See to be honest, if i were you id buy a pre-owned model. I know women like it all shiny and new out the wrapper, thats all fine and dandy. Buy it off someone who has had the fun of listening to some salesman tosser who knows f**k all about cars and even less about when itll arrive, thus meaning...

The type R will lose money but it wont lose as much as that of a 172. If you look at a 2002/3 172, and a 2002/3 Type R the price diffrence will almost be £2000 or more obviously dependant on mileage and condition but there generally dearer and hold there value paticullarly well, its just the...

Hi guys right i have a Phase one 172. When i first start the car and pull away theres a noise that sounds like a vibration coming from what sounds like the suspension on the nearside, its only after the cars been started not after ive been driving it. If i turn the ignition off then on and...

I really wasnt sure about that coulour but i think i like it, colour code the bumps and get the callipers done yellow. Nice mate.

hahaha pmsl, this could go on and on and zzzzzzzz....

I can honestly say the only time i ever had to really slam the whole lot on was in my C2 GT when a most courtious woman driver pulled out from the hard shoulder to the fast lane doing less than 40mph... I f**king shat it slammed the whole lot on, irritatingly enough that activated the hazards...

I dont see what the issue is here there french cars they dont hold there value all that well anyway id never buy a new car regardless what it is because its gonna depreciate like f**k before its even kicked a ball

Boys dont hit the back of other cars whilst attempting to slam on the anchors lol

When you say day, you mean 2 weeks dont you? lol

Right jemma we have seen the car now lets see the driver... Oh, and welcome treacle ;)

Wind blows and itll dent the clio metals pish. Still good laugh in a car that weighs the same as a midgies nuts

Have you tried EuroCarparts? I swear by them!

Im not sure where one would aquire such a thing, i would have thought amazon would have manuals and what have you. I would have thought that there wouldnt be a specific haynes manual but it would just give you the 1998cc variant within it under "petrol" Im actualy looking for one myself truth...

As someone stated above mate i reckon that anyone that has just bought any 172 be it a phase one, FF, or Cup lets face it your not buying it to make money on it. I just bought mine for £3800 last month, new 7 years ago they were close to £15,000. If depreciation is a worry then i wouldnt...

haha,ofcourse your car will need done now as its nearly 5 years old (doesnt look it right enough!!!) I just got my cambelt and tensioners done from a mechanic (im not that clever when it comes to the nitty gritty but i do try) And he described it as nothing short of a nightmare, although i was...

Welcome mate you look very handy, im sure your advice will be most welcomed on here!

Amen brother:star:

Looked it myself but they were £475-00, for an upgrade of 10-12bhp:S

Lovley mate, not keen on the mirrors unless its an RS4

its got 3 pedals and a steering wheel.

Phase one ahoy, love it!

Pictures should seal it mate, also sounds like the guy that sold you its fulla shiit

Only 1,357 Phase ones registered in the UK? Surely there's more than that!

Natrually asspirated cars are hard to gain from without as someone said spending copious amounts of cash. Buy a turbo car if you want somthing quicker

Stock mate, out the factory wrapper, if you start talking modifying we will be here all f**king year talking about it

Im planning to get an EK9 next year and apparently its an insurance group 20, this isnt good, especially as i had inticipated it being cheaper than the 172 which its not lol Apparently insurance companies keep KY jelly in bulk stock for 21 year olds...

Im only messing bruv, nah seriously though would you consider getting them powder coated? Thats quite an easy fix to a great looking ride!

Not atall mate let us know how you get on!

Mmmmm thats a tough one, i couldnt answer that. On that note i wouldnt be tempted to hand over any more than £4700 if he doesnt know if its been done its basically the most important thing that a car needs regarding engine maintanence!

Shouldnt be a problem theres a few about!
