some of the early Phase 2's have 52mm but 90% of them are 58mm inc my 02 plate car.
This is for Expressions and Dynamiques but i assume the authentique is the same
You do have heated mirrors mate, even the expressions have them, they come on when you put the heated rear window on.
The digital dials and new inlet manifold/throttle body came in mid 2004 when the Phase 3 was released (different front bumper, Grill, dials & inlet manifold)
Get a Ph1 so you cant use your bodykit....
The 172s get faster the more miles they have on them generally which is somthing to keep in mind, MK1 172 has as edde said the manual throttle body which makes it more responsive only thing i dont like about the MK1 172 is the dashboard.
personally...
Wouldnt be this problem all the 172/182 boys have with the engine knocking? (hits on the subframe i think) someone will be able to give you more info on this.
182 Trophy for sale right at the front between 2 scoobys! £14,000 they want for it i think, anyone from here that sold it? looks mint in the flesh but why would you want to sell it so soon?
id say if you can afford it, go for it because you still have a years warranty left on it if anything goes wrong.
Im going to be in the same boat as you, when i pass, 17 with 0 ncb. have you tried adding your mum or dad onto the policy too as a named driver, that brings the price down quite a...
lol the place is full of corsas and saxos!
that cool as f**k astra, is it the purple coloured coupe with big touring car spoiler or the light blue GSi turbo?
tells you your average speed, MPG, miles worth of petrol left in your tank and cant remember what else lol
yep standard alloys are fine for insurance, and if its a Phase 3 which came in in 2004 with the 172 style alloys in 15" they look good! (see my avitar <----)
What about a Integra Type R DC5? cheap to buy, alot cheaper to run, handles brilliant and still fast?
or if your doing loads of miles and want comfort but still want a load of grunt then a Megane 225 or Golf GTi
i remember when i got my hifi speakers (B&W DM601 S3) they didnt sound all that great at first then once they were worn in they sounded alot better.
The volume problem could be them needing amped, upgrading to speakers with a cross over is going to need more power to amplify them.
sunroof was standard yep, Dynamique+ was electric model (think i recall yours is a dyna+ harry?) hardly any of them going about, expression+ was the electric sunroof model too
EDIT: yep my mums extreme is terrible, its not a shiney finish thats left, worst in red or blue though, looks...

i had to use a hacksaw to get it off and then used a hammer to put it on and ended up knocking out the circlip holding on the gearstick and had to remove the exhaust then drop the gearstick down from underneath the car to sort it!
