How doodly do

[m4tth3w]

Matt from Barnsley. I've just bought a 172 and here it is

I bought a brand new 182 when they came out in 2004 and loved it. I tinted the windows, had dancing under led lights, big power flow twin exhausts and chipped it. I kept it 18 months and always missed it.

so hello to one and all

Welcome to ClioSport. Enjoy your stay here...

Welcome to the fold Matthew

Any plans for your new 172?

Has that been in a front end bump? Its missing the xenons?

 

[m4tth3w]

Wow 1st post in and Johnny neg head already chipping in.

I don't know if it's been in a bump as I've only just bought it.

As for plans just a new steering wheel as the thumb grips r shot or I may just buy the carbon grips and replace them and I need a new remote key as only came with one.

it already has induction kit and sports exhaust. The induction sounds nice but I may invest in a standard exhaust as I've outgrown my boy racer days lol

 

[Stan.]

Johnny neg head lol!

Looks nice mate, just needs xenons!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

No need to be arsey mate i was merely pointing something out that you more than likely missed, thats all.

 

[Fraser.J.]

Wana buy a set of xenons?

 

[m4tth3w]

I dunno what lights are in it but they seem to have the xenon effect.

bright white light that starts off full then gets bright almost like fluorescent lights

 

[Knuckles]

Previous owner could've sold the xenons before chopping the car in?

hi and welcome

 

[m4tth3w]

What's benefit over what I've got for xenons? I'm from Barnsley so I dunt like spending money unless it's necessary

 

[Addicted]

Xenons are standard, you don't have Xenons, so it's odd.

That's all he was pointing out, welcome regardless.

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

welcome, another local lad, join the yorkshire group.

i doubt its been in a bump. its still got the black inserts in the bumper, usually the first thing to go, not the xenon's lol.

I lol'd!

Welcome mate

It could've been a crash or they could've just been replaced as the plastic deteriorated like most or the ballasts and lamps failed, you still have the insert stickers on the bumper so that points away from a crash. Anyhoo it looks decent hope you enjoy it!

 

[m4tth3w]

What r the insert stickers?

 

[m4tth3w]

Has that been in a front end bump? Its missing the xenons?

I'm thinking maybe ur right lol cos it's got headlamp washers and I can't find a switch to use them?

Any advice appreciated please guys

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

The headlamp washers should activate when you spray the front window i.e pulling on the right hand stalk.

If it has been in a bump, they probably wouldn't have bothered rigging up the headlamp washers as they're not a requirement of halogen lamps (that you have).

 

[m4tth3w]

Why not needed for halogen plese?

 

[m4tth3w]

Ah it appears one works and one doesnt. Is it easy to connect or will I have to remove headlamp?
