Hello! New 172 owner

[Spudey]

Hi all,

I'm Ryan and I'm from somewhere north of Aberdeen, Scotland.

Just got my new car last night and loving every second of it so far.

It's a Monaco Blue RenaultSport Clio 172, '53 plate 47k miles.

Seems like it's completely standard, paintwork needs some TLC though. Bonnet is riddled with stone-chips and looks like someone has used a scouring pad to wipe off some bird poop.

Will give it a good clean up when I've got a few spare hours, unfortunately i'll be away with work all weekend so it'll have to wait.

I've got pics but Flickr is a pain while i'm at work so I can't get the embed url.

Welcome to ClioSport Ryan! i joined last month.

Loving the 172, I've got a black one! planning to keep it standard, drop it slightly, re-map and custom exhaust in the next 2 months.... that way it looks like a standard 2.0L 16V 172bhp when actually it will be faster!

Thanks Cheryl, I'm looking to keep mine pretty standard, just need to get it tidied up a bit.

Stuck on an oil rig just now though, can't wait to get back spend some time with it.

You have any pics of yours?

I bet, my uncle & cousin work on the rigs! - i have put an album in the gallery section on here - if you search under my username you'll find it.

Yeah I saw it, looks sweet in the black when it's maintained properly.

Cheers mate, is yours one of the last 172s then? I thought mine was quite a late model because it has cruise control.

Any pics of yours? i'm looking for inspiration to get mine up to scratch.
