I have just been having a scan through the clio media section and has a scan through a fair amount of nice cars and spotted this.
How come this car(susanamck's) has "Clio" shown in the Audio Display ?
How do you get that ?
My 172 FF is running Yokohama A539s on the front and Toyo Proxes on the rear at the moment.
My front tyres are going to need replaced in the next month or so.
My choice is between the 5 below.
Toyo Proxes T1-R,
Yokohama A539 (running at moment and wear to quick and useless in wet)...
I have just been reading this thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=308071
I was wandeirng will the standard wheels as fitted to 182FF's and 182 Cups fit on my 172FF without any probs ?
Or will they rub cause they run slightly wider tyres (205/45R16's) than the 172FF...
Here i go again, more about tyre weld and spare wheels.
Lol :rasp:
I'm going away to buy a can (or two) of tyre weld tomorrow and was wandering what size is the can of Renault tyre weld you get in the 172/182 cups ?
By that i mean, is it 300ml,500ml etc etc.
As i don't want to buy a...
How do you use tyre weld ?
I have found out in my other thread ( http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=307519) i need the car jacked up to inflate the tyre.
As the tyre weld can doesn't have enough in the can to inflate the tyre with the weight of the car on the flat wheel. (Meaning...
For those who are bothered i thought i'd put up a quick pic i took on my phone today of my 172ff with my new carbon splitter ;)
Sorry it aint a great pic it was a quick one using my phone just after i fitted it.
I'll get better pics up soon to bore you's.
I also fitted a new headlight...
Would this tyreweld do the job since i've removed my spare wheel ?

or this one...
I was having a look in the fusebox on the passengers side of the dash beside the door today.
I was having a scan at the fusebox cover and noticed one or two (i can't remember) of the fues are for UCH (I think it is).
What is UCH ?
And what does it do ?
Dunno if this is correct section but here it goes.
Just a thought.
Would it be a close one between a 197 and a 172/182 all with same spec or same mods done.
Or would 197 kill the 172/182 ?
Were not talking 172/182 and 197 cups though.
And aint the 197 slightly slower on paper ?
Or is...
*Heads up*
There an Rs Steering wheel on ebay at the moment off a 172/182 Rs Clio.

And theres a few engines and gearboxes...
I have just been looking through the following thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=267524 about melted steering wheel thumbgrips.
And i have noticed a few people with clio cups have posted up there steering wheel pics.
Here they are.
Why do some cups have...
I have removed my spare wheel from my car today.
I was wandering does anyone have any pictures of the plywood under the boot carpet on a 172 cup ?
As my boot carpet sags a bit :(
I am gonna remove my spare whell, jack and tool kit tomorrow :)
But i don't know what to use to stop my boot carpet sagging when it goes over the wheel well when the spare wheel is removed :S
As i still want to be able to put stuff in boot without carpet collapsing.
Anyone any ideas ?
I...
I'm bored and as there seems to be a few imported clios on here.
I thought i'd put together a list of who has one and what model it is (clio 172,182 etc)
Just to see how many there are on here, and how popular they are.
And has anyone had any probs with there cars ?
Add yourselve if it...
Sorry guys, here goes another import thread.
My Iceberg Silver 2002 172FF has turned out to be an import as well and has no locking nuts, etchings, stickers etc.(I found that out not long after i got it)
What is a better car to have ?
A uk 172 ?
Or an imported one ?
And where do you's...
I 've read n here that 172 steering wheel thumbgrip bits are bad for wearing through and falling apart :(
Touch wood mine are ok so far, but has anyone got pics of theres ?
Just to see how bad they really get.
Does anyone know what times you'd expect to get running a 172 FF(my one) up a 1/4 mile ?
As i fancy giving it a go, but dont know what kinda times i should be aiming for :S
Is it in the 15's ?
Or 16's ?
Or slower ?
With all this talk about iceberg silver clios, i though i'd start an Iceberg Silver Clio thread as i'm bored and it gives eveyone a chance to show theres off ;)
Heres mine before Eibach Sportlines, black badges, Brembo Max, Greenstuffs pads etc etc.
And with the Eibachs etc.
Is it just me or do some peoples front wings on there Iceberg Silver Clios look a different shade to the rest of there cars ? :S
Please excuse me for pinching these pics folks. ;)
Or is it just the way the light hits the car ?
Sorry if this has been posted before. :S
But does anyone know how the 2.0 door badges are held on ?
As i fancy taking mine off and having a go at painting mine ;) http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?p=3789611#post3789611
And does anyone know how much new 2.0 badges are from...
Each time i start my car it sounds like a computer working (the noises i hear) and its coming from the glovebox direction :S
It hasn't affected the cars driveability or performance any way though.
As it has just started when my airbag light came on :( (See thread below)...
After wshing and hoovering my car today i have noticed that my airbag and SERV light come on and off randomly.
They usually go on and off when i hit a bumps, no its stayed on :(
It never came on at all before, could this indicate i have knocked a wire under my front seats to the airbags...
This is a bit random i know.
I noticed the seat belt light on the instrument panel of the courtesy car i had when my car was in for the cam & aux belt change made a noise to remind you to put your belt on (i cant remember if it buzzed/beeped though) :S
Was this a thing Renault added to...
Has anyone used this stuff ?
http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/blackfire-wet-diamond-all-finish-paint-protection-protect.html
A guy i know tried it on his white type r and said it was great.
But he used meguiars "smooth surface clay kit" then zymol cleaner wax...
I was thinking of painting the numbers of my 2.0 litre door badges black and leaving the backs of them silver to go with the car.
What do you guys think ?
Would it look god or bad ?
As i can't think of any other colours to paint them on a Iceberg Silver 172 :S
Dunno if this is correct section but i'll post it here as well anyway :)
After reading the following thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showt...=1#post3767575 it has got me thinking if the vee shares parts with a peugeot.
Does the 172/182's share any parts with any peugeots ?
Or even...

A bit random i know, but does anyone know how to lose some weight from my 172FF to give it the edge on some cars ?
I would remove my back seats but they get used daily :(
Any other ideas that are easy to do ?
I've removed that ISOFIX Bar and spare wheel from my boot for a start :)
I posted a thread before xmas asking if anyone knew what this seat clip was called that is attached to my seat runners but had no luck
http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=265393
So i though i'd pick peoples brains again :)
Heres pictures of the offending clip (the pics are of...
I fancy trying a different kind of wax on my 172ff and was considering Swissvax Oynx or Megs #16.
Which would be best ?
The Swissvax ?
If so where would i get Swiss vax ?
