Not seen any on the road round here - you must be a trend setter or a have a keen salesman pushing them hard at your local stealer .

Read the article about it in Autocar or Auto Express the other week, just opened my Evo now so will have a read.

Before having a car without it I would say gimmick, but now see it as a good tool if you do alot off motorway driving, but with a 172 you should really take the B roads home anyway!

Some people would trust it. After a long drive on a dark coloured car I wouldnt risk it myself.

Yeah the car has to belong to and and be insured by someone else. Your policy will say something to the efffect of any 3rd party on any other vehicle not in your name with the owners permission.

I ended up starting a new policy a few years ago when I got another car to use as a run about. Some companies mirror your NCB so you can use it on two cars, I think HIC do this. Some will insure both cars some how under the same policy if one is on limited mileage. Some will do neither...

Nice example for sale, http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=16&TopicID=176285&PagePosition=2CLICKY

Yeah our garage was built in the 70s and its a tight fit, I think I would still rather try and squeeze it in. There is a decent amount of space at the front back off mine but its not that wide. I reverse in tight up against the drivers side with the widow down to easily see and get out the...

But then on the 306 Rallye you still had ABS and normal thickness glass.

Nightmare, more grief. Need a garage.

Welcome to CS. Biggest choice weather to go the Cup or normal car is do you want, need or will miss the toys. Coming from the 6 if you want to keep your leather/alcantara and aircon a full fat 172/182 is the way to go.

Heat the plate up with a hair dryer and the plate will come off a little easier when the adhesive gets warm.

Nice one, nearly time for FOS 2006 isnt it! :p

Easyist way to see this light is when you turn the ignition on and most off the dash lights come on. When it comes on for real its just there to say change now or you will hit the limiter!

Should be able to order it - mine took a couple off days, sounds like they are being lazy. I gave them the code above and they ordered it from that.

The 170 is for the dirty dervs.

Looks much better in the daylight pics, still look really silver against the paint tho, would look great in anthracite.

Halfords should have Scratch X its hard work but should produce OK results by hand if they are not to bad.

When I was looking at 172s it was between that and Flame red, looks good. Your MK1 looks superb too.

Heating it up will soften the adhesive. You should then ba able to get under it. As stated a stanley blade will be ideal, just be carefull off the heated screen lines. Any residue left behind will come off easily with Autoglym Tar remover, lighter fluid or white spirit.
