That looks good mate! Good thinking with the air filter :) and the dash strips are different! Look decent!
I think the exhaust would look better If it was cut into the bumper personally. But if its only temporary obviously don't lol. You need a cup spoiler! Transformed the rear of mine! ;)
Hi all,
I have a mate who accident bought some 172 outer arb polybushes.
I can now have them off of him, question is... Is it worth upgrading my standard ones? Will I notice any difference? I don't actually know what an outer arb bush is, or does...
Thanks
Ollie
Okay il probably just wait for a cup bumper in that case. £30 for some carbon ones doesn't sound bad but I ideally want them flame red...! And £80 from renault is a joke.
The French flag? I used electrical tape. Only done 1 layer of each colour as a test run. 2 layers would cover up the dodgy...
Thankyou! Everybody I've shown ATM likes them apart from me and you. Needed to find somebody else who doesn't like it! ;p
And I will get those stickers, but in a couple months time my bumper will be being repaired and resprayed as it has a crack in it :/ speaking of things for the bumper - I...
Thanks mate :) what's your opinion on the French flag on the grill?
My arch liners Il keep an eye on. Thanks for the heads up!
This is the eBay code for the engine cover bolts. He also has them in stainless steel and blue. I've noticed he has no others in red for sale ATM but if you email him...
So my mate came over this evening and surprised me with some silver visions! So quickly fitted them :) also tried out that French flag on grill... I've taken back off as I'm unsure but some people like it :S
What's everyone's opinions?
Silver visions on!
And the grill flag...
Thanks all
If nobody replies on here and you manage to find out, please send us a PM. I dont mind having to turn the key twice before starting, but it would be nice to fix it..
Cheers mate!
PS, mine was on similar milage at the time aswell. Weird!
So. New disks and pads have been fitted! (thanks to G172, superb service! Very helpful and fast delivery- must leave some good feedback!)
So now the bedding in has begun!
And I also fitted some new engine cover bolts as mine had all gotten ruined with use.
Got a quick pic, isn't great...
At the crossroads you were turning right, plate ended HAJ. I swear we went to Brighton; inCarnation together?! Recognised you. Had a CS sticker in rear window.
I was in the passenger seat of my mates bmw that went infront of you

You don't want a flamer.... They're crap ;)
Haha. So glad I got one over a silver one or summin. Superb colour especially in the sun!
When you making the change?x
Thanks mate :) out of all the upgrades I've done on the car, little things like that which just tidy it up are always the best :)
I'm sorry about not sending payment over today btw, had alot on the go :/ il try my very best to send it over tomorrow!
Few updates today!
Girlfriend of 3 years left me last night, so am trying to keep myself busy - which means the car got alot of treatment :)
Washed inside and out, wheels cleaned inside and out! (All 4.... Took ages lol.)
Then painted the brake calipers red! (Only have 1 pic of that...
Looks great and sounds absolutely superb! Would love to do something like this to mine.
On a separate note, what spacers are you running front and rear?
I didn't see any stripes, but then I did drive past quite quickly. Looked like it had black 182 wheels on it though? About 8;15 ish coming from Slyfield way heading towards ladymead
The fact it needs Cambelt, aux belt and possibly dephaser changing within the next month or 2...
PAS pump whines like a ***** so needs changing,
Clutch release bearing is on way out - so that will all need doing in the future,
Front bumper could do with the crack being repaired (although not a...
Yawn. Another pic with no progress really...
Had a dent on the rear quarter removed yesterday though ah the cost of £20. Superb job - well happy. The car is now dent free!
Anyway, boring pic I got - would love to find a good photo location but that's difficult in Guildford -.-
Yeah it probably is. Either way I didn't do it for the power increase: you don't gain much at all / if anything with air filters. I just didn't want to lose power :) feels like I hav'nt so I'm more then happy with the results of putting on this ph1 box!
Well, I can't be 100% sure unless I did a dyno before and after, but I drive the car a hell of alot and it doesn't feel any different! Just more noise. Initially when I put my foot down it seems to pickup better, but as I say that could all be in my head
Hard to describe, it just sounds like a deep roar lol. I should try and do a video really sometime, it certainly turns heads when I put my foot down that's for sure! Also it has a slight whistle sound to it when you get really high in the rev range which sounds pretty cool.
I love it :) best...
I fitted a ph1 airbox with a ktec air filter inside. It sounds insane! Feels more responsive but that just may be in my mind, certainly hav'nt lost power though.
Always another option :)
