Yep, if they're the phase 1 172 wheels. They'll look mega small though but good for tracking.

3/4 plate all the way for the front. Must be plain with a standard font though.

Mine are caked in brake dust at the mo' but I love the colour against my Iceburg. I'll get a pic' up in a second. Here you go, definately tempted to have mine done in a similar shade.

It was on about 6 months ago IIRC, I posted it originally. It had some strange Megane alloys on at the time I seem to recall. I can't quite understand how the car is still Cat' B if it has been re-shelled unless they kept the original cars ID. Strangely enough, the seller calls himslef Lucky...

I know, same engine as an XJ220. I used to have a GTI MPI but thats a different subject.

It has a Metro bonnet vent, the shame.

More money than I earn in ten years?

They wont last five minutes. Looks good though.

I find that if you drop a push pop into the fuel tank after each fill up, the added sugar in the combustion chamber creates a richer mixture which has a very similar effect to that of an Ecotek valve.

But a mk2 Clio has plastic front wings so it would be almost impossible to dent it.

Much prefer that to these G.A.F. bell mouths stuck all over the place. Subtle as you like.

Make your own. Get yourself a wiper surround, some fibreglass and some satin black paint. Job's a Carrot.

Old question I know but i've searched and can't find much. My dad's mate has leaking rear shocks on his 172. It is still under warranty but they have said they won't replace them. Am I correct in saying he simply needs to contact Renault UK and they will arrange with the dealer? Any help...

A dolly would be far to aggresive for PDR. They are excellent on damaged panels but they require the opposite side of the panel to be beaten which can lead to a distortion of the panel. Give various size spoons a go. My old boy managed to get three decent sized dents out of his Mazda 6 bonnet...

Looks great. I've never been a fan of the 182's lighter Xenon housings. I reckon the slighter darker 172 units would finish it off a treat.

The small rubber hose next to your finger should be connected to the acoustic valve you're refering to in the NSF wheel arch. As that pipe has been blocked off I would say your valve has been removed or maybe disabled. Jack the car up, remove the NSF wheel, unclip the arch liner and see...

Dont see why not. Mine did 179 and 158 with very similar mods.

Cheers Federico. Camber can't be adjusted without correction bolts though can it?

You need to give me a job Fred LOL. So do you have any toe figures/angles I can use fred? Ben

They try to pull outwards so running slight negative toe counters this giving perfectly aligned wheels when you accelerate?

Why is that? I know very little about this subject so just curious. Any figures mate so I can pass them onto the no doubt heavy handed gloit who will be checking the car. I've still yet to find anywhere in Leeds worth looking at.

Sorry to resurect this old chestnut. I've found the details of the 182 and phase 1 but not the phase 2 172. What would be the optimum setup considering I have Apex -40's? Ben

Excellent, cheers Dick. As said, it's not worth the risk in the wet but it's good to hear they are good in the dry when I like to 'open her up a little'.

So it's purely a noise issue? Everyone things I drive like a tool anyway so that may not be a problem.

Por que?

I don't shoe it in the dry so should be safe there. I just don't want anything dangerous as I've heard Yokos can catch you out. So you'd go for T1-R's over PE2's then Rex?

Any one done a direct comparison of Proxes Vs PE2's?

It looks and sounds like some c0ck in a knackered Golf driving far too quickly around a residential area. Doesn't look fast though.

Cheers Jooliana. Didn't spot that, 'tard. It's looking like Proxes, £46.50 vs £68.60 for the PE2's. That's more than a £40 difference just for 2.

I have a phase 2 172 which is currently on Apex -40's. My 2 front tyres are shot and the rears aren't far off either. Which tyres are the best VFM. I drive enthusiastically so need a decent level of grip without any traumas in the wet. I have been looking at Yoko' A539's, 195/45/16 with...
