So after nearly 5,000 miles since i've had the car I have effectively made a downgrade and replaced the shiny look at me 18's for a set of 17's. The car might have lost some of it's specialness in the looks department now but it has gained massively in the handling department and made the car so...
it's quite raspy at times... i quite like it but it could do with being louder to hear the bangs and pops more! in the back of the car it sounds a little boomy.
not bad, but room for improvement is my judgement
bit of a thread bump... i've been driving past these fields for a few days and thought what a good photo scene they'd make so tonight i made use of the nice weather and stopped for a few quick pictures whilst the gate to the field was wide open :)
almost lost my splitter getting in and out of...
Monaco is still my favourite 172 colour and that looks a good job... but please sort out the rear badges... the Renault one is too high and just looks odd!
the owner of the locked up garage forecourt needs a medal... there are some truly shocking cars there which he's done everyone a favour by taking them off the road!
good read that, always good to see something different...
weirdly enough just driving into work this morning i noticed a similar style lorry and trailer parked up in a layby, took a double look and it was a Chris Waite wagon lol
don't do it... Bubbles old 182 had them fitted and they sagged big style... by the time we took them off they were nearer 50/55mm drop. fit for the bin only

oh and gutted to see the damage, i...
mine on the 18's doesn't seem at all bad... not as bad as my old 182 Trophy but agree probably not quite as good as a 197, but nonetheless it feels planted... more so than the one i test drove on 17's did anyway
lol... nope it's only been 2 weeks! ;)
i couldn't find anything that really ticked that many boxes tbh... was all set for a Scirocco but the price put me off, plus as nice as it was, something just held me back from buying it. fancied an Edition 30 too but didn't dig the interior or the...
Thanks Tony.. hope you and Mrs Tony are both well??
the chap did it a few weeks before deciding to sell it... agree though that it looks good with the updated splitter, though it's a bit of a nightmare when parking in spaces with kerbs in front of you!
So... 1,000 miles and 2 weeks later I gave the car a quick clean today and took a few more pictures, nothing different to the car, just a change of scenery!
