Snappy is a miracle worker!
This morning I took delivery of my favourite upgrade for any car I have ever owned. Snappy is well known on these forums for being the man to go to when you want your steering wheel re-trimmed and so I did just that. All the way through the process Snappy was fantastic with communication and even sent me a few update photos via SMS. I went for black leather with blue stitching and blue center marker and black thumb grips with black stitching. The quality of the work is second to none and I honestly can't recommend this guy enough, the improvement to the interior of the car is amazing and I personally see it as an investment. I would of paid twice the £120 cost of this and still been more than happy. I will let the photos do the rest of the talking (although I apologise for their poor quality) (the silver center marker you can see in one pic is my mates - he may post pics of his in the future).
If you would like one done contact Snappy by PM

What is this ? and whats its purpose/what does it do ?
Sunday Update
Today I fitted my Skoda Fabia splitter, it was an utter bargain at under £20 posted (from Skoda, link here: http://www.skodaparts.com/product/front-bumper-splitter-spoiler-fabia-2007-2011-33930).
It's not fitted perfectly, a tiny bit wonky here and there but for the time being it looks 100% better than the 1.2 splitter that was fitted when I bought it. Here is a cheeky snap:

Well next weekend it's the Bedford track day so I'm just waiting for that now and my next move will depend on how the car goes on track. I do have some solid top mounts but I'm undecided as to whether I should fit them or sell them on and spend the money elsewhere.

I had a brilliant day out on track and passengering with Rob G, the car was faultless all day long and handled superbly. It was my first go so the first few laps of the day were very slow but throughout the day my lines improved and my technique got better and better, by the end I was very happy with my improvements and felt my laps were pretty quick in comparison with my earlier attempts. That being said, I was being overtaken all day long by almost everything haha.
Here are the pics I bought from the MSV photography site, I think they got some great shots! I think I was the only guy on track with a magic tree still dangling!

Since my track day I've replaced the rubber slam panel strip which is so much better quality than the tatty thing that was on there previously.

Also fitted an Aux-in kit to my standard stereo. Took a few mins to fit and works perfectly so was very happy with that.
Also given it a damn good clean (well, the local hand car wash did) and just driven it in the nice weather we've had recently.
Got it booked in this week for a service; oil + filter, gearbox oil, fuel filter etc...

Nice mate i am liking the 172 bits, looks good
Little update today in between sun and rain showers. Did an oil change with some Fuchs SuperSyn.
Off with the old cheap filter:
On with a genuine Renault item:
And whilst the injector guard was removed I saw this:
Car feels great to drive as ever and it is just a pleasure to own. I'm looking to refresh the fixings around the CAT soon and then look to get another track day booked.

RS lower inlets good good be careful not to snap them bolts for the injector guard dan.

However, over the last week my exhaust centre section has started sagging and catching on bumps that it didn't previously, and I can hear a blow. So, as a result, I've booked into my local Longlife dealer for a consultation and plan to eventually (sooner rather than later) have the whole centre section replaced with a shiny new, non-silenced section.
In the meantime, a few pics taken since my last update:
