finnaly in the dealers.
51 plate, 21k on clocks, RS 172, flame red
they are refurbing the wheels for me as they are slightly curbed amd also pulling out a car park ding and touching up a bit of a flake on the door at the verry bottom.
verry happy with the service i have recieved so far...
people paid less for cups when they were new so in theory they should be worth less.
in practice its about the same, some times more, sometimes less
parkers prices - Cup 53 plate 10k on clock - 11150
- full fat same plate same miles 12020

head work - polishing and porting wills et you back around the £400-600mark depending where you go, put this with a good exhaust set up (full stainless cat back or even manifold and sports cat aswell). Leave the induction kit unless you are going to spend £250 on a sealed one.
And get in...
no, if the car behind hit you and pushed you into the car infront, then it is the car that hit yous liabiliuty, and their insurance will be debited for all repairs.
There may still be an open claim with insurance. For example you rang insurance and they paid for all youre damage, but may...
you cant reallymake sweeping generalisations and say Yokos arent verry good.
They make loads of ranges of tyres, and like most brands they cheeper ones arent as good as the more expensive. Yoko make so good tyres, however for a good all year tyre go for a goodyear eagle F1 or for a more...
it not really a huge power gain modification, its a powr delivery modification.
the car will rev that bit more freely, and so bit a little bit more resposive when you plant your foot. In terms of BHp increase it might be 1 or 2. Be a bit warry tho for everyday use, as police can test...
if they try to charge you tell them to go jump. and take it to trading standards, you have a 3 yr warrenty no matter if you car is an import or not as it has been payed for

Different Bonnet, spoiler, exhausts, lights, the fact its a 1.2, fill in the weird pointless rear arch scoops, peel off the stickers and actually paint it and it wouldnt be too bad.
its actually and transversely mounted W12
road cars are built to a compromise. sure they could make the car handle better by dropping it 40mm or so, but then the slearence is reduced, and the general population mite sturggle.
sure you could make it quicker with stainless exhaust and the like, but this puts the cost of manufacture...
any toyos tyres will only last about 10k on the front.
They are fitted to wheel and tyre packages for a reason! no doubt they hold VERY well, but pay a bit more for a goodyear eagle f1, and youll get better grip, and longer lasting
have to save some money then, but the smile on my face every time i drive it will be worth it.
have just been and put £500 down, pick it up on 1st september[:)]
well after going to see two 172s yesterday, and they were both duffers.
i called into Renault Dealers on the way back, to have a quick snoop round the new megane sport. And they found me a 51 plate 172 in flame red and its only done 21k. Paying 7350 all together[:)]
Very happy with the...
