ha ha, i think you've got caught up in the middle of our opinions lol
it's your car, you can do as you please with it ;) personally the silver badges are a nice touch, so you have a 1.4 sleeper then if 1.2 badges are fitted ;)
if someone takes the effort to make theirs look like a 172/182 by colour coding it, changing the wheels, interior etc then i say fair play, do it. there are some good cars on here which are lookalikes and i've got a lot of time for them :approve:
but if all you have is a standard looking car...
bargain! if you can't find a local spray shop try ebay for silver sprayed badges.
putting 2.0 badges on anything that isn't a 2.0 is just wrong, especially if it's a standard looking dynamique ;)
:approve: thanks for the positive comments..... i'll be making more of an effort to try and keep the tomato looking good for the winter months, 3 days on and still gleaming and reminding me of how cool it is to have a clean car
must admit that with the permaguard treatment it has made the red a lot brighter (and lost some of the orange look it gets in some lights)
it has air con, but not xenons. with some upgraded bulbs you won't miss the xenon's and the recaro's are a nice extra :approve:
your car now have black wheels? i am pretty sure it was me, running very late for work and came round the traffic to tuck in behind you at one end of maylands avenue?
I've cheated a bit as the car has a permaguard protection, the paintwork is mint. although i do hang my head in shame for the length of time since cleaning it, i agree it should be looked after :o
Well partly through laziness and partly through being busy and having fun driving the Trophy, it's been a while since i got round to giving her a clean.

Anyone else had a 172/182 where this has occured and if so how'd you get it sorted?
I've zoomed in a bit so you can see the leakage in a bit more detail too :
Any advice greatfully received!
