Yeah will whack some standard ones on soon enough! Yeah splitter is in good nick actually

Cheers, yeah thought it seemed a bit steep but apparently the engine needs to be dropped and shifted sideways hence the large labour costs and with the dephaser too it all adds up unfortunately!

That looks brilliant! I guess the job is too difficult for a novice then? Cheers for the link

Hello :), One week ago I purchased a 172 Cup 53' plate for £1330, bit of a reduction from the £1850 asking price but this was due it needing belts done etc. My last car was a 1.4L Fiesta which I had for 3 years, needless to say this car is my new pride and joy. This was her in the advert: I...

Haha! Also do a mock insurance quote on it and enter the reg and see what the page says.

Hi all, just got a new Kenwood head unit with a rather appealing blue glow to it. I was wondering if anyone has done a blue LED conversion for the speedo etc, if so is it easy to do or would I need to pay someone to do it? Cheers Sam

Saw it parked just off the campus my girlfriend is at uni there. Car needs a good clean ;).

I think there is transparent foil there

Just bought the decal and lacquer. Cheers for your help

Not losing it at all. Just think "what would I do if it were me" and you can normally outsmart them with some quick thinking. I.e. running half round a building when you have been seen and just double back and then chase them. Works for me!

Thanks all for your help, with the lacquer what exactly am I looking for? Like what type/brand?

Hi guys, Complete noob and need a bit of advice please. The gear knob markings on my MB 172 Cup have completely worn off and I want it back in the original look. What is the best way to do this? I heard the word inserts a few times and not really sure what these are/how to use them. Or is it...

Does this mean a new battery is NEEDED or recommended?

Yeah it is my first quick car, my 1.4 Fiesta was lacking a bit compared to this...! Thanks, I will bare that in mind just seeing what it could do as I have just got it . Cheers, it's going in for a cambelt and mini service tomorrow so will ask if they can check these too. I have seen torque...

Not sure that would look any better than my worn one! Seems a bit of a gap in the market here. Wonder if my local scrappy has any 172s... It's a long shot!

Oh, does this happen to everyone then?

Hey all, Have only had my 172 Cup for a few days now but noticed if you accelerate heavily in first or second the car will sometimes just pull of to the right or left (it changes) and significantly raise my heart rate! Is this due to it being a small car with a lot of power which I am not...

How much would it be to post it to Southampton do you know?

Or a right hand one for ph2 172? If not where can one be purchased from any ideas please?

I think that guy only had it since Feb this year so not a long time. Small world eh. Ok cheers ill have a browse on there

Hi, yeah that is the one i got today with the clear lights from Totton. I live in Netley Abbey so was pretty close by! Hi, thanks for the advice I will have a read so am a bit more clued up. The guy doing it is a mechanic and friend and the car has no history of having it done...

Hello all, today I have just purchased a lovely little 172 Cup and I am already in love. My very poor car history consists of a 1.4L 2002 Ford Fiesta in Burgundy, so as you can imagine this is a bit of a change! Went to my first track day at Brands Hatch a few days ago and was amazed by the...
