Does anybody have any decent pictures of a silver 172 stnd alloys refurbed in gloss black and or athracite. Getting mine done but still undecided. What peoples thoughts. I am thinking gloss black just to be different. Cheers

Cheers, I will check the shocks see if they are leaking. If they need replacing am I best to replace the springs with eibach ones or will the old ones be ok. If the eibach ones make the handling that much better I will go down that route. Are the shocks on the 172 and 172 cup different and is...
