Decided to treat myself / the car to about £250 of cleaning products recently, including a DAS-6 Pro and a snowfoam lance :cool: The car was snowfoamed, cleaned, Iron X'd, cleaned again, clayed, machine polished with Megiuar's 105 and 205, then covered in two coats of Poorboys Natty's blue...

Saw a nice clean Trophy in Heather (it's a tiny village in Leicestershire) this morning. Anyone here?

Saw you pulling into the petrol station / McDonalds in Measham this morning (Friday) around 8am. I was just leaving so you might not have spotted me.

As above, saw you parked up at lunchtime. Was tempted to park up next to you in my black 182 :approve:

As above, you were turning left towards Two Gates, I was turning right. Private plate, N13 xxx. Spotted today (Sunday) around 1pm. Got to be someone on here :p

Very nice new yellow 200T and a tidy 172 cup in Eastbourne by Tesco. Anyone here?

As above, Black Gold 182 with a private plate in Tamworth this morning, going onto the A5 from Stoneydelph. I was about 6-7 cars back in my own Black Gold 182 :D

Hi all, as titled my front fogs aren't working on my 182. Only had the car a few days but wanted to test all the lights etc and noticed they werent coming on. I'm getting the light on the dash, and I've tested the fuse and all seems OK. What I have found though (which I think may be the...

Saw this on Ebay earlier : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151105826682 If I wasn't buying mine from Steve at R-Sports I'd have been tempted! Looks pretty mint and well maintained - plus ALL belts done and an RS192 exhaust. Wouldn't pay that price though ... prob £3700 if it's as good as it...

Hi all, I'm putting my 04 Fabia VRS up for sale this weekend with a view to getting back into an RS Clio. Had two 172s previously, one was awesome, one was a dog. Would I be better off spending 3.5k on a nice 182, or spreading my finances a bit further and going for an early 197 at just over...

Hi everyone, I've been a member (albeit probably not a very active one) since I had my first 172 back in 2004/5 ... and now I'm hopefully going to join the ranks of Renaultsport owners again! Quick story of my car history over the last 9 years ; I sold my awesome Monaco Blue 53 plate 172 to a...

Just saw a mains powered machine polisher in my local Aldi and am tempted. Heard it can give a fantastic finish with less effort than doing it by hand.... and can you REALLY go wrong for £13? Saw it in the Coventry store on Radford road on my way home last night, they had a fair few left...

Hey, I've just bought a Clio 172 which has a powerflow exhaust system fitted. The exhaust itself doesnt look too intrusive and I do kinda like it, but the sound is unbearable. I picked it up Friday and went from Tamworth -> Liverpool and then back today and it's given me a proper headache...

Just bought an Alpine CDE-103BT to put in my car. Looks awesome. It has a parrot kit inbuilt so it should be pretty ace. Got it for "staff" price as I'm an Alpine employee :o) Woohoo! http://www.alpine-electronics.co.uk/home/products/headunits/cd-headunits/cde-103bt/ Will post pics when it's...

Hi guys, looks like I'm re-visiting the joys of 172 ownership! I owned a 172 a few years back which I sold to Oggy172. Since then I've owned a SEAT Leon FR Tdi since new but have had a few relationship problems which have led to me needing to pay a mortgage by myself in the next 12 months so...

Hey guys, I need some advice selling my 172. It's a 53 reg in monaco blue with 47k miles in. It's advertised in the "for sale" section. Started asking £6695 for it, but dropped it down to £6295, and will prob have to go lower. All HPI cleared, nothing dodgy about it, just need to sell it before...

At last I've picked up my 172 :D Absolutely love it, easy to drive fast, and also very relaxing when you just want to take it easy. Just got to get used to the power now!

I was supposed to be picking up my gorgeous little 172 in Monaco blue on 23rd Dec, but plans have changed at work freeing up this Friday and Saturday. Have spoken with the garage and they don't see why i can't pick it up this friday (16th). Just waiting for confirmation which I'll get first...

I'm after a bit of advice... I'm planning on changing the front speakers in my clio when I pick it up, and am unsure of what to buy. I've got a budget of around £70-£80 and am looking for a good set of components which will fit into the standard pods as I want it to look 'as standard'. Any ideas...

Some of you may already know this, but if you get your insurance through Direct Line as I do, you can get a hefty discount if someone else in your household also insures their car with them. Just had a quote and was £140 cheaper just because my brother is insured with them too. Madness!

Hi, this is my first post! After a long time searching, I've managed to get myself a Clio 172! Was originally going to go for a 182, but I couldnt find any without the Cup packs, as since i'm only 22 my insurance company will not insure me on a car that's been 'modified'. Tried other companies...
