I'm a month overdue!

[steve1052]

So ive had the 172 for just over a month now and still haven't posted any pics up! Seen it was a nice day gaver her a clean and here are the results:

The mods I have done so far are:
Plain Number plates
Simioni Racing Small aerial
Cliosport tax disc holder
Justmatz set of custom mats
JVC ks-1000 head unit with ipod
Future Mods:
Carbon fibre splitter
Cliosport sticker when it eventually arrives
And that should finish her off nicely. And NO I don't want to lower it, I enjoy a pracitcal and comfy ride for once. Comments welcome.....Steve

P.S Original 172 mats will be in the for sale section!

[172cupwizard]

Nice mate, im lovin the mats!

 

[JR]

import?

 

[Lee]

Lovely my first Renault Sport Clio was Monaco blue.

That must be a late registered early 03 car as it's not got cruise control.

I'd bin the matts, otherwise a excellent example of Monaco blue.

 

[steve1052]

Could of been if it was just before 5.....on my way to work.

 

[S77CCP]

You sure, there appears to be no window etching?

 

[Da]

and no alarm LED.

 

[S77CCP]

Time to double check the service book!

 

[fUbAr]

where did you get the mats from?

car looks superb!

 

[fUbAr]

and no alarm LED.

or security protection stickers...

 

[S77CCP]

Looks just the same as my Monaco 172, except yours has ESP, and mines a Dutch import.

 

[Da]

Yeah the late 172's 53/04's were fitted with ESP as standard iirc, but that definitely looks like an import to me.

 

[S77CCP]

Mines a '02 plate so has no ESP or cruise control, but.....

There is no aftermarket alarm hiding in the engine bay like mine, and there are stickers on the panel under the bonnet which I don't have, interest.

 

[S77CCP]

Only way to tell is in the service history book, it will have the cars origin in there, for me it was Renault Amsterdam even though the car came from Nixon Renault Hull.

 

[steve1052]

Positive There is an LED and window etching

 

[fUbAr]

Mats are from Justmatz!

 

[Da]

how can you be so sure it's not an import? I'm not saying it definitely is you just seem very certain? Car looks nice and clean BTW, rare as those 04 plate 172's!

I was positive because it had them features everyone said, but could have been wrong. Checked the service book and its from Limassol Branch........Cyprus isnt it?

 

[Da]

Yeah mate, Cyprus it is
Check it has the alarm added as most insurance companies will need the alarm to cover a group 16 car!

So your saying it wont have an alarm?

 

[Da]

Imports don't normally have one unless one was fitted when it was imported. Check for the ultrasonic sensors at the top of each A pillar as yours obviously doesn't have the alarm LED which would be mounted next to the gear lever on the passenger side.

 

[sophia]

nice car love the monaco blue

 

[S77CCP]

has it got locking wheel nuts too?

Welcome to the import Monaco club too!
