handy for you maybe... How much are they wholesale?

Exalto 2 is a great tyre, I find michelins to be amazing in the wet and being from Scotland I need that. Theyre not too expensive if you goto mytyres or costco, costco will be £88 each inc fitting and balancing.

fair enough, Id buy a used 172 myself save a lot of hassle and on insurance prob!

maybe the car was written off in 2001 / 2002 after only 6k miles...

feels like youre playing a computer game or something, fly by wire push button to go faster or slower, dont use your brakes... lol Shame the button to switch it on and off is so badly positioned, if youre in a hurry to turn it off, youre fooked!

my 205gti sold to a guy who saw it on the net the day it went in, so was awaste of money in the mag, but at the end of the day it can;t hurt to put it in the mag for a week can it?!

yup they get even faster! ;)

They hear clio and make a big ASS out of U and ME... I was told there was no run in period required when I bought my 182... Go figure

182 is 12k miles

Ducellier are pretty good OEM quality IIRC got one for my 205 gti from Euro car parts, I think youll usually get the rotor arm when you buy a distributor cap?

my standard exhaust is getting noise at 15k, think the centre section maybe blowing...

I dunno, presume so! Ive never looked at mytyres, surely it tells you what youre buying?!

yup they all use Michelin Exalto 2s now. I dunno how long the 182 had different tyres? cause mines 8 months old with exalto 2s

Im sure its fine for motorway cause theyre gonna be pretty flat and straight, I sometimes use it on the A9 between Thurso and Perth, not at all flat and straight! But only when my foot needs a rest!

I reckon its not very fuel efficient cause it will try to maintain your speed up hill etc without a gear change.

white is much better on blue IMO

if you change gear it screws it up, It resumes the speed that you had set if youre in the gear you were in when you set it... Its good to give your foot a wee rest but I dont really use it much, good for speed cameras too! cause the speed on the cruise control is more accurate than your speedo.

£88 fitted and balanced locally, £6 dont matter too much... :cool:

Lets hope they can get the tyres in by the weekend, they told me to call on Friday to see if theyd got them or theyu were on back order :confused:

Just off the phone to costco £88 each for Pilot Exalto 2 205 45 R16 Vs was offered 20% off if I bought 4 but I cant afford 4 the now, doh!

stripes are only available as an option on racing blue... iirc You need to go somewhere that does minis to get them done otherwise. Theres someone on here with a blue 172 cup with stripes, looks good.

fraser, youre from bearsden? lol doh same postcode as me...

I dont see many 172s, cups or 182s to be honest, must depend on where you stay...

Id recommend buying a service option too, I got 3 years servicing for about £200, adds like 75p a month to finance probably, well worth it!

Mine was pre-registered by Arnold Clark, with 6 miles on the clock. I paid £11900, full UK spec with Metallic paint, un-cupd... this was way back in June 04, have seen the same deal with metallic paint and bopth cup packs.

Im not a fan of racing blue full stop, but if youre going for racing blue you gotta get the stripes.

yup itll look cool, I want stripes on my Arctic Blue 182...

yeah and renault had mine inflated to 40 front and rear when I picked up my car...

Im at 15k and perfectly legal, I dont light it up in 1st gear but I dont drive slow...
