outline of the nurburgring, Germany - ultimate drivers track

CAnt really tell in the photos but the engine cover is painted as well - same silver as the car - looks good up close

and my new badge -

autostyle do a really good quality mat - www.autostyle.co.uk

had my pro speed full system now about 3 weeks - sounds great - I would say its a bit louder than in this clip but then I have only heard it from inside the car. looks good mate

They dropped mine about 5-10mm - handles good but does not look much better

prefer a metro to that!

but they are 18's

yeah thats right but they dont normally stock the relevant size for a clio according to the guy thats works there on their web site they only quote for fitment to a subaru i.e 5 stud et45 offset and also only 7.5 wide whereas i need 7inch wide

yeah thats it - that makes sense then - I thought you had replaced the rear headrests - much prefer the mk1 versions then.

not on a mk2 172 - they would look tiny - i understand that it would accelerate quicker etc but 17's look the b****cks especially with coilovers (my next buy). I already have 17's but want some dark grey ones and think these look good. I dont think the gain in acceleration with 15's is as...

the rear head rests in a 172 are a pain - you have to lift them up for someone to be able to sit down in the back then they look crap from behind the car - i want some like the front ones that sit on top of the seat. Tried fitting the front ones in the back but the metal bars are too big to fit...

how did you get rear head rests that sit normally on the back seats? (hope that makes sense)

quite similar to trophy wheels in that colour - they can also get me gunmetal (black) or gunmetal behind spokes and polished front which could look good - too many choices - dont know what to do

yeah apparently they are quite light - the guy in the shop said that these wheels are made by Rota who specialise in lightweight wheels for impreza p1's etc - he reckons they are about 4kilos a wheel lighter than your average bk wheel for example so not bad. any one wanna buy some mint 17inch...

good question omar - will find out now

think they look like speedline turinis a bit - im asking coz I already have 17's that look good but want other peoples opinions on these wheels as not cheap and want to reassure myself

can get them in 4 stud - in a 37 offset so perfect fit. they are the only set in Britain - have been imported from JApan by a subaru specialist but he has one set that would fit a 172.

they offered me a wicked price for H&R - try pm-ing john at venom to get a price for them

gdi have stopped selling Gaz as not too great - speak to venom motorsport - do pretty much most makes and at the best prices I have come accross - plus John (owner) is really helpful and will pretty much beat any quote you have been given - top job venom!

well i put a cup spoiler on my 172 and the connections were exactly the same - all works perfectly and looks mint

balancing is cheap - about 3/4pound a wheel ( in cardiff anyway) just make sure if you have centre caps that the muppets in the tyre shop dont pull them off with a screw driver! push them out from inside wheel unless you have genuine renault wheels with the tool to remove them. Tracking is...

i would say definately balance - had this loads of times but as soon as changed my tyres problems dissapear and thats on various cars.

I have a 172 spoiler you could buy off me for £60 including postage. It is in silver and is completely immaculate. let me know if your interested.

thats rough!

why do people quote huge figures for mileage when getting insurance? there is no physical way of any insurance company knowing how much mileage you have done in your car (unless brand new and within 1 yr old). I used to work in the AA in my younger days selling car insurance and this always...

the sportlines wont be better than the pros as they lower the car more which means the standard shocks are going to suffer. the pros do give a firmer ride than standard but will be a lot less harsh than the sportlines. with regard to handling im not sure - although it will be lower I dont...

you should get underneath, drill a load of holes and whack some self tappers in there, mine doesnt budge - could not get anything in the gap if i tried!
