I think I may have to back out of this now guys, sorry!!
But Ive decided to spend some cash on an exhaust now and my mates have twisted me into getting some springs rather than coilovers.
Hope everyone who showed interest can go ahead and get this good deal with Loony!
I have a open PiperCross filter on mine, and Im not impressed.
But then it was £35.
Is it worth the £200 odd a forced kit, wheres the best place to get a BMC CDA from with everything I need? Or would people recommended going for a panel filter and saving the extra cash for an exhaust?

P.S Lets not hear any punto chat. I dont think these cars deserve a mention on such a prestigious website and I cant believe I heard the Ford word either especially when matched with the word Ka !!!!!!Rflol :p
Lol!

i think that the 1.2 16v dynamique i have is slower than the 1.2 16v punto i used to own (75hp vs 86hp and less weight), however it drives much nicer and is more chuckable into the corners. the ride and handling is also sweeter which...
All new cars having teething problems, once theyre run in a bit and have their problems ironed out then theyre all good!! (well should be).
Chances are your car has its glitches when it was bought new, but you wouldnt have known when you bought it! (Im assuming you havent owned it from new).

Update on Price:
Loony (Cliosport Area Rep) has got back to us with this:
retail H&R are £763.75 if we have 5 orders for them it would be £630 so thats £133.75 off retail
I certainly wont be ordering until the new year.
Let me know what you guys / girls think...
This post is to just generate interest for those who want to get there hands on the above at a discounted price (not confirmed).
If youre interested post here!
Brands and prices to follow (as yet not decided which to get).
If people can add their name for interest, and which preference...
I will admit that a 182 with the Cup does give the best of both worlds, but as I am the owner of a 172 Cup, Im gonna stick up for my car a bit here!!
The 172 Cup just looks much nicer on the outside, special paint just for the cup, nice alloys (not big billabong ones ie. standard 172 / 182)...
A bit of a mized response there then!!
I was after this one Brian:

CAD dont stock it, otherwise I would have just ordered it from them!
Oh, and Im not sure if I can make your party, my Mummys having one that night, so...
Turninis are much nicer!
They stand out so much more and you can instantly tell, yes thats a cup.
The new ones look like standard Renault alloys nothing special really!
I have used caraudiodirect.co.uk before, they were fine.
But the dont stock the head unit I want, and caraudiocentre were the cheapest place I could find.
Cheers for the info, anymore welcome [:)]
Anyone had any experience with these guys before:

Seem pretty cheap, just wondering if anyone has had any good / bad experiences with them before I part with the cash :)

Quote: Great thing with the 172 is that even with this driving style (and not many motorway miles) I still average 32mpg+!
Mines on about 32mpg atm, but does anyone know if these read outs are that accurate? The petrol seems to drain out a lot faster than this!!
When I get the chance I certianly open her up! ;)
I do a 50 mile round trip to work, and most of it I sit at about 90mph, but I wouldnt say that was thrashing the car, infact thats far off the top speed!! :D
Hope you get it sorted ok Kelly! :o
Lorry drivers dont annoy me too much, yer its annoying when they kind of barge through and dont care for who has the right of way, but at leasts theres some skill involved in driving them, theyre big f**kers!!
How hard is it to drive a van??? Yer not...
