not a direct swap iirc. my local bodyshop wouldnt swap some for me anyway without cutting into the loom directly and running an upgraded spur. does the 200 include all the relevant charger packs? and how'd you know the bulbs still work lol

spark plugs ;) go get it CLiP'd to diagnose the fault. if its mechanically standard and within warranty its covered FOC. otherwise it'll be 70ish from renault, or 25 from independent garage.

ditto that. its sitting really nicely now matey :)

starting to think you spend more time on here than me john lol

i had this fault the other week and assumed it was due to my sports cat. took the car down to my local renault specialist who performed a CLiP test and it was diagnosed as a miss-fire (caused by a knackered spark-plug) shoved a new set of plugs in, and then resetted the ecu and its as good...

those are the pics i had to work with, cant enlarge em or they'll loose resolution ;)

just posting a couple of pics up for austen, new member from loughborough area :) dunno if many people are around there, if anyone is let him know about meets etc, cos i'm a bit far a field.

looks nice and clean. Iw ouldnt over do it too much, i think colour coding will make the biggest difference, but your getting that done so alls good :)

e-mail the seller and explain your situation, not sure if you can retract your own bid?

i had the fixed red kit and was very good. Didint give much of a drop, but ride was better than standard, and turn in was a bit sharper. I was talking to ben off here who has a 172 cup, with eibach pro springs and koni yellow dampers and he loved that set up.

dont think anyone could argue that cupras or ctrs are better cars than the 172, build quality and reliability etc. you could go on forever saying your not gonna modify this and that, and saving money but u'd go on forever and end up buying an enzo cos theres no cars left. I have nothing against...

no probs mate, just took me by surprise as it was so long ago. think i can remember the plate, so if i see you round ill be sure to give you a flash (non-sexual lol) should be back on the road on friday :)

isnt vinnys stuff all for the mk2 ph1? think Has has covered everything there is to say lol! has - get your front finished pronto as i wanna see pics. hopefully the splitter wont fit, in which case i know someone who wants it ;)

lol i always find money somewhere *coughs* student loan *coughs* seriously i white refurb sounds good, white always looks nice against blue

well its going to cost someone 40-45 quid to get it powder coated - assuming the other 3 are - to match. 4 generally sell for around the 250mark with ok tyres. 200max i'd say, but this would depend on whether you have new tyres, or no tyres at all.

so you shouldnt spend money on say a renault 5 gtt or something similar? not everyone can afford a 172, and not everybody would want too

tough one, if you only had three silvers i'd say sell them on ebay for spares prob looking at 50 quid a piece with tyres. Cos they're black obviously couldnt do that so i'd be lokoing into getting the fourth refurbed or selling em to someone as a project

why do people buy 172s and mod them when they could have saved up and bought a cupra or a CTR? not everyone needs to follow the crowd. If i was you mate, i'd get those white willy wheels you were on bout getting would look proper nice :)

i've only dealt with k-tec on a few occassions but they managed to send me a grille which was illegally advertised as ms designs, and they then sent me an "ms designs style" grille which isnt the same at all. the carbon door pillars dont have the badge on as shown on the website then they...

^ or a dremel?

lol - took you long enough to reply

peanuts ?? :S

no idea how to clean it, might be better to polish it. would look very nice :)

nice splitter. flip it upside down, cut in half and wala! unfortunately someone had curbed my splitter a few times ;) have shaved it down a bit since these photos to enable me to reverse it onto ramps at the garage lol. also sprayed it matt black for the subtle look...

i actually really like it as its different i wouldnt remove it because of what people on here say

good excuse to get a carbon one andy, and let me have your damaged one. im sure i could fibreglass it from the back and shove it on mine ;)

did you not find them expensive? i found i could have my wheel fully refurbed for less than what chips away wanted

women - they should know their place. was it a 4x4 *sighs*

i assume you pushed it off a cliff and watched the speedo for it to get to 115 lol i could get my speedo to say 120, but we both know it wouldnt actually be 120.

why not try taking it back to renault as you could have a go at arguing your paintwork warranty. think its 5/6 years? if the rest of the car is mint, then you've got a good chance. otherwise, as you say - go a local bodyshop
