I’ve had two cheap 172’s. Both required little bits. First one was better than the second one but still great. As said above if belts have been done and there’s not loads of rust etc then go for it. It’s a Clio at the end of the day so apart from belts most bits are cheap and easy to do even for...

Wow, this is awesome @RustyMojo . Love your commitment to getting a prefect 182. Shame seeing how much work you did on the other one. Good luck with this one, does look immaculate and with your level of work any flaws will be perfected well. Out of interest what does the other one need now to...

Really good progress with it mate, you’ve made some impressive changes. Looks lovely. Wish I’d had the time and inclination to do more to my 182, then wish I’d kept the 172 that I actually did do stuff to.

Hi and welcome. Nice car! What competition did you play to win it?

@JackM94 really nice car, unusual in red too! How do you find it day to day? What is the fuel usage like? I’m really tempted by a 225 for my next car.

@Nishan sounds nice, defo need some drive by videos though. ;)

Very very nice, really like these, and yours looks lovely. What is the mpg like on these? Thinking of getting one (probably a 225 though), really do think they still look great.

When this happened to me many years ago, mine snapped flush too and was drilled out by a garage due to my inability to do anything remotely useful like that! You might get a mobile welder to come out to you. Failing that drilling it out will definitely sort it.

Awesome project but need some more videos of it driving

Another Clio lover to rival @Ant1 ?

Very nice and your plans sound great. What a bargain that was for £1100! Wish I could ind one like that.

Stunning!! Is that a 916 I see in front? Also beautiful!!

Looks awesome Ben, such a nice car for the mileage and shows how you’ve looked after her!! Did I read you might be selling her in the future?

i believe so, it came up for sale a couple of years ago but I didn’t have the money for it sadly. I’ll have another one day.

Only few I can find and photobucket has messed them up! Mine had the cup spoiler pack but not the suspension pack weirdly. It was my first renaultsport Clio and I’d have it back in a heartbeat!

@HAP

Looks beautiful! Really love the colour how it changes in different light. Miss mine!!

Have a visual check of the wires for the sensors. My old 172 had this and it was a broken wire to the sensor on the drivers front wheel. 30 minutes with a drill and new one cured it all.

As said above it will do sadly, but I’ve just had my mot cancelled this Saturday and most mot stations by me are closing. Hopefully you can get it in somewhere.

Looks amazing! My abarth grande punto is one of the cars I regret letting go! (And I’ve had many!!) Mine wasn’t the esseesse like yours though, but was the same colour.

Hello and welcome. Looks a nice car and well done on saving it! Look forward to your progress. Really wish I could have another one.

I would recommend driving it and enjoying it as is then seeing what needs changing. One of the best mods I did to mine was a powerflex dog bone mount insert (lower gearbox Mount).

When I spoke with Apple I think they said below 80% is when they would suggest a change.

That looks lovely @Sunglasses_Ron. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it. Still have a hankering to try one of these, especially with the mpg!

Absolutely awesome! I’d love just one 172/182 and there’s you with all these! How do you find them? Your like the pied piper for them!

Hi and welcome. Car looks great, love petrol blue! Need more pictures though please.

I would say in my opinion that yours has a cup spoiler pack but not suspension pack so isn’t a full fat. The wheels look to into the arches for the suspension pack to be fitted.

Yours was lovely too, I think this looks fresh on the silver turini’s but yours on anthracite turini’s looks moodier.

That looks lovely! Wish I’d kept my PB and certainly put Turini’s on it.
