Don't put 17s on it, 16s at the most. A 40mm drop on 16s and you will still be able to get in and out of every car park you can think of Though to answer your question, they would fit on but lowering may be a problem.

I sense you not being here long . . .

Their also all going to say get rid of those lights :rasp: Nice apart from them

+1 Friendly advice, have a goooood look round this site before posting anything about what mods u do, will save you a lot of abuse:)

I've said it before in another thread, the only colour to have a mk1 in imo.

There was a turbo'd 172 with a super 1600 bodykit on it that appeared in max power, was around 300 bhp iirc? May have had a lot of other work done mind.

That is a seriously good finish for using rattle tins. Do a lot of spraying? Looks good, though I'd do the wheels gloss to match

nice, now go back and biatch slap whoever put those outside weights on your wheels.

60 mm apex shocks and springs, sportlines will do bugger all on a 1.2. I have 40mm apex and am changing to 60 cause its not low enough for me

The only one to have on a 172 imo. Although that longlife doesn't look too bad, as said try to modify yours to sit recessed?

Aye get the tracking checked mate. After mine bein lowered 40mm the steerin had to be slightly to the left for it to go straight, got the trackin done and its cured it. Can only imagine what it must be like with yours bein slammed!

Like the stance in the second to last pic

Looks a tidy one, good work. Don't change the wheels though! Just lower it a bit on those ones, keep it fresh:)

Yeah he either cant be bothered or has no idea what he's on about. Take it somewhere else.

Its a mk2, end of story. Doesn't matter about ph 3 4 whatever, its a mk2.

I'm gonna be different here and say don't do it. Don't like, looks good as it is imo.

There are 2 lambdas on the 1.2 one before and one after the cat. You could always do what f0xy did, handle of a jack put inside the cat and using a mallet smash the linin out the cat. Although this is a bit ghetto and you would need to buy another cat to get it through the MOT. Edit : Thats...

I like, although that exhaust looks suspiciously like a jap look bean can? Like the yellow/black rims.

They may look ok, but if you have the cornering lights as said don't bother.

Did you ever think some people might just like the challenge of converting their car to a 2.0l? Also iirc a converted one is cheaper to insure and tax than a proper sport (even if it is declared), so if you end up with an uber cheap engine and can do the work yourself your probably cheaper, and...

Ah cool, plate was almost identical aswell. Martin av seen you a couple of times, you passed ma mates house a while ago when a was washin ma car there.

In denny about 8ish tonight, turned down the same road as me after facing each other at the T junction. Followed me for a min then gave a flash of the lights as they turned off to the right.

I dont get it either. Do you mean the first set of photos are when u got it, and the last with the dark wheels are how it looks now you've sold it?

Ruined. Give me the one next to it any day :)

Yeah I get the feeling most of the people posting dont know the story behind the car. If its for track why not, coat the thing in stickers:D

I really don't like any of it sorry:( Would look better standard imo.

I like :)Finished id say

There isnt a car there I don't like tbh Top photos:)

The only combo i like mk1's in for some reason - that colour with dark ish williams wheels. Standard headlights as said and its spot on
