It did yeah, but shortened a bit.

I found out recently to look at the position of the brake calipers. On the front of an Escort Cosworth they're next to the door, on a Mk5 Escort etc they are on the other side, next to the front bumper. On the back they're at the top of the disc. On a Mk5 they are next to the rear bumper. Sure...

I was down there in 2002 in my mates 106 gti. As we approached the casino end I saw a load of silver 172's and a Cliosport banner, so I wrote the website down and decided to check it out. I knew what a 1.8 16v was so I decided to look into one and signed up to CS (I had really wanted a 90 spec...

I did mate :) got one a couple of months ago, £25 delivered from eBay. Genuine Renault, new old stock for a Trafic van (but it's the same thing as on the Clio's etc) They had four, but I think they've sold out. Part number, 7700413867

I messaged @frayz last year as he'd had some stuff done on his inferno 182. I was looking for good place to do some paint on my 172 (I still haven't had time to take it to them) He used VJB Classics in Maldon, Essex (I hope he doesn't mind me saying this)...

I've never seen one of those before! I've got a got a CD changer under there (on a normal phase 2 172) but on the Vee, the changer's under the driver seat.

Some lovely ones there! I do love a Nova! I've never had one, but I think that on Alessio's they look great!!

Lots of great stuff! I'm in love with that split screen though!

I looked it up as it'll be six figures, it's from these guys. Fantastic!! :love: https://www.kingsleycars.co.uk/

:( I stumbled across your thread last week and thought the work you've been going on it was great!

If you to do an install to update it, please share. I have the OE sat nav in my 172. I don't use it, but the original stereo comes up on the screen of it.

He's one of those ones where everything is the end of the world (the faces for the thumb nails are enough to make you want to punch the screen) He leaves basic safety and mechanics out too as he's penny pinching. His GF's the same too, didn't drive my car for a few months, ooh abandoned...

Cool, thanks for confirming. I do, eBay item number:326207650415 It's same Renault part number as you guys have.

With the after market 18's on it, they're nice but massive!

Holy thread revival! Does anyone know where I can get one of these? I honestly don't remember them being leather (or looking like they are) I just checked on eBay and saw a genuine one (which I would like) but it's £140 :censored: I remember years ago getting a brand new Williams one for £15...

Holy thread bump Batman!! How many clips are on each side?

Talking if pillarless, I've always liked the W124 coupe's, so a C124 :) I think they're ace!

I didn't really appreciate them years ago. I do now though! They're cool as f**k!

I started watching the AutoAlex series on the French hot hatches for ten grand (if it wasn't about those I wouldn't have watched) Two of the videos (the one when they bought the Willy 2 and the one when they bough the 5 GT Turbo) were good! The third one all about servicing Taylor's 205 GTI...

So it is! I've never seen that done before.

I love this Nova, but the wheels (which are MIM Raffino's yo) are just a bit too big. Still cool though! The glossy bit under the front bumper is a new one on me though, not seen that before.

That's AI ? none of it looks real at all.

Thanks mate, I know of them, made by Janspeed iirc? But I think they're on back order or something?

Hi, I saw your car on a recent AutoAlex video. Bang on four minutes, I'm looking forward to the restoration!! :love:

Great stuff! Looking good so far!! :cool:

Please can you let me know some info about this exhaust? I've got a Phase 2 172 with pattern one on it and it's noisy, I want quieter like OE - I am considering Piper with both boxes but I'm interested in other options.

I really don't like the rear lights on the saloon / booted ones!

Not even close! There's a blue one on AutoTrader the same as mine (a blue phase 1) that's on less than 3000 miles from new... it is £70k though!

I still love them! There's a blue one local-ish to me. But I've only seen it a couple of times. I was watching the Tour de France when it was on the other week, I had to do a double take / rewind it as there was a yellow one parked on the grass (on the wrong side of the road) with two speaker...

A chap on one of the police programs had an RS6 badge in his front grill of his standard A6 saloon :rolleyes: the copper remarked on it when he'd stopped the bloke.
