Went for a walk in the New Forest today, got back to the car and it was gleaming, having spent this morning cleaning it again. Thought i would take a few pics...

i love the way Titanium Silver sparkles in the sun:

Ill try and guess the comments that will pop up... so read these answers before commenting....


The car would look better lower, but the Eibach Pros are on there for handling
I have never been to the Ring, i just like the look of the sticker on there
The standard wheels suit the car and I prefer 15" for the handling.
Bump strips will be colour coded, just waiting for Chris to send them
The horses name is Jasper.

Lovely. Not usually a fan of the exhausts hanging below the bumper on the Rss, but looks much better on the mk1....

And how did you get your RenaultSport badge so shiny??!!

yup same as the 182 silver. Reeno saw sense and brought the colour back on the 182 . The Mk2 172s were different.

 

[JamesRT]

I recognise that car park, is that nearish Brockenhurst?

 

[fUbAr]

nah mate, its just at the entrance to the forest by Thorny Hill. You know the bit thats dead straight with the single lane give way bits?

 

[JamesRT]

Ah yeah... think I know where you mean, all those new forest car parks look the same to me!.

 

[rock]

very nice mate - one of the nicest mk1 172s........

note to self: must organise ph2 lights soon.

 

[CHRIS172CUP]
