Ive got APEX, and i cant fault them. Bham has loads of body shops

my car makes all kinds of creaks and rattles!!! The most annoying one is comming from just behind the height adjustment on the steering column. The car has always done it and renault have apparently fixed it twice but it still does it!!!!!!! t***s!!!!!

Thats exactly why i got 17s

i think (dont quote me though) panasonic+kenwood will work im not 100% sure

172s dont have 14s!!! I was at a meeting last night with 5 of them!!! and all of the MK1s had 15inch F1s

Mk1 172 has 15inch Oz F1s (i think)

Can Hill Power do anything for me and my little 1.2 16v??????

Ive been told yokos are not up too much. Go Toyo T1-S, epensive i know but by far the best

Yep mine are 17inch OZ Superleggeras with 205/40 Toyo T1-S tyres, and they weigh about the same as my old renault 15s!!!!!

Ive got super Ls!!! They weigh about the same as my old 15s

The rear is SO easy to lower yourself!!!! Open the boot, undo the nuts on top of the shocks, jack the car up and the srpings will fall out!!! Wack in your new ones, do up the shocks and hey presto, the back is lowered!!!! The front is a bit more tricky!!!!!!

Sorry, its under "Articles" and then "Cliosport Meetings" then Autosport int.

Yeah check the Autosport international photos in the gallery

Have you seen the new style Superleggeras????

Please dont get superleggeras cos i want to be individual!! Only joking!!! Ive got 17s Superleggeras on my car and although the straight line perfomane is down slightly, the handling is 10x better on 17s than my old 15s. The looks you get off everyone as you drive past makes it all worth...

You need the four shocks, the springs, and maybe some new bump stops (unless you get some with the shocks) and thats about it!! The springs cost about £100 (Pi or SPAX do 60mm springs)

nope, thats each!!! The best ive found them for is £85each front from Carnoisseur and £75 each for the rear.

Its ok, ive got them off!! They slide off!!! They are now sitting in my garage in yellow filler primer!!!

60mm springs won’t rub on 17’s, my mate has got them on his 1998 clio. They will if you carry four people though!!!! You know you have to change the shocks as well??? The standard ones are too long for 60mm springs. I’m getting SPAX 60mm springs and koni adjustable shokcks for my car

I know they wont look much different, but im more into subtle, stealth mods. Anyway im a right fussy sod!!!!!

Anyone know how to get these off??? I fancy a bit of DIY colourcoding!!!!

There are specialist thatll come out to your house and electroplate your badges for you. I think its quite expensive, something like £40 per badge (im guessing) have a look in top gear mag, i seem to recall there always being an advert in the back for this sort of thing.

You already know what i think, itll look too over the top mate!

Just out of interest how much would it cost (approx) to wack a 172 lump in a mk2 ph2 (2001) 1.2???? I know its probably cheaper to buy a 172, but i was just interested to find out the cost

Im not an expert, or anything but wouldnt it be a better idea to get the same offset as youve already got and then use spacers to move the wheel out if it catches?? Maybe this is a crap idea, just a thought though. Ill tell you what i can do, ill put my wheels on jon16vs clio 1.8 16ver and let...

Ive been told that the 5 GT Turbo engine was made be Volvo

Jon? Ill have to come and see your exhaust poop, sounds interesting!!!!

Damn, halfords prices strike again!!!!! I did buy it about 3 months ago though!!!

I wouldnt exactly say the tarmac melts under the extra power!!! its louder, and has a bit more pull, but i dont know if its worth the £120 (yes i know its a 1.2) i payed for it. Jons pipercross on his 16ver sounds immense. All PiperX sound good. Whats the best price youve found one for???

bilstein do a coilover kit for a 172, ive seen it on a car. I dont know how to post pics though, anyone???
