Fecking 'ell Rich!
Mine wasn't half as good as that when I picked it up new from the dealership!

Looks good Rich, looking forward to seeing it once it has been PCd. Mine is looking poor at the moment as it is stuck in the garage still, and I have also incurred some chips on the lower fender... 
But, considering it has covered 32k now, looks a minter. And yes, I know I still haven't put any pictures up but there are some on my camera waiting to be uploaded, just lazy!
Rich, where did you order your tyre dressing from, looks really good. At the moment I am using up my Turtle Platinum Series dressing with CG New Look Vinyl Dressing. They do look really good, but if I can cut down to one product can save a bit of time... cheers man.

Not at the moment
Cheers for the comments.
The Blackfire tyre dressing is only avaialble over here from polished bliss.
I very much doubt it will not look any different in the after PCing than what it does now. There is just some minor marring induced from cleaning at shows last year and some deeper random ones from the delaership factory which I will probably leave anyway.

Cool will pick up some next time I make an order. I WILL get some photos of mine up soon, without getting ahead of myself, I think mine must be a contender for cleanest 172 in the country right now. Although it is sitting in the garage right now, I keep imagining people keying it... there have been a few sleepless nights!
Yeh I know... it was due a Spring polish and full works though so am prepared for the worst. As long as they don't wash it!
I have managed to get a 50% discount from Renault as a goodwill discount from Renault towards my exhaust. It is apparently a known problem on 172s (and 182s?) with the exhaust. No way should it corrode after 3 years though. Rubbish French cars!!
Yeh pretty rubbish really. As I said in a previous post, hopefully by the time I want my next car I can afford a new Audi TT 2.0T or either a 130 Sport 3 door or Coupe, or even a Golf GTI. I know the Meg sport is very capable but just doesn't appeal to me like the Clio. I guess once they bring out a hotter 197 that could appeal to me though, the current one just seems to lack drivers appeal at the moment.
Have you seen the new 135 Copue though?! Would probably go for that over the new M3. We have a 130 3 door sport in metallic white at the moment in the press lane and it looks stunning.
GTi in white looks fantastic though, and also cheaper. Would still always go for the roundel though if I can afford it.
BMW have actually brought out a new paint protection system called Seal & Protect, I have never used it myself but would be interesting to see how well it works. Would anyone be interested in trying if I can get some samples? (No promises though!)
I hate the 5 door 1 Series, even the 130i isn't great looking, but the 3 door and Coupe are stunning things. I am quite surprised you don't like BMW though,we make some great looking cars. 3 Series Coupe... 3 Series Convertible... new 5 Series... 6 Series... new X5, and also a few new ones on the way which are pretty interesting (Porsche beware!)

Thats done no miles, and is bloody clean. I wish my hoses etc was clean. The underside is so badly dirty compared to that.
I like the car, would be amazing to sell that, would get a lot of money for it.
Thanks for listing products, im going to get some gel for my tyres now.

It's got to be said.
WOW.
If that doesnt inspire people to look after their cars nothing will. I think we'd all love our cars in that condition
