Mine fell of on the dual carriageway lol exhaust bracket got ripped off the person behind looked very suprised! Got myself hayward system after that. Car only done 30K too.

I can see where people are coming from, I sold my 172 cup in 2007 to renault garage in the end as couldn't shift it on autotrader was up twice. Only wanted 5K for it as thats what I got trade price for. God knows why it didn't sell. Had full reno service and rentech just did the 36K service had...

sorry my post wasn't clear ref pictures. I have a silver 172 so prefer pictures of silver 172 with stnd alloys in black.

Does anybody have any decent pictures of a silver 172 stnd alloys refurbed in gloss black and or athracite. Getting mine done but still undecided. What peoples thoughts. I am thinking gloss black just to be different. Cheers

Cheers, I will check the shocks see if they are leaking. If they need replacing am I best to replace the springs with eibach ones or will the old ones be ok. If the eibach ones make the handling that much better I will go down that route. Are the shocks on the 172 and 172 cup different and is...

Hi, I have just purchased another 172 and the handling seems really bad, always feeling like the back end is swinging out. Could the shocks be on the way out? Its 51 done 50K. I used to have a 172 cup and the ride was superb, if it required replacement shocks, would the 172 cup stnd reno...

Guys I been looking into the cost of getting my 172 alloys refurbed possibily in anthracite and it seems to cost a fortune. I have contacted both Lepsons and wheel specialist and they are talking approx £282 - £300 (bout £70ish a rim) for refurb with tyres strip, refit and balanced. Does this...

Hey, Didn't have a sticker but you may be on here, you were hammering down the A23 towards Crawley, you came off at Pease pottage roundabout. Was bout 14:00 ish on Sat 3rd March.

Just looking at getting the wheels refurbed and tempted with the anthracite finish, does anybody have any good pics of a 172 cup with this done. Cheers

Lol that was me! was my sisters boyfriend in the back. Just visiting her she lives in longwell Green. Was a member of cliosport few years back. Exhaust was a hayward n scott custom. U live near by? Paul

Nice exhaust! but PLEASE PLEASE consider getting it cut into the bumper. It looks really untidy and as if its not meant to be there. Good choice tho on the system! :-)

My 172 is booked into Hayward n Scott next week.... bloody reno one rusted off and fell of lol Anyways im looking at getting the black plastic that they use on the 182 exhaust when they cut it into the bumper.... does anybody know how much these retail for at reno? should i be able to just...

Not sure if ur on here but I pulled up about 10pm was behind u and u were hanging ur head out the door checking my motor out lol... Paul

Hi matey, Im running a 172 Cup and personally from having it i would get the full fat 172 with all the toys then if you want it to look like a cup get some turini speedlines... job done! the diff in speed and handling is negliable if you can stretch jus fit some coilovers and ur have a great...

As per this guys response: The seating position, the seating position, the seating position, the seating position, the seating position!! Not having ABS in the 172 Cup sh*t my pants sometimes the amount of locking up it does when driving hard!

Nice find! I used to have a valver and my girlfriend still has her rs1800 and iv driven both and the valver is such a better car to drive by miles! The XR2I steering always feels uninvolved extremely heavy! the engine doesn't feel as willing as the valver. Though on the plus the seats are...

I love the car looks really mint! Makes me miss my old valver everytime i see a pic like this. :-(

Your definitey need a DECAT! on my old valver i ran a janspeed full system, but as soon as i put the decat on it, it poped and banged all day and used to get the flame from it too.

Paul says HEELLLO! 172 cup owner from crawley too! But not a member yet.... :-( haven't gotten round to it.

I usually use this site http://www.finalgear.com/ you can get links for all the topgear and fifthgear videos but it probably won't be avaliable for download until tuesday as they take some time to RIP and upload. Enjoy!

Hi matey, System looks great and as long as your happy with it thats the main thing. I had a full S1 Janspeed system on my valver for 3 yrs and believe me it gets much louder! and raspy when worn in i was happy with mine.

LOL yeh true, just wondered if there is any other brands apart from the factory ones that maybe better.

Hi need some help, got a 172 cup and the two fronts are getting low. The car is currently on the renault factory default brand running 195/45/16. What brand of tyre are people going for nowadays - whats recommended..... Needs to be a good all round tyre in the wet and dry and hard wearing...

Put the original back on mate its 100 times better. Just looks really odd looking definitly doesn't suit the car. Sorry

What an improvement! Looking good. I was tempted by the FK's, how do you rate the ride....? is it harsh especially with the back lowered to the max.

Spotted about 9am today i was two cars ahead in the blue 172 cup going up the hill to three bridges station.

LOL thats so wrong! why buy a special edition rs 172 and do that to it... the fool! He must be compensating for something ;)

Hi Matey. Yipee i finally got spotted. Next time flash us... with your lights of course LOL. Live local in Crawley, Maidenbower. Paul

Hi Brad, Iv always used MAGNAT speakers they were aswesome in my 16v had 6x9 Xcentrics cost £150 for both but not sure if they do these anymore, probably have an updated version though you prob need to upgrade the head unit and an amp would help. These were so powerful u didnt need a sub! I...
