Conclusion on this: Same car, just made to look cheap with crap stickers and a lairy paint job. Hold out for the 197 cup

Welcome to CS:)

This old chesnut Go to dealers and test drive both then make your mind up. Look out for the insurance though.....IIRC Type R is group 17;)

Yep....good to see insurance premiums high for young scrotes.....keeps them out of the good 172s

Greens are generally a good road pad

I always thought the yellows were a little too full on for normal road use. May try out a set of reds...just in the process of 'finishing off' my OE Renault pads at the moment.

Good pics Under seat would be better froma weight distribution point of view

How quickly do yellows chew your discs though? Worth thinking about....there's always a downside.

Cheaper up north then eh

That's pretty hardcore

That's one ugly steering wheel

I'll be going there in the Autumn to have my cambelt done....such an important job it'll be good to know it's done properly:)

Renault wanted over £600 for a cambelt change down my way.....now that is taking the piss!

Good news Always good to find an independent garage with someone you know there.....go there a few times and they'll look after the car:)

Have to agree...it's seems to have drifted into competition with the Megane which, at the moment I would choose over the 197. Megane 225 engine in the Clio would be a belter though:)

Steer clear of Japanese sports bikes...everything else on four wheels is okay though.

F**k I'll remember to give you a shout next time something breaks:)

Best bang for buck is the inlet manifold match....under £200 over here in GB:)

Reg and milage isn't everything....I'm sure there are 05 plate 182s which are more f**ked than some 52 plate 172s. With that in mind check it over fully and if it feels right just go for it and try and haggle the price down a bit.

I'd just find a complete OE airfeed with AV, take the Viper caf out and put it back to standard.

Reading that makes me angry...there's always some pricks out there who are intent of ruining what fun/nice objects other people have. I'd definately move...and then pop back to 'visit' the guy who lamped you:)

Simple...take the 17s off

Just another marketing ploy....the car isn't that much improved over the std one. TBH I'll be going down the Megane route if I'm buying another Renault.

I'm sure you could find and old airfeed....wouldn't Fred (Yozzasport) have some knocking about as I know how much he loves ripping the acoustic valve and all that out of 172s & 182s.

Good job....are the stickers an option? Hang on a minute....I think I'll just buy a normal one lol

That is pretty bad Not sure how much it's worth as I don't think it's to a lot of peoples tastes on here.

Bit of a waste of money just for the priviledge of owning a car with such a nasty paint job:(

Welcome to the forum

PMSL Black or silver only way to go Anyone who knows their cars will know the red calipers are not Brembos but crap renault 2 pots.

16s all the way
