Awesome thread mate, good work.
Getting my Cup 172 this weekend and those are the harnesses that I am after also, how much you pay for them and where from?
By the way I have started a new website to consolidate all my detailing information etc
http://www.d-taylor-detailer.co.uk
Any suggestions or pointers gratefully received.
Yeah mate really pleased with how they have come out, so glad I went for the same paint colour. Just the spoiler to go them its on to my 172 Cup, which I've put a deposit on
Finally a track car, will do a separate thread on this, can't wait to get started.

Right finally went to get the Turinins fitted, annoyingly I didn't take the shorter wheel bolts as forgot the rear spacers needed to be removed. So the car has only the front set on until Tuesday.
So the setup previously:
ET45 20mm spacer front and 16mm rear
New setup (or will be...
Was mates rates, and for the price I paid its fine, also I think I might have done it myself. Its okay as you cant see it now after the touch up, gonna put a thin layer of clear nail varnish over it so it will be even less noticeable.

First off must say what a fantastic day weather wise felt like early spring.
So today I set about painting the front callipers as they will stand out a lot more once the Turinis are fitted.
A few before and afters, you will also see I partially cleaned up the arches but little...
Yeah no worries buddy any time.
Apart from the colour they have different offsets, the Cup offset is ET38.5 and the Trophy are ET45, so the Cup wheels stick out 6.5mm further out the arch than the Trophy ones.
So I will be shifting my spacers around so that I don't face any rubbing issues.
Not a member yet so can't visit that page, can you share the image on here please?
Painting of the other bits will have to be next month, spent this months budget.
Lovely mate, looking great, personally I think on 172 Coloured Cup Turini wheels this would be even better, however lovely looking car and fantastic turn around all credit to you and your had work :)

Just been told that my wheels are ready and have been sent a photo, I have had them painted in the same colour as the car, as in exact paint code, I really hope it works and that I don't regret not having them done in the brighter silver that they are on the 172 Cup.
Should have...
Car looks fantastic just the look that my project will be like.
Which offset Turinis are these? Cup 172 38.5 or Trophy 45 ?
Are you running any spacers?
Just had a text back this morning from a mate in the trade and he said his chap will do it for £150 to £200 depending on the condition of the spoiler, a much better price. As I have bought the wheels this month the spoiler will now need to wait until next pay day. But I can see light at the end...

Also this evening I have managed to source some Cup 172 Turinis, I am having them re-sprayed in the same paint code as the car (Titanium Silver MV647) they might be ready as early as next Thursday then its just...
Yeah I was not sure on the height but happy where its located. But yeah have seen a few different places people have chosen.
As for the grill I did try to remove it but it literally wasn't budging and if I pressed / hit it any harder it was going to damage it. Gave me a chance to clean up a...
Yes really good thanks mate, finally got round to carrying out some work again as can be seen in my last post. Hopefully more bits happening over the coming weeks :smile:

I had the tracking checked and adjusted on Friday as it hadn't been done since fitted the new tyres.
Car was a disgrace and was due a really good clean as hadn't been washed for over 3 weeks.
I decided to replace the rear badge which arrived over the xmas period, frustratingly even...
I have settled on this badge for the rear as its still pretty OEM but with a slightly more modern look:
