Myth, just phase 1 owners feeling inferior and having trouble dealing with the cars dodgy cosmetics lol

Had one on my old Renault 19 16v and it sounded good, rusted quite quickly though

lol @ mashing up valves

Stupid, that engine bay looks like a boy racers wet dream

Tell me about it...get owned by diesels daily in the 172:(

+1 All about being smooth which he's not Builds f**king great engines/cars though

This is silly but I might consider selling the RS now

Will end up getting w**ked by stone chips anyway so would just go with what you can get.

Get my 172 serviced yearly (oil, filter etc),do under 6k miles a year so don't see the point in changing oil at 6 month intervals

+1 Stupid colour for an area of a car which gets very dirty (unless cleaned on a regular basis)

Know what you mean, I saw a RB one parked up in Trowbridge last weekend and stopped to have a look, made my 172 look really rubbish lol

+1 Always really impressed with the 197 in red, just suits the car so much:D

Sports cat works fine without a remap ansd passes mot etc

As above. get the garage insurance to pay out Few weeks later a brink or two through the window could be done;)

Sounds great to me, getting a little tired of the noise/revvy engine of the172

Agree, utter gash on road cars

clean mine daily now as I have a bird nesting on the die of my house that s**ts on my car all the time:(

Definately nimbus or red

AA were good insuring my girlfriend when she started driving, worth a try

As above, quite a versatile & cheap performance car to run:D

+1

wheels & lowering a f**king joke....poop

Consistently getting over 30mpg at the moment and 40/45mpg acheivable on the motorway cruising steadily.

I've got a sports cat and that made the exhaust noticalbly louder than stock. Bet a full decat is very loud/droney

Stock setup mate, airbox has two ducts, a short one open which picks up cool air coming in from the grille area and the longer one with the acoustic valve fitted. Always very cool after a run so decided to leave in place

No problems either and with sports cat fitted

Good pics, black cars do look amazing when they are fully cleaned and polished up. Owned a couple of black cars and found them difficult to keep looking in good condition. Wouldn't own one again as I'm too lazy to clean my car once a week.

Re: Does anyonew call their car by a name?! lol I actually remember that show, f**king hilarous....think you can catch in on Sky now and again. Don't name my car anything though

172 for looks, 182 for handling (with cup packs)

I have both air ducts in place and after a good drive the airbox and inlet plenum are both very cool.
