I had my windscreen replaced feb 2008 (zone A chip would not have passed an MOT), then noticed for several weeks a howling/whistle/resonating noise at 60-80 mph.......took it back (RAC windscreens) they rebonded the glass, not a whisper since!
The noise I had was quite loud and noticable, not...
Looks very smart fella!
I've pondered with the idea of fitting white SMDs and then applying enamel/glass paint to the underside of the gauges so different parts light up different colours.
I would like to keep the red needles, with white numbers, blue 'notches' round all the dials. Then can...
Love your car fella, liking the non-sport colour, very smart!
I have a set of Thule roof bars but much prefer yours.....swap lol?? Used to do a lot of Surfing down Perranporth direction but dont get the time now with work etc, would love to get back into it!!
Lol, i only just got a chance to respond, thought i'd do a proper job at it!
All the guys where I work like the side stickers......will give it a couple of months and see how i feel!
OMP full sized....hmm, I did like the idea of the ktec one to retain use of the rear seats......i dont have...
Aww, that was the look I was going for too! :rasp: lol
Still loads to do, I just couldnt resist applying them tbh, I think the main Clio Cup stripe will look good, I'm still undecided about the side decals....I think with more 'going on', once more have been applied, it wont look so 'chav' as...
Uhh.......its work in progress.....
And when I have the best part of a thousand pounds laying around, (I want some decent coilovers not the cheapest available) they'll be the next additions. My Recaro Apex just set me back £335, and I still have to buy the subframe........
Guys.....been a while since I uploaded some pics of my Cup, I have made a few noticeable visual additions.....with a few more to come. After seeing a lot of Clio Cup and R3 cars with their track stickers on show I decided I wanted to add some to my car.
I still have to add the Clio Cup...
Fuel cost per month for me is about £200, 14.8% of my wages....lol
I pay tax and insurance annually, but monthly it would work out to be about £70 or 5%
Then, for example in the last year, I have spent at least £2000 on mod parts, new alloys, tyres, brakes, exhaust parts, then cosmetic costs...
(BTW Info in BLUE below is take from websites, black are my comments)
I have been told inconsistantly by many insurers (including one source of information being my ex-girlfriend who is an insurance broker with access to the insurance databases and information) that the 172 Cup can be a Group...
Have a word with Steve79 on here, he breaks loads of RSs and often has breaking threads in the 'parts for sale section' so chances are he'll have what you need.......think he owns/works for a scrappy that get in lots of RSs.
I've had quite a few bits off him, he posts stuff quickly and he's...
You'll find over the next couple of months they will settle and drop slightly more, when I first fitted mine I was a little unhappy with the drop but they are great now. Handling/ride is much improved too over standard!
Guess FFs are heavier too ;)
Any chance of an name/email address.......there is money in my pocket burning a hole? :S I'm not on MS what with a Cup, but I could join up swiftish as a forum user if needs be.......
Saw your car fella, didnt realise it was you till i'd walked off........the green vinyl on the front wing......is that an 'oops' repair? Car looks great!
Will post my pics from the day when I've downloaded my camera tonight!
Was a bit miffed, tried to find a RWS sticker, you know the little...
Please elaborate......:D:D:D
......are you saying £30ish per alloy I'm assuming? I'd buy some for my 172 and get some 4-5 stud adaptors for that price.......
Re: spotted with pic
They had some to buy at the FCS I spotted and was intruiged by, bit like VW surrounds with white text on but these are a smaller one that is stuck on the back of the plate and hangs down with 'Renault Sport' text logos etc.......
Could also be a plate extention with the...
My cup has a squeekyish highpiched on/off noise that comes from the belt side of the engine, which is down to the aux belt and the wheels it drives, has done it since I bought the car and never had an issue........I think its fairly common noise, all the ones I ever test drove before getting...
Take a peek on the download page.........this has appeared ('Done' as Henk said at 15:08):

Thanks Henk!
Some of the other 172 vs Cup threads go the same route, becomes a heated debate lol
I can see the pros & cons of both sides, for me a Cup was the right choice, for Joe Bloggs it might not be.......everybody is the same in one way, we are all unique!
I was using humor too btw ;)........some of...
