    Sooo Tempted to buy a 172

    FLOL ! 1k in repairs. Buy on condition. Buy one with long MOT, and a recent timing/aux belt done. If not, look for at least £500 off the asking price. I had a ph1 for 2 years and aside from a fresh set of tyres when I powdercoated the wheels, I don't think I spent anything on it due to...

    Getting the renault logo badge off?

    There's 6 of them on the outside of the car .. which one are you on about ?

    GiraffeSport 172 Monaco

    Tax and MOT arrived this morning .. new plates from fancyplates the other day ( I assumed I'd be getting the same plate back ! :o ) as the originals were tatty and had holes in them. New plates + velcro FTW ! Just got to wait for V5 then the new owner can pick it up !! Hopefully some...

    looking to upgrade to a newer clio?

    I'd be buying a dCi 80 / 100 .. find one with the specs required .. CD player, a/c etc .... job done. Don't get one with a sunroof !!!!!!

    thinking of selling.

    Put it for sale on PH/AT/CS .. if it sells, it's some money in your pocket. If it doesn't .. relist until it does, or you decide to keep it..!

    1.5 Dci 65bhp MPG?

    I'd say that was alright, unless all you're doing is 55mph motorway runs.... It's not a very powerful engine, so will need some effort to get going, same reason 1.2's are bad on fuel if you drive them like a 172 ! Wish my car did 55mpg.. I'd be happy haha !

    Oil Burner

    BOOST FTW ! IIRC these came witha kick up the backside in one massive lump at about 2.5k RPM ? Dad had the 'sedan' version.. I loved that car ! I still think these don't really look too dated on the outside... maybe it's just me. Looks like a tidy example :)

    Just a few pics

    That is one tidy looking car .. (ignoring the exhaust and the cracked wing, which I assume is now fixed ?) Just some friendly advice... Leave it standard, save your cash, keep it mint and buy something else in a year or so when you've got some NCB behind you. If you're having to save...

    Deleting aircondition system on 172 ph1 is it worth it??

    No air-con in the Med ? You must be crazy ! I don't like having no air-con in the UK.... Take the back seats out .. or lose a few Kgs yourself ;) Probably just as noticeable. /cynic

    Electrical query

    You can get a soldering iron from Maplin for ~£10.

    how to attach mud flaps!

    You think that they will protect your wheels ?! Better off putting a binbag over each wheel. Probably best to use those rubble sacks from B&Q as they are a bit sturdier. Failing that, get the bus.

    Which wheels for the 7?

    Minilites, 13", R888s ... Spanking :-D PS: Are you on BlatChat yet dude ?

    Flyer Feedback

    I'm very tired, and very childish, and also an idiot... I read "EskimoFit" and started laughing. Once I read the rest, all I can think of whilst reading (NB: the above) is the wacky waving inflatable arm sketch from Family Guy. Sorry !

    clio 5 door with...wait for it....a spoiler.... thoughts?

    Spoiler .. er .. spoils it. Wheels are too close a colour to the bodywork so it clashes. Contrast or matching is best to look at. Also, why did you remove your number plate from the pictures ? Do you drive around with them in the boot so no one can write it down ?!

    Unbelievable insurance price on 172!!! Advice needed!

    Ask them for a price at renewal time....? Make sure the excess hasn't gone into orbit. When renewal time comes, call sky, brentcare and greenlight before you call anyone else.....

    What about a 2 sided flyer ? Simple info on one side, waffle on the other if the viewer is still interested...

    Flyer Feedback

    Waaaaaaay too much waffle. I got bored before the white box. Keep it simple ! Straight to the point. Interesting, informative and easy to absorb. Also - is this in your garage ? Why is there only a mobile number ? /miserableclunge Good luck !!!

    The "Ive taken a pic and I kinda like it" thread

    Just been taking the Yozza off the Clio, and thought 'that'll make an interesting shot' ... probably just me haha ! :o It's not going on the wall or nowt...! :boring: Bye Clio, Hi Scoob ! by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr

    Brake Light Out.

    Did you swap it out for the correct type ?! Pretty obvious if it's blown .. the filament will either be in bits rolling around the bottom of the bulb, or dangling like it's just been cut in two. Give the duff one a gentle shake and you'll see if it's in one piece or not. Edit: Just seen...
