Welcome mate. In honesty I'd enjoy the car for the time being, and save for a 172 or 182. However the other side of me says yes go for a 172 bumper, being pearl black you should be able to get bumpers etc in your colour. Many people have fitted the front bumper without the wings and skirts etc...

Definately another vote for lg

It looks like the concept of the twingo rs, that had a strip of colour on each wheel. I like it, go for it!!

Very nice mate, love a nice ph1 and this looks epic.

Is this a 2.0 138bhp? Nice mate, like the black on black. What other mods have you got planned?

I believe the manifold is one of if not th e only reason the 182 is 'more' powerful than the 172. Might be wrong though. Definately worth it as you've got the engine out. They are cheap too.

But in reply to your question yes, standard 172 box with a foam filter (piperx or itg) will sound louder. Leave the two pipes off and see.

Welcome back. That's quite a collection and I'm a little jealous if I'm honest. ;) As above, get some pics up!

The springs are a ball ache to fit (fronts anyway) but the tears are easy. I managed all of mine on my own but I had access to the tools needed. It was done on axle stands though so if you've got the tools and follow the guides on here it isn't that bad. Seriously if I did it, a blind panda can...

Gutting, what happened?

That was a really interesting watch. Look forward to the next.

I agree. Try Twitter, speak to them about it via dm, they may be more inclined to help you if they think you'll tweet how bad the service is. That price for extra data is like going back a few years.

I think you've found the salesperson you dealt with, disgruntled at the complaint you made.... Lol

If you were nearer I'd pay you to do my wheels bud, really good job you've done there!

Brilliant work! Car looks completely different in yellow too. Is that a red escort cosworth I spot in the background?

I'm very suprised this hasn't been done already. I toyed with the idea back when I had money, but didn't have the ability to do it myself so left it. I reckon it would look good though on coilovers but put some 182 wheels on too.

Welcome. On the centre section I had a pipe put into mine when I had it, cost £40 from an exhaust place (not powerflow) so shop about. Welcome to the club, you'll love it. I miss my 182 all the time.

Good progress and some nice bits. Quite like the camo wrap, did you put the wing on in the end?

What a fun read mate. Love what you've done to it, really is a credit to you. Sensible people (not me) would say don't waste your money but when you've got a finished product like this how can you not? Keep us informed with any other updates.

Wait for the new Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio?

The fiat t-jet is a 1.4 turbo and in esseesse form is 180bhp, with a decent remap over 200 is possible...

Nice mate. Get some plain standard plates off eBay for about £10 a pair. Then maybe have a go at colour coding, you'd be amazed at the difference that makes even on a black Clio.

Ahh campovolo grey, very very nice colour! I agree the more I look at them the more I like the colour on the wheels. If you'd had the car sprayed in this colour, complete win!!

Looks a good job, what colour is it? It's nice but if I'm critical they look half done, ie primer'd and left.

My 1.2 16v was pretty much ragged around constantly and back then I didn't service it properly. I think the most I did was top the oil up, never changed it and I had it 3 years and did about 25k miles but it never missed a beat. The 1.2 16v engine is quite a resilient engine so I'm led to...

Miss mine, love petrol blue. Such a dividing colour but looks great imo

Great write up, awesome pictures and great memories for you both. I'd love to do a similar trip but to family in Malta, but I don't think I'd be allowed to subject her to my driving to the ring too. I also ask the above question re cost too please.

As above, any windscreen fitters on here give a rough price to remove a rear bonded screen and fit another one please? Just looking at options, thanks

I just got download of 48mbps and upload of 12mbps. That's 8 times faster than my wifi!!! :(

I agree with N4th4n, it sounds alright to me. I'm guessing that the farm buildings aren't helping show the sound properly either. I would be in no rush to change it, if you do get stopped, then just get a silencer or cat out in.
