Got one! Well.... its on its way!
After looking at a few that ended up not to be good enough, I decided to call in the local Renault dealer.....to cut a long story short, I've reserved a 172 thats being brought from another renault dealer. Should be with the dealer Tuesday for me to test drive and then hopefully with me at the weekend.
Ended up spending more than I originally planned...but I'm also getting a better car. 2003 52 plate, silver, 43k miles. Got it for £6k. Get the main dealer warranty thats gets rolled over every year if I let them MOT and service it, plus a £150 worth of holiday vouchers! Car was up for £6,500 originally.
Can't wait! Assuming it drives well and is in A1 condition then its mine and will post a few pics when I have it.
Also, had a look round the Megane F1 in liquid yellow and the Clio 197, both very nice.
