Re: Hertfordshire Photo meet - Location and Date TBC
If you actually make a new meet thread Brian, with a confirmed location and date then I'd probably be up for it, as would a few others I could drag from my way I'm sure.
This Thread Is Useless Without Good Pics is what that means, lol
The only reason I say about the match is you say its "99.9% match considering its 7 yeards old!" and the cars ages should have no bearing on how well someone matches it.
Give it a good clean and then get some whole car pics up.
Tom, say I happened to have a 172 by this meet, and say I wanted and could afford an induction setup by this point, would you be able to bring one along? ;)
I'll take that ;)
Oh and as for the colour match, colour looks ok, It just looks to not have been lacquered very well. Doesn't seem to have enough shine if you know what I mean?
Just phoned you to see about payment options as getting 1k together in one lump isnt easy (espec when you've just started a new job)
LOVE the pay in 3 installment options, for a 30£ surcharge, well worth it.
Hope to be taking out my policy on saturday, thanks for being so useful :)
I...
Thats my intention, but I'm picking it up on a Saturday, and that would mean I'd need to make a 100% decision before 1:00pm as thats when the company I intend to insure with closes.
Anyone under 25 managed to insure a 172 for a day???
I was about to post the exact same thread, but with my results....
22yo 0NCB 172 ph1 with light mods....
Its the 0 NCB that kills me I know, but it'll do for a quote for a year and then it should drop....
Adrian Flux - Couldnt get close to £1071 so didn't try
Brentacre - £1400
Chris Knott -...
My current insurance isn't mine, its my mums, due to being at uni for the best part of the year the car goes in her name (which for once is actually ok as she does use it more)
If I add it to that policy would I be covered for the day on it as a named driver???
The 172 will be going in my name...
Anyone had any experiences with these guys?
I can't seem to find the 172, do they no cover it?
When getting a quote you have to type in the model manually and it offers you options as you type, i.e you type "clio" and it offers "clio authentique, clio RN" etc....
Only need a day's worth to...
Take off the door card, see whats going on, if the cable is all mangled up, remove the mech and check the motor still spins, if the mech looks fine, but motor doesnt spin when you press switch, first try a different switch, then try a different motor.
Car's looking pretty wicked, especially for £35 Tunst :)
Good list of mods so far, once you've got that paint done, give it a damn good clean and polish, then get some pics up without the 'orrible exhaust.
EDIT: Screaming out for a dynamic/cup spoiler though.
Can't you just run small spades into the connector on the spoiler?
If you can see two pins inside the connection, just run it with two male pins into the connector on the car, then two females onto the spoiler with connecting wires. load of leccy tape to ensure no water gets in. Done.
I don't believe the mk1 is the same, but I couldnt say for sure....
Oh and James, pass being slower is quite common due to the way they are wired (pure genius)
Oh my, I dont think there will ever be a better clio on CS (or in the world ;) ) tbh.
Cracking! That wheel really does make the interior look so new!
EDIT: One thing I'd change though, keep the front plate the same height, but make it 100% length so it fills the recess.
^^ as the non smoker says tbh....
I've had to put mine back to standard so I could sell... It was a mega pain in the ass, but if you've made all the changes yourself it'll all come out easier than it went in, as you know exactly what you are doing...
Can make you a lot more money too :)
