I'm considering spraying my wheels just to freshen it up but unsure what colour I'd go for... Choices so far are to stay anthracite, silver, anthracite with a bronze tint to it, gold or even polished. What does everyone think? If anyone has some skill with photoshop it would be much...

Can anyone tell me what's meant to be here??

Is this an easy job?

Thanks. I wasn't sure between these or the Philips. The osrams are cheaper too which is a bonus

Polishing up my headlights this weekend so will be looking at replacing all the bulbs to make sure it looks fresh. Currently got mixed indicator bulbs but I'll probably end up with Silver Visions. What sidelights and headlight (non-xenon) bulbs does everybody recommend? I'm after a white...

Thanks Got round to fitting the cup 172 badge that was missing today and also my cliosport.net window sticker Also stopped at my local garage and found my backbox is rotting...mild steel problems!...and there is some play in the top mounts which is causing a knock. Not sure how best to solve...

They don't call you dangerous Dave for nothing!

I already have some Tar remover, thought it might work... Thanks!

I've just bought my clio and it has the cup 172 badge missing off the B pillar on one side. The seller tried to apply it but said wouldn't stick properly due to the wax. How can I best remove the wax to apply the badge? Also, when I was my car how often do I polish and wax it? Can I polish on...

This must be ridiculous fun to drive! Love it

Thanks Fixed the gearstick gaitor this morning using @Rob 's guide...although the plastic ring is snapped in half so not perfect

To be fair the noise when the pedal is depressed is barely noticeable and neither is the knocking. Certainly not things that I expect are going to cause me any problems any time soon. I may be being overly paranoid from past bad experiences! Regardless, I'm over the moon with it so far. The...

After over 7 months without a car I've finally got myself one. The budget kept creeping up until it reached enough where I could look at the Clio Sports. I've tried to be careful on the car I chose as I have made many mistakes in the past, so I was only interested in ones with good history and...

I bought my car today!

Well I'm going to see a car on Saturday with under 90k and great history. Thanks for the replies though, hopefully I won't need to look at any more after this one. I actually sold it last year, just haven't updated this profile

Thanks for the replies everyone, comforting to know. Sorry if it has been covered, I tried Google searching under this site but they were old threads and a high mileage was considered 70k Sounds like it's for sale? Any info...

Having seen a few nice cars with 120k+ miles I thought it would be worth asking if this would put anybody off? Is it the typical 'as long as the service history is good' ? Wouldn't bother me on most cars but I'm new to these and trying not to make yet another bad decision when it comes to cars!

Thanks for the replies. If nothing else comes up before next week I will go and view it anyway. If the rest of it seems ok I will try and haggle enough to make it worth while changing the belts straight away, otherwise I'll leave it.

Is the dephaser that important if there are no signs? I have seen a car that had it's belts done 30k and 3 years ago but not the dephaser, it's currently on 100k with no noises. Is it worth a look for £1500 - haggling? Bearing mind the belts would be getting done within a year or 2. That is a...

Last year I signed up to the forum as I was looking for a 172 but instead ended up with an mx5. However, I am now looking once again. For £1500 - £2000 I know I can get a decent 172 but there are a few 182s creeping in at this budget too. I prefer the wheels and exhausts on the 182 but would...

So I didn't end up buying a Clio last year, spent a bit less on an mx5 instead. However, I am now looking once again. For £1500 - £2000 I know I can get a decent 172 but there are a few 182s creeping in at this budget too. I prefer the wheels and exhausts on the 182 but would rather buy a car in...

Well, when I say do them myself, I mean pay someone to do them for me Chi, if you have something suitable feel free to send me a PM

Hi everyone I've just joined the site as I have now added a Clio 172 to the list of potential cars. They're mostly over my original budget hence why I've only just started looking at them; they do seem to tick most of the boxes though. At the minute I'm trying to sell my current car to free up...
