i made a 172 replica..... cost me a fortune, i regret it really, a lot of money wasted. sold it a while ago... for 5k, was a 1.4 16v

 

[Christophe]

that rep is mint ^^

I would wait for the real thing. I had a 1.2 corsa which i did up slighttly for 3 and half years then got a 172. no regrets at all.

indeed a nice replica

seems like a good idea at the time but if i went back i would of just bought coilovers and wheels and left it at that and saved

yeh lowered on 172 wheels or turinis...

But if you revert back to standard come sale time, you lose practically nothing as the parts could be sold on.

BTW, she's still looking well Josh. I've been expecting a tribal sun strip to appear as there is a poorly kitted Corsa that parks outside the same house as the Clio and it's covered in the tat.

The best thing about 172 replicas is that you get absolutely destroyed at the lights by real 172s and it makes them feel really good about themselves, but you just laugh cos your cool like

yeah

But real 172's get destroyed by my 1.2 at the lights . Does that make them cooler than me?

 

[Dcds4]

Nah you'd still be cool cos you'd know whats going down, you got it all in your head, its when people dont know.. thats when they got problems, thats when they are not cool...

LOL. Mine is actually a 172 but badged a 1.2 so it throws a spanner in the works a little.

There's nothing better than circa 190bhp badged as a 1.2 battering a genuine 172/182.

 

[ChrisPearson]

I dont regret it

 

[DCI_DUDE]

I was only thinking of turning mine into a 172 because of the petrol/road tax !!!!

 

[-KarL-]

this is mine

 

[Timmay]

love those wheels - they off a megane arent they?

 

[Gareth]

yes they are, they do look mint.

 

[Christophe]

how low is that karl?

 

[-KarL-]

i think about 70mm on FK coilovers

 

[Christophe]

was it a hard ride as i had 60mm on fk coiloovers on my corsa and the ride was awful

 

[-KarL-]

very bumpy lol

but get use to it after a while

 

[Christophe]

ye i know what you mean i did with my last car but i cringed everytime i saw potholes and speed bumps.

 

[Coxieboy]

Wont you have to declare the 'mods' to an insurance Co - premium will be higher than a std 1.2.

Wouldnt bother, save your cash and buy one when you can..

 

[Feirny]

Still miss EKO Josh, minter of a car at its peak.

I feel your pain man, ive been tempted to get some 1.2 badges but i dont like confusing the poor stock 182 owners when i light them right up...
