Got both kits changed on mine for £550 at Arnold Clark Renault in Stirling if that helps at all. V.good price for a stealership I thought.

V-Maxx are only good if you want to go lowwww in which case you won't be to bothered about handling. They were fine on my 1.2, but no way I'd ever put them on a 172, especially after experiencing the Bilsteins on mine.

+1, exactly what I use. No need for this flat blade nonsense good quality normal ones are fine.

Falkirk eh, I'm from Alloa, will have to keep an eye out for you when I'm through that way.

Yes alternator/auxiliary belt are the same thing. So it won't need changed.

No Dave it's red mate.

Got that pic of the Clio as my background now LOL Nice shots.

The snow I woke up to this morning, Alloa finally caught up with the rest of Scotland and got some decent snow!

Nothing wrong with the standard airbox really, just upgrade the filter in it and the CAFs and it'll be just as good if not better than any induction kit.

That looks a very nice example. Plans sound good too.

Welcome, nice Golf you have there. Take your time and get a good example of a 172 and you shouldn't have any major bills other than getting the cam/aux belts changed if they haven't been done already. Niggly things will fail like every car, but they're usually cheap parts to replace and the...

I don't even know where to start picking apart what's wrong with that induction set up.

No amount of painting is going to hide a crack I'm afraid.

Listen to CS. Stop listening to whatever plonker is telling you it's a grey import.

Aye why no, can always re-do it if you get bored. My Gf is pestering me to paint mine LY....

No, it would look utterly shite.

Quarter and door will need done, not going to be cheap I'm afraid.

Welcome. You've had a few wee beasts over the years eh!

It could be done if you're properly going far too close, I've never managed to do it though and we pressure wash cars at work straight out of the spray booth. So whoever was washing it must have been centimetres from the paint.

Black one on silver Turini's as Ali said, be like an updated version of your old rep.

LOL I bet he never thought of that! :rolleyes: You must live in a crappy area mate I was 18 0NCB 3 points 1.2 with wheels lowering and exhaust £1000 fully comp with Elephant. The strut braces and induction kit are pointless so sell them on, and you don't have to declare a CD player. So...

I bought a brand new exhaust hanger and as soon as I put my K-tec stealth into it it just sagged down completely. Need to pack it out with sockets.

They're £200+ just for the part, then you've got whatever they will charge to take the bumper off and fit it for you...

19, 172.

Serving?

I never mentioned anything about people thinking it was a 1.2 without all the badges, I don't care about that like you said I know what I'm driving is fast/nice whatever so I'm not too bothered about other people. I just think pulling off all the badges looks poo, a few simple ones left on look...

Wrong! :) If I went back and did my 1.2 again I'd leave the standard wheels on.

PH should check Adverts and just instantly throw any shite like that back off it again.

Keep those 15s on and go lowwwwwwwww.

Being a ned FTW. Glad you're keeping and making it even better, would be a shame to see it go.
