Thanks rory182 but id rather have one minus a tailpipe showing for insurance purposes. Does look nice tho! Very tempting. Im shopping around at the wkd so may consider later if im not too late for the group buy.
Thanx guys!
Just did a search actually, should have done that first! Alot of info.
I may check out this place in cardiff, if i can get a lift. Not risking driving considering ive been lucky driving to germany and back!
If not then ill try a local place that custom fit.
Thanx. Yeh, not sure im liking the sound of custom made! Sounds expensive! I dont really want to spend more than £300 (if any, but i looks like im gonna have to!).
Cardiff is a bit far but K-tec is only 45mins from home.
Mmmm, still not happy!
Thank but im not sure what to get but i dont really want to cut into the bumper or have a tail pipe out the back. Thats why i wondered about the stealth system.
Anyone have it? Any good?
Im looking for advice on exhaust repair on my 172 mk2 or recommendations on a new one!
I have taken it to a friends garage who said the middle pipe has rotted, where it goes in the box and the box itself. Couldnt really be patched apparently. He gave me a quote of £394! with the renault...
Im quite lucky, my number plate is NL02 XHU, which sort of has LOU in it! (I like looking at it like that!)
Otherwise its alot of money for a personalised one for me. I think I would get one to match the car if i had the spare dosh.
Where is the best place to get a stealth parcel shelf from for my 02 172?
Ive done a search but can only find one place that looks ok. I figured some peps on here may have some? (for 6x9s)
I know how you feel, its a horrible site. It happened to me with my last car, but luckily a random man painting a house made the bloke who did it leave his details to give to me!
Sorted now, but a nightmare. However my next nightmare is still going on, im jinxed with my cars too. I cant...
May not loose my 5 years NCB now! The police found him! Im really surprised, my original £506 quote has only gone up to £551. Hopefully it stays that way as the claim should go through his insurance.
Thanx for your help guys x lou x
The Police found the driver! He was uninsured but the car was insured! May not loose my 5 years NCB after all as it will be through his insurance! Hopefully hell get a hefty fine, but im pleased so far!
Im going to get quotes this afternoon, a couple from renault as they are on my insurance...
I doubt anyone will see it, probably burnt out in a field or something!
M198 TMH, blue ford escort. It happened Saturday night 9.00-9.30 ish, on the little Tesco roundabout.
In Shaftesbury, Dorset. Hardly any of us down here!
Yeh, Im going to two garages tomorrow, one of which is a renault garage for quotes. However i think the damage is well over my £400 excess i have to pay, plus the extra £160 on my next policy.
Also, as it was not my fault id rather get it fixed asap and not worry about finding all the parts...
Thought that might have been the case nelson!
Ill probably go for that then, just gutted because it should have been £500! People driving with no insurance should be shot.
Ive tried greenlight before with my 4 years NCB, not the best.
Ive also tried Admiral and Diamond which were not far off Bells best quote.
My areas not bad. Ill keep you up to date! I have 2 years NCB by the way.
Yeh, thats with my mum as well. I knew i should have protected it last year, well peeeeeeed off.
The renewal with tesco would have been £592 with 5 years NCB if i had stayed, its now £999 with them!
Being only four days away from having 5 years protected NCB i have had to make a claim due to an unknown hit and run driver.
For my new policy to start on wednesday i have 2 years NCB, im a 23 year old female with 4 years+ driving experience and one claim (not my fault), does £660 with Bell...
Thanks guys. I rang the police as soon as i got out the car but they took ages to turn up and didnt catch the escort. We got the number plate but it was still registered to an old owner.
Too right bezza4, the policeman couldnt miss out on commenting on my boyfs driving in his willy, who went...
Just a hundred yards away from my house an uninsured w*nker decided to carry on over the roundabout, dispite seeing me coming last nite. He kept going and drove off dispite his smashed driver window and caved-in drivers side of his m reg escort.
My poor 172 needs a new bumper, n/s wing and...
I saw two black 172s on the way from Salisbury to Wilton or there abouts , last Friday (assuming you mean Wilton in Wiltshire) . Also another silver one (but may have been a cup) coming into Salisbury,gave a wave but u looked at me funny! Im seeing quite a few round these rural parts! x
Wow! Whats invisibility mode!? Is it what it sounds like!!!? Ha Ha. Im gonna try these! Ive never actually heard my alarm (or any beeps) , good thing really.
Thanx guys.
Bargains on here maybe? The interior is black half leather with a dark grey suede type material down the middle (cant remember the name for it without looking it up!, someone correct me).The seats are gorgeous.
Dash, carpet, etc, black. Do a search on 172 interiors (or similar).
Very happy with mine. Bought it about 3 months ago. mk2 02 silver 172, got it for £7750 only done 13k, but thats because my dad found it for me (hes in the motor trade!) I should think ull get a beauty with that budget but a bit higher on the milage side (i was lucky to get mine for that price)...
I must agree, 172s are quicker on the straight. Williams stick to the road obviously much better, so quicker on corners. However, its a very rare occation when i get to drive boyfreinds williams!
