Which Phase 1 cars came with alloy bonnets?



  ph1 172 Excl, Cossie
As above dudes, I am presuming the Cup models only?

Thinking of changing mine, and knowing which models to hunt down!

Thanks

Don't think there is a specific answer as to what ones, some did and some didn't. luck of the draw i suppose
 
  phase 1 flamer 172
Sure I read on here the earlier models had them, until they ran out and used steel. (mines got one, X reg)
 
  225 Cup & Williams
Think it's luck of the draw tbh. My first ph1 was a 2000 W and had an alloy bonnet and shift light. My current ph1 is a 2001 Y and has neither but I've fitted an alloy bonnet to it.

Oh like that is it!

As they say, everyday is a school day eh?!

Looks like my nail missed out on one! Will keep my eyes open for one!

Thanks fellas

I could well be wrong here, but I think only some silver cars had them. I've never heard of any other colour having one, but like I say, I could well be wrong!
 
  Silver Clio 172 Phase 1
I've got a an alloy ph1 bonnet sitting in my spare room its in titanium with a couple of stone chips but not bad condition, if any one wants it pm me an offer?
 
I have alloy bonnet and shift light cos mine is a Wreg ;)

as far as i know most Wreg and a handful of Xreg have the alloy bonnets but as stated before,it was luck of the draw who got what.

I dont think I have a shift light!

Silly question Barry, but where is it on the clocks? Anybody have a pic?!

Intriguing this!
 
on the ph1 its a little green gearstick symbol...it's on the left of the clocks under the tyre pressure warning light(don't bother asking about this one though as no clio of our range had this fitted lol)
 
and you will only notice it when you turn the ignition on,then it goes out with the rest of the lights.....the only other time you will see it is if you rag the nuts off the car as it comes on around 7250 rpm....i only did this once as i don't cane my car that much.

I dont think mine has that! Why remove a little thing like that though?!

Come On Renault!
 
  ph1 172 Excl, Cossie
Errr, my retort will be....But green ones are faster.....

sorry, but it's the best I can do considering mine is basically a campus with a bigger engine.....
 
Mine has an ally bonnet and is titanium on a W reg. Has the shift light too, not that I'd ever see it with the OMP wheel getting in the way.
 
  ph1 172 Excl, Cossie
Right, I have to get one now!!

Shift light could be more of a prob though.....
