The handling would be pony, the 16V have a width of about 7/7.5". Those are probably be about 6. Get some new cup alloys! Any tried a V6 set on a 172/cup??

Ha Ha, the A404. Thats the road we used to hack our new (First Cars) up and down to see who could get over a ton with the wind behind our backs in a fiesta popular plus or my mini 1000. Nothing like the feeling of hitting the bottom of the hill and hoping no coppers are sat on the marlow exit...

Nearly time for me to get my 172, and wondered if any of you guys meet up round the Reading/Maidenhead/Bracknell areas? I dont mean cruises, Rude boy burn outs or sitting in a bumpkin pub, maybe a touch of driving quickly and checking out other peoples modz and installs.

Odd selection from me...... 1) Mini 1000, stage 1 head and 10" wella reverse rims(10s are like 17s on current cars on the old minis) 12" Polk Audio in the rear parcel shelf, is steel and part of the body so you can use the boot as the box. 2)Astra Mk2 1.3, good grunty engine that...

Renault dealers tend to forget to tell you the sport factory is shut in August and sell you on a date they know wont be met as there is no one there to make the car. So if you buy in July or August add what ever dat they told you to the 1st of september and hey presto you get your delivery date...

Which one are renault currently supplyins on the 172 then. I have to admit to ordering one, looked the shiznit and always thought sony were an ok HU supplier.

Or give the MAC audio amped box a try. Use this at the moment in a 306 cabriolet, which has a sealed boot and sounds good. Cant wait to get it in my new 172 when its delivered bet it will be fantastic. Has 2 10" subs, one powered, one passive...

Has anyone taken up the challenge of puttin new buckets in thier 172s?? Thinking of getting a nice Bucket seat for mine and wondered if anyone else has tried it, whats happens with the side airbags??

jeez, what a laugh i can look forward to when renault actually deliver my car. Sales pitch of 6 weeks, actuall delivery time of 10 weeks so far. Nov 4th is the day they are quoting now. Mo Fos.

You could always give one of those Car Bras a go, you know those funny leather knickers for the bonnet. Doesnt solve the chips, but i should stop anymore

I cant even get the dealer to return my calls now. All i asked was to check what type of 172 i was getting as i ordered around the time of the change over to Cruise control as std and whether i could cancel the auto changer as i wanted to get an aftermarket HU. 3 times they have promised a call...

Just left my local renault dealer after trying to cancel my 6disc changer on the 172 i ordered last month. I was going to fit an aftermarket MP3 player but the dealer reckons they can fit a Sony that still uses the remote stalk. Anyone got one, are they any good and should i pay £530 it??

Top draw people. Will have to wait now, just got another letter from renault, You new 172 will now be with you on the 27th oct. What a downer, but thanks for your advice.

Whos got what and how good is it? Thinking of upgrading the OS stuff to after market and wondered what every recommends and does anyone ever meet up for a blatt in the reading area??

How about in Berks, And any ideas about a full system??

So on say a std 172, superchips is the way to go on these? Whats the stand on warranty and how much including fitting are they??

What about hooking it up to another HU and keeping the steering wheel controls? Seems a waste to pay 300 notes for a changer and have a sh*te HU with no Preouts.

Has anyone taken on the job of installing a Cage into thier clio 172/cup/other. Where did you get it, how much and any good?? Oh, and if i ordered my new 172 motah 2 weeks ago, does that mean as its being built this month, that i get cruise control????

Is this thread till active?? Have you tried Van Aaaken in Bracknell?? There pretty good, and have a rolling road im lead to belive.

So if ordered my 172 a couple of weeks ago, ive got a long wait!

I know they are enjoying the weather over there in sun drenched France, and we are back to the good old rainy England, but does anyone know if the Renault factory is open again yet??

Right, this may be a tuff one. In my new 172, ive ordered the cd changer. Further to my previous emails about HUs so you can hook up an amp, thanks to some people on here ive found out that the OS HU doesnt have RCA pre outs. Can anyone recommend a CD player thats compatible with the changer and...

With Renault in the habit of giving thier new cars asss, has anyone seen the new clio thats due out/unveiled?? Anyone got any spypix?? Do we know if they are going to give it a JLO????

Ladies and Gentlemen. I have just bought a brand new 172 (5 weeks delivery, sheesh ive got itchy fingers), but i also have a Mac audio Powered Sub box that i intend to fit. Anyone know if the OS fitted single cd with changer has a pair of Pre-outs i can link the amp upto?? Also, are the...

Morning all. When i bought my 172 from the dealer last week we got onto the subject of tuning and moding new cars. BB motorsport has a good deal on an air filter and exhaust for the 172. As its going to take a month to get the new car delivered, i thought i might pick up the bits early. He...

right, back in a few. going to make the happy journey home and log back in there. thanks for the great advice!!!

Sheesh, ill just email the bank manager and warn him of my impending brokeness. Got it in dark blue, although i dont take delivery of it until the end of Sept.

From near Reading. cant wait to get out and try and lose my licence!! Ha ha ha

Afternoon All, Ive just taken the plunge and bought a brand new 172. Can anyone help with a couple of questions, does the car come with the shift change light or is that just a rumour and does the car run ok on normal petrol or do you need to use the Super unleaded?
