No i am just fussy! I wanted the stone chips taking out of the front bumper and bonnet and someone keyed my drivers door. My dad has his own garage and colour matching the silver is a b*tch so i had the lot done.
Could one of the forum moderators move this into the for sale section as i am not allowed to post in there as i am not a club member.
My pride and joy has to go now and i need a quick sale. Its was advertised for £6400 but i have reduced the price to £5500 because i need a quick sale.

Sold my girlfriends 2002 1.2 dynamique with 40K on the clock for £3700 on autotrader. Probably not the best place to advertise on forums as you lads all know what they are worth, better than the general public.
Have i priced my car right to sell it?
Is it too much or too little, the prices for 172s seem to be all over the place!

I have got my car back eventually! I will post some pics up soon. (She looks like brand new)
What do i do now?
I know its possible to push 215bhp out of my engine with some serious money spent on it!
I have a budget of £3000 and at the moment only have a Ktec stainless steel system fitted...
I forgot to mention, i also have the bottom end of my old engine for the 172 in the garage, if anyone wants it for spares pm me, there is nothing wrong with it, other than its in the way. I live near manchester.
No the flywheel came loose and fcuked up all the internals of my engine, and while my dads works replaced the engine i got them to make it look like new again.
I get my cs back!
New engine, full respray except roof, re-con. alloys, new tyres - i have just been to see it, its look like a new car again, i just cant sell it now, it looks way to good!
Very tempted to get it GDId! 210bhp (ish) sounds soooo tempting.
I will get some pics up on tues...
Ive had A539s on my 206 GTI, 306 GTI-6 & Clio 172 they seem fine to me. They do tend to wear away quickly.
The outright grip always seemed good to me & for £45 you cant go wrong really.
I used to have a 206 GTI (138). Dont buy one its nothing like a 172. The mondeos at work had better handling and would pull away from me on a motorway.
26 - 38mpg all depends on how you treat it.
172 = 169bhp
182 = 179bhp
Interiors are nearly identical.
Personally i would go for a full phat 182 with the CUP packs, - all the toys and great handling!
He was alright when i met up with him last night! Just a bit shook up. It hasnt stopped him looking for a replacement though. He has just come out of the Mazda dealership with brochures for a new RX-8. He has got to wait six weeks before the insurance company will start processing the claim...
No injuries, but he is badly shaken! Im going to see him after work.
He was asking me. If he did the right thing handing his keys over, of course it was the right thing!!!! Its only a bit of metal at the end of the day and it can be replaced!
Just a word of warning to all of us with are hot hatches, i have just come of the phone to my seriously shook up mate, who has just had his 52 plate, civic Type R hijacked from him at the local petrol station in manchester.
Two lads parked up behind him, waited for him to fuel up, got out of...
I recieved my new Golf GT TDI yesterday. 138bhp and it doesnt half pull! In gear acceleration is superb! Not as fast as my 172 but more usable! I still wouldnt make the change though! It still sounds like a tractor, and i love the 7200rpm limit on my 172 not the 5200rpm on the golf! Thats why my...
54,000miles and its knackered! New engine being fitted with only 21,000miles on the clock, Bodywork currently being resprayed to get rid of any imperfections and stone chips and my alloys have been refurbished.
Should hopefully drive like new when i finally get it back.
I got the same email for my girlfriends car and posted it yesterday. Its all a scam. I have has another about a dentist purchasing his car for his son! All bo**ocks!
Take a look at this c*ap, i have recieved this email regarding my girlfriends clio i am selling on autotrader.
