i would like to know also, this is the only thing stopping me from doing it!

i got Halfords top of the range Calcium battery with 4 year warranty for 50 odd quid. Was 20% off all batteries at the time a few months back.

Repetitive Strain Injury

i would keep the RSi interior in the car giles, i quite like the pattern on it! :) on a side note, how did you get the ball off the gearstick without cutting it? mine's scratched and i cant get it off!

yup, you probably will... i've got to walk everywhere for the next week! lol

see the diagram i drew above. dipped beam is HB3, main beam is H7, sidelight is W5W middo is getting confused.

are all parts that hard to get hold of out in SA? it may be worth trying places like GSF car parts online. They sell oem parts and can probably deliver to you quicker than renault can, and be cheaper too!

no idea mate, i can only justify my reasons lol

they're sat right here next to my pink ones :)

i did it as a joke. I get so fed up with trying to explain why my clio is better than the others you see on the road. Its far easier just saying "i drive a little clio" and its become a joke at work.

yup, spray over the whole badge, then hand paint the numbers. then laquer the whole thing. did the same for my silver ones. spiezels, yeah i'll race you, im getting the 1.2 8v engine conversion done next :)

:o

still got the pink ones ;) unsure whether to paint the 1.2 ones or not.

got my hand all strapped up, broke my finger in 2 places :( yeah ypu have to remove the whole bump strip. open the doors, front's slide backwards, back's slide forwards. then just squeeze the clips in and pop them out :) if i can do it with 1 hand, i'm sure you'll manage!

That car's on coilovers, wound down about 50mm. so no, you will need to buy coilovers to get it that low.

going back to Eibach springs, but trying the sportlines this time. just got to decide on some shocks now! :)

Seeing as i can't drive my car for a week, i decided to fit my new badges. I also ordered some new suspension for her today :) Before: after:

very nice indeed. not keen on the dark window tints, but the rest of the car looks lovely!

i personally prefer the look of the standard 172 spoiler. It just seems to follow the roofline better which i prefer. Not too keen on the "flick" at the end of the cup spoiler. Another thing i disslike about it is the brake light. It just looks stuck on whereas the normal spoiler has it...

if the wheels are curbed then you won't get £200 for them. £150 at a push is the going rate at the moment, lots of sets have recently been sold around this price.

should be around £200 with a bluetooth GPS thingamybob. have a butchers on ebay, will be loads cheaper.

huh? you cant put rear shocks on the front, they're completely different.

what spacing do the Ph1 172's have?

yeh thats one of my favourites :approve:

I recently paid £58 for the best one Halfords could give me... Calcium something or other... was 20% off at the time so though it was a good deal :)

bump would be nice to see lots more! :)

i know it used to be set as default if you joined and didnt enter a car description... so everyone was driving Mk2 172s without even knowing. Not sure if thats still the case though.

ive done several myself... best advice i can give is take your time! you want to leave at least a whole day between the stages of applying the primer, base coat and laquer. You only want very fine coats too, dont aim to cover the whole section in 1 coat, its best not to! 3 or 4 coats at each...
