I wanted a 182 for ages, but found a 172 so I got excited and just bought it. I really like the wheels exhaust etc on the 182, and I've found a 182 cup not far from me for £7700 at a garage. So I think I'm going to see if he will give me a good price for mine plus some cash. I was just wondering...

First 255 I've ever seen, and I must say looks even better up close. Had a cheeky look when I overtook. You were taking the leyland/euxton exit off the M6 going southbound.

Does anyone know how to take the diamond renault badge off the front end of a 172? Do I just need to lever it off with a screw driver? Cheers

I took my 172 to the garage on thursday to sort out a screeching noise, turned out I need new discs and pads. Now theres a clunking/knocking noise coming from what sounds like underneath the car when I'm driving. Does anyone know what this could be? Cheers

At high speeds (70mph +) my steering wheel has started to shake like a b*tch. Is there any way to sort this?

I'm about to start saving my ass off to go from my recently purchased ph2 172 to an impreza P1. I figured seeing as I'm 19 and only just got my 172, I will save as much as poss until I'm 21 and get a beasty P1. I was going to save for throttle bodies, but though naaah! What do people think...

My wheels are making this really annoying high pitched, on and off screeching noise, but it seems to go away when I apply the brake. The only way I can explain it over a forum is: screech-screech-screech-screech like someone jumping up and down on a bed or something. Could any tell me...

Just a few quick questions: What does it do? How do you remove it? Will it make it easier to route a CAF if I removed it? Cheers

Last night parked in the bull car park. Wish I could afford to sell my 172 and get a trophy, looked sh!t hot.

I've noticed with the weather getting nicer that the low end pick up in my car is really bad. My BMC CDA is currently open as I couldn't work out how a CAF would fit down to the bottom grill. I was just wondering the best place to get a 85mm flexi CAF and how the hell it would fit?? Cheers

I'm just wondering if anyone knows where I can get either an RS tuning vinyl decal or a GDI one for my bonnet? Obviously I only want a small one to go right at the edge my bonnet so it doesn't look tacky and gay. I want one to replace the hillpower one thats on it atm. Cheers

Getting some new alloys in the next month or so. Just after peoples opinions of these http://www.potn.co.uk/c1_8613_6013_p1007716.htm cheers

A few pics of my 172: http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t106/ste_172/clio019.jpg http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t106/ste_172/clio010.jpg Middos sh!t hot black & titanium door badges: http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t106/ste_172/clio008.jpg...

I bought a 172 about 3 months ago, and I'm just after some advice on improving the torque. The mid range torque is pretty rubbish tbh (between 2k-5k revs). Am I right in saying 172's have 145lbs of torque as standard? Will a decat, BMC CDA (with cold air feed) and a remap make much difference...

Has anyone got a pic with the front renault diamond painted? cheers

My Service Lights and Traction control light both came on this morning. The traction control (the one that flashes when you wheelspin) is now permanently on. Does anyone know what this could be? Maybe lack of tyre tread and new brake pads are required?

Just been looking for stuff on ebay and found this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FUEL-SAVER-FOR-RENAULT-CLIO-MEGANE-LAGUNA-172-5_W0QQitemZ120108763891QQihZ002QQcategoryZ72205QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem what the hell is that all about?

I recently got my door badges painted black and titanium by Middo (which are quality by the way...cheers Mark). I just wanted to know what people would think my ph2 172 would look like with black wing-mirrors, black renault diamond and spraying my carbon splitter black too? to go along with the...

Does anyone know how to remove the front bumper on a ph2 172? I need to take it off to fit a splitter. Cheers

I'm looking to mod my ph2 172, to hopefully improve the shocking low down torque. I have a BMC CDA but haven't yet fitted a cold air feed. I was just wondering if a decat makes much difference?

When I'm in nuetral and the car is running at circa 750rpm, it feels like the engine is juddering, sort of like a pulsing feeling from the front end, as if it wants to stall. I was wondering if this is a common problem, and also whether it's easily fixed?

Can anyone tell me whether it's hard to fit a carbon splitter to a ph 172? Mine should arrive tomorrow and I'm probably going to fit it tomorrow night. So are there any tips? Do I need to take the bumper off? cheers

I've noticed as the weather is getting better and the sun is shining that there are swirl marks on my bonnet. I assume they are little scratches made when cleaning the car? Can anyone tell me what product to use to get these swirls out?? Cheers

Whats the big deal with coilovers? (bearing in mind I'm a beginner, still learning about all this stuff) Are they worth £600-700?

Is it easy to remove the 2.0 16v door badges? how do you do it? do they just clip off and on? Cheers

I need some new alloys for my 172 (cos they are kurbed and beyond repair...by the previous owner I must add). I want some OZ superturismos or superleggeras. I just wanted peoples opinions on what size. I currently have 17's and the ride is a bit uncomfortable when going on bumps/pot-holes. Will...

Hi everyone. Noticed quite a few scratches on my car :( not had it too long. I was just wondering where to get some touch up paint. My local halfrauds does this 3 pen set for a renault flame red, will this stuff be any good?? Not sure why it had 3 pens in it or what each one does?

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/155047.htm If you read the first line....1 of 60 flame red clios built? That's gotta be b0ll0cks cos theres about 4 where I work (including mine)

I'm looking at gettin a personalised numerplate and I've found a ok one thats pretty cheap. I've heard you can space the characters so it looks more like the desired name or word. Has anyone here had it done, and have you been pulled by the police for it??

Can someone tell me how to take the b@stard head lamps off so I can fit silvervisions. I'm sure renault put glue on the threads of the bolts cos it's solid to loosen. Heeeelp!!!
