I love all the why didn't you get a 172 instead comments :) god forbid he might have preffered the way the 182 drove and wanted that colour and those wheels. Thats like saying I paid 3 grand more for a 182 because I didn't like the 172 alloys, rather than just change them! Get your new bumper...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Aye but this is for my 172 - but I fancy using the willy tank cap so I can fit my hill power covers, power steerings the same fitment but the 172s cap is different - if they both have the same pressure rating then I'll use the willy cap

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project ^^^ dude I just spent a whole hour readong f0xy.net - b*****d! Didn't realise how much s**t its gone through! How much was the new 172 coolant tank by the way? did the willy cap screw straight on? are they the same pressures?

p**n!

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Looks fekkin awesome!

Bumper paint - job done?!

has to be a 172 one

rofl :)

Aye, it looked like that was going to be the case - I wanna see it with the bumper on. Stealth 182 exhausts FTW! ;)

I don't get all the abuse actually reading through again!? People stick ph2 172 bumpers on their ph1's, people stick 182 bumpers on 172/cups - why the stress out?!! Maybe he wanting the 182 suspension, the look of the alloys, the fact they're newer but didn't like the exhaust sticking out the...

I think it will be fine with a 172 bumper and will do what HE wants it do on HIS car. Should have shown results with the bumper then you might not have got as much stick but I applaud your idea and going with this to be honest.

^^^ They all are its true - but every owners different I guess - to you its a clio to someone else its the best car on earth.

I'd rather keep my 172 and pay someone to teach me how to drive it properly, I doubt I have the balls to reach the outer limits of both cars! I've had a Williams and a 16v and I preffered the williams however... Did I exploit it to its true potential? No Did I exploit the extra handling...

Not as heavy as these 172 wheels!

^^^ looks good

Citrus or apple fairy liquid? :o

No bother answered the slight query I had - no matter!

Still can't decide if getting the icerberg was the right colour choice! I think it was but it was mighty close between that and a flamer!

7j x 16 h2, 56mm Bore What else do I need to know to fit a ph2 172?

Just bought a new gear knob from renault - looks lush ;)

Pictures dammit - enough of these words ;)

Looking mint as always Jay, those wheels have finally grown on me - only took what 2 years? lol :)

^^^ I tried it on a 1.8 16v mk1 - I err had to scrap the car rather quickly! :o

its amazing what a set of bumpers do to a car, that 172 looks underwheeled and yet only the bumpers differ from a phase 1! Curse the 16s for not being widely available ;)

what does it look like? underwheeled? I'm curious!

I'd paint the centre caps to match the wheels - I think thats what I don't like - but thats all really! Next mod has to be removing the sunroof ;)

Aye Oz F1's Genuine renault ones are slightly different to Oz aftermarket ones though.

I know there would be a lot of 'are you mad' posts from trophy owners - I'm the same when someone says you can lower a 1.2 mk1 and it handles better than a williams :rolleyes: Properly set up coilovers on a normal 172/182 must be bloody good though.

Loving the mk2 front bumper! great to see a different mod. Loving the lack of rust too - some mods are very questionable though ;)

Will still look like a 4x4 down 30mm and 16" wheels... Also if you put 16" on a 1.2 you'll kill and performance the little 1.2 has. 15" look spot on a mk1 and I'd be looking at more like 60mm on the front and torsion bar slightly higher on the back to match.
