I'm going to say this (and I desperately need to do the same) but clean plates would make a massive difference. As I say not a dig, just a note. (And a kick up my own arse to do the same, although my rear one doesn't show the reg clearly if I take a picture with a flash so... ;) )

Congratulations mate!!

Oh right, unless it was built and then sat for a bit, I'm sure late 2003 build onwards had cruise/esp. Might be wrong though, wouldn't be the first time! ;)

Was yours an import @LeeRS ?

Coming on nicely. Might have missed it but we're the discs shot or you just wanted new ones on there? Looked ok in the photos on my phone. Brave man working in the cold, I'd of stayed inside!!

Ahh my bad. Get that removed, Fred stated in his report that it wouldn't take much to remove it (get a specialist to do it) If your South Wales im sure there's a specialist in Bristol or somewhere like that that you can take it to. Don't take it Renault they probably won't even know what model...

If it were me, I'd kick myself and then just cherish it and enjoy it and make a good car of it. We've all bought cars that have shown faults or more faults than initially thought. Has the clutch thing been removed now?

I'll answer before you get told to search, although there is a good guide in the guides section about differences if you search :wink: A late 2003-04 172 will have cruise control yes, earlier than that won't. K-tec do a 182 style exhaust or a custom place would fabricate you one and a 182 rear...

Beautiful!

Ah right, might have to copy you then when it warms up. Makes such a difference to the engine!

Was illiad blue an I.d option? Lovely car but the price?

Wow!! That looks so much better than when you got it. Wish mine would shine like that. :(

What did you use in the rocker cover, brush on vht? Looks really good!

PH2 is the best I know it's not true but saves me being sad that I didn't get a PH1. :(

Looks good. I love the yellow Rev counter. I wanted to do this to my 182 but couldn't find any easy way to do it. I wanted to do it more like the 200 Rev counter with the black centre but no one could print one accurately. I want to do it now though to my 172!! I'm guessing you bought a...

Not bad for the price mate, most things won't cost a lot to fix I imagine. Airbag lights could be wiring under passenger seat, give them a wiggle etc.

Could be, could also be tyres if they are unevenly worn or cheap.

Very nice. How do you find the dogbone mount? As its a complete reworking of the original, as opposed to the bushes being changed in the standard mount.

Bargain then mate. I didn't go see it although it was local but did 'look' at it online. Lovely colour. I ended up with a silver one. What plans you got for it?

And if it's the gear insert I have one for sale from mine, it's pretty much perfect!!

Is this the one that was advertised with no mot? Looks a good buy, I was tempted to see it but the mot issue put me off. How did it fair on the mot?

Spotted a blue 182 heading towards Huntington this morning and an immaculate flamer 172 in hednesford this morning. Really looked clean.

Right thank you for the reply. I did think that they would sit the same although I'm sure the cup 172 is meant to be slightly lower than a std 172. Hence me thinking that the complete set up would sit lower and be stiffer too. I know with my 182 I fitted 182 cup springs and it did lower it...

Anyone done this change?

There is a place in Birmingham which do them for £20 per wheel, but usually anything from £20-£60 per wheel. Although if it's black you want and your handy with a spray can you could do them yourself easily.

eBay or become a member on here for £12 (best £12 you'll spend regards your Clio) and they pop up in the for sale section. They are a nice alloy but standard they only came silver or anthracite. Can be easily sprayed though.

Thank you!! Yes it's made the dash a much nicer place, never been a fan of aftermarket stereos.

In my quest to get the car to oem standard, I have fitted a phase 1 airbox, with panel filter, purchased from @ashley_t , and with much thanks to @Martin J a standard cabasse stereo. Never been a fan of aftermarket stereos so that was a much needed change. Still et to diagnose the abs serv and...
