Finally got some standard Renault diamonds to replace the shoddy black ones the previous owner put on so thought I'd give it a clean and get some photos.
Enjoy:
As above saw a 172 Exclusive parked outside the Portsmouth Uni student union, looked clean.
When driving home I then saw a flamer ph2 pulling into shall just before the m275, had 2 black wheels and 2 silver?
Anyone?
Hi,
I don't post many threads on here, but me and a friend went out for a little drive Tuesday night as it was nice and warm. As both cars were relatively clean and I had just put on my new Renault sport badge we decided to take a few pics, enjoy:
I'm really impressed with the new...
I know the subject of these badges has been covered a thousand times, but I'm torn between the Clio 197 style Renault sport badge, and the Clio 200 RS style. What are people's opinions, and which do you prefer?
Car in question is a RB 182 btw.
Cheers guys.
Moved from Clio Discussion - please...
Not necessarily looking to buy either, but was just looking at how broad the hot hatch market is at the 5k price point. Two very different takes, but where would your money go?

Hi, looking to get some spacers for my 182, it's got eibach springs with 172 cup turini's. It's only a road car, so I'm just looking for a little bit of an more aggressive look.
Could people post some pictures of theirs and what spacers they run so I can see what they look like, and what to go...
Just looking through some shampoo ideas, and I'm torn bewtween Dodojuice Supernatural, and their born to be mild. What experiences have people had with both?
Also, which wax gives the nicest shine to Racing Blue, I am currently using Dodo Juice Hard Candy, I'm quite happy, but I'm thinking...
Hi, had my 182 for about 3 months now, and ever since I got it the cruise control hasn't worked in 5th gear.
It works fine in 4th every time, and very very occasionally in 5th, but mostly it doesn't work. Has anyone had the same problem, or any ideas on what might be wrong?
My initial feeling...
Hi, looking to get my 182 mapped next month as it's got cat cams and a few other mods, but not been mapped. I've heard bad things about k-tec, but unsure on any alternative specialists in the south. Can anyone recommend any alternatives and give contact details if possible.
Thanks
Hi, just got a new automatic headlight sensor for my 182, just wondering how to remove the old one. I can't seem to get the trim off of above the rear view mirror. Any tips?
Hi,
I have a FF 182, I was thinking about taking off the sound deadening from the under side of the bonnet as it looks horrible and its dirty and pretty much impossible to clean.
My question is will this increase wind noise on the motorway much? I've seen a few people on here have done it, and...
Hi,
I picked up my clio 182 a couple of days ago, I've noticed there is alot of play in the lever when in 3rd, and 5th, and a small amount in 1st. It also crunches slightly when changing quickly into 3rd.
Could this be the linkage causing a vague shift and getting caught between gears or would...
Spent yesterday cleaning the cars as they were both in desperate need, and had a go with some Bouncer 22 hard wax on the clio, quite pleased with the results. Here are some of the photos, I think my iPhone has reduced the quality of some though.

Then drove...
As the prices of 200's seem to be dropping a little recently, I was just wondering if other than the visual things there is much difference between the 197 and 200. I think I read somewhere the 200 has more mid range punch? Not sure though
Just throwing a few ideas about with regards as to what to do to my 172 cup next, decided a remap is probably the best next thing. It has a k-tec exhaust and induction kit, otherwise the engine is standard. Just wondering what map to go for, it's not a track car so ultimate power is not the main...
As above really, I've currently got a 172 cup with k-tec coilovers, exhaust and induction kit, its done 98k and is generally pretty tidy. I've had it a year now and fancy a change, having looked at astra vxr's, golf r32's and similar I've decided none of them will really be as fun as the clio...
Looking through the classifieds it seems 197's are now going for roughly the same money as 182 trophy's, about 5-6k. I was just wondering what people prefer really. I've noticed on here alot of people who have had a mk2 rs, and change to a 197 sell up pretty quickly, is there any reason for...
Hi, I've got a clio 172 cup, from looking at cars on here and eBay I've noticed some people have removed their rear seats and put a false floor in place, so the car looks like it's never had rear seats. Is this something that can be bought or is it a DIY job? I like the oem 2 seat look. Cheers, Mark
I currently have a 172 cup, I'm looking for something different, weighing up the options but tbh I will probably end up keeping it lol. I've looked at m3's, evo 6's and m5's, but being 19 insurance is a joke. I was just wondering if a trophy is much of a step up from the 172 cup really. I like...
Saw the 172 cup parked by Southampton airport, looked standard and clean, and the trophy in the Fishers Pond pub car park, filthy but looked tidy. Anyone on here?
I have a Clio 172 cup, I was looking to upgrade to a Astra VXR, but have been put off by the handling and reliability of the turbos and gear box's, I've started to look into megane r26's, but on paper they don't seem to be much faster than the clio, is this the case?
I have a 172 cup, and the headlights look like toilet windows, I have attempted to referb them and failed. As a avoidance excersise and upgrade I'm looking into putting the xenons out of a non cup into it and killing two birds with one stone as it were. My question is, do these xenon lights just...
