Have you got an address for your mates powdercoating business?
I live down the road in Bath and am looking for someone to refurb/respray the wheels on my 172.
Car looks great by the way:)
Yeah..the CTR does seem to hold it's value better than the Clio...most of the cheaper CTRs I looked ate weren't great either.
TbH I think you have to spend 9/10k to get a decent one
I'm not slating it...I was merely making an observation which is that there are lots more CTRs around in my area than Clios. period.
I think it's a great car with a cracking engine...I just didn't buy one as I wasn't too keen on the powerband.
Welcome to CS
I'm not into cars in the same way as some of the geeks on here but this place sure is amusing sometimes and worth visiting for that alone:)
Looking to get my Mk2 172 wheels refurbed in the new year.
Does anyone know of a good place in the south west (Bath, Bristol) area where I can get this done?
Cheers
That's not a bad idea
My emissions light has been on for a month or so and TBH I have got used to it but if I came to sell the car I'd like it to be off/not visible.
Nonsense really
It's not as if Renault have fitted it with massive spoilers everywhere etc...it's actually still pretty stealth.
I've seen far more Golf GTis around my way than 197s and 172s/182s out together so I don't know what he's on about there either.
Welcome to CS
Good cars the 172s & 182s but I do think build quality and reliablilty differ a lot from car to car....just got to find a good one.
Quite easy to live with and surprisingly economical when you need them to be plus cheap on insurance:)
I always thought Shell Helix Ultra was fully synthetic.....it's what it says on the tin anyway.
Used to use it in my WRX without any problems but with my 24k service coming up I may try Silkolene 5/40w
I have a K-tec Stealth and am pretty happy with it.
I'm sure you'll get lots of reccomendations for lots of different exhausts etc....do a search on exhausts and you'll get loads of threads come up worth reading.
