dead easy way to do it in all honesty. i looked into wiper based solutions, but really couldnt be arsed with them

pretty much yeah. just need new brake lines iirc. so swap to braided while your at it.

^ you can polish them out, but if you dont remove the insulation they'll just come back. my insulation is really loose on my bonnet, so my try sticking it on better, or just scrap it in favour of the dynamat stuff.

all 172's etc. have rear discs, and selected 1.6 16v's had rear discs. look wise i really wouldnt bother, and they dont add anything to the stopping power of the vehicle. you'll need the entire new rear axle which matt black was selling for £250 + vat i think.

cant see anything wrong with the K&N panel filter myself had one on my 1.2 16v and was impressed, which is why ive opted for one for my 172.

needs lowering and tyre gelling and will look much better. quite like these alloys in real life myself.

trophy wheels are effectively turinis. but i dont think the centre caps are interchangeable. i.e. speedline turinis wont accept renault turini centre caps as i was told they're a slightly different fitment. but im not 100% positive on that.

mine was done in about 30 or so mins and charged me 40quids. then again if its the first mot for the car, they know its gonna be pretty sound so only really need to check the wear and tear components. if they give you a certificate then who cares ;)

only problem ive had is when i did makavellis. his bonnet insulation was loose and rubbed on the engine cover whilst driving and the 'fluff' off it stuck to the lacquer. suppose if we'd have left it longer to fully cure then it wouldnt have been a problem. but he solved it by scrapping the...

best trying to buy some from a renault dealer, who will agree to post them. otherwise try renault part suppliers. i got quoted GBP15 each for some from my local renault.

makavelli is around your age albeit with 4years NCB and isnt paying much more for a 182. get it swapped over matey ;)

ben p was paying around 3k when he was 18 under his own name. ive got no NCB and could only really afford one when i hit 20/21. paying 1200 with mods declared now, but when i was under 21 most companies just refused to insure me

seen this on loads of astras / saxos and not a fan tbh

will be changing mine soon, but only to prevent further wear and tear from old / crappy fluid. asked edde what sort of different it would make, and he likened it to 'stopping it feeling like your stirring a pot of treacle' quite apt i reckon. probably worth changing it over before going onto...

yellow and blue looks the nuts, get it done!

^ just to add these are definatly discontinued and you cant get a set new from anywhere.... i did try :(

dont u dare sell em now, i've just booked my 15s in for a refurb and would have snapped your hand off for these. How much just out of interest?

I've had the same problemt with my new car, never had any problem with flies on my old black one but this ones covered in em constantly. Cars looking ace btw :)

all in good time ;) pics like that really do make me want to get it done but unfortunately got more pressing things to sort first. like finding some airbox clips ffs LMAO

yeah you can use them and they should be alright. i know loads on puntosports are fine with them, although you really shouldnt fit them ...

polished bits look the nuts!

I spoke to lots of people about a new manifold and theres no point whatsoever, as they already have the optimum design of manifold. I had my induction kit behind the grille and the original poistion felt much better imo.

thats why your cars so damned sexy ;)

viper you can pick up for around the 200 mark from 2modified.com, samco elbow was 30 quid (much cheaper alternatives out there though) and the stainless bend was free from powerflow lol. If you want noise however go for an open induction like a pipercross vector from roughly around 60ish...

My viper made a huge difference on my 1.2, when i took it off it felt as slow as shite. Custom feed was too the original location

might be worth trying some of these.... http://www.kellysearch.co.uk/gb-product-128865.html

quite like them, should look good on a silver car

isnt there a company which chrome plates plastic? cant remember who it was though

^ now i'd disagree with that, i'd say the best part of ph1 is the front end, and the best part of the ph2 is the rear, imo the ph1 looks more agressive from the front, the lights also look better

^ you know how to bring a man down dont u :rasp:
