    Detailed a Cooper S GP Works today

    That is clean but my god are they ghastly. Lots of stick on tat IMO. The skirts make it look like it has swollen lymph nodes like the bloke on Van Wilder. How much do you charge PB and where are you based?

    Clio 197 Recaro seats, can they be ordered?

    Are you simply trying to boost your post count? That is the third time you've posted the exact same statement. We know now.

    What would it take to fit Accord Type R (same as trophy?) seats into a 172?

    Apparently the Accord Type R seats are the same design as those in the Trophy. They can be picked up for peanuts in comparison. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HONDA-ACCORD-TYPE-R-RECARO-SEATS_W0QQitemZ140099021537QQcategoryZ10386QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Would the subframes simply unbolt allowing fitment...

    Number plate screw holes

    I filled with fibreglass then a skim of P38. I then masked and sprayed the entire recess to ensure good coverage. The overall colour match isn't brilliant but it isn't noticeable due to the recess.

    Performance cat

    You don't 'need' to drop the subframe but it would make life much easier. You have to contort and twist under the car to get the sockets onto the sprung bolts. It is also a 2 man job as someone will need to hold the bolt heads from the engine side of the car. I would say to set aside 2-2 1/2...

    Performance cat

    IMO a decat isn't an option on a 172 as it is such a nightmare to change come MOT time. It really is the most awkward, hateful job in the world. I'd hunt around for a cheap sports cat' then you don't have to worry about your MOT. My Janspeed 200 cell cat' was £50 ;)

    I've just had a quick look on the trader. You'll probably sell that just as easily on here for that price.

    172 Import - Selling problem URGENT Help please !

    He was happy to pay £5100 for the car as it stood. No aspect of the car has changed import or not so £5100 is still fair. Take it down to a nice and easy £5k or tell him to jog on.

    Spoiler

    Get yourself a Trophy/V6 spoiler. They're not as common as the Cup spoiler and they also use the original brake light. There's one on the 'bay at the mo'.

    Testing an ignition coil on an Alfa 147

    Cracking guys, something to go on there. I've got my eye a cheap coil on Ebay so will give that a crack along with the inspection of the coils for cracks. I'll give Mike a call as well tomorrow. Strange how I get more answers to the question on a Clio forum than I do on 2 Alfa forums. Out...

    Whats lower a Clio trophy, or a standard Mk2 172?

    It's not though. The springs are shorter but due to less weight it is actually higher.

    Repaired, Clayed and Polished - The results

    It certainly is mate, or a V6 item depending on your inclination. Hence the Silver 1.2 Trophy bit just to throw people off of the scent. I don't think the car has ever been clayed before. It wouldn't take anywhere near as long next time around. There appeared to be metal filings on the...

    Testing an ignition coil on an Alfa 147

    My girlfriends Alfa has always had a nagging little misfire at very low rev's. I have replaced all 8 spark plugs and cleaned the coil terminals which initially cured the problem but it has since returned. I have now come to the conclusion that a coil is breaking down. Is there any way of...

    The front plate is a 3/4 item, can be ordered from fancyplates.com for around £16.00 IIRC.

    oIL LEAK- HOW MUCH?

    Why is that? Surely you only need to remove the plenum and inlet and you have full access to the rocker cover.

    ph1 vs ph2 172 tailgate

    Exactly the same mate other than the lock surround. The phase 1 has a small surround incorporating the lock. The phase 2 has a larger surround with a Renault diamond push button instead of the lock.
