Scott's Super Clean PH1 172 Project Thread

[Mr R.]

Yes mate powdered.

The wheels where my spares I had sitting in the garage.
I don't know if wheels fitted with tyre's would be extra.

 

[Kyle 86]

He seems to care about what he does, also as its only him doing the work he can control what goes out of the door.

Im looking forward to getting the wheels back.

Hes a lovely bloke is John and is great at what he does

 

[Mr R.]

Yes mate, hence me leaving 6 wheels with him.

Looking forward to seeing them now.

 

[SharkyUK]

I know there was only a few small chips but the wipers look so much better now. @SharkyUK okay for you??? :rasp:

Meh, I guess they're a bit better... x

 

[Mr R.]

Meh, I guess they're a bit better... x

Thanks Andy, i can sleep better now.

Haven't done anything to the car and im still waiting on my wheels to come back from JP Polishing, i hope they will be done in time from the French Car show in Oct.

I have however bought these, i thought it would be a nice little touch to add to the cars history.

A V reg 172? Can't be many of them at all!

 

[Mr R.]

Its LHD so it must be an import mate.

 

[Djw John]

Ah good point, never seen one before a W so I bet Renault brought it over just for the press

 

[corsarally]

Yeh the V plate was the press test cars.
Ive got one of the very first W plate 172s and owned it from new.VERY impressed with your car Scott..

 

[Mr R.]

[.Stevo.C.]

My one was a 1 owner before I bought it. The guy I bought it from was nearly in tears when I drove away.

 

[SharkyUK]

Thanks Andy, i can sleep better now.

Don't get too comfy... I've got a job for you and a list of other issues I noticed with your car (but didn't tell you about)...

 

[Mr R.]

PM me, i cant deal with the embarrassment. :rasp:

 

[Cupman29]

Wow, impressive length of time to own one, cant be too many 1 owner cars now!

Not a ph1 but my cup is a 1 owners car and this won't change. Lol

[dmallett]

[cat171]

Having finally seen this car in actual real life, I can confirm it is every bit as good as it looks in the pics I was even too scared to put my arm on it when he had the door open.

Scott, it's a real credit to you! :approve:

 

[Inequality Street]

Have you had the alloys back yet Scott?

Hearing it the other day as Scott turned up at Southend, it sounds just as good as it looks too.

No not yet Ry, im not in a rush. However it would be nice to get them back in time for the French car meet in Oct.

Cheers dude, i need someone to drive it while i stand at the side of the road.

Its going to be hard for you to find somebody you'll let drive it!

 

[Mr R.]

Flol, im not that bad mate. There are quite a few on here who id trust tbh.

 

[Mr R.]

I collected my wheels from JP Polishing a few days before FCS, John swapped my tyres over from the wheels on my car to the spare set he did for me.

I also got John to fit a set of stainless steel valves that id had in my garage for a while, i think they look smart.

While the wheels where off i sent the bolts away to be plated.

[Chi]

[BoatNonce]

Yeah, with S/S you'll need to put some dag on them.

[Mr R.]

A few pictures i took of the car yesterday while i gave it a clean, the car has sat on the drive all dirty after the drive home from the FCS at Don.
Im also still trying to learn how to use my DLSR so excuse the mass of pictures. :smile:

New wheels fitted along with the plated bolts.
