...and with regard to gr172 talking about where to take it. I personally would put it into an official Renault body repair specialist. I had a crash in my old megane. Work was done to a great standard by Renault Bodymatters in wolverhampton.

Like Ad and 172cupwizard said, I think it's repairable. The boot floor isn't major structure and can be replaced. I had a little crumple in the boot floor in my clio and didn't even repair it. Rneault said it was safe. It passed two MoT's with it. If they said it wasn't safe I obviously...

Surely there should be a "swirl mark" sticky in this section?

At least they've explained the science correctly. But would I buy them? Hell no.

I'm not an authority on the subject, but I think that's what you're supposed to do.

I disagree. If I were to buy goods that someone says is working, I'd expect it to work otherwise you're damn right I'd be getting a refund. If something has been damaged in transit, it's down to him to claim off postal insurance IMO. The buyer can always specify extra insurance cover and pay...

f**king lottery winners! :rolleyes:

How did they turn out and how much did they charge you?

I'm just worried about getting some gash job where they just do a quick fix and 6-12 months later all corrosion is coming through or paint is flaking off or whatever. Brazo got his done at a place near me so I've asked him how much he paid. I think he was happy with the job.

Ouch! :eek: Wasn't looking at spending that much! ...unless I can refurb my alloys with that stuff too! ;)

The fact is that it is bloody difficult selling renaulsport models. They just don't sell for book prices. I don't know if there's some sort of conspiracy among buyers or something but it's just the way it is. You can only expect to sell a car for what someone is prepared to pay for it...

How much did all the products cost you (including the orbital polisher). I've just bought a 3-series in the same colour as yours with the same nice swirly paint! Still trying to weigh up if I should get the equipment to do it myself or pay for a valeter to do it. I'm worried a professional...

Flame on!

Good news is you only have to learn this lesson once matey! :) ...plus you can always remember it's something you've experienced.

I'm not a moron and I certainly can't be arsed f**king about arguing the toss about it. He messaged me asking if I ant to buy the car it's no offers. I messaged him back saying he should remove the ad and place a classified instead of a misleading auction. Also that if he wasn't going to...

I am such a loser. Edit: No I'm not a loser. It says if biding you will win a nut. What the hell is biding. As far as I can tell that advert is for a clio v6. Don't quite understand why he's put about no offers. I won't make him an offer, I've put a bid in instead and as it stands I...

Is a nut a good thing or a bad thing?

I'm currently the highest bidder! :D I could be the proud new owner of a Vee in 9 days time! Muhahahaha! ;)

Yes. They can test all the new frame, engine and drivetrain etc with all the old panels over the top.

Admittedly that description is like some greek tragedy in verse, but I think the gold looks alright actually. I don't think I've seen it before on a 172 but it's been tried and tested with the williams. Obviously lexus style light lenses are a complete no-no but the colours alright imo.

Liquid gold - golden choice :) Decals - unsightly and tacky looking :( I heard you can specify to not have the decals put on your car.

Absolutely true. IMO clios (esp. 172/182) sell for less than book price for whatever reason but people seem to try and get way over book price for them. I tried selling my clio a year or so ago and knew the f**k about I'd have trying to sell it privately just recently, that's why I didn't ven...

OMG the horror!

My laptop runs Minesweeper like a dream.

How have so many people made this mistake in this thread? It's a cup, it won't have had xenons! :cool:

This item is now sold.

Clio 172 Steering Wheel I'd removed from my 172. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=016&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=260097521788&rd=1&rd=1

I asked a salesman at a mitsubishi garage to open an evo they had outside so I could have a look. He refused and when I asked why, he said it would be a waste of his time ...I was absolutely livid. I think I was 23 when I bought my 172 and I test drove it first. The salesman came with me and...
