PH1 172s

leeds_182 · May 28, 2017

I haven't seen one on the road in ages and saw one yesterday.

What a good looking car they are now! Didn't use to like the front end on them but much prefer them to the 172 now.

Only ever had one before which was an exclusive but seeing that one had me heading to the classifieds.

They look pants as standard imo

Stefan. · May 28, 2017

Still look good imo

Scotts was by far the best.

Cataracts.

daveski · May 28, 2017

Love them. I had two, should never have sold the first one

Jekyll · May 28, 2017

Yeah the look much cooler than there successors imo.

They look wicked with spacers and lows.

So you prefer them to your rb mate?

massiveCoRbyn · May 28, 2017

Best looking of the bunch. The sport bits look a bit more "stuck-on" than on the Ph.2, but that really adds to the appeal for me.

imprezaworks · May 28, 2017

As standard they do imo look a bit meh. A touch of lowz sets them off

Yes bud.

I wished I'd kept my old ph1 and got it sprayed but at the time it wasn't worth it. Hindsight I guess.

Trying to find a mint one with no rust is hard now.

They just look cool.

imprezaworks · May 28, 2017

Yours was ace

Jekyll · May 28, 2017

1 of 99 and rust free too.

Djw John · May 28, 2017

If I could find a rust free non silver one I'd swap the rb for it for sure.

imprezaworks · May 28, 2017

I owned mine for two years so can't be too bad. Can see me keeping the rb longer,

Maybe.

Daniel · May 28, 2017

Silver (or Green) Ph1, lowered with spacers, a decent steering wheel and you're f**king winning. Great cars. Best looking too.

ChrisR · May 28, 2017

Wish I'd kept my black one all those years ago

Daniel · May 28, 2017

I wish I'd kept X404HOU (the CS slag) and saved it from the crusher.

So glad the Odyssey fell into my lap when it did. Super looking things. Miles better looking than the phase 2

Think mine went through 2 or 3 more people on here after me, not sure where it is now though.

Someone did but it wasn't me, find me the same but not silver!

ChrisR · May 28, 2017

Couldn't remember who had mine, forget who bought it off me, then it was sold to theduck http://www.cliosport.net/threads/pearl-black-ph1-172-£800.724081/
Then looks like it went in 2014 but not sure where after http://www.cliosport.net/threads/black-ph1-172-£900-surey.728462/

only got silver sorry.

Djw John · May 28, 2017

Get the brushes and rollers out then!

gwyn rallye · May 28, 2017

I think they look great from the front (better than 1*2) but shite at the back. The back bumper has always looked wrong to me.

Daz. · May 28, 2017

I still want an exclusive now!

Willliams · May 29, 2017

The original, and still the best in raw, driver involvement... Love an original 172.

Kelv sold it to @Chi

I went to buy it but was put off by the rattly dephaser, so ended up buying AD52 BHP from @Daniel

Daniel · May 29, 2017

Good choice sir...

masekwm · May 29, 2017

Oddly, day before I bought it, I was at @leeds_182 house looking at his Cup, if he'd text me earlier I'd never have bought it.

3 years later, I can't bring myself to get rid of it!

They have that effect. My mk1 is in a million pieces in the garage, it will realistically never get finished, but I can't bear to part with it. It's a member of the family! Lol

yeecup · May 30, 2017

Had djw john flamer years back, loved it until the timing belt snapped, then bought the mint iceberg one off r sports cars which was a cracking little car which Dr Jekyll bought off me which is also now dead. I'm cursed

Djw John · May 30, 2017

Aye, that went years early as well, think you might be right about being cursed actually.

It was completely rotten when I had it

Christopher · May 30, 2017

I'd have another in a heartbeat. I miss mine way more than my old 182.
