I wanted the stealth look but the noise was unbearable. It directed the noise down at the road and right back up into the car, total nightmare on motorway. This is as subtle as I could get and difference in noise is night & day.

Ah right. I'm just lucky then as mines not too bad. Starts grating a bit after 2 hrs.

What site are they on? PH?

I have a 172 Cup as a project.
But this thread makes me want a Ph1 again.

I loved the one I owned at 18.
 
Might not be to everyones taste but I don't normally run these stickers anyway :tongueout: It was for an event I did this year. It's called the RevRun for anyone interested. Some people from the UK also joined.

I do miss driving this thing on the Ring :/

Just seen a flame red Ph1 on Pistonheads. £2500. Seems a bit steep considering lack of history. Also I recognise it from somewhere but can’t remeber where, anyone know it?
Still on the look out for one to replace my Octavia....

That's Baz Thorne. He's a nice guy. My uncle knows him very well and I've spoken to him plenty of times. He used to live literally just round the corner from my work but oddly I've never met him in person. He's who I bought my 2118s from, new.

Owns blueprint Autosport. (205gti tuners)

Does seem a tad high but tbh the advert reads great and is honest so at least you know what your getting. Im sure theres room for haggling.

looks decent tbh and I would guess he has removed the bucket seat and refitted the standard one for sale

only quibble for me is cambelt as well as it will be a 500 quid job this year, so i'd be going in at 2k max

My thinking exactly.

I’ve just tried to work out if I can go look at it but the world doesn’t want me to 😞 I have zero time pretty much all of January. However never say never, I might work it out somehow as this is exactly the thing I am after. Standard, looked after, little bit of tinkering that can be done and he knows how to write an advert. Hate it when people can’t do that properly.

It's kind of strong money just after Christmas too so you may be lucky and it'll still be around in Feb
However trying to find one for sale is getting harder and harder so may get bought quick. Just can't tell tbh

This is it, it's defo strong money for a ph1, especially for having under a year left on the belts.
However the flip side is if it's gotta be a flamer then you don't have much choice.

wouldn't be an exclusive anymore then though and run the risk of devaluing. although spose you just keep original wheels and interior in a shed out the way where they can't hurt anyones eyes, then when you sell sell with both options.

I have storage for the interior and wheels for future value. But don’t want the hassle of doing it. Rather have a red or blue one without the interior swap.

I heard Renault planned to sell the exclusive in more numbers but could only find 172 people that liked the interior enough to buy it.....

I don't actually mind the interior that much...

The seat colour doesn't upset me, but the beige plastics do. Change those to the standard 172 stuff, modify the door cards so they use the leather in the standard grey/blue plastic and I think it would look quite cool...
