Saw a 172 bonnet flip today.

I know its been talked about to death and most people are probably very well aware of it but I saw one first hand today so thought its got to be worth a post to remind people to always give there bonnet a good tug to check its shut.

Driving along (down St Marys way in Stockport) the van in front of me dodged around a car with hazards on, it was a very clean looking silver Ph2 172, bonnet was up, wondered what the problem could be....

as I passed the bonnet was more than up, screen and roof totalled and a miffed looking driver sat inside.

If it was anyone on here, you have my sympathy.

Can't remember if I had mine checked, or was it only ph1 Clio? Would you ring up, provide reg and they would let you know?

All mk2 clios yep ring and give reg maybe vin and they can tell you if it has been done.

Yeah its all MK2 clios. i had a service when i first got mine and they done it for me without even asking because they can be that bad. Get it done asap to avoid a nasty accident. Plus you get a nice shiny bonnet catch.

 

[STITCH.]

I got mines done about 3 weeks ago, Mines must have been bad it was really rusty.
