Love that, especially the bullets :)

A few of mine :)

Same here, turns out someone round the corner owns another MB 172. Getting a rare colour doesn't always work. Petrol Blue next for me :)

Jim - That looks like a great example. The Phase 2 in titanium is such a good looking car, no wonder you are very happy :)

Must update my profile, I'm a 172 boy now :)

First few posts made me feel depressed!

I miss the Vee badly, will hopefully get another one in the new year if I feel more secure at work.

Saw you at about 5pm today. Great looking car :)

Awesome 2nd car that :D

Agreed, pretty much why I just got one. Very good spec, look good and quick when driven hard. The good news is that there will be lots of 182's to choose from in the same price bracket in a few years :)

Love that, the wheels arer a great finishing touch :)

Ha, those are the same colours / cars that I had to choose from a few weeks ago. Went for the MB 172 in the end and haven't looked back TBH.

Here here, it's your car so do what you bloody well like with it. I find it amusing that people think they know better than you even though you are maximising it's future value and still enjoying it from time-to-time. Thanks to you Dawn we will have at least one very well kept Vee on the...

Good work Dawn :) Did you find the gear shift light on the dash? Only time I saw it was the night before I sold mine a few weeks back :D

Thanks all. What do you think the problem with white wheels? Has it been done by anyone else?

Ha yes it is Greg, Saxo ownership seems a long time ago now :)

Thanks guys, she's not perfect but I'm happy with the progress so far. The Vee was a forced sale Chris as work is not looking good, I've always loved French hot hatches though and the 1*2 is a natural 2nd choice. Had a Liquid Yellow one last year and loved it, it's also nice to be able to throw...

As you may have seen from my recent thread in Clio Chat, I agonised between a Monaco Blue 172 and an Iceburg Cup as a replacement for my Vee. I went for the 172 and have spent the last few days sorting the paintwork out. Below are the results after washing, claying, polishing and waxing...

Thanks guys, think it was the best all rounder. With the money I saved, I'm about to order a new head unit. Going for the Pioneer Iphone one which is £230.00 delivered. Looks brilliant and plays video :)

Haha so 3-0 to the Cup then :) Well I'm afraid I went for the 172 but spent a while deciding. I knocked the seller down £600 plus I love the colour and prefer the alloys. I would have gone for the Cup but the dent in the bonnet and the price difference swung it for me. Have already done...

Looks like a nice tidy example :)

Thanks to everyone for their help. I looked at 3 over the weekend and had a hard choice between the silver Cup (discussed earlier in this thread) and a Monaco Blue 172. The Cup was 53 reg, had 60k on the clock and was very tidy apart from a palm print dent on the bonnet and a small scuff on one...

Going to see both a 172 and Cup this weekend so will be able to make an informed decision :)

Another good proposition. Certainly is a buyers market at the moment, I'm spoilt for choice. Still not 100% sure I could live with a cup. I like to drive close to the edge but maybe not enough to justify one at the expense of the 172 toys.

Thanks, oooh a rare blue phase 1 (at least I think they are) :)

Pics?????

Yup it's a 172.

Thanks, I'm not very good with the 1*2 colours! Great colour though Monaco Blue :)

Not seen that one yet, thanks. Going to look at a navy blue 172 tonight. 80k on the clock, cambelt changed and good condition. It's up for £3,200, what do you think? I reckon it's worth closer to £2,750?

Bargain, a lot of car for not much money!
