MrBlonde's 172 cup

[mintno1]

Bloody hell how was that?,its not to bad now i think roads comparied to this morning.
Would of been nice to take some proper photos mate,i should of brought my camera with me.where do you live then mate?@182_steve

Not too bad :smile: half a tank of fuel, bit of a bumpy ride, just enough noise from the exhaust and the slight rattle from the PMS shifter not naturally what the cup is meant for but it does it well really considering car full of people and luggage. Was bad here this morning people getting stuck and sliding about but by the time we got back not too bad really :up: Looks like you had some good fun in the snow

Cool Photo from this weekend washing the Cup from Mark @Dr Jekyll

And a couple more to add for the thread.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Looks very sweet!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jekyll]

Pics don't do the car justice, it sits perfect.

 

[yeecup]

Looks spot on.

Looks so low in that side profile shot!.,makes me want to keep the turinis & get the Corbeau's instead....body work first tho before the summer

 

[OssPoop]

Hold on a sec, keep the turini's? You're not thinking of swapping then are you? It looks perfect as it is.

Well if i do get another set of alloys i’ll still keep the turinis.
Ive heard 15’s give a better ride,cheaper more options on tyres to and just fancy a change mate,i like the 2118’a but its nothing different.

 

[OssPoop]

I knew you were going to say 2118. I blame @Dr Jekyll, he's a bad influence on you!

Haha could be,but i have seen cups with them on & they do look very nice.Its crap as theres not many choices in alloys for the clio or there horrid designs.i would love turinis in 15inch

Or turinis in a nice grey,bit like this.

 

[yeecup]

What spacers are you running on it?

 

[182_steve]

The side on shot of your car looks awesome buddy, and as you said, very lowwwwww

The side on of the 2118's looks very cool too btw..... but the Turini's suit yours so well!

 

[Chris V6 255]

Keep it as it is. Looks awesome!!

Thanks lads,i do like the turinis & they do suit it. @182_steve @Chris V6 255

 

[MrBlonde]

Got a new ktec super quiet centre section to fit at the weekend to.

 

[Photomattbrown]

What fog ducts are they @MrBlonde ?

Just ones ive made from speaker ports mate.

 

[Photomattbrown]

Just ones ive made from speaker ports mate.

Well they look bloody ace, did you find a port that would slot straight into the existing hole? I’m thinking of doing something similar but I don’t want to have to modify the surrounds as I want the option for everything to go back to original

 

[MrBlonde]

Thanks mate,not to my credit the idea but i did do them myself.

No mate they need a bit of modding & wont slot straight in.You would need to mod the fog light holder and the speaker ports to @Photomattbrown

 

[MrBlonde]

So just had the new tailpipe custom made on the new system.

Which do you prefer!.

Top is old & bottom is New one.

 

[imprezaworks]

To be an ass, probably inbetween lol

Any rear on?

Just this for now,prob stands out as car is dirty and exhaust is new.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah looks better in that pic

 

[182_steve]

Looks much better that, bigger and fills the cut out in the bumper.......... just needs the trim around the cut out now! Were you still having issues with that?

 

[MrBlonde]

In just leaving it mate,as got use to it now & nothing would fit properly,also now its a bit bigger if i fit some trim it woukd start to knock on the tip and maybe melt it @182_steve

 

[182_steve]

Ahh that makes sense! Yes just leave it alone then, looks good as is!

May spray it black mate,that bbq black stuff.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Looks great! But I'd prefer a bumper trim to finish it off.... :tonguewink:

Thanks mate,if i can find something that will fit mate i may do it,but then it will prob melt now as this tailpipe is a bit bigger.

Maybe something like this? Looks decent when fitted. I Just picked a random one so find the right size you need

 

[MrBlonde]

Ive tried that mate & couldnt find one that fits/looks nice @Louis

 

[MrBlonde]

Gave the tailpipe a quick blow over in bbq/stove black this morning,just to see for now then in the summer or dry day i will do it all properly and prob use the exhaust wrap,just because i have some sitting about.

So from stealth to small tip now to a larger tip?

 

[MrBlonde]

Yes mate,wanted something that filled the cut out better.Old one was 2.5inch & this one is 3inch. @Phase1sr

 

[imprezaworks]

How’s it sound

 

[MrBlonde]

How’s it sound

Much better now thanks mate,i think big thing was removing the rear box heat shield.

 

[imprezaworks]

Good stuff

 

[VR46-G@Z]
