The Sunflower

[Melissa]

Ok, so when you find a cheap near perfect Sunflower 172 on the interweb it has to be bought. Yesterday me and my old friend James had a cleaning session and although it's been raining and doesn't look as gleaming and shiny in the wet I've thrown up a couple of pics

 

[Poopensharten]

Lovley, mileage?

 

[Melissa]

70k

 

[Poopensharten]

Well played, you would have had to been on your toes to snap that up!

 

[Chris205]

I need to stop spending money, save up and buy one of these as a second car, awesome!!!

How much did you pay if you dont mind me asking

 

[ABOO]

Looks really clean, though I'm not keen tbh. Like the LY 182, but don't get the Sunflower phase 1...

 

[Gally]

Did you clean the windows?

The rear one looks like it has no product at all on it.

Nice though.

I couldnt own another yellow car though.

 

[Christopher]

I love that so much.

Don't touch it now, just pamper and tidy.

 

[Melissa]

I'd rather not say how much i got her for but it was a very good price imo.

Unsure of the back window Gally, it was a literal case of being in and out of the garage for cover when the heavens opened

Don't plan on doing anything daft at all Christopher

 

[Christopher]

Eight grand, yeah?

 

[Rob]

That front bumper must have been painted at some point, mine's on less miles and looks MUCH worse.

Damn fine buy

 

[Christopher]

Hmm, I dunno. It's still got the original sticker around the tow eye, so it might be original paint. It'd be awesome if it was.

 

[fUbAr]

Love it.

roffle at how there isn't a single Ph1 with a front end that lines up correctly. They're all on the piss.

 

[JoeyD]

Mmmmmmmm, do want!

 

[Chris205]

Add coilovers, winde them down and you will instantly have one of the best ph1's on here, add a ph2 rear bumper, side strips and cup spoiler for extra win

 

[Melissa]

Thanks ever so much guys, really appreciate the positive comments, i have been very lucky

The plan is coilies and 'possibly' a ph2 bumper, but i think it'd be stunning just slammed.

 

[Christopher]

Don't put a Ph2 bumper on it. It'll ruin it.

 

[Melissa]

Cant be arsed to get one sprayed if i'm honest lol

Also the steering wheel is really worn, can a ph2 wheel fit on or not? Or what wheel can i put on?

Oh and i miss my Frenchy pressed plates from the RB, so they will be ordered asap.

 

[Christopher]

And it looks worse. I did it to mine and regretted it.

Sensible coilover drop, clear repeaters, Cup Splitter, silvervisions and new plates.

Awesome.

My old one, just to give you a look at the splitter.

 

[recaro182]

Looks s**t

 

[Melissa]

Looks s**t

So do you, the end.

Get a wheel trimmed by one of the two guys on here, they look superb when done. Total OEM-ness too.

 

[Christopher]

Ph2 won't work. Different airbag setups.

 

[.GAZ.]

Love it.

 

[Needster]

Very nice, Mel. Looks in good condition.

 

[.GAZ.]

Clio p**n tbh!

 

[Feirny]

Mine's better? :dapprove:

Farking love it, once mine's in better shape I'll come for a play <3

 

[Rob]

Better shape? What's up with your thang?

(your car, filthy barsteward)

 

[Feirny]

Better shape? What's up with your thang?

(your car, filthy barsteward)

Erm, it shagged a wall.

 

[Melissa]

Thanks Chris, needed that clearing up as heard different things from different people.

Yes Greg, get it sorted pronto.
