no, the centres around the centre cap were polished, the rest silver i think, not 100% sure if im honest!
i think ill 100% decide once i have finished prep'ing them, but any ideas would be good??
my mates corsa did that, and he snapped the end of his spanner off undoing his bolts, but the jack and stuff in my car seems fairly good quality to be honest, all worksd easily and very solid!
did your fall off with wheel on or off?
got the tyres in my room, proxes t1-r's, just waiting to put them on till ive finished them, was just bored so i thought i'd wack one on the car just to see how it looked!!
i was under the impression the 172 bumper is wider, and the arches are flared more, so there will be abig gap, unless you can bend out the orginal wings to suit??
just wacked one on to fight the boredom, put my dynamique centre caps on and think it looks pretty good with the diamond on, im thinking of leaving the caps silver, polishing the lip and the rest black, any ideas??
i understand what you are saying JPandDeb, however i understand everyone else's points of view aswell,
i get annoyed when people tar me with being a bad driver because i am 17(18 tomorrow :D), i have been driving for 10 months with my liscence, and have experience of cars off road/private...
car looks awesome mate, love the mods you've done to it, really improve the look of the car!
post up some more pics with the engine bay done after your mods!
awesome mate, i know the feeling when i went to pick up my first car, i was so happy!
best feeling in the world getting the keys and driving off in it, hope you enjoy it as much as i did mine!get some pics up!
they are!
i know people with 172/182's probably wont realise, but 1.2's are awesome cars, fair enough they maybe slower, but just means more fun can be had to the speedlimit, i love taking my car right to the high rev range, and i know that all the way through third im still pretty much legal...
gav, wanna do me a photoshop?!
if i were you mate put it back to standard and just personalise it a bit, like gv showed, smooth it and lower it, clio's dont look good modified unless £k's are spent in my opinion.
thing is most alloys are silver, and just want my car to be a bit different, today i thought about gun-metal with a polished lip??
if anyone fancies doing a photoshop then please do!
not really noticed it, normally let the car warm up before going anywhere, just recently seems to be a bit lumpy like i said, its fine in 2nd to 5th and reverse, just first seems to stick and have 3 'stages' before it clicks in properly.
your 45miles from me,i'll probably be giving you a pm...
right, because my car has a 2 year service interval im thinking about getting the oil and filter changed,\and the fuel filter done aswel, what kind of price should i be looking at for some decent oil?
its a 2004 1.2 16v dynamique, i want some decent oil in it aswell, any opinions on whats...
right, had a stab at the wheels earlier, im thinking definately a polished lip, but not sure what colour to go for...any ideas people, thought i would have more interest in this!!!
keep it like that mate, looks the dogs.
or you could get some coilovers and go for an 80mm frop, and get some dynamique alloys which are the same as the 172's but 15" not 16"
the bolts go throught to the underside of the car, and rust a bit on the threads, just wackm on a load of wd40 and ease them forwards and backwards to loosen them up.
also, the left hand bolt when stood at the rear of the car in mine was at an angle, so make sure your socket/spanner is on...
i payed £1800 for my first policy with norwhich union at 17 for 8 months, then renewed at £1050 other month, thats with 1 ncb still at 17 currently.
i had quote of up to £4500 when i went for my first policy when i was shopping around, i did manage to get one for about £1250 with no ncb, but...
saw a mk2 ph1 172 today, was in a wierd green colour that i havent seen before and had '250' underneath the clio badge, was this an exclusive?
didnt like the colour at all, thought it would be something a bit more special!
