Just got my 172. OH YEA!!

[Pich]

Just picked up my 172 its in manaco blue and on a 03 plate with 37k on the clock for £4800.
Do you think thats a good deal or have i got ripped off ?
The only bad thing is that there are quite a few stone chips on the front, is this a common proplem with monaco blue as it seems to show up more ?
Does anyone know if you can get the chips repaired ?
Also theres a little trolley dent on the rear arch,
could i get this repaired to ?
I probly could of waited for a perfect one to come along but this was localish and the colour i wanted so i went for it.
Do the majorety of you have little bits your not happy with on ur car ?

:S yes to all of the above

 

[Fletcher]

Any more questions..lol

get some pics up monaco blue looks great on 172's

Sounds a nice car bud.

Get the bumper painted and dependent on how obvious the dent is youy may get away with leaving it.

Get up some pics ?

You got any plans for it ?

 

[Mells]

Good price that!

 

[TimR26]

Good price that and the best colour. Might just be unlucky with the stone chips as mine doesn't have any problem with them.

good price that mate. I paid £4300 for my 51 plate fame red 172FF with 38k on the clock a couple of weeks ago, however I bought it off a mate so gotta a better price then I was seeing for that spec on autotrader/pistonheads/ebay.

yea!! my exhausts sit a little to 1 side of the "cut outs" damn annoying, sounds like you got a gr8 deal tho chips and scuffs are just every day thins hopefully you can get them sorted pretty easly

i've got an odyddsy blue which is similar and my front end looks battered with stone chips too. more than likely down to following too closely on the motorway.

Just thinking the same.

sorry if i sound like an idiot but do you mean the cambelt ?
if not what belts do you mean?

 

[kenny172]

aux belt and cambelt are both needing changed if not done already.

 

[Pich]

None have been done, so i guess it guna be pricey?
How much would both of the belt changes cost ?
do you think it should be ok for a few more months ?
Heres the only pics i took so far
