I don't mind who carbon wraps what. just a bit of a joke

Wrapping is like a breast implant, however good they look they just aren't real.

Well I don't know if its right, but when I approached an ebay seller for one was told dealer part only and yes £150.

Head gasket went on my daughters 1.2 8v not long after buying it, Had little value so didn't want to spend money on it. So first thing bought the cheapest h/gasket kit I could find, then stripped engine down and removed cyl head. I then got some medium grit wet and dry...

Well on my phase 1 a 7 inch rim et 35 with a 15mm spacer hits the arch on the rear.

one of my old fords which I sold a couple of years ago and another

Cannot believe how many phase 1,s and phase 2,s really are being broken, Used to be terminal rust was the only good reason to break a car, but these are rust free, still will just make mine rarer.

Its probably a gearing/rev limit issue , how ever much power it has.

Will look better than having the lower profile on the rear

The "BUMP" happened or this wouldnt be on here, you were the car at the rear, you are f****d. end of

Yeah the whiteline is set on the softest setting.

Yeah but as ive fitted the rear whiteline ive changed the balance so i think a thicker front one would restore it, i just seem to have more body roll than i like, its only a road car so dont want to go too stiff on springs.

That does seem to ring a bell,

cheers for that, do we know actual dia though, i can then measure my own to compare.

As title, is it possible to get one, with some other cars ive owned its been possible to buy aftermarket ones or fit ones from other models.

A 182 with the better phase 1 engine, seems underpriced to me.

They are just wheels, something to put your more important tyres on, going along the road they,ll look like a set of standard 172 (phase1) wheels anyway.

Sorry, what dont get you, i saw the original post and didnt think of any advice i could give, i then saw the advice to take the other wheel of and thought brilliant, couldnt believe that it didnt cross my mind to do that.

NO, I WASNT TAKING THE PISS, didnt even cross my mind to take the other side of.

My first 172 (108,000 miles ) had a very noticeable kick, could really feel it, my latest (62,000) has absolutely no kick at all, the engine note changes but nothing happens.

bet very few get torqued up properly with all the whitelines getting fitted, only did mine "tight" as i had no figure.

Nice one, brilliant

year 2000 phase 1 172 on 62000.

If moneys tight brakes and suspension do not need upgrading, perfectly adequate as they are. Mine are totally standard (as far as im aware) with just the addition of a whiteline rear anti roll bar, although i would like to lower it slightly eventually.

Got my letter today (two actually) cant really be arsed to read it all, good opportunity to replace with catch,s, and then itb,s

Probably also because its a relatively tall/narrow car with weight high up, ie glass

I made my own, dont have measurements to hand im afraid, but i didnt need any holes apart from the 4 holes for the bolts, made from aluminium and been on the car for a few months now, no problems. Think i drilled the holes 10.5mm and 8.5mm to allow for a bit of discrepancy.

Should be able to tig/mig it up i would think, if you have the equipment,

Dont know the answer but if i was going to sell my cup setup, (brackets only) i would be asking £75.
