Looks very agressive.....not sure about the bonnet though but if the vents have a purpose i.e to vent hot rad/IC air out of the engine bay then that's fair enough.

You can hacksaw through stubborn manifold/exhaust bolts to get them off if your very careful not to damage the thread. I had to do this when I put a new engine in my old 205GTi....sawed through them to make a groove then split them off using the head of a screwdriver. Wasn't easy but was a...

Must take a long time to get good at this...expensive if you get it wrong also

My 52 plate 172 did have the original exhaust on when I brought it a year ago and it looked okay. Still decided to replace it with something a bit more sporty & durable though and went for a K-tec Stealth.

NIce car....iceberg silver looks the business:)

Welcome to CS...enjoy the new car:)

Yeah...good exhausts:)

too true lol I think a lot of people on here need to take cold showers...far too many references to c**ks, fisting & anal :) Got to laugh at the text speak comment

Looks nice.....for something you don't see 95% of the time:)

I wouldn't of thought that it would put a strain on the engine....the rev limit is probably pretty conservative and when the fuelling is all matched so it doesn't run lead at the top end it's more than like;y to be fine.

Looks good in white with black rims Have to be done very well/professionally to look the buisness though

lol:)

I wouldn't buy an expensive diesel for work...just get a banger to rack up the miles on.

Love teh Trophy Recaros but just far too expensive:(

Nice one Strange coming from a Turbo to an NA engine but sure you'll get used to it:)

I'm moving into a new place next weekend and am keeping the 172 TBH it's a cheap car to run compared to my Subaru and I;m fortuanate not to owe anything on it. If it's a good car and causes you no problems then I'd be inclined to stick with it

Mmmm nice Bailey dump valve....that'll get you noticed

Forget all this s**t The only way to hear a good engine note is to buy something with a good V6/V8 under the bonnet.

It's a comfortable car as I have driven long distances without any problems but the seats should be lower

I like that...very purposeful/non chav:)

Good man

Agree I've only seen a couple for real and they are great looking cars...way, way better looks wise than anything Vauxhall or Ford have to offer

The driving position is one of the first things that pi**ed me off when I brought my 172...I kept trying to adjust the seat as low as it would go then I realised that was it:( Got used to it now so not so bothered but compared to an Elise it's like sitting on the roof!

Welcome to CS Plenty of 1.2 owners who can help you out on here:)

Magnex twin 3.5 is far too large for the little Renault....had one on mine for a week and it had to come off.

Tell me your joking Matt

Buy a FF and leave that low rent interior to the people with no taste;)

lol:)

I think people that know a bit about cars will know what a 172/182 is.....to them that will just look like a 172/182 with a bodykit on which IMO isn't good. I'm just being a bit cynical...just not keen on body kits really
