Slam Panel Stickers In Engine Bay

Im looking to buy a 172 for my Mrs and have found a nice little example but have noticed in the advertising pictures that the stickers usually on the black moulding in front of the engine seem to be missing.

Is there any important information on these such as Vin no's or are they just oil and service schedule sort of stuff???

Just ringing alarm bells in my head about possible accident damage?? :S
 
just some renault warning sticker and an elf sticker IIRC..

nothing of importance.

is it a full UK model and NOT an import??

noticed on AJRMOTORSPORT's car pics he hasnt got any on his?

I'd be a little sceptible if they've peeled off cuz im sure renault designed them not to????

Hmmm, im thinking accident damage now maybe because the price is pretty competitive!!!! ;)

The only one that is likely to peel off is the white one, (started to curl up on my 172 & 182) has a hand written date on so prob stuck on by one of the kosovan's in the factory. The others are stuck well good so sounds a little bit suspect. So just have a good look under the bonnet and make sure everything looks straight.

My white one has started to peel, others are fine and dandy. Where's the vin no. on the Clios?

When I had the front of mine repaired the replacement black panel came without stickers. Defo get that checked out. There's a plate containing all sorts of info on a sticker inside the drivers door next to the catch.

My mate had a delocked GT turbo that the battery kept dying on and he had to get in through the boot all the time, lol.

i'd say if it hasn't got them, by the looks of things there's a bloody good chance its been replaced following damage. (My import has them).

My mates Saph is currently the same as that!
 
lol, luckily my mate is a short assed skinny fucker so we used to lift him out rather than him trying to clamber over the rear seatback.

doesn't mean anything Ali, mine's an import and has them. Are you sure your's hasn't been bumming other cars up the rear end?

my RS still has all its stickers and it's nearly 6 years old.

i'd be a little wary of it.

Here's how they look on a Mk1 172...

No Probs, I can get the origionals in a bigger size if needed.

I got my front grill sprayed, and it doesnt have stickers on, this will probably look dodgy when i sell it, but I have saved the stickers.

My white sticker has gone missing but the black ones are still there.

IIRC, think mine is the same actually, I don't recall seeing the white one on my import, definately got all the black ones though. Gonna check.

what does the white sticker have on it? As I saw on a crappy pic of mine I had that it had one on it
