Who gives a s**t what it's faster than . Another pointless post imo :quiet:

You will have one on FF 172 . Its on the windscreen like you say . Thanks to AmDaMan for the pic ;) Personally i don't see why people have such a problem with the autowipers . I only use the autowiper setting when it's raining and don't find the need to move the stalk down another notch .

The sport ones you refer to are only aluminium covers riveted onto the actual pedal .

Bought 4 of them today . The guys at Halfords looked at me like i was mental when i asked them if they were only £1 each as they weren't marked up with a price , until he checked the price on the till ;)

Loads on yell ;) http://www.yell.com/ucs/UcsSearchAction.do?ssm=0&scrambleSeed=94478227&keywords=tyre+fitter&companyName=&location=edinburgh&M=0&x=27&y=11 Just go to a small independant . You might get a tyre for only a few quid if your lucky .

Of course you can get second hand tyres . They call them "part worns " . Go to a local backstreet tyre fitter , they'll have loads . 1mm thread is illegal by the way 3 points and upto £2500 fine :eek: . I'd get it sorted asap not just for the points and fine but for your own safety .

Yeah your right , lol . I read the first bit and that's what stuck in my mind ;) " If the EU’s latest eco proposals are agreed, owners will no longer be able to shop around for budget brands. Instead, they will have to switch worn-out rubber with the manufacturer’s preferred original make...

Sounds like it would be impossible to police though , except come MOT time . Might not be good for the consumer though as the tyre manufacturers could slap on a big price increase knowing that people will have to buy their tyres and not a cheaper alternative . I guess it's a case of watch...

According to this atricle we might only be able to replace old tyres with the same tyre as was fitted by the manufacturer . Not that i'm bothered as i like the Exaltos and wouldn't swap em for cheap tyres anyway Could be costly for some of you Billy Budget tyre buyers tho' ;)...

It does say that they have modified the kit and added a larger cone filter .

From that pic i'd say the surface area of the filter is alot larger than the surface area of the OE filter .

Got to agree . If there wasn't a recess it would look good , but with the recess in the bumper it just doesn't look right to me . Each to their own tho' !

Lookswise . I like it alot . Never had any experience of them myself though . Being a cotton air filter it'll sound loud , just as you want ;) I'd say it was pretty cheap considering the price of similar cotton air filters from Green and K+N cost hell of alot more without any sort of airbox...

The higher the number the slower the car . I think that's how it works anyway ;) Welcome to Cliosport :)

They fit bob on . There is just a tiny little bit of plastic that needs filing off on the back . Literally takes a couple of seconds then they sit flush in the wings .

Pmsl :approve:

Its hard to say without seeing a pic . If you put a pic up i can tell you .

i've never used spacers so i'm not that clued up on em tbh . You'll need something like 5mm . Put a post up about " what spacers " and you might get a bit more help . I'm sure there will be a few others on here that will have encountered the same problem and have more info about it .

The 182 wheels have a higher offset so they sit further into the arch . You need some spacers to bring the wheel out slightly . That should solve the problem .

It scrapes on the inside of the wheel ?

On the back there are 2 little lugs . File them down and they fit bob on :)

I wouldn't personally . I'd stick with the 205's myself . I'd be asking the question . " Why are they scraping " ? Has it been lowered , wrong offset wheels ??

Tell em to fcuk off mate . They are shafting you big time . Like Steve says , the rear discs are only 8mm new , minimum thickness is 6mm , you've probably got another 18months - 2 years left in em yet as they do fcuk all .

I know you can't you Mr Informative . But like i said in my previous post they are BOG STANDARD BRAKES , nothing special . If you want a manual showing the same brakes get one for a Citroen ZX 1991 - 94 or Pug 306 1993 - 95 . The calipers are almost exactly the same as the 1*2's both front and...

Like the man says . Do it yourself . Save a fortune , once you know how to change them it's always there when you need to do it in the future . If your unsure , get a haynes manual .172's brakes aren't anything special pretty bog standard or get a mate who's done it before to give you a hand...

At last , someone who talks sense :)

^^^ That might be why then , they will be aiming too low . I love the xenons on my 182 , my 172's xenons were fine as well both on standard suspension .

^^^ They are self levelling mate . Have you lowered your car ?? They can be adjusted manually inside the engine bay . You have to switch the ignition on then adjust them with the white allen screws .

I'd say it was as much to do with saving money as saving weight . I'd hate to lose the xenons though . If you can get some at a good price go for it .
