Saw your 172 parked in Tesco tonight. Not sure if you spotted my black Megane 225? :)

Thanks for all the positive comments guys! :cool: I've removed the Dews dealer sticker already, haven't bothered taking the Elf one off yet! Need to get a better tax disc holder too as that's also a dealer one. :dapprove: Will be taking a look at the Cooksport springs, saw Ash87's R26...

Well it's a much nicer place to be sat than the Clio, lots of storage compartments and the centre arm rest is awesome for motorway cruising. Visibility is much better when checking blind spots, parking and the likes. The ride quality is much better without being too soft, it just seems to soak...

Well, I've been on this forum for a while and have much enjoyed owning my 172. I'm sure some of you have seen my car in the past as I posted a lot in the media section! I've since sold the Clio and have moved onto one of my dream cars. A Black/Gold Renaultsport Megane 225 to be precise! I've...

I'm around there a fair bit as I usually get my petrol there, though I'm now driving a BG Megane 225. Will keep an eye out for you chaps! :)

Just going to throw a few of my favourite pictures of my car in here throughout the time I've had it. Hope you like them! :cool:

Check out Rhino Alloys in Tarleton. I had my Turinis done there and they look awesome. They might cost a bit more compared to some places but the finish on them is immense. I think they have a winter sale on at the moment too, only a choice of 6 colours though! Starts from £220 for a set of...

Did a track day today at Donington and just thought I'd share a few pictures (pictures taken by Xtreme Sports Photography). It was my first track day experience and I'll certainly be doing more in the future as it was epic fun, would have liked a few more sessions out on track though. I had some...

Fairly mixed feelings then. I'm certainly not going to be driving like a hero as my car is also my daily driver. I might just take my car and see how I get on and if I feel the car needs better brakes I'll upgrade them as I would like to do more track days next year too. Will getting braided...

Evening all, I've got my first track day at Donington coming up soon and I'm a bit worried as to whether my current brake set up is going to handle a full day of punishment. I've currently got OEM spec Ferodo pads up front with Brembo HC discs and Mintex rear pads with standard rear discs. I've...

Yep on the Wirral, I'm around New Brighton a fair bit during the week as I work fairly close!

Thanks for the comments chaps :) I've got them ready to be painted! Just couldn't resist taking a few snaps while it was clean :cool:

Hello all, washed my car earlier and over the past few weeks I have done a few mods to it, namely the Cup spoiler and a set of refurbished Turinis (the centre caps will be painted shortly, refurb was done by Rhino Alloys in Tarleton who I highly recommend!). I've owned the car for over 2 years...

Evening all, I'll soon be putting a set of 172 Cup Turinis on my non Cup 172 but I'm after some locking wheel nuts before I put them on. Could anyone recommend a good quality set of suitable locking wheel nuts as I'm not really sure what I should be buying. I've measured the thread length on my...

Yeah I've read they've discontinued them, mytyres.co.uk seem to have some in stock though (I hope). What's the rim protection like on them? I'm going to be putting fresh tyres on my refurbed Turinis so would like some form of protection on them!
