I expect you got on like a house on fire then.

Im with Gareth, deffo a mk3 Golf.

Nice, alot of car for the money those, bet if feels much more modern than the Clio. Nice choice.

I was going to say Clio Media?? But I have no idea what car it is?! Possible mk3 Golf?!

Same as in the ph1 172 isn't it? And as far as im aware they are a completely plain ball.

I would have cleaned the car and left the wheels myself, and cleaning numberplates, why would you ever want to do that ;)

Already a few non clios posted so I may as well contribute. The dirty girl after giving my brother a lift to work at 7am this morning down the country lanes, was a bit slippy, opposite lock + handbrake and wheelspin in third FTW! Not that dirty until you get close up, but certainly the...

Cheers for the advice, going to print that off! Its going to get a wash and a clay this afternoon then going in the garage.

LOL at a mop head on an angle grinder! Im cracking the PC out on the Lupo for the first time tommorow so im bricking it now.

I would have to get the door handles and side strip colour coded, makes it look like an expression, like it apart from that.

I may be after a new Head unit, it needs to have bluetooth and ipod connectivity, any suggestions/ recommendations, would prefer Alpine or Pioneer. Currently thinking: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/pioneer-dehp65bt-p-5862.html?cadid=248f508d9c09b2dfa0db69fe440ef9b6 Or this...

Oh dear...

I ve driven the 140bhp one, tis not that quick tbh. I imagine the 170bhp would be slower to 60 compared to a 182 but after that the A3 would sail on past.

Im going to get slated for this, but ive found the Tesco value car shampoo quite good, its 75p for a litre. Its obviously not as good as some as the top stuff but its 75p, I tend to wash my car a fair bit especially in the summer so for a quick wash its fine. I have got some better stuff for...

lol at the thread title, its not that bad, more reliable than any clio!

Agreed with Ally, when I was looking at 172ff's earlier in the year I reckoned I could get a good one for £5.5k. Now 182's are starting to drop below the 7k mark, next year a 182 will be £6k and a 172ff £4.5k. Ouch, think I will stick with my VAG residuals.

Private or dealer?

£7.5k this time of year tops, I assume your looking to buy, stick a low offer in, its a bad time of year to be selling a car.

Tidy, quite like that.

You have great taste, bit of a drive for you though. I think any exhaust system set into the bumper 'prospeed' style would look good, I believe GDI do a similar system.

Love this car, wish my 1.2 16v was like that, the only thing I would change is the exhaust.

I had some AG glass polish and had quite good results, and it smells lovely, i ve run out now but I plan to get some more which your welcome to try out mate.

As cat171 puts it heap of s**t, I wouldn't piss on it if it was on fire. You can get a decent standard valver for peanuts these days so there would be absolutely no point buying that to standardise and the parts that are on it are worth sweet-f-a anyway. Loving the bird s**t effect down the side.

Shame dell boy had overpriced it by a grand otherwise i might have had it. I parked it back in that space :approve: Had the smell of clutch and brakes dissappeared when you took that photo! :rasp:

Why on earth would you want a puncture?!

+1, this time next year they will be £6k at the rate its currently going. Of course that means the ph2 172 will tumble and the ph1's will be £1500!

Lol, yeah the slowing down is abit undernerving especially as it goes into a 40 zone as well at the end which isn't good for the licence if your braking from the upper jelly baby scale!

Pah your obviously not an avid fan of the Bridge test ;)

The only purpose they serve is pub talk ammo ;)

Looking spot on, get it on a set of eibachs and get some speedline/ renault centre caps and you've got a very nice 1.2 16v. Get back in your box you can't exactly comment on exhausts.
