The only decent replica out there is the source (hi fi) ice car - that looks the nuts :) reason being is that it was build using genuine v6 parts, which I belive Matt Black supplied. The rest of the replicas look soo s**te it's un-true. If it means you have to save up for the real deal, save...

I'd go with a set of cup alloys tbh (turinis) or the trophy ones (athratice turinis):)

Hi they had 137 bhp out of the factory, so expect that to have dropped a bit now unless the cars in really good health. Books figures on performance 0-60 was 7.7 secs, top end 130mph. They either weigh 950kg or 1018 kg, I can't remember which fig tho. As for the wheels, it depends on what...

Hmm i'll make it 170bhp ,then i'll shove some gash big wheels on it & weight it down with a few subs. It looks turd tbh & doubt it's 170bhp.

What colour is the 172 ?

Please don't buy cliosport harness pads for it, they look rubbish & the ones you've sen aren't official cs items- someone has copied the logo. CS don't do harness pads.

you tried babel fish ?

^ thats it then, I think a dude called Paul used to own it.

I think he means brown ?

I like it, love the wheels n that. For some reason I regonise it though, did you buy it from some one on here ?

i'd get rid - stereo stickers only draw attention to the car, why tell people what stereo you have so they can come & nick it ?? (even if you don't have an alpine stereo it won't stop an idiot bricking your window) Those stickers are so 90's anyway.

Standard rallyes came on 14" white steelies. - Two of my mates had them from new, one had white & the other blue. I can tell you that fitting the standard air box back on one after the induction kit is a total pain in the back side ! You could get them in Yellow (sundance yellow) abroad...

Certainly stands out, I like !!!

Lol @ the essex - I live near Romford. I used to have a mint valver, my dads got a mk2 flame red 172 & i'm on the hunt for a mint mk1 vee:)

I don't mod, so no need.

I'd avoid it tbh, chances are it's a cat D, there is better out there for the money, if you look around.

Re: Is it just me or have most valvers Patrick - decent valvers were hard to come by four years ago, I dread to think what some of them look like now ! The thing is though, that when a minter (and I mean a minter) does turn up no one wants to pay a fair price for it, most want to pay rubbish...

I believe it does, i've never used it myself, but know of loads who have. It ought to do the trick. If your still un sure about it, google it.

RR'd @ 233 bhp:eek: I know that vee's don't make their quoted power, but 233 seems a bit down to me. The dude can't even spell clio either :rolleyes: I don't the steering wheel on it, the original bus one looks better. Other than that, love it !

I think they look rubbish tbh. I was considering getting a set for show use (when I get the car) but after seeing these, I don't like them. I like the german looking ones, they'd be ok if it was an F on the left & not the D.

Patrick - get your dad to call up fords & find out for definate, just to be on the safe side.

Whereabouts are you mate ? RR set ups usually cost a few hunderd pounds, possibly a bit more.

No problem, get that stuff & see how you get on, it should do the trick.

Not for me at all, much prefer it without them.

With a cs sticker in the rear, spill - whose is it ? I know what the colours mean :) but not on a road car though:nono: Yellow & grey hybrid

They don't look overly bad in the pics, they are not past it (in my opinion, i've seen a lot worse) I'd suggest getting some Gliptone (liquid leather) on them for a start, you can buy it from ebay, give that a try & see where you are. You have to look after leather, otherwise it just dries out...

My dad gets that all the time in his 172, he gets really annoyed. It's not just 'lesser' clio models who do it, but crappy vectras & poverty spec bm's :rolleyes:

If the seller has proof of the actual mileage on the engine thats in there, fine, if they have bills for all work done, inc cambelt change ?? (inc fitting it of engine etc) then great. Personally there is no way i'd touch one without paperwork. Bradharding - not every one who puts a willy...

Depends what your after really, if you want another hot hatch go for a 106gti or a paxo vts, or even a ph1 172 - although any one you find for 2.5k will probs be s**t or have a load of miles on it.

Clean as, love the wheels & the badges.
