In Paris for the weekend so I got along to see the 5 in person then was told Alpine was 30 mins away so went along to have a look. The 5 is brilliant. Interior I think is really high quality and the whole car just has character which electric cars have been missing. I seen a yellow one from a...

I wasn't looking for a test drive more to see one in person. I finally got through to Reno Glasgow but they don't have any. They had the A290 in a few weeks ago but said they are going into shopping centres throughout the UK now. Hoping I see a few next weekend in France. I'm fasinated by...

Does anybody know if Renault/Alpine Glasgow have any models in? I really thought I'd never be interested in an electric car but I'm becoming really interested in the new 5. It's actually the first new car for a good while whether ICE or electric which has got me excited. We now have a...

Just came of the roundabout by the BP Garage. Looked like the rear bumper was a different colour but other nice seeing one!

Love this thread already. My very first car was a 1.2 16v Billabong minus the climate control. Also brilliant it has been kept in the family for so long. Look forward to keeping up to date on this one.

Red 200 Must have been around 7pm. I was behind you when you beeped at the cyclist 😅 to be fair terrible road to cycle on when the pavement exists.

Haha noted. I genuinely love just jumping in it and how simple it all is. Smells great aswell 😅 Was also trying to get some retro plates made for it. Need to chase that up.

Not a huge amount to report @Martin_172 . I met @Stu. from Renomotive. What a set up. So I picked up a rear boot lock, door handles and a dashboard. I'm putting the one from this car onto my V6 then the one from Stu onto this. The one on V6 was just way to sticky, think it's the cleaning...

That looks brilliant

I'd like a photo. Think I was looking at the Bremen. Remember seeing it on Harry's Garage for his Esprit.

I'm not sure. I bought my first Clio with the exhaust and coilovers plus that sound system. Loved it!

That looks class!

Great project and work! Do love a 172 Cup.

I'd think so. Obviously ill to assume but I think it has been very well looked after. The belts look fresh, not a 20 year old belt surely. Good battery in it, filter looks good. Just a shame no service book probably lying in a drawer somewhere destined for the bin. Any thoughts on looking...

Thanks that is useful to know. Not related but do you have any of the following. This generation of alloys for a Ph1, think the ones on the Si are called Stella alloys. Black, standard spoiler Boot lid handle/switch Door handles Or anyone else that may have these things :)

Few more photos today until it started chucking it down, again. Only issues I have come across is that it can be hesitant to start from cold, either cuts out or doesn't sound like it's firing on all cylinders, couple of seconds later it kicks into life. Bloody locking wheel nuts are not coming...

Expected this may be the case :( thanks for the quick replies.

Can anybody help, I was looking at removing the alloys on a Clio which I just got but have not seen these locking wheel bolts before. Although the attachment connects okay once trying to remove it keeps slipping. Same on both front wheels, assume the same on the back.

Looks great that and some nice cars in the drive.

That looks superb 👌

I found it locally on gumtree I don't believe it was advertised anywhere else.

This is really sad but I still have (somewhere) the exhaust from my first car, my 1.2 16v Billabong. Can kick about the local waterfront once more 😂

I never even thought until John mentioned it. Colour is spot on. All good thanks, hope the same 👍 What would we need.... 182 Trophy alloys Recaros Ph1 172 bumpers, wings, skirts Coilovers or would sachs fit? Trophy spoiler Oh and engine, gearbox, brakes.

Back in another Clio. I'm always keeping an eye out as would love another Ph1 172. This popped up on Gumtree a site I don't check that often but having the flu I had extra time. This car was posted the same day and being nearby I managed to go and have a look and purchased later on the same...

Just remembered I already a trophy/v6 spoiler. Genuinely tempting. I'll wake up tomorrow thinking wtf I have done 😂

Haha don't.

So they are. I thought they were 15's. Spare one in the boot along with a unused tool kit and steel wheel. I did wonder about the spoiler and front fogs. Going to try and do some digging. Does anyone know if Renault keep history records? The plate and one owner is on the V5. Maybe passed...

Well I'm chuffed. I will stick a thread up but it drives spot on the inside is genuinely like new, even smells it. Couple oddities I think. One owner seems an older couple that were put into a home this was then destined for the scrap. Mental. However the alloys are from a mk2? Also boot...
