Good performance, poor looks. That concludes my indepth analysis.

Wouldnt go for either the new Astra or the Alfa, all of that power through the fronts? Waste of time. If you want power and refinement youve got to go german. Get an older M3 or if you want something a bit newer get an S3. The new ones will be coming out soon, so there will be more bargains to...

The only problem with making this members only is that youll get the people on here, who dont own a clio disappearing from the site. So,what you say? Well how about the users who have CTRs, MINIs and Saxos who are on here and dont cause trouble? Would you want to loose them, aswell as the nob ends?

Sounds iffy to me. Mine was working fine yesterday, thank god. Got in the car after work, select min on the climate control, and bathe myself in some seriously cool jets of air.

Forgive my ignorance on such matters, but is that a whole new front end?

Whats the spoiler on that? It doesnt come with the kit.

Not sure about the dodgy leopard skin stile bumpers tho.

What a joke!!! Leicester Renault charged me £157. Saying that its never going back to them, due to an unrelated matter.

Renault Leicester are indeed a bunch of the most muppety muppets this country has to offer. My car went in for its 12k service and after having the pleasure of handing over £157 I found that they, for some reason had removed the front grille and not put the retaining screws back in!! I also...

Rob - Any chance of your dad adopting a 29 year old geordie? I promise to drive very carefully.

Evo magazine rated the V6 above the Evo in a recent test. Im a big Mitsi Evo fan, but Id go for the V6, just because of the rareity factor.

I dont understand this. My 02 172 you cant lock the passenger side from the inside, unless you use the lock button on the dash, but as soon as you open the drivers door they are all unlocked. Also if I lock any of my doors with the key, they all lock because of the central locking mech...

Neons?? Stop watching your The Fast and The Furious DVD. Next thing youll be telling me you want gold sitckers and an ecu that you can program on the fly with your laptop.

Biggest load of dog poo ever. I give him a bit of respect for doing something like that, but then he loses it all, as soon as I pick up a copy of AutoTrader and see an Evo 6 for five grand left than what hes spent on a Metro. Now if it was a 6R4 that would be a different matter..

So he designed the Skoda Estelle Rally car, yes?

Hmm, think Ill try and leave my future services until Im up there visiting the folks.

£157 in Renault Leicesester.

The reason some of you boys still see the picture, while others cant is because the picture has been cached locally. It will be sitting in your temporary internet file directory on your hard drive.

Pah 85bhp. AX-GTs have 110bhp. I used to have a mint white one. Second owner with only 20,000 miles on the clock. It was an 89 model. F401 KGB. If you get one, try and get an unmodified one. Saying that they do need lowering. I had mine done for around 90 quid, but that was back in 1995...

I think the idea behind this is that Renault have seen the Cup out sell the "normal" 172. It was rumored that they were going to stop making the normal 172 and only build the Cup and offer the equipment you get on the normal 172 as optional extras.

Cheers, for the reply, will book into my local dealer asap.

Hi all, Ive recently noticed a fairly loud squeaking coming from the engine of my 02 172. It seems like it is coming from one of the belts. Normally I wouldnt be too worried about this, but the last time this happened to me was on my Corrado G60 and ignoring that caused a bent piston. Ive...

Errr, I like the wheels. A lot of time and effort has been put in to make it unique and original. But just not my cup o tea. Sorry. Respect for the amount of time and effort put into it tho.

No need for a lottery win for that. Just go out and buy a second hand fast road bike.

No point in an unmodified 172. The S3 is faaaaaast. I would love one of those. It looks good, goes like stink and the Audi build quality is second to none. However the 23k+ price tag was a bit high for me.

Pah!!! You all know black is the ONLY colour to have on a 172.

Yep, Ive got one. Currently on my 172 - C3 MAG and Im waiting until payday to get another. Not willing to say what incase some bugger goes and buys it. I may put the new one on instead of the C3 plate and then sell the C3 Plate, as Ive been told I can get double my money on it. Also anyone...

All of the suggestions about sending stuff to their house probably wont work. I bet the little gits live with their parents. If you dont live around there, then revenge will be a sweet way to go. Use superglue on the locks. Pour rancid milk in the heater vents near the windscreen. As the...

Dont ya just hate new roads? Ive just taken my nice shiney 172 for a quick blast to the shops and back, and the council are busy laying a new road on my route. It isnt quite finished yet, and the tar was still wet. I now have the task of cleaning a load of tar from the bottom front, side and...

Thats one of the best colours to have them in! These cars are awesome. A guy I used to work with had one. LHD only, but the acceleration was something else. His was standard and in red, but there was a fella he knew had a yellow, sorry gallia, one with 700bhp!! Needless to say it when like...
