182 cup (i think) blue 54 plate VERY NICE
1.4 16v blue with yellow badges, Pretty tidy

My dad and i are thinking of a track car project, we have a clio 1.2 shell left form when we broke the car, would it be worth doing a 172 engine conversion or just scrap it and buy a tatty 172 for around £1k?
Just finished now & will keep it for 2 months until im 19 and can insure a 197 ;)
Not spent a lot of money on it really just cheap effective mods
£500 on wheels
£80 on lowering
£200 exhaust
Then a bit of colour coding and tidying & done :)
Here is a few pics with some mates after a cleaning...
1st had chrome plate surround but still looked nice, i think it was a women driver with an oldish man in passenger and someone in the back, was at bassets pole island, 2nd i saw was in kingsbury going down the mad mile by the waterpark, Look smart although i didnt see it for more than a second...
Im getting either a 172 or a 182 in the next couple of months but im really unsure which to go for., would want a mint low mileage 172 something similar to this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Renault-Clio-172-sport-2002-/180654551494?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2a0fd9b1c6#ht_1493wt_1139

Heading down the m42 just past the tamworth turn off, Saw a 172 in blue which was lowered quite a lot i would say 60mm, it had an aftermarket exhaust, looked amazing one of the best i have seen but i bet the rides bad!, I didnt have chance to get a good look because you were going about 40 down...
Im currently breaking a clio and as expected some of the bolts are rusty, the two bolts on one side of the bonnet have snapped leaving the thread in the hole, whats the best way to remove them?, i dont think i could get mole grips on them? any ideas are much appreciated ;)
Hopefully i will be able to insure one soon, Just wondering the cheapest places to use?, i have some decent money to insure one. Advice will be much appreciated ;)
I am struggling to remove my bumper, does anyone know how to? i have removed the arch liners and undone the 2 10mm bolts each side, unpluged the fog lights and thats as far as ive got..., I am a rubbish mechanic :)
My car seems to have gained a few dents in the last 6 months, one is on the drivers side which does have a slight crease but i think it would come right, other are just minor pings, i also want to get it detailed as the paintwork has a lot of swirl marks, Its black so it does show the marks...
