oh, and the Mk1s come with 15" wheels (mk2 has 16") ... which i also prefer for handling.

Biased opinion, however.... The Mk1 172 was only made at the end of production of the older style clio, therefore there arent too many about. The Mk2 172 was made throughout the production of the newer style clio, therefore there are more of them about. Performance will be more or less the...

thank you, so i was right then ;) modifying the software when the new law comes in seems like hassle that could be avoided by buying the B2 which does the same things. Just unplug the laser detector when the law comes in.

hmm cant say ive seen it around... must be an outsider heh msa... do you live in poole?

i was thinking of doing mine gloss black on my silver 172...

clay bar will shift it easily.

Gday! there arent that many problems really, if you buy it second hand then the problems will have already been sorted anyway. Mine has no problems and i love driving it every day! /Dan.

I will continue to use Optimax... Renault make no money in suggesting we use optimax in our cars... therefore there must be a valid reason for suggesting it. I dont know if there is a difference or not... but i shall use what is recomended in my high performance vehicle :)

mine doesnt, ive modified it after phoning them for advice. also, the RA2s will soon become illegal if the government have their way. The B2s have a seperate laser detector which can be unplugged, making it legal when the new laws come into place.

illegal. they must be standard font, white front with yellow rear. Dealers name at the bottom with no other logo apart from the optional country flag. oh, and they need to be spaced correcty too.

yup I used http://www.gtgrafix.com/GTGrafix

lowering is a change from standard spec tho.... i was just curious cos its only a change in wheel colour. It dont cost me extra with greenlight to declare, but just wondered... also what about colour coding parts?

Those of you who have refurbed your original alloys a different colour... have you told your insurance? just wondering, cos they arent a change from the standard spec... just a change in colour? /Dan.

yeah, i got this on the way to FCS this year from my 172... it soon went down round the track tho :oops:

ok mate... heh i had photoshop loaded to sort out a decent picture of what they will look like. never mind eh :)
