from what Ive heard the Exclusives.......err arent!
Theres quite a few with duplicated numbers. How do i know this? Someone who works for reno told me theyre always getting people going in for new kickplates and finding out theyre been duplicated on different cars, hence more than 172... Reno strike again!
Werent the exclusives all "scarab green" tho....
Look during the search for my cars Limited No. i have delved a lot deaper than you can imagine so please dont call me a liar, if pressed renault could provide you with a list of the cars and their original owners. However this is covered by the data protection act so they wont divuldge this info to us mere mortals. If you know something i dont then please do give some evidence as i would be most interested to hear of other 172 exclusive with authentication issues, but unless your gonna back these claims up with proof not hearsay please dont spout sh*t bringing into question the integrety of peoples cars. Mine as far as renault are aware is the only 172 exclusive that does not have a unique limited No. (Fact!)

wo get her!
when did i call you a liar?!
I am talking fact as far as I know it. Theres a guy who comes on here who works for Reno (most people probably know who Im on about anyway), he has told me that (nationwide) there has been requests for sill plates with the same numbers, on cars with different registrations, hence duplicated.
Its not about authentication issues, its about Reno making more than 172 and running out of numbers, simple as.

Silly me i thought forums spead rumours and all along its been gospel, thanks for enlightening me! Ususaly these little gems of info are posted out of jealousy or spite. Not sure this is the case with yourself as you already have a 172 so you would have nothing to gain, im just saying you should take whats said on here with a pinch of salt and not pass it on without a care to think of the reprocusions after sale value for one. I would love to know the name of this renault employee as he seems to know more than the top brass at alpine, diepee and UK HQ.
Maybe i should ask him what No. it is?
P.S i didnt say you called me a liar i was pre-empting it in your subsequent post
Tried everyone JAY172 & JEREMY etc. Know one Knows, all Jeremy said was it doesnt have a Number, i sent him a follow up message to ask why and never got a reply! Im begining to lose all faith in the system if Renault cant identify there own cars then i might just get a limited edition P1, 22b or Lancia HF evolution etc.
Thats Renult for you. When I went to them for some warently work a while ago I waited at the counter whilst the receptionist was talking to the mechanic. HE was telling her that the build sheets for the car werent right as the couldnt understand why parts didnt fit the car. Seems the who car was missing in the Renault system. The chassic numbers and plates and other car details matched up to another car in the system.
It doesnt fill you with much nope.
