FLOL! Ok.
Op if you've managed to pick up a normal 172 interior fire it in as you say it's nicer than the cloth cup interior that's fitted. If you get any lights up on the dash take it to someone that has a Renault clip and get them to turn them off.
I had the Sportlines on my 172 and loved them. Nice subtle drop in height and a really nice ride. When pushing on down a B road they reduced body roll a good bit over standard.
Easiest way to tell if the bearings are seized is to turn the steering wheel when the car is stationary and if it doesn't return to centre on its own the bearings are seized. Can be an expensive fix depending on where you get it done.
Gearboxes are fine so are the clutches it's more the flywheels that seem to give up especially after a remap. Swivel hub bearings are prone to seizing too causing the steering not to self centre.
