Looks like it can be done, found pics of ash_172's car Not 100% sure I like it on that side for some reason and don't know if he had to sort the holes first because I agree they're not small! I'll nab my sisters hairdryer when she's not looking then and I have floss so will give it a...

Just seen this mate, looking good so far! The wheels really suit it too. Any idea on how light weight that's going to be when you've finished with it?

Some great shots, the locations look fantastic. Not keen on the wheels and Alpine stickers, but the bird wasn't too bad though ;) Not keen on the "bird" AndyRS posted! But that thread was hilarious!

Good to know as I was thinking of doing the same. Is it possible to cover the Clio badge holes with the new rs badge? And will a hair dryer work instead of a heat gun?

Had a lot of problems doing my mates 3g on 3.1.2. Followed this guide with this comment quoted from page 2 of the comments. And it worked first time. We also killed any itunes/apple services running in task manager first too and think he moved the blackra1n.exe file to the C drive, ie. in no...

Cheers. I want a job in an F1 team, would be a dream.

You star, cheers buddy! Doesn't sound too bad, I remember seeing some of the screws you've mentioned. Just hope I'll be able to put it all back together! Don't have to worry about the alarm switch as mine is aftermarket and out of the way. Will have to give the grill spraying a go then, it...

lol awesome! Any difference between the guys in black and those in white?

I'd normally run a 2psi difference or more if back end is stripped. I find even small differences make quite a difference in handling for me.

Mine were filed down a LOT all round the backing plate edges on two of the pads, and a fair amount on the other two to fit properly and copper greased (thanks JMS :o) and they have never made any noise at all when not applied. Only a bit of squealing when cold AND applied, but that's expected of...

Oh thought they were less out of the dash than that, but not been in my ph1 for a long time so don't remember.

Oh right, I see. Any way to sink the buttons in a bit so they're a bit less obvious?

Lightweight do make a massive difference, and 15" tyres will save you some money! The 1.2s in white or black would suit well IMO, not sure on the white with blue lip. Might be common, but its obviously for a reason. What happened to your turinis? What you got on at the moment?

Interesting choice of wheels! They all lightweight? Sorry can't help with pics unless you want my best efforts with MS Paint lol

That's mine! Glad its liked lol Standard 172 wheels in silver really do suit the car, probably more than any other colour clio IMO. Although hopefully next week, I'll be rolling on some new ones! 172 wheels normally go for a decent price too mate, good option IMO.

I'm loving more of this mate but really confused what bit that big one is! So you've got a ph2 dash and the right small piece is where the hazard button is on the ph2, but as wiring is so different you're leaving the hazard and lock button near the gearstick like on the ph1?

Good big clean mate! I want to spray my grills and fogs black too. Do you have to take the bumper off and are the screws easy enough to get at?

That looks stunning mate! I want one!

For 205 width, that'd be a great price! I got mine for £80 each but only through a big work discount, was quoted £100 minimum elsewhere.

PB 182 looking beautiful around Ascot Oriental/Cheapside junction 6pm-ish today. Saner? Black Gold 182 passing Ascot Racecourse around 6 again.

Didn't know the answer till I read rich-6's post lol never thought about it before because they said there would be no admin fees anyway.

Adrian flux didn't charge me any admin fee for declaring any mods. Just rang them up and they updated the system. I requested an email of the updated policy as my piece of mind that the changes have gone through as they don't send any update through the post.

Not sure what my part number was, but JMS had to file a lot off two of the pads (either the ones in the outer holder or inner, can't remember one was bigger than the other). A fair bit had to come off around the edges of the backing plate for them to fit, sandpaper won't cut it, using a file was...

Yup, I know someone who has had some tasty payouts this year for what I think was minimal pain. Easy way to get money now days unfortunately, not sure how you can prove against it.

I'd have thought it'd be a very rare case in which he or the company fixing it would admit to asking for more money than necessary if that is what they've done and then refunding the insurance company, so you can pay less. I'd have thought they were happy the guy didn't claim to be sitting in...

Impressed with mine, Alpine CDE-104BTi. £190 with full iPod/iPhone control and charging. Look in discounts page for free delivery from car audio direct IIRC, worked out cheapest from them this way. iPhone/iPod control is excellent, just like going through it on the thing itself. Hit one button...

Never modded a car before my 172 as didn't feel it was worth it. The mods to my 172 have improved it a lot over what I thought was already a good car as standard. My current and future mods are really only to increase overall performance because I want to take it on track and potentially keep...

Nice pics. Must have been a good day. Love the plate!

Yeah I know, but also because as said it near 50:50 weight distribution and set up, it'd be pretty impossible if even possible at all I'd have thought, hence something else.

Maybe lower engine mount bushes? Had this changed on my 172 and so much easier to engage 3rd now and reverse.
