What do the side badges on a UK standard 172 MkII say? Do they say 172 or 2.0 16V? My car is an import and has 2.0 16V. I wondered if the UK says 172 can these be purchased to be retro fit? If so how much do they cost? Cheers MB

Right, I am in two minds about changing the head unit in the 172. It has the single CD 6CD standard combo at the moment and the steering wheel volume/ track remote. In the past I have always replaced my head units but they have been just the head with no periferals, this time I can see a...
