Cheers for that mate, any suggestions on where i could get the new springs and shocks from? Also the bushes? I'm going to do that, get the engine pulled forwards and sort the brakes and see what i have left!

Hi guys, I've got a Ph1 Exclusive with 53000 on the clock and have about 500 notes to spend on it. I just wanted some advice on a few things... 1. The suspension is starting to feel tired (crap roads) and i'm thinking of replacing the original shocks with maybe some uprated springs, is this a...

Had the car 5 days now and done about 600 miles! Can't stop smiling, i'm actually enjoying driving again!

My pic disappeared!

I've just posted a pic in the '172 exclusive' thread in the general section, check it out! Thanks for the nice comments guys!

I took a couple more pics but it was getting dark and only had a camera phone but i'm happy with the results after its first polish!

Its on an Y plate mate, milage is low at 41,000 but i talked the garage into doing the cambelt + aux, and a full service! Can't believe they agreed, gonna take it in on thursday then spend friday checking they actually did the work! Condition is ok, it needs a little bit of tlc, those silver...

I picked up No.171 yesterday! Done about 150 miles and i love it!

On the Exclusive they came with a CD headunit as standard! I was entering the code correctly, but unfortunately it was the wrong bloody code! Luckily got a mate at renault who sorted it for me! Think i was inputing some security code that the guy at the garage told me it was the radio code...

Quick Update, so far i've tried Using the stick rather then the buttons to enter the code, holding down the button on the bottom to enter Using the buttons and holding down 6 Swearing lots and shouting! Any ideas?

Hi mate, I paid 2999 which i think is a good price! I'll get some pics up tomorrow after its first clean!

I'm trying to enter the radio pin code and no matter what i try it doesn't seem to accept it! On the Paper with the code on its got some instructions about turning the ignition on and off but i'm not sure i understand it! Its a phase1 '01 plate with standard cd headunit, I've read through some...

Cheers for the replys guys!

I'm Picking up my 172 exclusive in the morning and just can't wait! Its due a service though and fancy doing all the basics myself. Its an '01 with 41k on the clock, don't think much work service-wise has ever been done apart from a couple of oil changes. The Garage i'm getting it from are...

Is Hillpower in brum then mate? Are there any specialist 172/renault specialists in the midlands area, i can see me getting to know them well!

Wow, £750-850 is alot of cash, can't see the garage forking that out, but they said they would, i'll confirm the work is done before i hand over any more £! I lost all my pics of the celica, it was a beauty though, i bought it with chavy wheels and crappy lowered suspension but got the original...

Thanks for the replies guys! I only started looking at clio's yesterday but i'm a sucker for special editions, the second i realised it was an exclusive i had to get it! I restored a Carlos Sainz Celica gt4 a couple of years ago and had a Rallye 306, anything thats slightly different really...

Hi Guys, Just wanted to say hello :) as i have put a deposit down on a 172 this afternoon and can't wait to pick it up! Its Number 171 of the exclusive run and has only covered 41,000 miles! I managed to get the garage to agree to getting the cambelt done though as there was no record of it...
