Yeah Id love to have a drive in one, my 1.3 sr was fun enough back in the day! I actually after reading and replying to this thread watched an Adam smith video on one. They sound so good!
It would be cool if you could get one and retrofit it but with a side load of android, so for shows you’d have the original sat nav but for use you’d have up to date stuff.
Or just get a housing (rare as rocking horse poo) and put a double din in.
I absolutely love this! It’s awesome, and I’m really jealous of it! Love a bit of Americana. my only complaint is that I couldn’t hear country music blaring on the drive by video?!
I’ve replaced a couple and if it’s soldered in like most is quite simple if you have a steady hand and a soldering iron. Definately worth a go as they are only a few quid.
On that note, that brochure shows arctic blue as a metallic pearlescent illusion paint too, just like the id paint colours? Thought arctic was just metallic, not pearl.
hi. The sidelight bulbs in the headlights are present but do not work on the rs model, it appears they fitted bulbs as a matter of course. The daytime running lights in the bumper are the sidelights. Are your daytime running lights working? Is they are it seems strange they’d fail the mot for...
I’m pretty sure the tyre size was 195/40/16 for a 172 cup and maybe 205/40/16 for the trophy. I know a popular mod is to fit the 205 tyres so they should be the same. Although to be fair I thought the widths were the same whether trophy or cup wheels so maybe I’m wrong.
I always thought that 172’s without the alarm sensors and led were imports. I had one that didn’t have them and that wasn’t listed as an import but was definately one. If I remember correctly there were a lot of 172’s that were imports due to car supermarkets buying them cheap and selling them on.
Nice write up and will help people no end. Certainly looks the part. You need to get a project thread up as it seems you’re doing some nice bits! Car looks good
