I've bought a set of 5 wheels (4 x alloys 1 x steel spare) from a very nice chap on this here forum (Aaron2) and am looking to use them on my ph2 172.
Currently running stock 5 spokes 195/45/16 and have bought a set of 15's (in the same style, just smaller) that have some tired looking...
Yes, they did paint the whole bonnet! But one side looks awful as it has little pits all over it. I know it's not terrible (you wouldn't see it from a distance) but even allowing for the blown-over chips the paint finish is not nearly as good as the standard panels.
I've been quite good about...
Any insurance bods on here that can help/advise? I had a minor ding on the front of my 172, just needed a new bumper, a few plastic panels, kerbed the two front alloys and a few shallow dents removing from the front of the bonnet.
So I took it to my insurance approved repairer and thought...
Have seen these alloys : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RENAULT-MEGANE-SCENIC-10-SPOKE-ALLOY_W0QQitemZ250521996958QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET?hash=item3a54464e9e on a few Meganes and thought that they would look quite nice on my '02 172.
It's currently got the...
I've nearly finished painting the door bullets on my 172 as they were looking a bit tired. After I've laquered them is it worth baking them in the oven?
I haven't got a clue what times/temperatures bodyshop ovens run, and I'm not too keen on cleaning a great big blob of plastic from the...
Currently have Toyo T1r's on and they are good in the dry, but IME a bit hit and miss in the wet. I've got a Conti on the spare that seems good.
So I'm looking at more Toyo's (cheap and cheerful) Conti sport 3's (a bit more and should be good) Or PE2's (yeah they're pricy, but they seem to...
What tyres were fitted as standard to 172's? Am I right to think that PE2's were brought in for the 182? and is the PE2 THAT much better than whatever came before it? They are a bit pricy, but just trying to justify the extra cost really....
Thanks Beef,
The garage are claiming that it doesn't exist, not good considering they are a Renualt dealer! Is there any way of finding part numbers on the net?
Hi All,
Having a bit of an issue with some shonky insurance repairs after a minor front end prang. I had to remove the Grille from my 02' 172 as the grille panel was blocking the bonnet release catch.
The old grille had two small plastic panels that sat behind the mesh, the one...
I'm steadily killing the front tyres on my 172 (195/45/16 ToyoT1R's) and I'm looking to put some PE2 Michelins on instead. I've seen threads where folks are fitting 205's instead (mostly on 182's though) do they rub? as I've always thought that the 195's look a bit stretched on and make the...
OK, so I've seen UK Clio's on 15in rims in the same design as the 16's on my (UK spec) 172, but they look to be running 185's instead of 195's. does that mean that if I try to get some 15's on the UK S/H market they'll be narrower than the same design "proper 172" 15's that the rest of the world...
