On the way home on Friday saw a Trophy. Tbh, seen this one a few times... Gave you a few flashes and got a thumbs up.
In Llandudno spotted with a CS sticker. Was down Maddocks Street.
Both were red ;)
I was told I would have them by the end of this week and I haven't. Tbh, this has put me out. I'm rather pissed off. As I told him a few times my deadline. If this costs me anything in additional labour I'm going to recharge him.
I don't have much experience but will whack down my thoughts....
Firstly, if you repair it and buy it back I think it'll be impossible to sell in the future as the market for category registered cars is limited.
It also sounds as if the damage is substantial which means you could find more...
I'd get a supercharger instead if you're dead against selling the Trophy and getting an R26 or Focus RS mk1 for the same cash price.
TheJesus/Jon/KungfuSpaghetti has a s/c on his 172. Prior to the s/c he had throttle bodies. I think the s/c set up is putting out somewhere in the region of high...
I just got my mark out with a clay bar, autoglyn super resin polish. Came out really well tbh. However you can still see the slight dent where the scratch was. I'd recommend that technique.
For those of you which have the Mark Fish set up what adjustments did Mark make to the fronts? Did he increase the stiffness?
I'm wondering whether to get mine unpinned or not. I was quoted extra for having them unpinned vs just a standard refurb. The car will be doing some trackdays but not...
Wish people would do the noble thing and pay for damage like this. Someone has recently put a small dent and scratch in my drivers door, it's left some paint from the car which hit it.... Point being, there is no fucking way you could not notice you hit it. Guy doing whatever to yours would have...
Tbh, I haven't heard of too many people complaining about the boxes. Sure some go but not a common complaint. I'd get the new clutch cable first. Wouldn't suprise me if it was disengaging correctly would coluld cause crunchs. It's a monumnetal effot to fuck a box on 48k. Must be thrashing that...
Hi Andy,
Firstly welcome to the forum. I don't know if you're using www.cliosport.net but that is really focused on the mk2 RS range and I think you'd deffo get a fair bit of help.
I've had a 172 myself as well but not really had too many of the problems you've got but I'll try my best with...
Update is:
He's ordered the parts and will be able to send out the stuff from next week. If you're like me and only paid a deposit I guess you'll get a call to ask to pay the balance.
He said he wants this all done by the end of the month which suits me fine.
9 people have been confirmed and...
Re: Low Mileage no 207 for sale £8750
I don't wan to ruin your for sale thread tbh. I'll send you a pm on what I'd pay for a low miler if I didn't have mine....
I assume you mean the badges on the door you mean the 2.0 16V "bullets"? If you do - they are on three clips, like so:

Can be difficult to pull off without damaging the paint so be careful.
On the rear the Renault Sport are "stuck" on with tape. Again be careful when pulling...
