You will get used to it. Mines got 85k on clock and compared to the BMW I had before with 130k on click it's like pressing down on a rock lol

Mines stiff... :p lol. It's smooth though! My 1.2 grande I had when I was 17 was the same and my mk1 1.8 16v's where both stiff as well... Think it's a Renault thing when they get a bit older.

Them gloves are epic... I hope they were a Christmas present and he was just genuinely cold..

Anyone dive a red/burgundy colour 172 with 182 wheels, twin exhaust and lowered slightly.. Parked up behind it the other night.

I prefer the 182 wheels but I also like the 172 wheels sprayed metallic black.

Ive been toying with the idea of doing my 172 roof and Mirrors.. Really like the look.. Car looks great btw... Where did you get the fogs?

Like said earlier of hey don't offer you a decent outcome then keep taking it back.. I'm sure given the chance they will fully sort the car... My grandad had a brand new clio 1.2 and he only uses it for driving to a field to walk his dog and once a year to travel to Blackpool for a weekend...

£5400 by any chance? Lol I'm 26 3NCB with Bell £450 on a 172 with mods declared.. And a no fault claim on record. However I still put my mum and dad on my insurance cos it still brings it down.. They never drive the car as they live 180 miles away but still worth the discount

Fantastic car... If you ever feel like just giving it away then you know where I am haha... I actually like the orange... Quite a fan of bright contrasting colours!!! :)

Mine was done 4k ago at 84k on the clock and done at 35k which is what the millage was when it hit its 5 year interval. I wouldn't risk it to be honest because I havent the first clue about changing an engine... Just out of interest how hard is it to do them on the sports? I've heard it's by...

Hahaha it cool how the beep tones vary with the difference in revs lol... I want one!! Haha

Alright dude! Put some pics up ;)

I had a 1.8 16v mk1 and it was lowered 100mm and it was absolutely awful for little dips in the road and speed bumps.. Had a 106GTI which was 60mm drop and that IMO wasn't too bad..

Hate parking like this

Love them!!

Haha has now.. Lol... I really like black wheels I saw this and really liked the wheels Is it anyones on here?

Well had that exhaust fitted last week and the xenon bulbs went so put some 6000k whites in instead on the 4300k ones just cos they have a slight tinge of blue.. Gonna get some sport lines on it I think next.... Wheels and bullets painted black.. Not sure whether to get the roof done black...

Thought I'd update with a couple of pictures... Just had it washed.. Comments welcome good or bad!! :)

Doubles as a shift light... Haha

And when they renew they ask why you spent all you time driving round the playground and parks hahahaha

Obviously did but misunderstood what he was getting at !?!?!?!?!?!

Is there no way to frig the smartbox? Ie take it out leave it at home lol at never left the drive in 5 years... Free insurance!! Lol

Agreed with this, had two of them little beasts one was a bag of s**t with a mega chav body kit and the other was mint had it lowered 100mm all round and it was pretty quick only thing that went wrong was the clutch cable snapped twice in six months and it had the turning circle of a jumbo jet!!

I went to a place in Lancaster and the standard ecu can be remapped but the reckon it will only get you 3 or 4 bhp extra. That's on a 172 ph2.

My mortgage is only £570 a month which is probably the same as yor insurance. Lol oh well I do agree it's your money do with what you like.. I know a lad who pays a similar amount on his insurance.. However is drives a 600bhp supra and he is 21. With 3 years no claims... But a clio 1*2 will...

You can put aftermarket ones in. Can get em on eBay for £35 from Japan. I had some in an old BMW they arnt great cos like said above they blind on comers. I used to get flashed all the time for em. Then when you angle them down they are too low for driving down unlit roads really.

Because it takes me back to my young days when all I had was little hatchbacks ie my 106GTI but now I have the sense to drive it with care and to look after it instead of abusing it every day of its poor life :) but the thing that I love most is when you hit 4000rpm in second gear!! Obviously...

Cheap gits... I bet they bought the screw driver to prize em off... Then realised it would have been cheaper to buy some

Mines got a couple of cracks on the welds at the minute, getting a new one this weekend but one is just before the cat and you can hear it piping like mad of you put your foot down... Sounds pretty cool but it needs to be stopped lol

Must have been eyeing them Up for a while though...
