^ You should also use this as inspiration for your wheel choice ;)

The black wheels do nothing for the colour mate. There was one on here recently with silver Turinis and the colour looked great against the Petrol Blue!

Personally a pet hate of mine. Anyhow, I have another RS itch so was casually browsing as you do. Came across this car which is fairly close to me. From the ad (as usual) it sounded OK...

I had my Turinis done at CAS Coatings in Bradford. They did a superb job. I know a lot of other members who have had their wheels done there also, all have turned out well! They charge £1 per inch. So if your wheels are 16", then it's £16 per wheel!

Late to the party, but I've just installed this today. I can't believe how 3 year old hardware is still this fast! It runs flawlessly on my 2009 MBP. An answer in itself to the standard 'Why is it so expensive, when my Dell was 1/3 of the price and is fine?' question from the Apple haters.

The Vee looks a million times better on the silver wheels! Well done. On the other hand, the 182 wheels have had the opposite effect on the flamer :( I've always been a fan of the standard wheels on them!

Looks like a nice clean example mate! Your plans sound good too. Ouch at the Audi!

Personally one of my favourite looking cars! I'd love one. And to people saying it hasn't changed much, it's because they got it so damn right in the first place. Similar to the kind of changes Porsches go through. The subtle change however is an improvement.

I like it! Looks really well kept. I personally like the look of the Curpra R splitter on the front too. It doesn't look like an add-on on the Leon and I can't see if affecting re-sale in any way!

Lovely that :)

Nice car mate, looks lovely! Would have to be LMs for me!

Sounds like a good project with some nice plans. Absolute bargain at that price too! Where abouts in Leeds are you from mate? I'll keep an eye out for you!

I don't think I dare show up in my current shed. Might park it 2 miles down the road and walk to TOPO LOL.

+1 for silver. Looks so fresh. There was a thread on here recently from a guy with them, can't remember his username though.

Makes me miss mine :( Looks awesome!

I know what you're saying mate, I really do and personally I despise paying for insurance - one of my pet hates. However his 1.2 was around the £1000 on insurance...surely that would be 50% of the cars worth too no? If the guy's happier spending his money driving a car that he wants, rather...

Stay silver. Not much point going black for the sake of 'having to pay for a refurb' when silver look that good!

I saw a silver PH1 at our local cinema with a Trophy spoiler. Looked great.

Read it backwards ;)

Looks great Matt!

Wise move. Mick at Diamond has a really good rep on here, he'll sort you out!

In that case, with no history get it booked in for the belts doing ASAP with a specialist from here. It could be a ticking time bomb if not. Other than that, seems like a good buy. Not sure the plates are 100% legal but the majority of people on here run them daily!

Go for some cheap mods to tidy the outside up! The ones with biggest effect are the fabia splitter and fresh plates including a smaller front plate using the guide on here. They make quite a big difference for not much money. In terms of the wheels, I'd refurb the ones you have instead of...

Keep the 172 as said. I'm suprised noone else has mentioned how cheap your 172 was! 57K, FSH for £1100? Bargain if there's nothing wrong with it!

Trophy spoiler looks great! Some nice clean plates and that's a winner.

Great work Scott. It looks awesome!

Saw the BG this morning around 9am, CS sticker and *18 TWO plate. And the Inferno this afternoon. It had a bike on the roof!

I used SRP on mine which was perfectly fine. I found it was the wax that really brought the colour out. Dodo Juice Banana Armour was the one for me. Check my threads for photos of my Inferno!

I love this car!

Phew! It'll look great mate, good choice.
