What's the real reason for not laquering the strips then? Surely it can't be weight saving?

Pretty horrible looking really. Doesnt look very sporty :P

If your getting the wing and bumper sprayed, might be an idea to get the other wing done aswell so its all the same colour!

No laquer because it saves weight? Wtf.. Serious?

Bump! I've been having problems with this spart, its lose and when I try and tighten in, the whole metal bracket just bends and then the rubber pops out of the airbox. Any suggestions? Cheers!

How do you go abouing the ph1 to a Ph2?

What sand paper do you use with the B and D spanishbhoy?

Wish i saved a bit longer and bought a black 182 instead of a silver 172 :s Stunning!

Just looking through ebay and came accross this.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2005-55-RENAULTSPORT-CLIO-182-TROPHY-CAPSICUM-RED-RARE-RENAULT-SPORT-172-PX-/330688708834?_trksid=p3286.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D6444443864631872710 EDIT: sorry if...

Why does the cup have Fog lights. They must weigh a bit!

They are mintex discs and pads with the bearings and abs rings already fitted and pressed tony. Just for normal road use so mintex should be fine, so I've read! Some good advice, thanks Laine! Haha

Another thing, can you give me some infornmation on the ABS rings? Are they fitted to the disk itself or what? The disks I've ordered say they are already fitted. Thanks

Alright cheers matey! Appreciate your explanations :)

Sorry stevo but what does that mean? :o

Alight thanks lads!

Thanks for the replies boys. Can you tell me what size the hub nut is? 30 or 32mm? All I should need then really is a socket set aye? Thanks! Also, is the hub nut a left hand thread?

;) Sorry, I'm absolutely useless with mechanics, how do I get the calipers out of the way :o Thanks!

Bump.. I'm needing to chanhe my wheel bearings on the rear, I'm just wondering though. As above, is it just the one big nut holding the whole disk/bearing on? I've got a whole new kit ready pressed top go on. Is it just a case of pulling it off and putting the new one on? Thanks.

I get this aswell! Rather annoying but after reading this then ill try tightening it up tonight :)

172 needs both rear wheel bearings + discs and pads and abs rings.Heater module pack is goosed so the heating is on full power.Buckled alloy wheelSmashed foglight with smashed bulbNo sidelightsScuffed front and rear bumpersEngine mounts are shaggedAir con radiator thing is held up by cable ties...

What a minter! The best sleeper! How much have you spent on it Vicky?

Yeah looks good but as above, those stickers are chav

nevermind...

Let me know if you ever get anything sorted! I'd like to strip the clio but i dont want to do it unless ive got some sort of cover!

Car looks Ace. swap you 2003 172 :P

I'd have to say 7.5/10 for the 172. Bought it a few months ago for £1700 and ive spent £1400 in renault so far. Not the cars fault, Just belts etc etc. Ive got a few other bits to get done before i can say 10/10. but as for everything else, like getting 49mpg from a 2.0 16v hot hatch! Cant...
