here

Haz, personally I think you should save up & buy the ctr if it's what you really want. I would forget about modding the 1.2 & leave it as it is. I'd stop spunking money out on whatever mods seem a good idea at he time.

Your right, just that some put 2.0 badges on non 2.0's etc.

I'm not keen on the wheels in white tbh, I think the spokes are too wide.

are they 2.0 badges on it ??

That looks good that.

Leave it in - tell them not to take it off & throw it away though !

Just a late registered 172 which has been written off tbh. No way on earth i'd touch it at all.

^ I'm pretty sure they too will be illegal.

I've never understood that anyway, drums look so sh*te !! He's done them black now :) GSE - you'll have to get all of the bits re sprayed as no 172 came in gold.

Much better now.

I've bagged them, once they're done etc.

They Probably do. I've never had any probs (touch wood)

Not for me.

I really wouldn't try to make a 172 replica, to me it's a complete waste of cash. Personally i'd save up (put a bit away each week etc) till I had the money to be able to do some nice mods - like Kris has just said. I'd go with subtle bits that you can remove from it when you come to sell up...

Looks like a great meet :approve:

172boost - I bet after you drive it you'll want one:) Take it for a spin up your local high street & watch every one look at it open mouthed, some may even take pics of it (I still get that) They're such an asw car ;)

That quote of £780.00 is a lot, I was getting quotes of around £400.00 all in, that was a few years ago though.

Do you have a better pic ?? Maybe one side on. Can you take a pic of your actual car ??

Love it, it looks great ! I bet it's rapid too:approve:

Lol !!

Maybe they are going to auction it. How old was it ?

Are you asking if it's possible to fit a 172/182 engine into a 1.2 clio ??

Tbh there is no reason why a cup should cost more than an identical ff 172, the cup cost about 3k less new anyway. If anything the prices of cups are about the same, or in some cases less than the ff 172.

It's wheel clamped.

All i've heard is that it's rubbsh. I'd forget saving weight in a 1.2 imo it's probably not worth it, get a bigger engined car.

Just read some of that, I thought Matt broke it ?? I could have sworn that a while back he said it was no more.

The best sleeper ever I think !!!
